WCSM appoints new master

Optometrist Mike Harris has been made master at the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers (WCSM) and succeeded orthoptist Liz Tomlin, who became deputy master.

Harris would be supported by dispensing optician Fiona Anderson, who took on the role of upper warden, and optometrist David Baker who became renter warden.

Speaking at his first court luncheon, Harris said he had a long-term connection with WCSM and enjoyed every moment of being an optometrist.

‘My style has been to have a conversation with patients whilst meeting their visual and eye health needs. My message to the Livery today is have those conversations, engage, contribute and help me to deliver the Company’s strategic goals of supporting better vision for all and making sure that nobody is left behind by poor vision,’ he said.
