The Kaleidovision team helped my daughter overcome many challenges. Their incentive system for kids is amazing and there is a good balance of fun involved too. I highly recommend an assessment if there is any question involving vision or spatial challenges.

I went in for a consultation and the receptionist was really kind and understanding. The ophthalmologist was very professional. The service provided was better than Muller and I'm grateful for that. Thank you for the help!

Both of my children completed 16 weeks of visual therapy at Kaleidovision, and the improvement has been remarkable. Their reading flow is much smoother, and they no longer lose their place while reading. Since finishing the course, both kids have also improved their English and Afrikaans marks at school. I highly recommend Kaleidovision — they've made such a difference for my children. The best part is that both kids genuinely enjoyed the therapy sessions too.

I was a tourist in Cape Town and had lost my long distance glasses, which I really needed since I was going on Safari. Kaleidoscope were really good. I ended up with the best prescription glasses I've had in years And it made my safari trip. very special. Thank you Werner and Athi for your attentive and exceptionally good service!!

Dr. Werne remains my preferred and truly the best optometrist. It was absolutely worth traveling from Europe to see him. He is a caring and attentive doctor, supported by an exceptional team; Athi and Xavier are both amazing. From day one, communication with Athi was wonderful; she was kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Thank you all for the outstanding service!

Werner is an excellent optometrist - very thorough in his examination and evaluation and provides his best advice and recommendation on treatment options and the associated costs and would highly recommend him. He fitted my scleral contact lens and this has made a huge improvement in my overall vision and eye comfort. I also found that the Soleko saline solution works well as a conditioning solution and reduces foggy vision that may arise when scleral lens are not properly cleaned.

10/10 - highly recommended. The consultation is incredibly thorough and picks up on things that other optometrists often miss. The staff are genuinely friendly, it’s always good experience. I happily drive out of my way just to go to Kaleidovision - the level of care is worth it.

Dear Xavier From Esa: I like to read out loud in class now. Before, I would hate it when she called my name. From Esa's parents: We just received Esa's term 4 report and I wanted to share some highlights of his results from Term 1 to Term 4, which shows the significant improvement since being part of the programme. Reading from 1 to 7 Afrikaans written comprehension from 1 to 5 Natural Science from 50% to 70% Overall aggregate from 59% to 68% All other subjects improved too. To be diagnosed at 12 years of age, made us think how much better his results would have been in previous years, if we knew about Kaleidovision. I know if that if it was not for the care and hard work put in on both sides, my son would not have seen (pardon the pun!) that he could do it! The convenience of Saturday morning therapy classes suited this busy family well as there was no rush during the week. Thank you so much for giving our son the confidence and the belief that he is capable of learning well and being enthusiastic about it. The Hanekers

My boys and I have been with Werner and the amazing team since their days in the Waterfront and have moved and grown with them. The in depth assessments we received had never been done before, and as a result, specific visual challenges were identified in both boys. Vision therapy was recommended and the transformation has been incredible. The therapists are fantastic, patient and accommodating. They ensured that the boys always felt comfortable. The progress is really noticeable. As a parent sitting in on the initial assessment pre therapy and then being able to witness entirely different responses thereafter has been amazing. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, and always go the extra mile. I highly recommend Kaleidovision.

We are truly grateful for the team at Kaleidovision. From the moment we walked in, Xavier welcomed us with kindness. Werner uncovered the visual issue my daughter had been struggling with for a while, and sweet Zulfa supported her with such patience and genuine care. My 9 year old daughter had difficulty reading and spelling. As a parent watching, it was worrying. But everything changed once she started vision therapy. Today, she reads at the level of an 11-year-old — with pride. And she passed to Grade 4… something that once felt out of reach. Kaleidovision gave her back her confidence. We will forever be thankful for this incredible practice and the extraordinary people who work there.

We found Werner after many misses with other optometrists and ophthalmologists, and following an incredibly thorough and detailed examination, we were able to find a way forward in treating my son's esotropia. Werner was engaging and caring, listened to all my questions and not only answered them, but went into greater detail to explain the reasons for the condition as well as the treatment thereof. Kaleidovision treats the patient as a WHOLE. Thank you Werner, Xavier, Zulfa and Aaminah.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and expertise of our optometrist, Werner Nefdt. Our daughter was diagnosed with alternating exotropia (eye misalignment), and from our very first visit, Werner took the time to explain everything clearly and create a plan that included specific eye exercises and glasses to help strengthen her eyes. He also suggested that we work with an occupational therapist to strengthen her core and neck, which complemented his treatment plan perfectly. At her follow-up appointment, we were thrilled to see improvement on all counts - her eyes are working together so much better, and she’s noticeably more confident and comfortable (as even her teacher has observed!). Thanks to Werner’s thoughtful approach and genuine care, our daughter has been able to avoid surgery altogether. His dedication, patience and professionalism have truly made all the difference. Highly recommend! Lara Green & Family

I have been to Kaleidovision a few times and with each visit always received the very best service. On my last query Xavier responded promptly to all my questions on WhatsApp and when I visited the store helped me choose the best frame for my existing lenses within a matter of minutes - than you so much Xavier !!!

I'm blown away by the thoroughness of the eye testing process at Kaleidovision! Werner is absolutely phenomenal in his profession , his expertise and care are truly impressive. Xavier's assistance and constant feedback added immense value to the experience, making me feel comfortable and informed throughout. For years, I struggled with vision issues that were overlooked by my previous optometrist. But Werner's meticulous approach uncovered the root causes. When I received my new specs, I was overwhelmed with emotion , the clarity and precision are life changing! I realized how much we take our sight for granted, and it's a wake up call to appreciate the gift of vision. I highly recommend Kaleidovision , their service is not a luxury, but a necessity. Every cent was worth it!

I did 8 weeks of vision therapy for BVD with Werner and Zulfa, and it made such a difference. Werner was professional and clear throughout, and Zulfa made every session engaging and supportive. The exercises and “homework” really helped, and I could feel the improvement and see the results week by week. Xavier and Tharwat were always friendly and welcoming, which made each visit something to look forward to. I was a bit sad when it all ended. I’m so grateful for the care I received from this amazing team. Also got a pair of new stylish spectacles with them. 😎 I recommend them to everyone:)

Absolutely amazing. I cannot believe that for the first time in 3 years I'm headache free. I had put it down to long Covid, but actually my eyes are all wonky. I have these clever reading glasses that help my eyes to converge. Fabulous. The eye therapy was working well but every time I have a long Covid relapse I go backwards because of inflammation but these glasses are amazing. And then the multifocals- those have made a huge difference. Incredible! No more crippling headaches by lunchtime. Thanks guys!!! I'm so flipping stoked!

Werner actually cares about his profession and more importantly his clients. The examination, to say the least, he is through, everything gets tested. He is gentle and brilliant with kids, he has endless patience. I cannot recommend him highly enough, stupidly I went to one of the big chains, the service was ok, my friend recommended Werner, I got tested and wondered why I went to others, he is a top, top guy and a top Optometrist. Don't waste your money elsewhere for 2nd class service.

Our experience at Kaleidovision was excellent. We have seen significant results in my son's vision from just one vision therapy program.
our technology
Virtual Reality (VR)
The key advantages of using VR in vision therapy include the ability to create customised, interactive environments, provide objective data on patient performance, and offer an engaging, immersive experience that can motivate patients to participate in their therapy actively.
Eye Tracking
Our optometrist in Claremont uses digital eye tracking technology, which enables us to objectively assess, target, and monitor oculomotor deficits that are affecting a patient’s visual function and quality of life.
Reading Difficulties Help in Cape Town |
Fix Poor Eye Movements for Confident Reading
Is your child in Cape Town struggling to keep up at school due to reading challenges? At Kaleidovision, we understand that issues like a slow reading rate, reversals or skipping words/lines, and poor comprehension are often rooted in underlying visual problems, not a lack of intelligence. These challenges are frequently caused by poor eye movements during reading (also known as ocular motility dysfunction), which prevents the eyes from tracking smoothly across a page. This visual stress can directly lead to difficulties with sustained attention, problems with visual concentration, and overall attention and focus issues. Our specialized optometric vision therapy programs are designed to diagnose and treat the root cause of these problems, strengthening the eye-brain connection to transform reading from a struggle into a success. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive visual assessment.
