Sally Ann O'Brien
I grew up watching my father, Mac, practice optometry, and the eyes and visual system always interested me. I realised optometry would be a profession where I could help people, while continually learning and developing new skills. I constantly hear my patients say 'Of all my senses, my sight is the one I could not bear to lose'. Every time I hear this, it reaffirms for me that we, as optometrists, have the utmost responsibility to care for peoples' vision every day.
Sarah Warlow
I had been interested in optometry from a young age as I was very short sighted and needed glasses since grade 3, and then contact lenses in high school which made a significant difference to my quality of life. I wanted to be able to help people with their sight, with a focus on children and those without access to health care and glasses. Enjoying the beach and relaxing in quaint coffee shops are my favourite pastimes.
Julie Bazzo
I started to gain an interest in the field of optometry throughout school after requiring eye surgery for a 'turned eye' at the age of five. This sparked my interest to find out more about how the eye and visual systems work. I enjoy interacting with people and spending the time to get to know each and every patient. I come away each day with wonderful stories from our conversations. I graduated in 2002 so I have been a practising optometrist for nearly 17 years now. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing and playing the piano.
