Newtown

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!

I’m a therapeutically registered optometrist and have worked in a variety of practices across Australia for 12 years. I believe everyone should have access to quality eye care, and I’ve been part of volunteer missions in El Salvador, Mexico and Bolivia. I have a special interest in contact lenses and treatment of anterior eye conditions. Working for an innovative, altruistic company like Dresden has let me focus on my favourite part of being an optometrist – providing the best solution for patients’ eye health.
