Optometrist · Bachelor of Optometry (University of the Free State, RSA)
I have a special interest in understanding how people use their eyes in their everyday lives, particularly at work. Whether you spend your day working on multiple computer screens, using a tablet or performing tasks that require you to focus at different distances, I enjoy finding the right spectacle solutions to make your vision as comfortable and efficient as possible.
I am also passionate about workplace eye safety and regularly conduct workplace assessments to help businesses and employees find suitable protective eyewear for their specific working environments, including industrial and mining settings.
I particularly enjoy the art of spectacle dispensing and helping patients find the perfect pair of glasses. Finding a frame that looks good, fits comfortably and works with your prescription is not always straightforward. I enjoy helping patients with unique facial features, difficult frame fits or more complex prescriptions find eyewear that meets both their visual needs and personal style.
Another area of interest is binocular vision – how our two eyes work together. I enjoy helping patients who experience difficulties with eye coordination, focusing or double vision, particularly when these challenges begin to affect everyday activities.
