What do you do at Opticare?

I am an optometrist and Co-founder / Director of Opticare Opticians.  

Do you wear glasses or contact lenses yourself?

I wear multifocal gas permeable contact lenses which allowed me to do all my daily tasks and hobbies easily.  

What does a typical day at Opticare look like?

I don't consider anything typical with my daily work. Each day presents a new challenge and different patient experiences. What I enjoy about my work is being able to see so many diverse people on a daily basis, and being able to build long-term professional relationships with them.  

Tell us a little bit more about yourself

I enjoy travelling and eating a variety of different cuisines. My favourite holiday destination is probably Cape Town in South Africa. The people are lovely, and the city is so rich with culture.
