“Being featured in an optometry magazine is a lovely milestone for me," said Noor.

We caught up with optometrist Noor Sher after our latest edition landed to hear what being featured on the cover meant to her.

She also told us that: “Balancing my work as a hospital optometrist, running my own independent opticians and taking on a portfolio of different roles has been a journey I’m proud of. It’s nice to have that journey recognised and to reflect on the opportunities, experiences and people that have shaped my career so far.”

In our latest edition, Noor discusses her varied roles, including working as an IP optometrist at Whipps Cross Hospital and running her practice Iris Eye Care, and explains how developing a portfolio career has enhanced her professional satisfaction.

Thank you to Noor for sharing her experience and insights.

We caught up with Zahir-Ally Kanji, optometrist and owner of James Bryan Opticians and Aves Optometrists, both Hakim Group independent practices, on balancing business ownership and family life.

He shared with us how "on a clinical morning, I follow Nigel Risner’s advice: 'When you’re in the room, be in the room.' That means giving my full attention to the person in front of me – whether that is a patient or a member of the team who needs support."

"It’s not everyone's cup of tea, to be providing a domiciliary service. Many optometrists think it is very challenging, which it is. But I embrace those challenges, and I find ways around things," says optometrist and owner of McClintock Home Eyecare, Amanda Nasser.

We spoke to her about the misconceptions and overwhelming benefits that come with providing domiciliary eye care.
