About us
KNIP VIR MY OOG
A little bit of history...
After 15 years of providing patients with quality eye care, the PG Optics Centurion team retired.
Amelia and Gisela, sisters and both passionate optometrists, immediately jumped at this golden opportunity. Having always dreamt of owning an Optometry practice together, KnipOog Optometrist was born.
KnipOog Optometrist is all about personal, yet professional, eye care. We aim to provide each patient with a pleasant eye care experience and excellent service with a personal touch. We are a family orientated practice (literally!) and take great pride in serving every one of any age.
