Which Aussie summer icon are you?

No matter your vibe, protecting your eyes from the sun is a must this summer.

🍖The BBQ Boss

On the grill? Don’t forget your sunnies to protect your eyes from UV rays and smoke while you cook.

🏄🏽The Thrillseeker

Out on the water all day? Use eye drops to keep your eyes fresh and hydrated.

🏖️The Beach Bum

Found your spot at the beach? Keep a wide-brimmed hat handy and take breaks in the shade to shield your eyes all day.

👙The Poolside Chiller

Baking by the pool? Avoid direct eye contact with the sun (even if they’re closed) with UV-protective sunglasses and reapply sunscreen around your eyes for full coverage.

🎣The Sit and Fish

Gone fishin’? Polarised sunglasses and a hat will help reduce glare on the water so you can spot the big catch while protecting your eyes.

Stay sun-smart and enjoy your Aussie summer safely.

Retirement Announcement

After 40 wonderful years in optometry, I've decided it's time to hang up my trial frame and step into retirement - a little earlier than expected, but with a full heart.

It's been an incredibly rewarding career, and I feel very fortunate to have worked alongside so many talented, dedicated, and genuinely kind people over the years. I've learned from some great mentors and shared countless memorable moments with colleagues who have become friends.

To my loyal patients - thank you for your trust and for allowing me to be part of your lives and your eye care journey. I will miss you all, but I know you are in excellent hands with the wonderful team at Lees and Henschell who continue to provide the care and commitment you deserve.

As I look ahead to this next chapter, I do so with immense gratitude for all the people, experiences, and memories that have made these 40 years so special.
Much love
