Description:
Personal health has over the last decade become a growing concern worldwide. This has resulted in a boom in all related industries. As with other areas the optical industry has enjoyed the same growth. People have become more aware of damaging factors such as harmful sunlight or computer rays, as well as general eyesight deterioration. Aside from these health aspects eyewear is also no longer only worn as an orthotic but rather as a fashion accessory. Currently there are more than 2800 registered optometrists in South Africa.
The number of optometrists has almost doubled in the last six years, and today the South African optical industry is a R500 million industry per year, with that number growing rapidly. CustomEyeZ is a proudly South African based optical wholesaler and these optometrists are our clientele. The owner Jacques Roux has more than 6 years experience in this industry, and with a popular local brand, as well as successful international brands, the status of this company can be contributed to the unique products, tailor made sales packages and unequalled customer service.
