Our practice is an independent practice wholly owned by optometrists and has been providing eyecare to the local community since 1957

Wolf Gartner established the Ringwood practice first and in 1961 he started a visiting practice in Croydon.

The partnership with Ross Harris formed soon after. Terry Blake joined the practice in 1969 and the Croydon practice moved to its current location in Main Street in 1978. With the retirement of Wolf Gartner, Brett Parsons became a partner in 1990.

Linda Feng, who is therapeutically qualified, commenced working with us in 2006 and is a partner after the retirement of Ross Harris in 2008. Mei Ling Ong who worked with us while studying has now become an associate optometrist in 2010.
