Kylie Mcneill

Clinical Optometrist & Advanced Contact Lens Practitioner Kylie is our principal optometrist, she graduated as an Optometrist from QUT in 2009 with first class honours and was the recipient of the Optometry Australia Clinical Excellence Award in her final year. She is a therapeutically endorsed as well as CASA credentialed optometrist. Kylie is a supervising optometrist and lecturer at QUT in contact lens studies, and enjoys sharing her enthusiasm and clinical insights in optometry as an invited speaker at local and national professional optometry events. She has undertaken an observership within the contact lens service at the esteemed Moorfields Eye Hospital in London and was inducted as a Fellow of the British Contact Lens Association in 2016. Kylie is a state committee member for the CCLSA and is a paediatric aligned optometrist with the Queensland Children’s Hospital. Kylie enjoys practicing full scope optometry but has an interest and advanced skill set in complex contact lens fitting for keratoconus, corneal transplants, myopia control including orthokeratology, as well as for therapeutic cases such as severe dry eye and post-operative eye complications. She regularly accepts referrals and works collaboratively with local Brisbane optometrists and ophthalmologists to design custom contact lens solutions for their patients. Whilst Kylie may be highly credentialed as an optometrist, it is her compassionate nature, thorough and meticulous manner, as well as the genuine care and time she takes to clearly explain examination results that make her so highly regarded by our patients.
