Clinical Leadership

Terence Hammond – Registered Therapeutic Optometrist

Terence Hammond established Hammond Optometry to provide a deeper level of clinical evaluation that simply cannot coexist within highly commercialised corporate retail spaces. Believing that local families deserve meticulous medical attention rather than a rushed vision screening, Terence brought his specialized training in ocular therapeutics, binocular vision assessments, and paediatric optometry directly to Shelly Beach. He is passionate about diagnosing and treating complex medical eye conditions, ocular trauma, and irregular corneal shapes locally, eliminating the need for South Coast residents to travel to major cities for advanced optical care.
