My name is Russell Ham, I am a registered Dispensing Optician with the General Optical Council (registration number D-13407).

I qualified as a Dispensing Optician in 2010 and then went on to train as a Low Vision Optician for the Low Vision Service Wales and completed this in 2015.

In May 2023, after 18 years working for a large multiple practice, and then almost 2 years working for an independent practice I took the big step of setting up on my own as South Wales Low Vision Clinic.

As a Low Vision Optician I specialise in helping people who’s vision is not able to be fully corrected with glasses, or contact lenses.

I have also be fortunate enough to be recognised for my work with my vision impaired patients. In 2017 I was awarded the title of Optician of the Year from the Macular Society and also a 5 Star Award from Wales Council for the Blind.

I have also been fortunate enough to be recognised as a finalist and runner up in awards from the South Wales Argus and Optician Magazine

Nicola Is my wife and office manager. She has worked in healthcare for over 20 years and uses this experience to help ensure the clinics run smoothly.
