Our team
Ryan O’Connor BOptom BSc – Optometrist
Growing up in the depths of the south in Invercargill, optometry has been a dream since I was 12, The idea of giving people the gift of sight and helping prevent the deterioration of sight are real motivating factors. I have a specific interest in Children's Vision, Sports Vision, Dry Eye and Myopia control.
Outside of Optometry, I am a real sports nut, and love the challenge of pushing my body to the max for the team.
My interest in hunting stems from the extreme challenge of you against nature, whilst having the companionship of hunting partners and the ability to get out in the wilderness. I have a keen interest in the Deer industry. I hope to one day own my own deer farm, exploring sustainable and regenerative practices.
