Dr Victor Liu, OD

Victor was born and bred in Houston, Texas. Upon graduating from Texas Tech University he began his eyecare journey as an ophthalmic lab technician and optician in Houston. In 2014 he moved to Australia where he received his Doctorate of Optometry at the University of Melbourne in 2017. He also served as President of the University of Melbourne Optometry Students Society. Victor completed his clinical residency at the Ophthalmic Consultants of Connecticut and was selected to volunteer with Global Hand Charity’s outreach program in Sri Lanka. Victor is a therapeutically endorsed optometrist with certification in myopia management from the International Academy of Orthokeratology and Myopia Control. 

Victor was inspired to begin his career rurally in Warrnambool at Penry Routson Optometrists where he worked alongside their resident ophthalmologist. He has a keen interest in managing ocular health with clinical emphasis in anterior eye disease and specialty contact lenses.  In addition to providing optometric care, Victor is a proud girl dad, enjoys bouldering, smoking brisket & ribs, and is learning to play the saxophone. 

Dr Jeremy Oppedisano

Jeremy graduated with a Doctor of Optometry with First Class Honours from the Univeristy of Melbourne in 2020. During his time at university, Jeremy was fortunate enough to partake in an internship at Tilganga Hospital in Kathmandu where he worked alongside ophthalmologists to provide eye care to rural/remote Nepalese communities.

Jeremy has advanced competency in specialty contact lens fittings to treat and manage conditions such as keratoconus, corneal grafts, and myopia. He welcomes the challenge to design customised contact lenses to improve visual outcomes and ultimately quality of life for his patients. Jeremy is therapeutically endorsed and has full-scope clinical practice to diagnose and manage ocular pathology (including glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration). Jeremy has also participated in primary school screenings and has volunteer experience with special needs patients.

Outside of work, Jeremy has a keen interest in tennis, travel and culinary experiences. He also enjoys keeping up with the latest novels and TV shows.

Shinna Teh

Shinna was welcomed into the Eyetech family in May 2021. As a child, she was always interested in the amazing abilities of the eye. Driven to serve the public and  inspired by her aunt who was an Optometrist, she pursued Optometry in her home country of Malaysia, where she practiced for 8 years. After migrating to Australia, she wanted to continue to be in touch with what she knows and loves best - eye care.

She believes that every patient should be cared for, from the moment they step into the practice and well after they step out, and thus she strives to provide a comfortable and well informed environment for all, starting with a genuine heartfelt smile (even behind a mask or over the phone!). Shinna will be looking forward to meeting and guiding you through your journey in the practice as she takes you through your tests, tuitions, frame selection and anything you may require.

While away from the work scene, Shinna enjoys exploring the various variety of food and vast scenes that Victoria has to offer with her husband and son.
