👋 Farewell to Charles 👋🏻

After just 12 months with us Charles is moving to the Sunny Coast—and while we’re excited for him, we’ll miss him dearly. His sharp eye (pun intended), and genuine connection with patients have made a lasting impact on our team and community.

Thank you, Charles, for your dedication, your humour, and the way you always made people feel seen—literally and figuratively. Wishing you all the best in your next adventure. You’ll always have a place in our hearts (and our patient files!).

Drop your messages for Charles below—let’s send him off with all the love he deserves 💙👓

📚👀 80% of a child’s learning happens through their eyes — yet 1 in 5 kids can’t see properly and don’t even know it.
By 2050, half the world’s population is expected to be myopic.

✨ MiYOSMART lenses can slow myopia progression by up to 60%, giving kids clear vision today while protecting their future sight.

Just like a car service or a regular health check, your eyes need attention too.

An eye examination helps ensure your vision is clear, your prescription is accurate, and your eyes are in good shape. It also allows us to detect early signs of conditions that could affect your long-term eye health.
