She joined Windermere Optometrists as a partner in 2000 for eight years and completed her certificate of Advanced Study in Ocular Disease and Diagnostic Pharmaceutical Application in 2002.
At the beginning of 2008, Solette returned to Johannesburg and started at the University of Johannesburg, supervising in the clinics and lecturing paediatric optometry to the third year students for three years. Solette has a passion for child eye care. She also practised at Clearwater Optometrists.
She moved to George earlier this year and is enjoying the challenge of having her own practice again.
"The stock at Eyeland Optometrists is as always hand-picked by me according to patients' requirements. There is something for every age group, from Hello Kitty to Vera Wang, Guess, Nine West, Ted Baker, Nike, Oakley, Ray-Ban and Stepper," said Solette.
The Oakley corner is still there with the latest Oakley stock. These sunglasses can also be done in prescription lenses with Oakley technology.
Practice Manager Zuanda Meiring, who has become well-known among established patients, is continuing at the practice.
Solette invites patients to come and experience excellence at Eyeland Optometrists in the Tommy Joubert Building (North), Courtenay Street. Contact them on 044 873 4888.
