After completing an optometry degree at Glasgow Caledonian University, Steve gained experience and training at the world-famous Moorfields Eye Hospital in London before becoming one of the UK’s leading eye professionals and a director of a number of blue chip optical companies.
A winner of the industry’s top award, Optometrist of the Year, he’s successfully launched multiple optical stores, mentoring and training high-performance teams and advising the boards of some of Europe’s leading optical companies.
In 2014, after completing the prestigious Australian Optometrist Registration, Steve moved to Sydney’s Northern Beaches with his wife, Charlene, a local community doctor, and young son, Max to manage an optometry franchise in Stocklands, Balgowlah, where he was immediately embraced by the local community. He spearheaded the development of premium optometry eye exams, prioritising high-tech examination techniques and enhanced customer care. After selling the rejuvenated business in 2019, he founded Dr Steve Tang Optometrists in Balgowlah and the Get2020.com.au online store.
In June this year, Steve and Charlene welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Lottie, and you’ll often see the family walking their Scottish terriers Pip and Lu Lu at Tania Park. Steve is a keen early morning surfer at Manly and is skilled in the Brazilian martial art, Jiu Jitsu.
