OUR OPTOMETRIST
Shirley Chee is a qualified and experienced optometrist, bringing more than 25 years’
industry experience to the practice. After starting her career working for corporate optical brands, Shirley made the happy transition to running her own practice, where she could offer the special continuity of care that Ringwood Optical is famous for.
MAKING A
VISIBLE DIFFERENCE
That dedication and desire to give back lead Shirley to volunteer her optometry skills on a life-changing trip to Cambodia and Thailand in 2019 with the Restore One Charity. It was an experience that helped shape her resolve to make a difference in the lives of her patients.
Leading a team of 3rd year Melbourne University optometry students and other volunteers, Shirley provided visual screenings for 500 children in a rural school and village near the Cam Thom Province of Cambodia, and an independently-run orphanage in Thailand.
The team also taught the children English, built a decking and verandah, and cleaned and painted buildings – and through appropriate prescription spectacles, they were able to give the children their very own glasses to assist them with their lives, transforming their ability to read, write and learn.
