Hi everyone, it’s Candeece here from The JHB Eye Lady! 👋
Let’s be honest – winter in Johannesburg sounds cosy until the dry air kicks in, and suddenly your eyes feel scratchy, sore, and tired.
If you’ve been wondering, “Why are my eyes so dry this winter?” — you are definitely not alone.
So, Why Do Our Eyes Freak Out in Winter?
It’s all about that dry Highveld air. In winter, the humidity drops, and without enough moisture in the air, our eyes dry out faster than a Woolies chicken left in the oven too long.
Indoor heaters and windy days don’t help either.
Signs you’re dealing with winter dry eye:
✔ Scratchy feeling
✔ Burning or stinging
✔ Redness
✔ Blurry vision after a long day
✔ Feeling like something’s in your eye
5 Easy Ways to Help Your Eyes This Winter:
- Use lubricating eye drops (NOT just redness relievers)
- Stay hydrated – yes, even when it’s freezing
- Blink more consciously, especially on screens
- Use a humidifier at home or work
- Take regular breaks from heaters and aircons
Should You See an Optometrist?
YES — because sometimes dry eyes can be a symptom of something deeper, like Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or early signs of other eye issues.
We can do a comprehensive dry eye assessment and recommend the right treatment.
🌟 Don’t just survive winter—see clearly through it!

Sure! Here’s a well-written Google review for your optometrist:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had a fantastic experience with The JHB Eye Lady! Candeece was thorough and professional during my consultation and helped me find the perfect new glasses. She also did an excellent job with my 11-year-old and 8-year-old, explaining everything to them in a way they could understand and making them feel comfortable throughout the process. I truly appreciate her patience and expertise. She is pleasure to chat while she works and takes a personal interest in all her clients from big to small. Highly recommend!Let me know if you’d like to add anything specific!
What a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone is so courteous and professional. Candeece really knows her trade. I feel like I got more than I should have. I highly recommend going here. Alwyn
Worst ever. Been wearing specs since I was 8. 52 now and this is the first time someone gets it wrong
Thank you Candeece and the Jhb Eye Lady team for the excellent and prompt service. Easy to make appointments and such a beautiful setting.
I can see again. Colours are brighter, the world is better. Candeece recommended multifocals and I was apprehensive because they haven’t worked in the past but her pair was perfect from putting them on the first time. I couldnt recommend enough!
I am blessed to have Candeece testing me for so many years. I recently had an appointment at the Sundowner practice. Firstly it was fabulous seeing you, but secondly, what you have created is incredible, tasteful and stylish. Your brand is HUGE and I wish you so much success. Your memory about my history is phenomenal and your manner is both professional and comfortable. May each and every client continue to rave about your service. Thank you so much
Moved from Mellins to The JHB Eye Lady, so happy I did! Got my new glasses today and they are perfect. Ordered them with my contacts on friday morning and they were ready on Monday. They have such funky frames in stock as well! Amazing service as well. Very happy
What an amazing experience at The JHB Eye Lady. So very informative and received my glasses within a week. Lovely fun selection of frames to choose from! Candeece is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
What an amazing experience as a whole- the service, the product and the visual esthetic. I could wonder around for hours deciding on my new frames as there was a massive selection (and a bonus sale 😉) My son had his first eye test and it was such a smooth and fun process. I would definitely recommend The JHB Eye Lady, Candeece and her team for all your eye needs.
If you live in Johannesburg, this is the optometrist you need to see! Candeece has set up a beautiful, tranquil practise in the heart of Sundowner, Johannesburg. Not only will you have your eyes tested but you will experience the beautiful space that Candeece has created. She is a true visionary – pun intended!I recently dropped my glasses and the frame chipped. I spoke to Candeece about it and she checked whether they were still under warranty and immediately ensured that they were replaced by the manufacturer free of charge. During the process one of the arms came loose and both were also replaced. The level of customer service at The Joburg Eye Lady is next level. The frame selection is stunning and vast and you know you are getting the best quality in eyewear!
Just got my pair of glasses from The JHB Eye Lady. Candeece was friendly, very professional, and super helpful when it came to choosing my frames. Glasses arrive quickly. Definitely booking the rest of the family for their eye tests and glasses. I highly recommend her practice.
The environment is so calm and comfortable. You feel at ease and are treated with kindness and understanding. The examination itself hadn’t felt pressurized or rushed in any way. Definitely would recommend to all ages:)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY GLASSES!! I honestly really really do recommend going to The Jhb Eye lady!!
Excellent service, my daughter was very happy after spending almost an hour with the Jhb Eye Lady😊Very thorough eye test and the frame option is vast, my daughter managed to find a very beautiful frame as she was allowed to take her time to try on each frame she liked and she found her perfect one.
Going to The JHB Eye Lady was an absolute pleasure. The offices and exam rooms are beautiful and inviting with a huge array of frames to choose from. Candeece is incredibly knowledgeable and had picked up on a few things before I’d even mentioned them, like the fact that I have an incredibly small and nose and had already taken that into consideration when choosing my frames. She also helped guide me with choosing between single or multi focal lenses, explaining all the pros and cons. I don’t want to go to another optometrist ever again 😁
When you first arrive you are greeted by this colourful, vibrant aesthetic that just draws you in. Candeece is a professional, you can tell she knows her stuff. I love that she made sure I was 100% happy she kept checking and rechecking that I had the most accurate results on my eye test. After the test she helped me choose my frames. I got a call like 3/4 days later for collection. My glasses are super cute and suits my face but importantly my prescription is just right. When I went to collect my glasses Amulda was lovely and helped me choose a free chain for my glasses. I left happy and impressed with their service. Keep it up ladies
I recently had my first appointment with Candeece,and i couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment i arrived, she welcomed me warmly and made sure i felt comfortable. She was attentive to my every need, answering all my questions with patience and care. I truly appreciate the time and effort she put into making sure i received the best possible treatment . If you are looking for a professional,compassionate,and thorough optometrist. I highly recommend Candeece!🤩
It is always a great experience visiting The JHB Eye Lady. I’ve been going to Candeece for three years, and I will follow her wherever she goes. Excellent service, from making the appointment to collecting your frames. You will also find the biggest variety of frames and sunnies at this amazing practice. I highly recommend The JHB Eye Lady for your next optometrist appointment. I promise you, you won’t regret it! Thank you, Candeece and Amulda.
I had such a wonderful experience with The JHB Eye Lady. Candeece is so lovely and is really passionate about what she does especially caring for one’s vision as well as eye health. Making an appointment was effortless, my eye test was also quick, easy and done professionally. Candeece also took the time to help me choose frames. Once I had selected my frames, I was very impressed that it was ready within one week. I love my glasses and what an absolutely beautiful space. I would highly recommend that you book your next eye test / Optometrist appointment with The JHB Eye Lady! x
