Cons for VisionDirect AU Online Store
Vision Direct may not be for every Australia customer. There are a handful of customers that may be better off buying from a discount optometrist due to the fact the Vision Direct:
- Aren't registered with all health funds - so you may not get a rebate (be sure to check this before you make your eyewear purchase)
- Orders can take a while to be made and delivered - allow time for your order to arrive as some customers have noted that it took weeks to get their purchase

The History of VisionDirect
The SBG Optical Group was founded in 2006 by three Australians; Doron, Tony and David. The trio were on a mission to offer great value glasses to customers around the world, while being socially minded. In addition, the company aimed to help fight world poverty by giving those in need free prescription glasses.
With little startup funds, the three started the company out of their bedrooms spanned across three countries. Friendships were tested while the site grew, but all the stress has more than paid off with the website becoming a huge success globally. Today, Motion Global (the parent company) is one of the largest online only eyewear retailers in the world. The company employs over 150 staff in 30 countries speaking various different languages.
