Willy Gunawan graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2009 as one of the first few optometrists to do so with automatic endorsement to prescribe S4 drugs to treat eye disease.  As part of his study Will attended Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago; since then he has maintained contact with his American colleagues to keep abreast with the latest in the diagnosis and treatment of many eye conditions.

Will also has served as a member of the panel responsible for updating competency standards for the Australian optometric profession.  He loves his work both in rural settings and especially at Collins Street Optometrists; although Will enjoys all aspects of optometry, he has particular interests in dry eye disease, contact lenses and orthokeratology.  When away from clinical practice Will is a keen road cyclist, enjoying regular escapes to Victoria’s high country ranges.  Will is fluent in Indonesian and really broken mandarin (lessons impending).
