Janice Schaffer qualified in 1979 and has been in practice ever since.
In 1984, together with her husband Irwin, they opened up 36 stores over a period of 5 years called Frames Unlimited and adjoining or close by she had 36 practices called Vision Centre.
These stores were either sold or changed names over a period of time.
In 1995 Janice joined Sales House and opened “30” stores within the Sales House stores all over the country.
At present Janice has 3 stores, Vision Centre Southgate, Vision Centre Florida and an upmarket new store La Moda.
Janice enjoys all aspects of optometry, diagnoses and treatment of all visual errors, and the fashion side of optics. She is also the frame buyer for their wholesale optical business.
Janice says that the most rewarding aspect of her job is when she corrects a young adult’s vision for the first time. The genuine happiness on their face when they can now distinguish the colours and shapes of the trees and flowers, as well as facial recognition and smaller details in their daily lives, is what gives her the most joy!
