“Alex was there every step of the way and brought my vision further than I could have imagined!”
Josh MargolisFounder of DAF
I have not always been an Optometrist. Following a first degree at Exeter University in Biological Sciences I spent an extremely fulfilling and fun 10 years as a sensory analyst for the world’s largest drinks company. If you like the taste of Malibu, Baileys or Smirnoff Black, it may have been down to me! However good it was, I desired a career where I could use my skills to enhance the lives of individual people. Back to studying for 4 years – this time at City University, with my wife Helen supporting me.
Optometry has allowed me the immense satisfaction of helping people, of all ages, maximize their visual ability. Each day brings a wonderful balance of clinical challenges, and fascinating patients, be they young or old.
It has also opened up the chance to help those who cannot help themselves through the charity Vision Aid Overseas. I derive enormous joy from my annual trips to Africa (see my African eye care page), and enjoy giving educational talks.
Having started life as an Essex boy I have long since been won over by the beauty (and hills!) of Hampshire. With two grown up children, life is full and energetic and I still find time to pursue my love of photography.
