An optometry practice at Gezina Galleries, on the corner of Nico Smith and Frederika Street. Part of health services in Gezina. Everything below is what the practice publishes about itself.
Before anything else
An eye emergency is not an optometry appointment
Sudden loss of vision, a chemical splash in the eye, a penetrating injury or severe eye pain need emergency care rather than a booking. Do not wait for opening hours.

What is not published here
No product range, price, frame brand or lens option appears on this page. The store publishes none of it in a form that could be dated, and stock in an optical practice changes constantly.
Whether the practice is in your medical aid network is not stated on its own pages, so this site does not claim it either way. Ask the store, and ask your scheme.

Two different numbers, two different sets of hours
The store’s own line is (012) 335 7878. The 0860 766 930 number is national customer service, which the brand publishes as open Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 17:00 and Friday 08:00 to 16:30. They are not interchangeable, and third-party listings routinely give the national number as though it reached this branch.
A note on the postal code for this address
The store publishes its address with 0031. Gezina Galleries, the centre it trades in, publishes the same building with 0001, and the South African Post Office gives Gezina’s street code as 0084 with 0031 as the box code.
Three codes for one building. Each is quoted here as its own source publishes it. For an ordinary Gezina street address, 0084 is the street code.

When and How to Use the Service
An optometrist is the right starting point for some eye problems and the wrong one for others.
- 1Routine sight testing and eyewearThis is what an optometry practice is for. Booking ahead is sensible, particularly for a Saturday morning.
- 2An emergency goes to emergency careSudden vision loss, injury, or chemicals in the eye. Call 107 rather than waiting for the practice to open.
- 3Optometrist and ophthalmologist are different professionsWhich one you need depends on the problem. Optometrist Gezina covers the distinction.
- 4Saturday closes at 13:00And there is no Sunday or public-holiday trading, so a weekend visit needs planning.
- 5Phone the store, not the national lineOnly the store can tell you about its own appointments and waiting times.
- 6Check your scheme before you bookNetwork membership is not published, so confirm it with both the practice and your medical aid.

Costs, Referrals or Medical-Aid Notes
No price, consultation fee or medical-aid rate appears on this page. The practice publishes none, schemes negotiate their own rates, and both change. A figure taken from anywhere else would look authoritative and be wrong for most readers who acted on it.
Nothing on this page is a quote, an offer or a statement that any cost will be covered. Confirm both the fee and the cover before an appointment rather than afterwards.
