ABOUT

The Heath and Wentzel story began back in 1957 – yes 63 years ago! 
William (Bill) Heath opened a practice in Central Pretoria. A vibrant and successful practice developed. 
In 1979 his son Colin joined the practice and in 1980 a branch was established at Glenfair Lynnwood Manor. 

From January 1986 Colin moved fulltime to Glenfair. From the beginning the emphasis was on family vision care and by working with the Optometric extension program in the USA, behavioral vision was introduced as standard practice. 
This recognizes that “function alters structure”. A flourishing family practice ensued. 
In 1994 Marthi Wentzel joined Colin to further enhance and expand the Child Vision care emphasis of the practice.

Our goal of comprehensive, affordable family vision care is still where we strive in the individual care to our patients – our vision family! 
By 2008 we found it expedient to open a new branch at Hazeldean, Silver Lakes. 
Colin’s son, Michael, joined the practice from January 2013 and so 3rd generation vision care values continue! 
And now in April 2019 we established the flagship practice in Friesland Lane, Lynnwood (Opposite Menlo Park Highschool). 

Now with Colin, Marthi, Michael and associate optometrist Carla we cover all aspects of modern everyday vision care: 

• General Optometry
• All forms of contact lens care 
• Pediatric optometry 
• Child and adolescent care 
• Young adult and fashion care
• Early and late ageing vision care 
• Also vision therapy with our inhouse vision occupational therapist, Maretha Bekker. 

We really do FOCUS VISION CARE ON THE FAMILY! 
We invite you, our family patient, not to settle for 2020 sight, but to be helped and enhanced with vision care which promotes 2020 vision! 
We look forward to helping YOU in due course. 
Kind Regards 
Colin, Marthi and Michael.
