Eddie Russell BSc Hons McOptom. Studied in Glasgow and qualified in 1996. He spent ten years with Dollond and Aitchison where he worked closely with the graduate programme and successfully supervised six graduate optometrists. He has a keen interest in staff development and education in optometry and is also a member of the British Contact Lens Association.
Scott Brown qualified as an Optometrist in 1995. He is in practice regularly and has been an integral member of the team for two years. Scott is a keen golfer.
Mary Docherty qualified as an optometrist in 1993. She has been an integral member of the practice for eight years where she works on a part-time basis. Mary has a special interest in the care of children.
Ian Murray is a qualified dispensing optician and contact lens practitioner and since joining the practice in 1995, has become probably the most “well-kent face” on the shop floor. He previously managed the Dundee branch of Dollond and Aitchison and specialises in the provision of contact lenses. Outside the practice he is a keen golfer.
Roderick Foster joined Norman Salmoni as a newly qualified dispensing optician in 1988 and since the retirement of Bill Suttie has taken over the mantle of chief glazer. He has proved to be a more than adequate replacement which allows many spectacles to be produced in-house.
Stacey Holden qualified as a dispensing optician in 2004. Her background was with Dollond and Aitchison where she most recently managed their St Andrews branch. Stacey is a people person and strives to provide excellence in customer service.
Alan Pattinson is our visiting Contact Lens specialist and is available by appointment. Alan has been visiting the practice for well over 20 years and has become a familiar face.
Together the reception staff provide the welcoming and knowledgeable face of Norman Salmoni Opticians. Sheila Macpherson is a receptionist who joined the practice in 2004 from a background in banking.
Anne Mackenzie also works in reception and joined in 1992 from the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Lisa Marshall is a former pupil of Perth High School joined us in 2007. She is currently in her 3rd year at Glasgow Caledonian University studying Optometry and will normally be in branch on Saturdays and University holidays.
