Young Optometrists

Providing a voice & supporting students and Optometrists in the first 10 years of the profession.

Welcome to YO: Young Optometrists NSW/ACT

We look forward to and enjoy working within a profession that is based on patient care and interaction with people. To ensure clinical and professional growth we feel that it is important we interact with our colleagues on both an intellectual and social level. Hence YO – an organisation that focuses on improving the networking and social opportunities fo

r young optometrists. The YO Executive:

Chair: Dr. Wilson Luu
Secretaries: Dr. Megan Tu & Dr. Celine Zhang
Treasurer: Dr. Benjamin Kwan
Education Officer: Dr. Jack Gordon
Publications & Social Media Officer: Dr. Sheila Lam
ACT Liaison Officers: Dr. Jacqueline Henwood & Dr. Rose Huang

YO want you to jump on board with YO projects and events too. We are hoping this will bring new grads out of the isolation of the consulting room and facilitate the discussion and camaraderie that so quickly dwindles after graduation. Sign up today at http://bit.ly/2cWkaKd

🚨 YO WEBINAR 🚨
REGISTER VIA ZOOM
WEDNESDAY 24th June
7.15pm- 9.30pm

Not sure when to refer, where to send patients, or who to call? Join us for an interactive session with consultant ophthalmologists and senior ophthalmology registrars from Sydney Eye Hospital covering vitreoretinal, paediatric and adult ophthalmic emergencies.

This session will provide practical guidance on referral urgency, appropriate referral destinations, and interim patient management while awaiting specialist review. Learn how to navigate NSW public ophthalmology referral pathways, communicate effectively with on-call ophthalmology teams, and determine whether patients should be referred to the Emergency Department or an outpatient ophthalmology service.
