The best thing about being an optometrist? For Nick, it’s being able to make an instant improvement in a person’s quality of life and finding the best visual solutions for their day-to day life. Nick always strives for clinical excellence and believes being a great communicator is key to achieving this. He loves chatting with his patients and taking the time to explain their eyes in detail and the different options in which he can help. Nick grew up in a small town in New Zealand and studied optometry at the University of Auckland. After graduating, he made the jump across the ditch to Perth to chase the sunshine and better weather. Nick has a particular interest in Orthokeratology, dry eye management, and myopia control. In 2017, Nick presented his research on myopia control at the International Myopia Conference in Birmingham and is currently completing additional studies in Advanced Children’s Eyecare. Outside of work Nick is often at the beach or satisfying his sweet tooth by baking some treats.

Nicole is from Northern England but also spent some time as a child in Israel (she’s fluent in Hebrew!). After getting her first pair of glasses at sixteen, she thought optometry would be a great industry to work in, and it sparked her interest in becoming an optometrist as a career. Nicole studied optometry in Glasgow and has since completed an advanced certificate in children’s vision and additional studies in vision therapy. Nicole practised in Scotland and England before making the move to Australia in 2006. Nicole loves being able to help people resolve their visual and learning concerns; taking the time to listen to her patient’s concerns and working towards the best solution for each individual. Children’s vision, vision therapy, and myopia control are the areas she is particularly passionate about. When she’s not in the office, Nicole enjoys spending time in the great outdoors with her kids.

Darrell’s fascination with the eyeball and vision began after sitting in and observing his mother’s eye examinations when he was growing up. He graduated in Johannesburg in 1986 and worked in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK before migrating to Australia in 1999 where he worked as a partner in an independent practice for 12 years. Meeting people, being able to make a positive impact on a person’s quality of life, and educating patients about vision is what Darrell loves most about his job. Darrell has a keen interest in contact lens fitting and management of neurological disorders. He has completed a post-graduate qualification in the management of neuro-ophthalmic disorders and a graduate certificate in ocular therapeutics. He regularly presents to local physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other health care professionals about vision’s role in a person’s treatment and recovery. Darrell is a former President of the national board of Optometry Australia. If he’s not looking at or thinking about eyeballs, Darrell is likely playing sport or eyeing off (pun intended) another guitar to add to his collection!
