I became an optometrist because I believe it is a worthwhile occupation. Every dayI can help improve someone’s life and sometimes even save someone’s vision or even their life. I love the mix of science, technology and interaction with people.I have been practicing 40 years this year, 2017. In my early career years I was active in the Optometry Association of Australia and subsequently an board member of Provision to ensure the strong growth of independent optometry.
