A Personal Message from Elaine Lucas

After decades of caring for your eyes and sharing in so many of your life journeys, it’s time for me to begin a new chapter. The decision to retire wasn’t easy, but it feels like the right moment to hand over the reins while ensuring you continue to receive the expert care you deserve.

​

I’ve had the privilege of supporting patients with complex eye conditions, some of you for over twenty years. I’ve watched children grow up, couples start families, and countless stories unfold, each one special to me. Thank you for letting me be part of those moments.

​

A Seamless Transition to Burnett Hodd & Tam

To make this transition smooth, I’ve merged my practice with Burnett Hodd & Tam (BHT), located at 7 Devonshire Street. This team shares my commitment to clinical excellence and compassionate care.

​

You’ll be in safe hands with them:

​

• Their optometrists have all worked in hospital environments and bring experience with complex contact lens fittings.

• They stay at the forefront of optical care, using the latest diagnostic technologies.

• My colleague Mr. Connan Tam is doubly qualified in Orthoptics and Optometry, like myself, and leads the Dry Eye Centre housed in the same building.

​

Whether you need ongoing Contact lenses supplied, support for an existing condition or are exploring new treatment options, BHT will provide thoughtful, personalised care.

​

Continuing Your Eye Care

I encourage you to visit www.bhtoptometry.com to learn more about the team. Their site includes practitioner profiles and practice details. You’ll also find information about an optional annual diagnostic subscription covering OCT scans, fundus photography, and visual fields which you’re welcome to discuss during your next appointment.

​

With Gratitude

I want you to know how much I’ve valued every moment spent with you. It’s been an honour to look after your eye health, and I leave with total confidence in the care you’ll receive going forward.
