Book with Eyelines Optometrists - Kingston

I’m an experienced optometrist with over 30 years in practice, originally qualifying in South Africa in 1996. Since then, I’ve worked in the UK and now in Australia, and I’m currently completing my Therapeutic qualification to expand the care I can offer. I’m passionate about providing thorough, personalised eye care and helping people see clearly and comfortably—whether that’s through managing eye health or finding the perfect pair of glasses. Outside the clinic, I love spending time outdoors and relaxing around a fire with my family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and helping you take care of your eyes.
