Optometrist

In Kim’s family, glasses are part of the basic equipment: «We all have one. I also had one from a young age to correct my hyperopia.» But she didn’t just wear her glasses, she wanted to know how they worked. That interest carried through adulthood and eventually led her to study optometry. «That’s when I first became intensively involved with contact lenses – and they wouldn’t let me go.»
