My optometry page

In 1997 and 1998, I worked as an optometrist part time, while finishing off my BSc in mathematics. While I quickly became disillusioned with the practice at which I was working, it's possible, though unlikely, that I may go back to being an optometrist again.

Here are various articles I wrote that are somehow related to optometry:

• 30 day Extended Wear contact lenses—are they really an option?
  • Picture - Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis
• Coloured contact lenses—why they REALLY annoy me
• Behcet's syndrome
• What you should expect in a full initial optometric consultation in Australia
• Making your presentations readable

Remember that these are MY opinions, not necessarily the opinions held by the majority of optometrists.

If you spot any errors or have any suggestions, please contact me.

Have a look at this AWESOME online book on visual perception, called "The Joy of Visual Perception".
