We refer to our Warragul location as "just right". It is the vibrant centre of West Gippsland, with a rich rural environment offering a range of comprehensive healthcare services such as the local hospital and our optometry practice.

John Farmer
I have always been passionate about improving eye health and giving back to our society and especially to those less fortunate. As well as working in private practice I have enjoyed teaching as a clinical instructor at University of Melbourne, and helping to develop new optometric instrumentation to improve eye health in the community. My most privileged and rewarding experience has been the numerous visits to PNG over a 35 years period to provide and teach others to deliver eye care. I still regularly visit PNG to educate and train others as well and work on national committees to improve eye care.
Ken Thomas
My interest in health sciences and helping people led me to my career in optometry. Being able to enhance and protect our most precious sense of sight has been truly rewarding. I enjoy meeting our locals, understanding their visual needs and educating them on ocular conditions. I've been in the industry for 30 years and can honestly say it has been a privilege. In my spare time, I sail, play volleyball, ski cross-country and over indulge in coffee.
Markus Ochsenbein
I have been in the optometry field for 27 years. I developed a curiosity in low vision rehabilitation early on, and this led me to my passion for Children’s Vision and Behavioural Optometry. I enjoy being able to utilise my optometric skills to provide individuals with vision solutions customised for them. It is truly rewarding to be able to enhance someone's quality of life, especially the younger ones.
Cath Cubale
I chose to become an optometrist because of my desire to work with people and my love and appreciation for the health services industry. I’ve been a practicing optometrist for just over 20 years and I’ve been especially lucky to have a fabulous employer that allows me to balance my career and my family time. In my spare time, my family and house renovations keep me busy; but we also love to travel as often as we can.
Judy Taylor
I wanted to be an optometrist as I loved Maths, Physics and problem solving at school. I also enjoyed meeting new people and helping people wherever I could, and optometry was a great combination of all of my interests. I’ve been a practicing optometrist for over 30 years and it has been one of my most rewarding achievements. In my spare time, I enjoy sailing, cycling, gym and ballroom dancing.
Lanka Wickramaarachchi
I chose optometry as it combines my interest in health science with my passion for helping people. I love getting to know my clients and learning about their eye conditions. It is a privilege to provide client-centred care focused on personalised solutions. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching movies, being a foodie and travelling overseas.
