“At The Eye Scene I have created a haven; a beautiful boutique space which has more in common with an art gallery than an optical storefront. This is how important I believe it is to find the right glasses for you. I absolutely love what I do and can’t imagine doing anything else.”
-Lindy Goodman, Owner
Meet Our Team
The Eye Scene team comprises of Lindy, Fabian, Debbie, Janine and Claresta – each offering unique strengths to best serve our clients. Our team is dedicated to providing a professional and yet personalised experience to every single customer who walks through our doors. From eye examinations to helping select the perfect frames for your face, The Eye Scene team has the know-how and experience to assist you.
A qualified dispenser for almost 30 years, Lindy is so much more… She is the heart and soul of The Eye Scene. She is determined to educate people that eyewear is so much more than a practical accessory. To Lindy, eyewear is a statement and one piece is never enough to suit any and all occasions. For this reason, The Eye Scene stocks thousands of pairs of glasses at any given time with new stock arriving every three months.
Opening The Eye Scene in 2003, Lindy has continued to serve Sydney’s Double Bay and surrounds with unique, stylish, fashionable, boutique eyewear. Lindy is consistently researching, building relationships with suppliers, attending trade shows and keeping abreast of the market. Travelling overseas on regular buying trips, Lindy ensures that her clients can select from the very best eyewear available anywhere in the world.
‘I buy every single pair of glasses with someone in mind. Whether that’s because they are colourful, different, unique or special. Eyewear is the very first thing people will notice about you (not your shoes) so you must get it right.

After graduating in 1982, Fabian took up locum work in various parts of Australia. This gave him the experience he needed to start his own practice and become the well-respected optometrist he is today. In 2005, he joined The Eye Scene, and it’s been a tremendously rewarding and educational journey ever since. Fabian knows each and every one of our clients and has been an integral part of our business for the past 14 years.
Debbie has a special interest in behavioural optometry and children's vision. She has an affinity with children and is passionate about ensuring that their sight is in the best possible care. Whether preventative or because an issue is suspected, Debbie will put your children at ease.
Debbie offers full-scope optometry including behavioural optometry, therapeutics, contact lenses and is familiar with new technology such as Digital Retinal Imaging and Ocular Coherence Tomography. She has extensive experience in frame selection, dispensing, adjustments, repairs and administration.
Janine joined The Eye Scene after a very successful career in Early Childhood Education. This is apparent in the patience and special attention she gives to our youngest clients. Janine's hands-on approach with all stock arriving at The Eye Scene means that she knows exactly what frames we have and will help you select the unique eyewear you’re after. Janine is a qualified Optical Dispenser and loves nothing more than helping and advising clients with frame selection.
