Our Optometrists have over 100 years collective experience. All of our Optometrists are members of the Optometrists Association of Australia and are committed to ongoing professional education. We believe that continuity of seeing the same optometrist each time you visit Harris, Blake & Parsons plays a significant role in ensuring professional and personal eye care.
