Because it genuinely cares, a popular east Auckland optometrist business is changing its name to reflect that integrity and sincerity.
Visique Botany Optometrists, located in the business park on Bishop Dunn Place at Flat Bush, has unveiled its new name – iCare Botany Optometrists.
The focus of the new title “is on the word care”, as owner-optometrist David Lee and dispensing optician Tanny Chin tell the Times in reaffirming how they feel about their clients’ and customers’ eyesight health.
iCare Botany Optometrists also places great emphasis on the highest quality service and professionalism when it comes to tending to their clients’ sight requirements, including just the right fitting glass frames and exact-focussed lenses.
Although the well-established business has changed its name, Lee says: “Nothing has changed. We will still be delivering the same excellent professional service and products under the same ownership.”
Chin says iCare Botany Optometrists is offering a special 50 per cent discount on premium eyeglass lenses until December 23.
Its range of premium lenses are extra thing, light and strong for comfort, with an anti-reflection coating.
Lee and Chin say the business is also specialists in identifying treatments for cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry-eye conditions.
It’s an expert in dry-eye cases and Chin says every patient is examined for it, because if it impacts them prescriptions for glasses can become inaccurate.
iCare Botany Optometrists also prides itself on being a very good value-for money proposition for its clients, especially east Auckland families who have children requiring glasses.
Chin says it does many examinations for young ones, as it has a high priority for myopia control – short-sightedness.
“We try and control the eyes, so they don’t get worse over the years.”
She says there are treatments that can manage myopia control for children.
“We have Ortho K lenses, eye drops which we use to control the eyes, special lenses, and red-light therapy, for which we’re the only dispensing optometrists in the Botany area that has this.”
As the festive season and end of year draws nearer, the team at iCare Optometrists Botany wishes its loyal clients and customers and prospective new ones a very happy summer holiday.
It closes for a well-earned break on December 24 and opens its doors again for business on January 6, 2026.
