As part of our ongoing program of vocational visits from local business owners Rotarian Frank Flowers arranged for Marcus Bland from Mt Eliza Optical to speak at our Club.
Marcus, who has been operating in Mt Eliza for the last 36 years, spoke about his early training including in Oxford Street London before coming to Mt Eliza in the 1980s.
Clearly passionate about his work, Marcus spoke of the many challenges and successes of running a local business.
He also presented a short video about new eye technology called Shaw Lens which offer people with each eye having a separate issue, a way of merging the image to improve sight.
Marcus operates the Mt Eliza business in conjunction with his daughter who is well known to rotarians through her service at Toorak College.
We will have a series of Vocational Speakers at our meeting on 3 March.
