“As a new parent myself, I remember shining a light into my baby’s eyes, worrying about a possible turned eye. While it can be just pseudo-strabismus, it’s so important to check—because sometimes it can be true strabismus. Book in with us if you’re ever unsure—we’ll help give you peace of mind.”

After 23 amazing years at Family Eye Care, we’re celebrating Alison as she begins an exciting new chapter.

As the smiling face at reception, Alison has welcomed generations of patients, helped you choose the perfect frames, adjusted countless pairs of glasses, and brightened our days with her kindness (and her delicious baked treats!).

Thank you, Alison, for everything you’ve given to our practice and our patients over the years. We’re so grateful for you and so excited for what’s ahead… and knowing Alison, we might still see that beautiful smiling face around from time to time!
