Hello from Sunny Queensland
By: BrendanHi everybody, my name is Brendan Philp and for the past 4 years I have had the pleasure of being the optometry manager for the spectacular team at OPSM Carindale in sunny Brisbane. You’ll be hearing from me over the next month as I let you into my exciting world as an optometrist.
The Greeks gave us the word “Optometry” derived from the words “optos”, meaning eye or vision, and “metria”, meaning measurement. I know what you’re thinking, “boorrring!” And in fact when people think of optometrists I’m sure they still imagine a 60 year old person in a lab coat sitting in front of a dusty box of lenses desperately trying to count to ‘3’ but can never seem to get past ‘2’. Well I’m glad to announce that this just isn’t so!
What I enjoy most about working for Luxottica is that each and every day provides many new opportunities to build great and lasting relationships. For around 30 minutes patients let me into their lives and allow me to see life’s visual challenges from their point of view. They then place their trust in me to provide them with the best possible solutions for their individual needs, whether it be glasses, contact lenses or something else all together. When I see a patient’s face light up it gives me great satisfaction as I know that I have impacted and made a real difference to their life.
Working for Luxottica has also allowed me to travel and work in many parts of our great country from Canberra to Cairns. I can’t wait to see where it will take me next! (only joking my beautiful team at Carindale!)
Talk to you all soon,
Brendan.
