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!
