What Have Our Optometrists Been Up To?

Michael Hare recently visited Sydney as the Gold Coast representative for the launch of a national education campaign to highlight the risks of Glaucoma to patients. Keep your ears open for our new "media star" early in March 08 as Mike educates Gold Coasters on the importance of thorough eye exams to prevent vision loss due to this terrible disease.

Celia Bloxsom was extremely busy in late 2007 as she studied for her Graduate Diploma in Ocular Therapeutics. She achieved outstanding results in her theory exams, and will spend time early in 2008 performing practical clinical training with local ophthalmologists, before sitting her final exams. This will bring our number of optometry staff able to write prescriptions for eye medications to three.

All our optometrists regularly attend continuing education seminars to ensure we know about the latest advancements in eye care. In 2007, our optometrists attended the Qld Vision Conference in Brisbane, SRC Eye Conference in Melbourne, The International Contact Lens Society conference, and the Eye Centre Conference along with countless other short seminars, and of course our own regular in-house meetings and training sessions.
