If it's a newly added feature you have created then how you deployed your solution. I had also faced same problem.

If you have updated your solution than it probably not be there. because there are changes in package file. Retract and remove your solution then add and install your solution.

Remember if new feature added then you have to retract and add the new solution.

If changes are made in feature like page added the update will do the job but in this case you have to deactivate and activate the feature.

If any changes in page then only update solution will do the job.

If you update a WSP package that contains a new feature, you have to install the feature. This can be done by PowerShell right after the solution update with:

Install-SPFeature -path "<name_of_folder_containing_the_new_feature>"

(name_of_folder_containing_the_new_feature can be found in VS or in the "...\15\templates\features" folder.)

For info, when you first deploy a WSP, all features are installed automatically, witch is not the case for new features during a solution update.

If you have recently added the feature to a solution file already deployed, it will not immediately show up.

You will need to check for existing features using power-shell then install it. ex.

Install-SPFeature -ScanForFeatures

Install-SPFeature FeatureName
