  • Have tried a few opticians on the high street and this is by far the best. If you want quality eye care, I would recommend going here.

    I have been seeing Mr. Patel for a number of years now and I can say I wouldn’t see another optometrist. His expertise and bed side manner is amazing! Him and his team has always been very helpful through the years. Thank you very much

  • The best optician and new glasses experience I have ever had. Very professional all the way through the process. Excellent advice regarding choice of frames and lens type resulting in a very great pair of glasses even tho I have a complex prescription. Because of my prescription new glasses can be a bit disappointing but not these, they are superb. Thank you!

    Very nice team and dedicated to customer service. Worked hard to put right an issue I had with some new glasses. Cannot recommend their approach highly enough.

  • Great attention to detail when being taught about contact lenses. My 8year daughter had a good experience with her eye test, and learnt more about her eyesight. Thank you.

  • Orpington Eye Care saw me with no notice when I had a sudden problem with my eyesight - turns out it was a visual migraine (something I'd never experienced). They were extremely helpful and reassuring, I hugely appreciated them fitting me in so quickly and being so friendly. Thank you!

    I recently attended Orpington Eyecare and Hearing Centre as I have cataracts and the sight in one eye in particular was becoming extremely blurred. I explained this when I rang and was given a convenient appointment to suit me and advised what to expect. The Centre is Covid-19 safe. I was seen by Mr. Patel and my eyes given a thorough examination. Mr. Patel explained his findings clearly to me and recommended he refer me to a hospital eye clinic and asked where I'd like to be referred. He then emailed the referral through immediately to my chosen hospital and sent me a copy. I received excellent care throughout my appointment and the whole experience was reassuringly efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend the Orpington Eyecare Centre which I have already recommended to a friend.

    Very professional and friendly service. Took time to explain all the tests and what the results meant. Premises very clean and spacious, no COVID concerns! Will definitely return when I need new glasses.

    Updated review. 28th January 2026. Today was my two year check up. As always the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Patel was excellent with the eye test and explaining everything. Once again excellent service 7th May. It was just a small issue with my glasses, but as always were well treated and looked after my staff. Can never fault the service or the politeness of the staff Dr Patel and his staff are brilliant. They handled my cancelled booking with care. Thank you Mary The eye test is throughly done by Dr Patel. Have I been attending for a few years now. I like that I can see my previous visits results and compare with this latest eye tests. I like that you get a text reminder the day before your appointment. Would fully recommend for eye tests
