Home Eyewear
Frames chosen for comfort, clarity and conscious design.
A frame only works if you forget you're wearing it. We'd rather you tried them on, had the fit checked, and left with something that sits properly.
Frames
Choosing and fitting
Picking a frame is part looks, part measurement. The bridge has to sit on your nose without pinching, the arms have to reach your ears without pressing, and the lens has to be deep enough for your prescription, especially for varifocals.
We'll narrow the wall down to the frames that actually suit your face and your script, then adjust whichever one you choose so it sits level and stays put. That adjustment is part of the job, and you're welcome back whenever it works loose.
Brands we stock

Lenses
What goes in the frame
The lens matters more than the frame for how well you see. We'll talk through the options that are worth it for your prescription and your day, and leave out the ones that aren't.
Prescription sunglasses
For a Cape Town summer
UV exposure is cumulative and the damage doesn't announce itself. It shows up decades later as cataract and macular change. Prescription sunglasses mean you're not choosing between seeing properly and protecting your eyes.
Tints, polarisation and wrap frames for driving, water and sport can all be fitted to your script.
Contact lenses
Daily, monthly, specialised
We work with the major suppliers, so most prescriptions can be fitted in a daily or a monthly lens. Specialised lenses are available where a standard soft lens won't do the job.
- Daily disposables, with nothing to clean and nothing to store
- Monthly lenses, better value for regular wear
- Toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal lenses for reading
- Specialised fits where the eye's shape needs them
First-time wearers get taught how to insert, remove and look after them before they leave with a pair, and a follow-up check to make sure the eye is happy.

In stock at the practice
Eye drops for dryness, irritation and digital eye strain, plus cleaning and storage solution for contact lens wearers. Stocking them here means we can recommend what suits your eyes rather than leaving you to guess in a pharmacy aisle. It also saves a second trip.
Repairs & adjustments
Bring them in
Nose pads, screws, hinges, bent arms, frames that have gone crooked in a bag. Most of it is a quick fix while you wait, and it's the difference between glasses you wear and glasses that live in the car.
Needs Kim's input before launch

- Which of these ranges are the eco or recycled-material ones, for the sustainability section on the Meet Kim page
- Lens suppliers and any coatings worth naming
- Price ranges, or at least a "frames from" figure
- Contact lens brands fitted, and whether there's a subscription or repeat order
- Photographs of the real frame wall and the dispensing area. Every image on this page is stock from the brand deck
- Whether sunglasses and lens care are claimable on medical aid
Try frames on with your prescription in hand.
