Dr Megan Cole

MBChB (WITS), DO, FCS (SA) Ophth

Dr Cole brings a compassionate, community-focused approach to eye care, with a particular interest in ocular medical conditions and Botox therapy.
 
Beyond her work at The Eye Centre, she is deeply committed to serving the broader community, serving as principal consultant ophthalmologist at Helderberg Hospital in Somerset West. This position reflects both her clinical expertise and her dedication to making quality eye care accessible to all.
 

Each month, Dr Cole performs approximately 25 cataract operations as a service to patients in the community, restoring sight and independence to those who might not otherwise have access to this care. She also oversees the day-to-day running of the hospital's eye clinic, ensuring patients receive consistent, well-coordinated treatment from diagnosis through recovery.
 

Her work across both private practice and community healthcare settings gives Dr Cole a well-rounded perspective on the full spectrum of ocular health - from routine eye care to more complex medical and cosmetic concerns.
