Great work Brian and Jessie. The Brien Holden Foundation loves providing optometry services to Coonamble, Gilgandra and Dubbo as part of CTG Aboriginal Health family. Thank you for having us x

👁️🌍 It’s World Sight Day – and our CAHS Optometry Clinic is on today! 🌍👁️

What better way to mark World Sight Day than by looking after your vision?

We’re lucky to have Brian, our visiting optometrist from the Brien Holden Vision Institute, here today providing eye checks for our community at the CAHS clinic.

*This Optometry Clinic is fully booked*!

✅ Got blurry vision?
✅ Headaches or sore eyes?
✅ Living with diabetes or another chronic condition?

Give Jess or Sheena a call about making an optometry appointment when Brian is back next– getting your eyes checked is quick, easy, and could make a big difference.

Today the NSW BHF Aboriginal Vision team hosted a stall at the Sydney Eye Hospital for World Sight Day with Optometry Australia NSW/ACT Paula and Audrey. It was a huge success. Thank you SEHF for organising such a great event.
