Meet Our Bloggers

Our Bloggers are... Michael Hare, Celia Bloxsom, and Andrew Bowden.

MICHAEL HARE
Queensland Optometrist of the Year 2002, Michael commenced practice with Brian Job Optical in 1977 after graduation from QIT in 1975. A councillor for the Qld Div of the Optometrists Association Australia for 20 years, Michael served as State President from 1992-1994. He further served as National Vice President from 1994 -1999. Michael has travelled widely, both in Australia and abroad, in numerous activities aimed at raising the profile of Optometry. He has lectured, been a clinical supervisor at QUT and has published widely in the optometric literature. He has been a member of the prestigious Australian Optometric Panel for 20 years, and via this acts as a consultant to the optical industry in the development of new products and ideas.

CELIA BLOXSOM
Graduating with first class honours from QUT in 2000, Celia Bloxsom entered private practice in Southside Brisbane in December that same year. Celia’s local reputation in contact lenses and international recognition in orthokeratology, as well as her delight in general practice, has made her a wonderful addition to the Visions by Brian Job family.

ANDREW BOWDEN
Since graduating from QUT in 1995, Andrew has worked in private practice on the Gold Coast and New Farm in Brisbane. In 2001 he returned to Visions, and became a partner in January 2003. Andrew usually consults at Treetops and Tweed, with occasional visits to other branches. His professional interest is providing quality primary eyecare to his patients, with special interests in ocular disease diagnosis and management, and contact lens practice.
