About Us






Since 2008, Art of Sight has served the communities of Craighall Park, Rosebank, and Sandton not just as a practice, but as a studio for visual excellence. Our seasoned team delivers a technologically advanced, highly precise, and exceedingly thorough eye care experience—where the science of optics meets the intentionality of design.
Our commitment to your sight extends beyond our practice walls. In recognition of Eye Care Awareness Month, our lead optometrist, Mahen Kannigan, was invited to the eNCA studios to discuss the evolving landscape of modern optometry. From the digital eyestrain of the modern professional to the critical role of advanced diagnostics, Mahen remains a dedicated advocate for the health and clarity of our community’s most vital sense.
We are often asked about our name. To us, there is a profound art to proper eye care. It lives in the delicate balance of achieving clinical accuracy and physical comfort, but it also flourishes in the aesthetic beauty of the frames you choose. We believe your vision is a masterpiece, and every work of art deserves a great frame. Our practice manager, Veliswa Ntledi, brings years of seasoned expertise and an intuitive eye to our frame gallery. Known for her ability to find "the one" among hundreds, she ensures that every person leaves not only with crystal-clear vision, but with a frame that feels like a natural extension of their personality.
As an artist himself, Mahen views every consultation almost as a creative collaboration. We base every exam specifically on the individual needs of our patients, ensuring you feel as comfortable and inspired as possible.
Our Mantra
We firmly believe that long after people forget what you did, and what you said, they will remember how you made them feel. That is why our guiding principle is a simple, relentless question:
What is one more thing we can do for you?





Our Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Comprehensive exams are essential for evaluating vision, monitoring overall eye health and early detection of potential issues. Typically, eye diseases in their early stages are largely asymptomatic, so having a professional examine your eyes is incredibly helpful in preventing permanent damage. Not only do we detect, diagnose and prevent vision-threatening eye conditions, during our eye exams we're also able to identify general health concerns.
Contact Lens Exams
Contact lens technology continues to evolve. At Art of Sight we offer our patients personalised, in-depth service to find the best solution for their contact lens needs, whether it is a single use contact lens, monthly use lenses or even if you haven't worn lenses before and would like to try them out.
Prescription Scuba Diving Masks
Clear vision is important for more than just enjoying a dive. Not being able to see your gauges or find your way back to the dive boat if separated from the group can be hazardous. Dive masks typically come with glass lenses due to its unique scratch resistance and optical clarity. When adding a script to the lenses, special refractive material is laminated onto the glass of the mask. These laminated lenses are installed in our lab, can be applied to any dive mask and can correct for any prescription, including prism lenses for divers suffering from double vision. They're also thoroughly pressure tested and come with a gaurantee. Custom dive mask lenses are produced in your exact prescription and can correct even very large refractive errors caused by nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, ensuring the highest visual acuity underwater.
Pediatric Eye Care
Little eyes need big attention! We provide specialised eye care for children including comprehensive exams and myopia management. Our youngest of patients are always a priority and we make it as fun as possible.
Drivers Certificates
We provide you with the official Driver's Licence eye test report that is required by the traffic department.
