About Us
Who Needs a Mission When You Have a Vision?
Our vision is to be your number one choice for all your eyecare and eyewear needs.
A Vision That Began in 2011
Are you one of “those” people who are always looking for the best solution, constantly striving for excellence, propelled by passion? Well, we are “those” people too. So we devised a customer-focused, service-orientated, one-stop eye health approach.
- Professional Eyecare
- Customer-First Service
- Frames & Sunglasses
- Contact Lenses
- Personal Advice
- Eyewear Choices
- Eye Health Focus
- Community Care
Vision Works was built on a passion for providing an inclusive optometric offering that covers all aspects of eye health, and for putting our customers first.
Incredible Service in the Blink of an Eye!
You’ve probably heard this a lot before – “the customer is always right” – but for us, it’s all about the customer always, right now!
This is a value we uphold when it comes to service and customer satisfaction. Our “right now” begs the question – why should you wait for excellent service, a great pair of frames or for an optometrist’s appointment? The answer is, “not on our watch! We’ve got your back!”
We Love What We Do So You Can Too!
We use our well-known hashtag #LOVEYOUREYES because we love what we do and we want to help you love your eyes by doing all the right things. So why not give your eyes the respect they deserve by visiting Vision Works for a comprehensive eye health experience?
More of What You Want
Henry Ford once said of his Model T cars, “A customer can have a car painted any colour he wants, so long as it’s black.”
Today, people want choices, and Vision Works offers choices galore – from a terrific selection of frames, sunglasses and accessories to a wide variety of contact lenses and, of course, professional eyecare, innovation and advice. We see you!
Our Initiatives
We not only care about your eyes – we’re also committed to improving the lives of people in the communities we serve.

School Screenings & Career Exhibition
Team Vision Works Cosmo (Dr Eckson M Mabasa, Mr Phillip and Mr B Nagdee) had the privilege of conducting vision screenings at two incredible schools in Cosmo City.
Telford Primary School
Team Cosmo screened 19 learners from Grades 1–4 and were thrilled to report that all had good vision with no abnormalities!
Blue Eagle High School
Team Cosmo organised an optometry career exhibition for Grade 12 learners, covering the history of optometry, training, career opportunities and the pros and cons of the profession. They also screened the students, with permission to continue screenings from July to August 2024.
In this low-income community, many students who needed glasses were unaware of the costs involved. We’re reaching out to our contacts to help provide assistance and will work with Hoya to offer spectacles at low or no cost.
A special moment was when Dr Mabasa met a young learner without school shoes. After promising him support, Dr Mabasa was overjoyed to provide him with a new pair! His happiness was priceless. Thank you for your ongoing support in making a difference!
