The optometrist, Lehandrè, pays so much attention to the causes of the eye sight problems. She sends an email to explain the conditions of your eye site and why she is recommending certain lenses. I stay very far from Brooklyn, but I still use her services gladly.
She helped my daughter in correcting her prescription which caused her headaches from another optometrist. My daughter has not experienced those headaches ever since her new prescription. 🙏🏽

At The Family Optometrist, we offer all services related to your vision and ocular health.
Our goals are to provide you with excellent medical eye care, eye test, customized lenses for all your visual needs, quality frames and sunglasses without breaking your bank.
Lehandre is very professional and explains everything very clearly.
She also had a look at my daughter age 3 eyes, and the experience was so great that my little one did not want to leave.
Would highly recommend her to anyone…

Excellent service!!!
When we moved to Pretoria, I got a referral from my previous optometrist and I can see why. Lehandré does a thorough eye examination and Shane always welcomes you with a warm smile.

What a friendly service I received. I got a detailed and clear explanation of my eye health.
My glasses had broken into half and the Doc and team made sure I get a backup set in the meantime whilst I wait for my glasses. I am really happy …I can work and don’t have to strain my eyes whilst I wait for my glasses. As if that was not enough I got lucky on the lucky draw currently running and for a lekker discount off my frames
I am beyond words really.
Shout out to Shane for helping me pick up a new frame.

I had the most amazing experience at The Family Optometrist. The kindness, patience and explanations were so appreciated. Time was taken to ensure I was comfortable and I left so happy with my glasses frame decision. I’ve never had such friendly service before! Thank you Lehandré and Shane.

Always look forward to my yearly visits. Today was no different😊. My Uber guy trolled me for driving all the way from Kyalami to see the Dr. Let him on the secret that the service is impeccable, and you do become a family. He will surely be visiting soon too.
Be sure to check them out, I won’t guarantee you ever deciding otherwise…. You’ll definitely stay.
And always, shout to Shane for helping me pick up a new frame. It’s become our ritual and I’ve noticed we getting good at this🙌🏻🙌🏻
