DIRECTOR & OPTOMETRIST

I am Sallyanne Morrison, the Director and Principal Optometrist of Morrison's Family Eye Care Centre. After gaining my Bachelor of Optometry degree from the University of NSW with Honours, I worked for a few years in a Paediatric Eye Clinic in Perth, WA. Being born, bred and educated in Dubbo, the lure to return to NSW and be closer to my family was too great. I started Morrison's Family Eye Care here in Dubbo in 1992, and have been providing quality eye care to the region ever since.

My professional interests include prescribing and problem solving issues associated with contact lens wear. I also really enjoy behavioural optometry, as well as treating and assessing children's vision problems.

I have also completed my Post Graduate Diploma in Ocular Therapeutics. This course allows me to not only diagnose, but to treat anterior eye conditions such as conjunctivitis, removal of foreign bodies and objects from eyes, corneal ulcers and in-growing eye lashes.

Outside of work, I am a bit of a crazy cat lady! I love spending some quiet time with my family around our home, and shepherding my children to their various activities. They keep me grounded and young at heart.

OPTOMETRIST

I’m a therapeutically endorsed Optometrist who graduated from Deakin University in Geelong with a Master of Optometry and a Bachelor of Vision Science. Before becoming an Optometrist, I worked as an orthoptist alongside a range of ophthalmologists in Melbourne, which gave me valuable experience and insight into advanced eye care.

Moving from Melbourne has been a huge change, but I’m excited to explore regional NSW and bring my skills to new communities. I’m passionate about getting to know people and providing the best, tailored care to each of my patients. It’s my mission to ensure that when you leave my chair, you have a better understanding of your eye health.

Outside of work, I enjoy long drives and playing badminton.”

OPTOMETRIST

Building strong connections with my patients and providing comprehensive and personalised care is at the heart of what I do.

As a therapeutically endorsed optometrist with a Bachelor of Vision Science and Master of Optometry from Deakin University, my journey began with a Bachelor of Health Science and Master of Orthoptics from La Trobe University. My diverse experience includes working as an orthoptist at Vision Australia and at various ophthalmology practices and gaining valuable experience as an optical dispenser.

In 2022, I expanded my knowledge and skills by pursuing optometry, driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference in my community. I take pride in ensuring my patients not only receive the best care but also leave feeling reassured and informed about their eye health.

Born and raised in Melbourne, I’m passionate about bringing quality eye care to regional areas. My commitment to this cause has taken me as far as India, where I had the rewarding experience of conducting vision screenings at rural schools.

Outside of work, I’m an amateur cake baker, cat and coffee lover, traveler, and gym-goer.

I enjoy all areas in optometry and look forward to being your go-to person for all your eye health care needs!

OPTOMETRIST

My name is Arveen. I am a therapeutically endorsed clinical optometrist. I started my career working in Moree, NSW as an optometrist after gaining my qualifications from the University of New South Wales (Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Clinical Optometry) in 2021. My qualifications allow me to prescribe medical eyedrops to treat ocular conditions such as conjunctivitis, dry eyes and glaucoma.

During my time in Moree, I have gained valuable experience in eyecare working alongside optometrists and ophthalmologists to provide the much-needed service in the community. This experience has propelled me to pursue a career in Dubbo and continue providing eyecare to rural communities.

My hard work and dedication to the community was recognised in 2021 by receiving the MiVision Prize award and in 2022, the inaugural Dr Con Moshegov Scholarship presented by the Royal Australian and New Zealand Colleague of Ophthalmologists. I have specific interests in complex ocular disease diagnosis and management, children’s vision and contact lenses.

I am looking forward to meeting you all at Morrison’s Family Eyecare Centre to address all your eyecare needs.

In my spare time, I like to cook and go for trail walks. You might also see me running and playing tennis.

Hi! My name is Calvin and I am the new graduate optometrist here at Morrison’s Family Eyecare Centre. I am a therapeutically endorsed clinical optometrist who graduated from UNSW with a Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Clinical Optometry. I am originally from Sydney and decided to leave the bustling city lifestyle to provide my services to rural communities.

I strive to provide quality eyecare and raise awareness about eye health in the community. I have developed an interest in ocular disease management and children’s eye health. I am excited to meet you all at Morrison’s Family Eyecare Centre and hopefully you can leave my consulting room learning at least one thing about your eyes.

In my free time, you will likely find me either gaming or at a badminton court. I also enjoy travelling to new countries and discovering new foods to try. I’ll see you all around!
