“ I could hear young children ' s voices , I could hear men ' s voices , but women ' s voices were gone to me ”
Q . WHY IS A CAREER IN OPTOMETRY FULFILLING TO YOU ? “ I ' m one of those lucky people who enjoys going to work in the morning . I work with a great crew , and our goal for people is that they will smile – or genuinely laugh – at least once when they ' re in the office . Giving patients unexpected vision creates that moment very easily .
“ I have people apologise when their vision is normal and they say ‘ Sorry to take up your time , doctor . I was a little concerned ’ – but I instantly reassure them . Literally , on my first day , I was told by a senior colleague : ‘ Half your day will be spent assisting people and half your day will be spent reassuring people , and both will appreciate you equally ’.”
