See Your World
Our dynamic full scope Optometry Practice provides the very best in eye care technologies and customer care.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
We provide a range of eye examinations. Having your eyes tested regularly can also result in early detection of a serious health risk. Our aim is to make clear and comfortable vision a reality for all our patients based on each patient’s needs.
Visual Acuity Tests
This test is used to measure the sharpness and clarity of your vision. Both near and distance vision is tested using eye charts and different lenses. We can determine how to improve your vision based on the results.
Frame Selection and Assistance
Frames are more than just corrective eyewear; they become part of your daily appearance. Our team are here to help choose the perfect frame to meet your needs and preferences.
Contact Lens Consultation
Starting with an eye health assessment, we can determine if you are able to wear Contact Lenses. Once you are cleared, you are fitted, and the required types of lenses are discussed to determine the best option for your lifestyle.
Frame and Spectacle Adjustments and Repairs
From time to time you may want your frames adjusted or repaired. Our skilled optician can adjust the bridge, nose pads and temples to ensure the proper fit for your face.
Frame Sales
We have a wide range or frames from a variety of brands to choose from. These frames can be fitted with lenses to meet all your needs such as, indoor use, outdoor use, reading, driving and more.
Glaucoma Testing
Protect your vision from damage caused by glaucoma with regular, complete eye tests. A Comprehensive Glaucoma Exam includes the testing of 5 factors before making a diagnosis.
Skippers Licence Screening
Policy dictates that all candidates for the Skippers (Coastal and Offshore) are required to pass the prescribed SAMS tests carried out at a specific SAMSA office. All candidates attempting the examinations can provide an eye test certificate issued by us, a member of the Health Professionals Council of South Africa.
Drivers Licence Screening
Save time at the Traffic Department and let us do your Drivers Licence Screening. You will need to bring a valid Identification Document (ID) along with you. Your screening will be done in co-operation with the National Department of Transport regulations to ensure acceptance.

“Dr. Graham, Gloria and Karla are wonderful. Friendly, yet professional and extremely informative. I agonized over the decision for the frames. They let me take them home to help solidify my decision. No optometrist has ever given me that option. Dr Graham took great care and time in explaining the eye exam. Very impressive. Would thoroughly recommend Kenton Optometry! I feel as though I’ve made new friends.”
