Dennis Dwyer
As an independent optometrist throughout his career, Dennis values the impact that good eyecare can have a person’s quality of sight and life. Professional education in Australia and in the UK enables Dennis to understand the needs of his patients and recommend the best treatment option for his patients, many of whom have been associated with the practice as lifelong patients. His passion for independent optometry was seen in his active involvement in Optometry Australia and Provision as board member. He relishes the opportunity to speak to community groups on eye health and eye care and loves to mentor young optometrists as they begin their careers. Dennis is an enthusiastic Queenslander at Rugby League State of Origin time. In his spare time, he loves spending time with family and friends and being in the great outdoors.
Murray Ross
My entry into optometry started at the age of 15 with a part-time job in an optical mini-lab and I've now been practising for 30 years. A deep curiosity formed and I had to unlock the mystery of how an optometrist could derive a mathematical formula from a human eye to create a spectacle lens. I felt of all the 5 senses, sight was the most precious and it would be vital to care for it. Combining science, innovative technology and working with people to drive life-changing outcomes has been so rewarding. Being able to enjoy the great outdoor lifestyle of the Redcliffe Pensinsula is an added bonus.
Katie Dwyer
Katie graduated from QUT in 2013 and has worked in corporate and independent optometry in Perth and Brisbane. Since returning to Brisbane, Katie has worked as a corporate optometrist, a clinical supervisor of students of Master of Optometry at QUT and as a clinical optometrist in a private ophthalmology clinic gaining further insight into the treatment of cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. We look forward to Katie increasing her consulting days at Dwyer & Ross Optometrists in 2020. Katie loves that optometry combines both physics and biology and enjoys helping patients look and feel their best, whether in spectacles or contact lenses. When not at work, Katie loves catching up with friends and family and baking treats for the lucky ones.

Dwyer and Ross Optometrists are passionate about making a real difference in our local community. Our beautiful Moreton Bay and coastal foreshores need to be protected and we make an effort to reduce waste in the optical industry.
In the age of throw away, we choose frames for their quality, durability and longevity. Once the frame and lenses come to their end of use for our patients, they are sent to the Lions Recycle for Sight programme. Here they are sorted and distributed to optical missions around the world.
As a community collection hub for the TerraCycle recycling programme, contact lenses and packaging do not find their way into land fill but become recycled product. We actively re-use and recycle packaging in an effort to reduce waste within our office.
Our fundraising efforts proudly support Optometry Giving Sight and the Guide Dogs.
