Strand Eye Care has been under new ownership since December 2022. The friendly faces of Edith and Helene are still here to greet you!
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive vision care to patients so they can care for their eyes and access tools to support their eyesight, from conducting eye examinations, identifying signs of disease or injury, and prescribing corrective lenses, including contact lenses.
We offer comprehensive eye examinations and aim to leave you with not only clear, but comfortable vision.
Our focus is to not only on the present, but also on your future. This is why we look at your general and eye health – aiming to diagnose and manage eye conditions as early as possible.
Strand Eyecare has been under new ownership since December 2022, headed by Heinrich and Caro Wobbe. Both obtained their B. Optom degree from the University of the Free State and worked in South Africa and Seychelles for several years.
In 2020 they completed their postgraduate (MC Optom) in the United Kingdom and since then have been members of the College of Optometrists (UK).
Early detection is the key to early treatment. Visual symptoms are an unreliable indicator of the presence of eye problems, therefore screenings are important to prevent any affect on your vision.
Photo-screening is the gold standard, and the most cost-effective way of screening for diabetic retinopathy.
How it works:
With current cameras it is no longer necessary to dilate the pupil. Screening takes less than 10 minutes after which the patient can carry on with their daily activities.
Coupling the screening with either Artificial Intelligence or human review, provides an immediate report on the need, or not, of escalating to a more comprehensive evaluation.
