Everybody has the right to sight

Welcome to The Visionary Optometrist

The Visionary was founded by Anriette Bester in 2007 in the Heatherpark centre in George. The goal of the practice has always been to offer something for everyone, from our pensioners that receive specs at much reduced rates, to our discerning market looking for something different. The practice prides itself in taking advantage of the latest modern technology to be able to capture images of the fundus, measure intra-ocular pressures, plot topographical maps of the cornea and offer therapy for children with visual and learning difficulties. We are also a therapeutic practice and able to perform dilated examinations, cycloplegic refraction and anesthetized foreign body removals. The Visionary prides itself paying forward into the community. We have worked closely with impoverished communities and also regularly perceptual analysis for our local schools.

Client Testimonials

I’m a spectacles (and later contact lens) wearer since childhood, so for more than 20 years. The Visionary was truly the best optical experience I’ve had. Excellent service, they take time with you and treat you with loving care, have affordable prices and they even make sure the specs fit you perfectly, help with the correct contact lens solution and for the first time in 20 years someone actually showed me how to properly clean my specs! I am truly impressed and highly recommend The Visionary and Anriette Bester.

Client Testimonials

As a teacher, I have always referred my pupils to Anriette Bester for help. She even picked up that one little boy could not see in the amsler grid and referred him. The Visionary has always been my first port of call to help me diagnose and remediate learning problems.
