Local optometrist Eliza Whiteley celebrated her first year in business with a launch event at The Exchange Orana, Dubbo, recently.

Around 60 people attended the event where special guests provided a colour analysis and introduced a new Spanish eyewear brand.

Based in Dubbo and originally from Geurie, Eliza holds a Master of Optometry, Ocular Therapeutic Endorsement, and an Advanced Certificate in Children’s Vision. She has worked closely with local ophthalmologist Dr Liu, and has a particular interest in preventative eye health and managing chronic eye conditions.

"I’m a Geurie gal, and just like Geurie is a village town, the village surrounding Whiteley Optometry is what makes everything we do possible," Eliza told those gathered.

"There are already some incredible people serving Dubbo, and so when you see us, we want your experience to feel different. You spend more time with me than anyone else – so I can really get to know you," she added.

Whiteley Optometry is based in Bultje Street, Dubbo.
