Teenager eyeing up family optometry tradition

Alex and Sarah’s younger daughter Katie has achieved the grades she needs to study Optometry at Cardiff University in September. Following in the footsteps of both her parents and older sister Emma (who graduated in Optometry from Cardiff in 2020), Katie will begin her course in the autumn.

Katie has been working at the Woodseats practice during lockdown and more recently at Crosspool. Of the opportunity to work in the family practice, Katie said: “It’s been really interesting and has absolutely confirmed my desire to study optometry.”
