Liz completed her degree in optometry in 1990 and has been in private practice ever since. Her interest in optometry started early as she was always at the optometrist as a child. She had to wear glasses, have eye surgery, and do vision therapy before the age of 5! Liz’s special interest has always been in how vision and eye problems develop. She is a fellow of the Australian College of Behavioural Optometry and is on the examination board of the Fellowship program for the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometry.

Liz has 2 teenage sons who keep her busy with their sporting endeavours. She enjoys the outdoors, yoga, reading and travel.

I grew up in Sydney with plenty of family, friends and a great Church community. Having experienced double vision for a while without realising that this wasn’t “normal”, I underwent vision therapy at the age of 8 for an eye turn. The orthoptist who treated me at the time gave me my passion for helping children with vision difficulties, which brought me to where I am today.

I completed my Bachelor of Optometry/Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours and the University Medal at UNSW in 2011. After graduating, I worked at a Behavioural Optometrist in Sydney, all of 5 minutes from where I grew up! After completing the Masters Course at UNSW in Behavioural Optometry in 2014, I went on to be awarded a fellowship with the Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists in 2017.

After 7 years working in Sydney, I decided it was time for a change, and moved up to the Sunshine Coast to join Caloundra Vision Optometrists. Here I continue to enjoy my passion for helping people with their vision, but also have more time for the things I love – travelling, yoga, beach-side living, a good book and warmer climates. I am especially glad to now be living closer to my brother, his wife and their family – 4 gorgeous nieces I adore!

I have taken my passion for yoga a step further and completed my Level 1 Yoga teacher training in June 2023 with Yoga NRG. Come find me at a class and say Namaste!

Kate grew up in Echuca, a small town in country Victoria. She completed her studies at Flinders University in Adelaide 2014 and has worked ever since in regional practices in Victoria and Queensland.

Kate has a passion for helping children and adults alike to achieve their best vision, whether by glasses, contact lenses or vision therapy. She has extensive experience in therapeutic optometry in glaucoma co-management, removal of ocular foreign bodies, inflammatory or infectious corneal conditions and dry-eye management.

In her spare time Kate enjoys an active lifestyle and gets out to the beach regularly with her pup Rudy!

I have worked with Caloundra Vision Optometrists for over twenty years so have developed a great eye for frames and faces. I have also spent a lot of time working in Vision Therapy with children with all kinds of vision needs.

I’ve moved from Victoria to be close to family and join the team at Caloundra Vision. I have been in the optical industry for over 25 years.

I have been with Caloundra Vision for many years and love the friendly atmosphere.

Each day at Caloundra Vision is an opportunity to learn something new and work with a great team of people in a fun, relaxed environment.
I enjoy helping people choose frames that they are comfortable wearing which also compliment their features and face shape.
At home I love spending time with my family, and being creative with colour!
