Book with Eyefix Optometrists

Leah completed her optometry degree with honours at QUT in 2009, followed by a Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics, which allows her to prescribe ocular medications. In 2016, Leah became part of the QLD Children’s Hospital Optometry Alignment Program, and began working at the QLD Children’s Hospital in 2019 in the ophthalmology outpatients department. Following that, Leah began supervising optometry students at the QUT Optometry Clinic. In 2020, Leah completed her Professional Certificate in Paediatric Eyecare through Ulster University, UK. She recently became part of the Princess Alexandra Hospital Optometry Alignment Program. Leah joined Eyefix in early 2023 and fell in love with the practice immediately. Leah spends her free time at the beach with her two young children and husband, or watching the AFL!

When I was finishing high school I had a keen interest in optics and health and Optometry seemed to be the perfect marriage of the two. Since starting in the profession I have come to learn that my one goal in Optometry is to focus and preserve my eyesight. I graduated from QUT with first class honours in 2002. I have worked in a number of corporately owned and privately owned practices. In recent years I have also completed further studies to allow me to prescribe prescription eye drops to treat a range of eye conditions. In my spare time I love spending time with my wife, Belinda and my two boys, Harrison and Lachlan. When time permits I enjoy keeping fit through triathlons and catching up at BBQ’s with friends.
