Ezekiel Eyes - A Three Generation Story

1916

The first optometry practice, “M Ezekiel and Sons”, was founded in 1916 by Elias (Ellis) Ezekiel and his brother Abraham (Abe). They also had a second practice, in Batavia (now Jakarta).

1942

The Ezekiel family members were refugees of the war and journeyed to Fremantle. When the war was over, they returned to Singapore and Ellis Ezekiel rebuilt the practice on Battery Road.

1952

Race riots in Singapore caused the family to sell the business and move to Perth. Ellis started a practice on the first floor of a building on the corner of King Street and St Georges Terrace then later moved to the ground floor shop front.

1957

Ellis’s son, Donald Ezekiel, graduated in optometry.

1963

Donald married and went to London, where he completed an advanced contact lens degree. Donald returned to Perth and worked in the family practice which, by then had moved to the Hay Street Mall.

1971

Donald started his own practice on the first floor of a building in Kings Park Road.

Also in 1971, as he couldn’t source the contact lenses he wanted, Donald began designing and making contact lenses for his patients. He started his own contact lens manufacturing company called WA Contact Lens Manufacturers, then, some years later, changed the name to Gelflex Laboratories, where he continues to research better contact lens designs.

1973

Moved to Outram Street, West Perth.

1990

Damon Ezekiel graduated in optometry from the University of New South Wales and started working with his father, Don.

2018

Damon becomes the first Australian President of the International Cornea and Contact Lens Society – a prestigious achievement!

2018

Damon awarded the Hershel Medal Award for volunteering work on behalf of the charity “Sight For All”.

2024
