About Carla

COMBINING THE CLINICAL WITH COMFORT.

As a youngster, Carla was always fascinated by the intricacies of the eye, much like the Illuminati, apparently. While other children were playing in the streets and just being kids, we imagine that Carla was out there with her binoculars checking out iris pattern similarities and pupil dilation rates among her friends. This is purely imagined though, it may have been very different. Stick with us. Carla would fabricate endless stories of imagined eye problems, to her unsuspecting mum, who obligingly dragged her tiny frame off to the optometrist for a check-up every time, catching no drift of foul play.

This, of course, excited Carla to no end, as this meant another opportunity for her to investigate everything resembling a machine or lens or whatever optometrists use thingies. Yes, at that age that is a little weird, since none of us can relate on any level. Needless to say, this was passion as clear as it can get, so she finished school (or so she claims) and enrolled at the University of Johannesburg. She found the degree course very stimulating (obviously) and challenging (yeah, right), and showed particular affection towards specialties such as pediatric optometry, contact lenses, and low vision (no kidding!).

In her final study year, Carla won the prestigious “Student of the Year” award, which takes into account all aspects of the student’s life at the university, like academic performance, involvement, social standing, quality of party tricks etc.

However, her being the actual reincarnate of the Good Samaritan, the part of her studies she enjoyed the most was the part called “Phelophepa”, which entailed train surfing into long forgotten parts of the country to test the eyes of up to 30 people a day, people who have no access to this kind of expertise.

Carla has been actively involved in optometry ever since graduation, in private practices from Nelspruit to who-knows-where to Middelburg, where she currently finds herself.

It is said that she can see right into your soul, that she sings like Stevie Wonder to find a cure for blindness, that she, in fact, spotted the Titanic’s iceberg hours before impact (this may have been in the movie though), and that she has built in night-vision and drives at night without headlights just to scare old people.

All ‘round, Carla is an optometric magician, and is capable of applying some clever trickery to wage a high tech war against whatever is costing you your 20/20 vision.

 

"Giving people sight and making people look good and feel good is very satisfying."
