Young Optometrists

Providing a voice & supporting students and Optometrists in the first 10 years of the profession.

Welcome to YO: Young Optometrists NSW/ACT

We look forward to and enjoy working within a profession that is based on patient care and interaction with people. To ensure clinical and professional growth we feel that it is important we interact with our colleagues on both an intellectual and social level. Hence YO – an organisation that focuses on improving the networking and social opportunities fo

r young optometrists. The YO Executive:

Chair: Dr. Wilson Luu
Secretaries: Dr. Megan Tu & Dr. Celine Zhang
Treasurer: Dr. Benjamin Kwan
Education Officer: Dr. Jack Gordon
Publications & Social Media Officer: Dr. Sheila Lam
ACT Liaison Officers: Dr. Jacqueline Henwood & Dr. Rose Huang

YO want you to jump on board with YO projects and events too. We are hoping this will bring new grads out of the isolation of the consulting room and facilitate the discussion and camaraderie that so quickly dwindles after graduation. Sign up today at http://bit.ly/2cWkaKd

What an incredible night at our Optometry Marketplace event ✨

We loved seeing so many students and optometrists come together to learn more about the different career pathways, practice models, and opportunities within the industry. The feedback from the night was overwhelmingly positive — from the engaging discussions and amazing speaker line-up, to the opportunity to connect and network (plus the good food of course 🍴).

A huge thank you to all of our speakers for sharing your time, experiences, and insights with us:
• Joe Tanner (CooperVision)
• Rebecca Dang (UNSW)
• Sujan Hong (CCLSA)
• Amy Pham & Zeinab Fakih (ACBO)
• Megan Tu & Wilson Luu (Lumiere Eyecare)
• Michael Nasser (Vision Connection)
• Acyel Al-Alosi (Specsavers)
• Catherine Huynh & Julianna Yan (EssilorLuxottica)

And a very special thank you to CooperVision for supporting the event and helping make the night possible 🤍

We hope everyone left feeling inspired, empowered, and more confident about the many pathways available within optometry. Until next time!
