    Very welcoming and professional service. Good experience during my visit. All aspects of the eye tests and assistance with closing new frames / lenses were carried out very well. No complaints and looking forward to collecting my new spectacles.

    Well organised, friendly and professional opticians. My first encounter with them was via an emergency appointment. My daughter (aged 8) managed to get some grit in her eyes while walking down the high street and it was quite painful as, understandably she kept rubbing her eyes. After visiting 2 local health care providers who both refused to see her as we didn’t have an appointment, we came across Orpington Eyecare centre and the owner thankfully fitted us in immediately in between patients. Mr Patel is a brilliant practitioner with dedicated, caring staff. We will be using this opticians going forward. This is an independent opticians and the quality of care is evident. I highly recommend.

  • An efficient and professional service. I’ve tried other opticians on Orpington High Street and this one is by far the best.

    First time I’ve been to Orpington Eyecare and it was an excellent experience. Got an appointment really quickly, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the shop was not busy, which made me feel at ease. I’ve had 4 months of irritated eyes and have seen various medical professionals, with no improvement until now. Mr Patel got to the bottom of the problem and prescribed the necessary. 10 out of 10, have already recommended to family. Thank you!

  • I have just changed to this optician from one of the chains. Very calm and thorough treatment. I felt confident. I could not transfer from my wheelchair to the seat but my eyes were tested while I remained in my chair so this was not a problem. Good selection of frames. I am happy to have changed. Parking is easier too.

    I have a problem with one of my eyes of which I was very worried about. I initially contacted another optician that I've been with for a number of years, only to be told that next avaliable appointment was in December. I then contacted Orpington Eyecare Centre. I was offered a telephone consultation with Mr Patel. After various in depth questions and answers, Mr Patel concluded and put my mind at rest with a diagnosis. I forwarded some photographs of my eye,via email, in which I received a prompt response confirming same. Mr Patel answered all my questions in great detail and care. I would like to take this opportunity in thanking The Orpington Eyecare Centre, and will definitely recommend them to my family and friends. Can you guess, where I will go, for my next Eye Examination ?

    I was there with an appointment, no waiting, the receptionist was very friendly and the optician was pleasant, quick to find the cause of my eye problem and referred me for eye surgery all in a few minutes.

  • 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
