About

The Oculus is an independent optometry studio where clinical excellence meets couture design. With locations in De Waterkant, Cape Town and Plettenberg Bay, we believe great eyewear begins with thorough care — and ends with the perfect frame.

Our in-house optometrists use the most advanced diagnostic technology available, delivering precision eye examinations, bespoke lens design, and specialist contact lens fitting — including progressive lenses, occupational designs, orthokeratology, and sport-specific solutions. Every consultation is one-on-one, unhurried, and tailored entirely to you.


We curate frames from the world's most inventive independent ateliers — Anne et Valentin (Toulouse), Eyevan 7285 (Sabae), Mykita (Berlin), Matsuda (Tokyo), Kuboraum (Berlin), Rolf (Tirol), Lapima (Brazil), LGR, Barton Perreira, Grey Ant, and more — many exclusive to The Oculus in South Africa.


This is where optics meet artistry. This is the art of the gaze.
