Markus-Ochsenbien L&F Eyecare Optometrist

THERAPEUTIC OPTOMETRIST, BOptom Melb, FACO

I have been in the optometry field for 29 years. I developed a curiosity in low vision rehabilitation early on, and this led me to my passion for Children’s Vision and Behavioural Optometry. I enjoy being able to utilise my optometric skills to provide individuals with vision solutions customised for them. It is truly rewarding to be able to enhance someone’s quality of life, especially the younger ones.

THERAPEUTIC OPTOMETRIST, BScOptom FACO

My interest in health sciences and helping people led me to my career in optometry. Being able to enhance and protect our most precious sense of sight has been truly rewarding. I enjoy meeting our locals, understanding their visual needs and educating them on ocular conditions. I’ve been in the industry for 40 years and can honestly say it has been a privilege. In my spare time, I sail, play volleyball, ski cross-country and over indulge in coffee.

OPTOMETRIST, BOptom Melb, PGradCert (OcTher)

I wanted to take an allied health course at university and optometry was the most appealing. I’ve been a practicing optometrist for 12 years and it has been a truly rewarding experience to help enhance people’s vision and overall quality of life. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 kids and am actively involved in our local church. I also frequent the gym or spend time outdoors riding my mountain bike or dirt bike.

Judy Taylor

Judy-Smith-Optometrist-Warragul

OPTOMETRIST, BOptom, PGradCert (OcTher)

I wanted to be an optometrist as I loved Maths, Physics and problem solving at school. I also enjoyed meeting new people and helping people wherever I could, and optometry was a great combination of all of my interests. I’ve been a practicing optometrist for over 30 years and it has been one of my most rewarding achievements. I’ve been with L&F Eyecare for nearly 20 years! In my spare time, I enjoy sailing, cycling, gym and ballroom dancing.

Helen Medley


OPTOMETRIST, BOptom

I started at L&F Eyecare 15 years ago, and love the variety that country practice brings. I have  experienced working in city settings, having relocated to Melbourne some 7 years ago.

I enjoy having  a patient centred approach and the challenge of addressing a broad range of cases. I am passionate about improving and optimising the visual and eye health outcomes of my patients.

When not practicing optometry I am  a busy mum to Xavier & Renee. I enjoy keeping fit, running a weekly Mainly Music session at our local church and baking.

OPTOMETRIST, BSc OD Melb⁠⁠

Optometry is a joy because it combines my interest in health sciences and passion for helping people. I love getting to know patients and the interesting eye conditions that come in with them. It is a privilege to help provide patient-centred care and find solutions to best suit their needs. In my spare time I enjoy time with family and friends, watching movies, being a foodie and travelling overseas.

I’ve always had an interest in family optometry, I love learning more about people and their stories. I enjoy Optometry because it allows me to make a real difference in peoples lives and families. Outside of Optometry I enjoy reformer pilates, reading and hiking, Mt Dandenong thousand steps is one of my favourite hikes! I have enjoyed joining the L&F Eyecare team, who have been so supportive and friendly.
