Hawkes & Wainer have been optometrists and contact lens practitioners in the City of London since 1919. For over a hundred years we have provided first class eye care using the very latest in materials, products, diagnostic equipment and treatments. From our comprehensive eye examination through to our high quality service and products we ensure that we will make you see comfortably while assuring the health of your eyes. We have moved to Gloucestershire and unfortunately need to say farewell, we have both enjoyed coming to your practice and will always recommend you.
Services
We have a wide selection of frames to suit your specific requirements and provide honest and personal advice about the style, shape and colour to suit your face and skin tone and the frames to suit your lenses. Take Home & Try Service - Choosing the right frames for your spectacles is an important and very personal decision.
A thorough eye examination can lead to the early detection of certain eye diseases, such as glaucoma, as well as indicating the presence of different medical conditions affecting other parts of the body, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Early detection of such conditions enables treatment to be given much more effectively.
We have moved to Gloucestershire and unfortunately need to say farewell, we have both enjoyed coming to your practice and will always recommend you. Unfortunately during lockdown I lost my job after 32 years and I will no longer be working in the City. I wanted to thank you and your team for the exemplary care offered to my daughter at very short notice last Thursday 18/8. You are aware she was complaining of very limited sight in her right eye and this together with ongoing investigations was of obvious concern.

I initially went to Vision Express to get new lenses for my glasses. When I got them back, the frames were so wide the glasses would hardly stay on my face. They said there was nothing they could do except heat the middle of them and try and bend them to fit my face. These are quite expensive frames so I didn't want them bent out of shape. I went into this store to see if anything could be done and the man sorted them out perfectly in 5 minutes completely free of charge. I will be going here in future rather than a high street opticians.

I bought my glasses from h&w 34 years ago and I'm still wearing them!. The lenses haven't yellowed or crazed at all and the frames which were altered to fit my crooked face exactly, have held up so well! I wish I was still living in London as I need to update the prescription on one lens but sadly I'm no longer in the UK. I'm glad to see the reviews are still glowing.deservedly so! Thanks h&w for a superior product!

Hawkes & Wainer is a brilliant firm. Extremely professional care and customer service that is so good, it is almost beyond belief. The whole team is superb, but Gary is a fantastic first among exceptional equals. I have been a customer for over 30 years and can recommend H&W to anyone wanting an excellent service.
