Committee Member

Ali Ganiwalla (BSc GradDip Optom)

I’m an Optometrist Partner at two large community Specsavers practices based in Great Yarmouth and Gorleston.
I have a wide range of experience in Routine sight tests, Contact lenses, CUES/MECS, Glaucoma referral refinement, Community OHT monitoring, Cataract post ops, Colorimetry, and Myopia management.
I also enjoy hospital based optometry, primarily with Newmedica, offering Glaucoma and Cataract assessment/post op services.

As a member of the LOC, I hope to be a useful part of a team that furthers the role of Optometrists in our area and also helps raise awareness of the importance of Optometry as a profession to both the public and other primary and secondary care providers.
