Weck & Danner Optometrists – Eye Care in Vredenburg Since 1967
Since 1967
Vredenburg's Trusted Name in Eye Care
For more than half a century, Weck & Danner has been the name Vredenburg families turn to for their eyes. What started as a small local practice has grown alongside the town itself, but the approach has never changed. Every patient gets a proper, unhurried consultation, not a rushed once-over.
We've since brought in modern diagnostic equipment and an expanded range of lenses and frames, but the reason people keep coming back is simple. We take the time to actually understand what your eyes need, and we stand behind the advice we give.
It's why generations of local families still call Weck & Danner their optometrist.

What We Do
Complete Eye Care Under One Roof
From routine eye exams to licence screenings, every service starts with the same thorough, unhurried approach.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Regular eye tests do more than update your prescription. They can catch serious health problems early. Your exam can include retinal photography (a photo of the back of your eye) and tonometry, which detects abnormal eye pressure. Every exam is tailored to your needs, so you leave seeing clearly and comfortably.
Glaucoma Testing
Protect your vision from glaucoma damage with regular complete eye tests. Our comprehensive glaucoma exam checks five factors before any diagnosis is made.
Contact Lens Consultation
It starts with an eye health assessment to confirm you can wear contact lenses. Once you're cleared, we fit you and talk through the lens options that suit your lifestyle.
Paediatric Services
Eye tests for young children, matched to their age: image perception, colour vision, vision-related learning difficulties, coordination, eye muscle control and focusing.
Drivers Licence Screening
Save time at the Traffic Department and let us do your screening. Bring a valid ID. The screening follows National Department of Transport requirements, so it's accepted.
Skippers Licence Screening
Coastal and Offshore skipper candidates must pass the prescribed SAMSA tests at a SAMSA office. We can issue the eye test certificate you'll need, as a registered health professional.
