Karlene White is the Practice Owner and at Midland Options Optometrists.
After many years working as a qualified Optical Dispenser for the large corporate chains, working in both the retail and wholesale sectors, Karlene became frustrated with the ever increasing gap in the industry to provide quality lenses and solutions to patients. It was this gap that has driven Karlene to open her own practice in Midland Gate Shopping Centre.
Starting out as a trainee optical dispenser in an express fitting lab with on sight grinding facilities, she gained valuable hands on experience in all areas of manufacturing and dispensing. This on the job experience was backed up by the theoretical knowledge learnt during her 2 years of study to become qualified.
Karlene has now been practicing as a Qualified Dispenser for 17 Years and really enjoys working with her customers to ensure they are educated about the choices they make when purchasing their new glasses.
Previous to opening Midland Karlene was the State Manager for the largest lens Manufacturing Company (ESSILOR Pty Ltd) based in Maylands. With the support of a local lab and access to extensive support for her customers, she believes that she and her team can deliver a quality product with a shorter turnaround time than their competitors.
