I graduated with honours from the University of Wales in 1986, and have been a member of the College of Optometrists since 1988. I’m therapeutically registered in the treatment of anterior eye conditions and glaucoma, and my optometry career has taken me to Europe, Africa and now Australia. As a clinic supervisor at UNSW I specialise in low vision rehabilitation and Aboriginal eyecare.
 



I am the inventor of WolfChart, an open source eyechart that works in an internet browser. All of our Dresden practices use it, plus it is in use by community orthoptists, researchers at the George Institute, and even in a Hebrew version in Israel. 
 



Community involvement is important to me and so is sustainability – so Dresden is a great fit. As a home brewer, I love wearing frames that are made from recycled beer keg caps!

Hey, I’m Cat - a therapeutically endorsed optometrist. I have worked in both independent and corporate practices since graduating in 2016. 



I love being part of the Dresden community and am very passionate about their sustainable approach to custom eyewear.I believe that vision care is of vital importance to every person’s future and that looking after our eyes and managing any optical issues are protective of general function, independence and quality of life overall. 



Every person’s needs are different and unique to their own situation. I believe that an individualised approach in looking after your visual health is important - My aim as your optometrist lies in individualised care and providing you with education around maintaining healthy eyes.

I graduated from University of NSW with Honours in 1991. I have worked in a variety of both private and corporate practices across NSW over the years and I remain very passionate about my work as an Optometrist in all aspects of Optometric Care. I strive to provide the best possible Eyecare and Visual solutions for everyone, irrespective of their age. 




My main areas of interest are Pathology, Children's vision and Contact lenses. Pathology would include areas such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, vascular and peripheral retinal diseases and cataracts. 




I really enjoy working with an innovative company like Dresden as I am inspired by their sustainable, innovative approach to glasses and lenses and the fact that unlike any other practice in the Sydney metro region, we can manufacture glasses for patients on the same day or on the spot (pending on their prescription). 




I look forward to seeing you and solving all your Optical, Visual and Eye health needs.

G'day! I graduated from the Queensland University of Technology, class of 2015. Since then, I've worked for a number of different organisations, including: 




Australian College of Optometry, where I completed my post-graduate experiences, doing post-graduate certificates in glaucoma and contact lenses. 




The Brien Holden Vision Institute, doing work in rural Indigenous communities. Specsavers at Brookside, QLD




And also doing clinical teaching and supervising, since 2018, back at the Queensland University of Technology.



Currently I am still in a teaching role at QUT, and love working at Dresden three days a week. My interests outside of work include latin dancing, football (the round ball version ;)) and surfing with my Dad and little brother. I consider myself a good listener and I always work to do a thorough eye exam for my patients/clients. 




If you're in town, we bulk bill Health Care Card holders and Pension Card holders, and our front staff are lovely, so come in for an eye exam!

What kind of optometrist am I? 




I believe in giving all my patients the time it takes during their appointments with me to address&nbsp;all&nbsp;their questions. 




I don’t believe in selling in the exam room. By removing all potential financial conflicts of interest, I can objectively focus on my patients' best interests. I don't sell glasses, I don't sell supplements, and I offer all required additional testing such as retinal imaging at no extra charge. 
 




I believe in education. Bring on your questions and I’ll break down the concepts behind them to build up your understanding of even the most complicated eye/optics related subjects.



How will we communicate? 




Probably in English, but if you want to practice your French I can do that too.



Maybe you’re Deaf?



No problem, I can get by in American Sign Language.

I graduated from University of Waterloo School of Optometry and Vision Science in 2018. While in school I had the opportunity to work in Waterloo, Calgary, and Pinellas Park, Florida, as well as volunteer in Chisinau, Moldova with Volunteer Optometric Services to Humanity. 




I’m thrilled to be back in the city I was raised in and I’m excited to bring my skillset and passion for eyes to the Dresden family. I have a special interest in contact lenses and dry eye management. My goal is every patient who sits in my chair not only receives exceptional care, but also leaves their exam a little more knowledgeable. 




I’m fluent in&nbsp;English&nbsp;and conversationally fluent in&nbsp;Vietnamese.

I’m a therapeutically-registered optometrist licensed to treat eye disease such as glaucoma and I’ve practised in both England and Canada. My philosophy is all about education and prevention, and I like to make the eye “exam” an enjoyable and informative experience. I believe that your appointment should be an open dialogue between doctor and patient without any barriers. I hold a special interest in dry eye management and I see myself as a preserver of eye health before anything else.

Graduating from the University of Toronto and the New England College of Optometry, Dr. Pelia is currently licensed with the College of Optometrists of Ontario and an active member of the Optometry Association of Ontario. 




Dr. Pelia is familiarized with a wide range of optometric specialities from contact lenses, glaucoma management, binocular vision training and pediatric care. However, her focus and passion throughout school was heavily ocular disease focused. Dr. Pelia has done her rotations through some of America's most prestigious hospitals including Boston Medical Center and the Veterans Hospital in Buffalo New York and is keen to bring her experiences and strong knowledge base back to her patients in Ontario. 




The most important thing for Dr. Pelia during your eye exam is that you walk away with a clear understanding of your eye health. She gives each patient their due time in the exam chair and encourages questions about your ocular health at each step of the exam. 




Dr. Pelia is actively learning French but can conduct an eye exam in English, Punjabi, Hindi and Spanish at this time!
