Over sixty years of
eye care in Jamaica.
Generations of families have trusted us with their sight.
A practice built
on trust.
Avelen began in 1962 with a small practice in Halewood and a belief that looking after someone’s eyes starts with getting to know them.
As our community grew, so did we. Norbrook and Port Meade joined the family, bringing the same thoughtful approach to more people across Jamaica. Today, our specialists combine careful assessment with a warm welcome and clear, honest conversations.
Whether it is a child’s first visit, a fresh prescription or a frame that feels just right, we make time for the details that matter.
Our first practice opens in Halewood, built on personal attention.
A second chapter begins in Norbrook, welcoming more families.
Port Meade joins Avelen, bringing our care to a third community.
Three branches, one connected experience, and the same personal promise.
A legacy founded on care.
Our earliest practice was built around a straightforward promise: listen carefully, explain clearly and make every patient feel welcome.
That promise still guides us. Across Halewood, Norbrook and Port Meade, our specialists carry the Avelen tradition forward with personal attention at every step.
