It is with sadness that we say goodbye to Aidan very shortly, as he has made exciting plans to move to Australia in April with his partner Georgie. Aidan has been an integral part of the Bay Eye team since joining us in 2023. Many of you will be patients of Aidan, and I am sure you will agree his professionalism, personality and expertise will be missed.
All the best across the ditch Aidan, we hope to see you back in Tauranga one day!
Ongoing Care for Aidan's patients
Of course patients of Aidan's will continue to be well-looked after here in the clinic. Principal Optometrist Mr Alex Petty has a wealth of experience in handling the specialty areas of eye care that Aidan has developed under Alex's mentorship.
Alex is generally available in clinic on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, although will be more available over the next 6 weeks for most weekdays.
We are also excited to announce that optometrist Ms Mariam Baissy will be joining the Bay Eye Care team in May. Mariam is a very friendly and intelligent clinician with experience in managing ocular disease, dry eye problems and contact lenses. Mariam is NZ-trained at the University of Auckland (Bachelor of Optometry with first-class honours) and has been recently practicing on the Kapiti Coast. She thrilled to join the team and make Tauranga her new home. Welcome Mariam!
Mariam will be available for appointments 5 days a week from the 11th May 2026 onwards. These can be arranged by calling Gracie at reception 07-5716644, emailing us on info@bayeyecare.co.nz, or by booking online.
