A team that is service and quality driven.
Van der Walt Optometrists is an individual optometric practice owned by registered optometrist Truter van der Walt. The practice itself has a long and successful history in Bloemfontein being in existence for the better part of 30 years, albeit trading under the name of the previous owner, Trevor Skinner. In November 2009 Trevor Skinner immigrated to New Zealand and Truter van der Walt took over the reigns of the practice. September 2013 saw the revamp of the practice and also the name change to Van der Walt Optometrists.
Truter van der Walt graduated from the University of the Free State in 2006. He obtained his degree with distinction and graduated top of his class. Postgraduate he obtained a diploma in Sportsvision from the Universtity of Johannesburg in 2010. Other than optometry his big passion is staying fit, living healthy and pushing himself to new boundaries, therefore his love for the outdoors and outdoor adventures!
In the practice he is assisted by Aldi Nicolaisen at the front desk. Aldi has been in the optometry industry for the last 25 years. Always prepared to walk the extra mile and medical aids … she knows them inside out!
The person responsible for the always shiny, neat and tidy office and the best coffee in Bloemfontein is Lizzy Nyokong. Lizzy has been working in the practice since 2006 and her biggest blessing in life is her little girl named Hlompho.
