Geelong Eye HealthAbout Dr Leigh Plowman
Optometrist, dry-eye educator, and someone who lives with dry eyes himself.
Dr Leigh Plowman
Dr Leigh Plowman believes that dry eyes shouldn't affect people's quality of life, or stop them doing what they love.
Leigh has been looking into people's eyes for the last 20 years, taking a holistic approach to eye health. His process is empathetic, detailed and thorough.
Leigh studied Optometry at the University of Melbourne and completed a clinical placement at the Illinois College of Optometry. He is also a Clinical Residential Placement Host for Deakin University optometry students in Geelong.

"Leigh has dry eyes himself, so he knows exactly what it feels like."
Leigh has significant experience and a strong clinical interest in dry eye. He contributed to Optometry Australia's inaugural Dry Eye Guide, writes regularly for industry publications such as Mivision and Insight, and speaks around Australia. You can also explore Leigh's eye-health articles and patient guides.
That commitment to careful dry-eye assessment is exactly what you benefit from as a patient: clear explanations, genuine empathy, and treatments tailored to you.
