About us
Established in 2005, Stellenbosch Optometrists has been committed to serving the local community with exceptional eye care services for almost 20 years. Founded with a vision to make optical correction accessible and affordable to all, we pride ourselves on building a relationship with our patients.
What sets us apart is our dedication to providing prompt service. With an onsite laboratory, we can craft prescription glasses quickly and efficiently, eliminating the wait time often associated with obtaining new eyewear. Additionally, we boast one of the largest stock holdings in the Cape Winelands area, ensuring that our patients have access to a diverse range of eyewear options to suit their individual needs and preferences.

PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES:
Photochromic lenses are spectacle lenses that are clear indoors and darken automatically when exposed to sunlight. The molecules responsible for causing them to darken are activated by the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Because UV rays penetrate clouds, photochromic lenses will darken on overcast days as well as sunny days.
Photochromic lenses typically will not darken inside a vehicle because your windshield blocks most UV rays. They are ideal for people spending a lot of their day outdoors, because they will lighten indoors and you therefore only need one pair of spectacles.
POLARISED LENSES:
Polarized sunglasses lenses have a special filter that blocks intense reflected light from the sun, reducing glare and discomfort. At Stellenbosch Optometrist we have polarised lenses in all of our sunglasses ranges with Maui Jim being the most popular choice.
Glare washes out colours, obscures details, and fatigues your eyes. Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2® lenses eliminate 99.9% of glare, allowing you to see the world at its brilliant best. Featuring the industry's most advanced production techniques, their patented processes create an amazing difference you'll see immediately.
CONTACT LENSES:
Not so fond of spectacles? Contact lenses are a great alternative. With so many varieties to choose from, nearly everyone can wear them. Daily disposable lenses make wearing contacts a breeze — wear them once and throw them away.
Other options include soft contact lenses, lenses for overnight wear, and special-effect contact lenses. At Stellenbosch Optometrist we will advise you on the best contact lenses for your lifestyle and visual needs.
