Thao Hannaford
Optometry has three of my favourite things to do in the world: mathematics, problem-solving and caring for people. I’ve been an optometrist for 20 years and I enjoy helping others reach their goals by providing them with quality vision solutions to live their day to day lives effortlessly. I also enjoy teaching undergraduate optometry students and passing on my experience and knowledge to the next generation of professionals. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, playing the piano, studying and teaching martial arts.

From 2004 to 2016, we have been visiting Nepal with Rotary Australia annually to help those less fortunate. This culminated with an eye hospital being established, comprising all levels of eye care from spectacle making to eye surgery. We were also involved in a similar project in Mongolia. On an ongoing basis, we continue to collect donated spectacles from the community; and have previously been guest speakers for various clubs, helped with home visits and provided vision screenings at schools.
