Zac Zacharia
Optometry was always something I have known, wearing glasses since I was 3. It is a very rewarding profession ' combining health, technology and people. Outside of work I love visiting my family in Cyprus during our cold winters and of course, Rabbitoh's victories.
Jessica McDonald
I became an optometrist 12 years ago because I enjoy helping people achieve their best vision and giving advice on how best to look after your eyes. Science and maths were my favourite subjects at school and I always wanted to do something health related. In my spare time, I love taking my kids to the park, cross-stitching and reading books.
Samantha Scarlett
I became an optometrist as I had always been interested in a career in health. I then read an article about how more children are needing glasses because of increased screen usage, and the rest is history. I've been an optometrist for 3 years, and I love being able to help patients with dry eye conditions. In my free time, I love to go to the gym, pilates, bike riding, weekends away with my partner and brunch with friends.
Prue Walsh
I’ve always had a strong interest in pursuing a career in allied health. After researching it became apparent that there was a shortage of optometrist servicing regional and rural areas and so I felt optometry would be a very rewarding career with great job opportunities. Furthermore, it provides a great work-life balance and love that I get to meet and build great relationships with my patients. Outside of work, most of my time is filled in with sport – netball, AFL football and tennis. In the summer months I love waterskiing, camping and fishing with family and friends.

Since opening the practice 20 years ago, Zac Zacharia Optometrists have enjoyed being involved in the local community. Our most recent contribution was sponsoring the Tumut Boxing Day Races, which was a day well spent seeing regular clients and socialising with the town.
