MEET THE OPTOMETRIST
Hey, I'm Jan!
I am a registered Ortho-K practitioner and have successfully corrected myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia (age-related near vision changes) in patients for more than 30 years.
I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate of Advanced Study in Ocular Disease and Treatment, as well as postgraduate studies in Paediatric Eye Care. In addition, I have attended specialized courses on ADHD and ADD to better understand the visual needs of children.
Together with my friendly, well-trained staff, I strive to bring a new level of clinical care and customer service to every patient who walks through our doors.

1. How often should I get an eye examination?
We recommend annual /yearly examinations especially in children and the elderly. Routine two yearly check ups are recommended for adults with good health. If you experience vision changes or discomfort, schedule an appointment immediately.
2. What are the signs that I need new glasses or contacts?
If you experience frequent headaches, eye strain, blurry vision, or difficulty seeing , it might be time for a new prescription. A comprehensive eye exam will determine the best solution for your needs.
3. Can I wear contact lenses?
Most patients are suitable for contact lens wear. A comprehensive examination will determine if the vision and ocular health can be corrected and treated with contact lenses.
4. Can prolonged screen time damage my eyesight?
Excessive screen time can cause digital eye strain, leading to dryness, fatigue, and blurred vision. To reduce discomfort, follow the 20-20-20 rule—every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
5. What are the benefits of wearing blue light-blocking glasses?
Blue light-blocking glasses can help reduce eye strain, improve sleep quality, and minimize glare from digital screens. They are especially useful for individuals who spend long hours using computers.
6. How can I protect my eyes from long-term damage?
To maintain healthy vision, wear UV-protective sunglasses, eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins, stay hydrated, avoid smoking, and schedule regular eye examinations to detect issues early.
