In August 2017 Dwayne completed professional development courses through the Nottingham Trent University in the United Kingdom, tutored by renown Ocularist John Pacey-Lowrie.
As there is no official qualification or training in Australasia for the design and manufacturing of bespoke artificial eyes and Cosmetic/Scleral shells, Dwayne felt that this was the best way to get the knowledge and skills needed to open his own practice. Dwayne then completed a further one month intensive training experience, immersed in John Pacey-Lowrie’s private clinic.
While in the UK, an Ocularist video series was filmed featuring Dwayne and an episode can be viewed here for more insight.
