Book with Abernethy Owens Optometrists Floreat

Born and raised on a "fruit salad" orchard in Mareeba, Far North Queensland, Wendy spent her university holidays packing mangoes, lychees, avocados and custard apples. Wendy graduated with 1st class honours from the Queensland University of Technology in 1992 after completing her Bachelor of Health Science in Optometry. She moved to Perth after graduating with the plan to stay for one year, but fell in love with WA and has called it home ever since. Wendy has been with Abernethy Owens since moving to Perth in 1992 and enjoys all aspects of Optometry. She especially loves that fact that she has seen so many of her patients grow from children into adults and now have children of their own. Wendy spends her free time with her husband and teenage children and soaking up all that WA has to offer. Wendy consults on Saturdays from our Kardinya practice.

Born and raised in Perth, Janette completed her bachelor of Biomedical Science double majoring in Anatomy and Physiology. Following this, she completed her postgraduate degree of Doctor of Optometry from the University of Western Australia, graduating with the first cohort of optometrists in WA. Janette is passionate in delivering patient-centred care. She strives to meet her patient’s eye health and vision needs to a high standard. Her areas of interest include general optometry, myopia control, paediatrics, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy management. Outside of work, Janette is spending time with her family and friends. She is a foodie, so you’ll perhaps see her at a café or restaurant. She also loves playing board games and reviewing the latest movies. Janette is currently practicing in our Woodvale and Fremantle practices.
