For the past 40 years we have been honoured to serve the eyecare needs of so many patients at the John Mountford Optometrist Practice in Queen Street, Brisbane.
This notice is to let you know that on June 30th we will be closing the doors in Queen Street.

I will be retiring from full time practice at this time. We are relocating the day to day Optometry practice to Clarity Optometrists at Bulimba and I will be joining Clarity Optometrists on a part time basis going forward. They will hold your health records for your ongoing care.

As it is my intention to step away from full time practice, I would like to ensure that you continue to receive the best of care and to introduce you to the great team at Clarity Optometrists led by Dr Ann Webber.

It has been a pleasure being part of the lives of so many patients over the years and I feel confident in introducing you to Ann, who I have known for more than 30 years, and her team. You should feel comfortable in contacting Ann and her team for any of your ongoing needs.

Clarity is a full scope Optometry practice that has been serving the people of Brisbane since 1991 and their Optometrists are very experienced in contact lens prescribing, fitting and care including the fitting of complex children’s contact lenses for the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital.

Please take the time to look at the Clarity Optometrists website to get an idea of the Optometrists that work there and the expertise and experience that they possess. The Optometrists at the practice are:

Dr Ann Webber | PhD MS BAppSc(Optom)(Hons) FAAO Grad Cert Oc Ther

Irma Sator | BApp Sc (Optom) (Hons) Grad Cert Oc Ther

Of course, both Clarity Optometrists and I recognise that who you choose as a health care provider is a personal decision and whilst Ann and her team would be delighted to welcome you in the future, we have not presumed that your personal information and health records should simply be transferred to them.
You have a number of options:
