Spectacle Warehouse Willowbridge, Cape Town team member: Stephanie Venter Stephanie van Dyk 
OPTOMETRIST

Stephanie was born in Dordrecht, Eastern Cape, and completed her schooling at Aliwal North Primary and High Schools. She obtained her Optometry degree at the University of the Free State, and now resides in Durbanville, Western Cape. The seed was planted in grade 9 to become an Optometrist and one of many highlights in her career so far was to inspire an Ortho-Keratology patient at the age of 13 to pursue the same dream. 

Her journey with Spectacle Warehouse started in 2017. Stephanie has a passion for specialised contact lens fittings, including scleral contact lenses and ortho-keratology, myopia management and dry eye evaluation and treatment. ''Optometry is a beautiful industry to be part of and it remains exciting and stimulating as long as you don't lose your eagerness to learn. I met the most amazing people, from patients to colleagues and other professionals. My biggest aim is to share my passion and to treat each patient as an individual." 

When Stephanie is not at the practice, she enjoys hiking, body boarding, having a culinary experience and exploring new horizons.
