My wife had an eye issue last year and visited this practice, they checked her eyes and provided a practical non-invasive resolution. In the end, the issue cleared up and she is very happy. I then booked an exam for myself and I must say I was very impressed. The practitioner and his daughter (also an Optometrist) took very good care to ensure I had the best service.
I visited 5 or 6 different machines to check each and every aspect of the eye. In the end, Charles recommended certain lifestyle changes and recommendations to help promote my eye health. I can absolutely recommend this practice to anyone looking for a thorough eye exam.

I went here with extreme condition of dry eyes that caused redness in my eyes along with pressure. The doctor ran thorough series of tests and walked me through the results patiently. It's been more than 6 months now following his prescription glasses and taking in supplements. Much better and improving. I highly recommend this place for a reliable diagnosis.

I've been going to City Eyes for the best part of 30 years and I only have great things to say about them. To have a business for that length of time is a testament to the level of service and excellence you get from Charles his daughter Belinda and the receptionists they have had over the years. Whenever I go there he always has some new technology that allows him to check the health of your eyes and can also show other conditions and if he spots anything he will advise you what to do next.
It's not cheap but without doubt you get a service that is second to none. I can't praise them enough. They have looked after me so well that I now won't go anywhere else. So thank you Charles, Belinda and the rest of the team.

I have been a patient of Charles and Belinda at City Eyes for several years now and I am not being hyperbolic when I say that the service they provide is quite possibly the best in the country. City Eyes is where you should go if you want to receive a complete picture of the health of your eyes. I have been to several high street opticians before and the level of detail that Charles goes into in checking the health of your eyes is orders of magnitude greater.
It almost seems like every time I visit there is some new piece of cutting-edge machinery that has been added to his arsenal. It has also become abundantly clear to me over the years that Charles is eager to get the best result for the patient. I found City Eyes because I needed bespoke Ortho-K contact lenses. Charles treats the design of these lenses and everything he does like an art form, refining things until they are just right.
After finding that my vision could be improved further after a first design, Charles redesigned the lenses again at no extra cost to me so that I would have the best vision I could. On balance, it is true that the service can be expensive when compared to high street opticians, but for that you are getting treatment from a specialist, with a much more comprehensive view of your eyes, and with excellent after care. I routinely recommend City Eyes to people when I talk about my Ortho-K lenses and I hope to continue to see them, pun intended, for several years to come.

I first attended City Eyes 15yrs ago but unfortunately due to personal reasons I had to stop. I returned last year and I have been receiving the same outstanding professional care & attention from Charles & his team. not only are they professional but can still attend to their customers with a personal attentiveness. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my Ortho-k lens!

Hi, I went for a routine examination, on the first impression Charles seemed warm and caring. I paid for a 130 pounds of examination very pricey but again i read good reviews so i thought it would worth it. I started to have mixed feelings when Charles was trying to sell to me a dry eye test around 300 pounds. During the examination, I went to several tests "machine" and I felt that his feedback was focused on building up some concerns and what he can sell about to fix it. Bare in mind that i don't wear glasses and didn't go there for any eye pain reason but just for a routine check.
I really felt that this practician was really pushy onto selling and building up concerns to "make" the sale. I wouldn't go back there and i wouldn't recommend my entourage to go there. Following to this, I went to another ophtamologist that performed a thorough examination and concluded that my eyes were fine and no need to be worried.

A great experience at City Eyes - far better than anywhere else I've been. A very thorough examination in an extremely clean clinic by a professional team led by Dr Babumba. City Eyes has got technology that I've not seen elsewhere, for example a Visufit machine that allows you to 'virtually' try on any frame, which is then fitted to you with millimetre precision. I'm a very happy customer & will certainly be back!

I found this clinic on Google map three years ago. I brought an orthokeratology lens I was using from China, but it was about to expire. And I also feel that for three years undergraduate, if I don't have check in the middle of the semester, it may cause bad consequences for my eyes. my friend had similar situation. We looked at the online information of and thought it was very professional.
In the past three years, I have experienced many symptoms due to my personal physique. The doctor gave professional and patient advice in a timely manner. Whether I was going to school in London to check in the clinic or I was on holiday in China, The doctor gave his opinion via email. Because of the covid, the doctor also patiently helped me contact the courier company.

This is by far the BEST optician I have ever been to. Charles and Belinda are so professional, caring and knowledgeable that the service they provide is just outstanding. I found them almost 5 years ago looking for improving the quality of my contact lenses and I have been delighted with the choice since then. I recommend 100%

This was my first time to City Eyes and I'm so glad I went! I had been concerned about my eye health and with my doctor also advising that I get tested, I was a bit nervous to say the least - but all my worries were abated when I met Charles the lovely and calming eye doctor who thoroughly went through my concerns and medical history. I decided to get the full eye testing package, for which I'm very happy that I did.
The diagnostic machines are second to none - they detect everything with no pain and are actually quite fun! Charles explained every exam and reassured me throughout. I got the results immediately - along with peace of mind. I would 100% recommend City Eyes. Charles also instantly followed up with my eye treatment plan and all the photos necessary for my doctor.
I am very happy and would recommend City Eyes to anyone. Their reception / booking staff were also very friendly and super efficient. A very professional and friendly business! Thank you!

I have been a patient at this clinic for almost 6 years now and I can say I am extremely satisfied with the service. First of all, the treatment has been life changing as I do not need to use glasses anymore and my vision has been much better. I have myopia and can say that this treatment has 100% helped. The equipment at the clinic are of the latest technology and I was really impressed.
No problem has occurred not even once from the contact lenses and everything been going smoothly. Secondly, Charles and his daughter have been so helpful and polite and the service is 10/10. I am so happy I found this clinic and will continue to be a patient in the following years as well. Thank you.

I have been an Ortho K patient at City Eyes for over 12 years now, the service has been first class and i cannot fault Charles and the team. Ortho K has been life changing for me, no glasses or any associated problems whatsoever in that time. However what i really like about Charles is his 'preventative' approach to optical health and well being. Sharing his experience and helping me stay healthy to avoid any future problems (such as dry eyes etc). It's always a pleasure to visit City Eyes and i would not hesitate to recommend them.
