About us

Optinova Africa PVT Ltd was formed in 2012 as the Directors noted that there was a gap in the optometry field mainly due to the fact that at the time Zimbabwe did not have any schools of optometry and provision of optometry services was not affordable to the population of Zimbabwe. Optinova sought to provide optometry quality eye care services at affordable prices. It was vital that the nation had healthy vision to enable people to work effectively, study, drive and play amongst other activities.

The company since its formation is one of the leading optometry providers in Zimbabwe. There are branches in Harare, Chitungwiza and Ngezi. Optinova has highly trained and qualified Optometrists and staff who primarily give vision care which ranges from sight testing and correction of the diagnosis, treatment and management of vision changes as well as lenses and contact lenses. The company provides glasses and eyewear to a whole spectrum of the Zimbabwe population. Optinova caters for designer and affordable frames at competitive prices. In 2015 the company introduced its own frame brand – SG Eyewear.

Optinova Africa Pvt Ltd also has an outreach programme to ensure that remote areas of Zimbabwe are covered.

Optinova Africa’s ultimate goal is to go beyond Zimbabwe’s border and have a strong presence in Africa.

Since there is no training in Zimbabwe for optometrists, Optinova Africa (Pvt) Ltd has spearheaded and entered into a Private / Public Partnership with Bindura University of Science Education which is in Bindura, Zimbabwe. The School of Optometry was opened in 2018. This is an exciting development not only for Optinova Africa (Pvt) Ltd and Bindura University of Science Education but for the nation of Zimbabwe.

Optinova Africa Pvt Ltd also has an outreach programme to ensure that remote areas of Zimbabwe are covered.

INITIATIVES WE SUPPORT

Cataract Free Africa

Cataract Free Africa ®

Cataract Free Africa ® is the first initiative that we are extremely passionate about. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 39 million people worldwide are blind and cataracts remain the leading cause of blindness in low and middle incomes countries. Senile cataract is a non-preventable disease of aging, having its biggest impact in the over-60 age group. As Cataract Free Africa ® , we have made it our priority to ensure that Africa is cataract free. Our elderly play an integral role in society and removing cataracts is our way of giving back to members of our communities who have contributed both selflessly and immeasurably to many. Over the last xx years, we have performed 15,000 successful >cataract removal procedures across Zimbabwe for men and women between the ages of 60 – 90. With the undeniable success of our model in Zimbabwe, we will be scaling our work and efforts to ensure the continent is cataract free by 2030 with the support of strategic partners in each zone and region.

Friends with Albinism

Launched in October 2017 by Zimplats, the Friends with Albinism Campaign’s objective is to demystify albinism and raise awareness and protect those who are living with albinism against discrimination and abuse in society. As part of our corporate social responsibility drive, we have donated over 200 branded sunglasses to men, women and children suffering from albinism at different roadshows and events around Zimbabwe with Zimplats. We pledge our support for this great initiative and believe that our donations and eye-tests will go a long way to assisting the unique needs of people suffering with albinism in Zimbabwe.
