    I went to Blackheath Eyecare on the recommendation of my eye consultant. I may be wrong on this but, among local opticians, they appear to have the best range of eye scanning equipment. Deepak took a very detailed history of my complicated eye situation and took the time to examine my eyes very thoroughly. Jo provided excellent service in providing new glasses - not pushy at all; fine with me using old frames I already had.

    I'm extremely impressed with the excellent service I receive at Blackheath Eyecare. They are always friendly and very knowledgeable. My examination is always thorough and never rushed. In particular, their optometrist Deepak is excellent - very professional and friendly. I highly recommend this practice!

    Excellent detailed eye examination by friendly optician who explained exactly what was going on in my eyes. Wide choice of lovely frames, with "fashion' advice from qualified staff if required. Proper fitting and adjusting of the finished glasses . Result: an effective, comfortable, flattering and unusual pair of glasses that I am very happy to wear! Thank you, Blackheath Eyecare!

    I’m new and I’m so glad I chose them! Dr Ravi is simply amazing! I’ve had my eyes checked by quite a few doctors over the years (across 3 different countries) and I can honestly say he’s the best! So thorough, meticulous, clear and polite! Today’s was probably the most in-depth examination I’ve ever received: He cleared so many doubts about my vision/some annoying conditions affecting my eyes and answered questions I’ve had for years - it was refreshing! Nothing was rushed. I loved his genuine interest in understanding my visible discomfort to help me out as much as he could. You’re in good hands here! He’s so knowledgeable and a great listener too. Lastly, shoutout to the staff… Both the 2 ladies were very helpful throughout making this visit a great experience all around! Thanks again! G

    I've been with Blackheath Eyecare for over 10 years. Very attentive, always super friendly and unlike larger chain stores, this local opticians business recognised the importance of understanding my unique eye health journey. If you're looking for an opticians business that treats you as an individual, takes the time to understand your eye history, and maintains impeccable cleanliness standards, look no further. This establishment exemplifies what it means to provide exceptional eye care services while prioritising the well-being of their customers. It is a true gem in our community.

    So glad I chose Blackheath Eyecare. I had an excellent in depth assessment from the optician, Annupe, who took great care to explain the tests and results from the extensive high quality equipment they have, gave good advice on looking after my eyes, and made me feel very comfortable and in safe hands. The team are very friendly and professional, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Choosing frames can be a hit and miss experience but the team know their products well and are expert at finding the right frames for you. They also have a great range of frames. Thank you Nathalie for helping me find frames that are both comfortable and look good, and for making me feel so relaxed and a valued customer. I have already recommended a friend and would have no hesitation in recommending Blackheath eyecare services.

    Absolutely lovely people working here. At first I was a bit apprehensive at the cost of the eye exam but the amount of information they get from the advanced machines is fascinating. I never felt rushed when picking glasses and eventually settled on a really nice pair that were ready to collect within a couple of weeks. A refreshing change from the usual chain opticians

    Fantastic team of professionals working at Blackheath Eyecare practice. We had a great experience for my 8 year old who is generally quite afraid of doctors, but she was completely reassured and at ease with the procedure thanks to the amazing care given from start to finish. Also very impressed with the modern state of the art equipment used. Definitely recommended!

  • 5/5 Jules l. 8 months ago on Google
    I'm new to Blackheath Eyecare after being with my previous opticians for many years. I'm so pleased to have found them locally and they also stock the frames that I prefer, so it's a win-win for me! They are extremely helpful, caring, friendly, very informative and professional. With comprehensive up-to-date technology for all the eye tests. Deepak and Jade looked after me very well; going through all updates of my eye health, prescription and lens options. My appointments were not rushed and it was an all-round pleasant experience.

  • 5/5 Hannah L. 8 months ago on Google
    Fantastic service from the team at Blackheath Eyecare. Eye tests are always thorough and clearly explained at every step of the way. They put my children at ease when carrying out the tests. Advice from the team about which glasses to buy was excellent. The team are so friendly and professional. I highly recommend Blackheath Eyecare and wouldn't choose anyone else for my or my family's eyecare needs. Special shout out to Jade who is just fabulous!

  • 5/5 Luke W. 7 months ago on Google
    Have just picked up my lovely new glasses from Blackheath Eyecare, and I love them. From having an eye examination to the choosing of the frames and lenses, everyone was very helpful and friendly. All the staff were really thorough and took plenty of time to make sure I made the right choices. And they have a great range of unusual and interesting frames. Cannot recommend highly enough

  • 5/5 MÓNICA OBONO NDONGO O. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent service with the friendliest staff. They looked after me from the first appointment booking and throughout all the process until I came out with my new glasses. The woman who run the extensive eye test kindly answered all my many questions and explained to me a variety of options. I am very happy with this optician, which I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 peter d. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing and professional service. Really, you can't get better and apart from the professional and specialist eyecare treatment you receive, the customer service side exceeds the standards. Jo is such a positive and dynamic person and the whole team do an amazing job. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Rahul K. 1 year ago on Google
    Would highly recommend this optician. I was extremely impressed by the care with which Ravi took in carrying out my eye test and patience in answering my questions along the way. All other staff I encountered were also very welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Silvs P. 1 year ago on Google
    My daughter uses the Ortho K lenses and she is happy with her choice. All the team here are super nice especially Jade! Deepak is very professional and has a kind, caring disposition which made my daughter feel at ease instantly. I would definitely recommend Blackheath Eyecare to my friends and family.

  • 5/5 Mr M. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly, local opticians. Talked me through every step of the process from my first ever eye test at 47 years old to fitting me for my first glasses. Offered recommendations and didn't force anything on me when I said I'd feel uncomfortable in certain frames. Highly recommended personal service, thank you.

  • 5/5 steve d. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service from Jade and the team. Really impressed with the eye examination and the range of technology used. The selection of frames on display is top-notch and the team are very helpful in helping you find the right pair that suit your requirements. A terrific experience- thank you!

  • 5/5 John D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff at Blackheath Eyecare Opticians are extremely professional. One feels very comfortable and safe in their hands of care given, with very friendly and no pressure assistance. The staff couldn't be more helpful. Great selection of frames too.

  • 5/5 Andreas G. 1 year ago on Google
    I was looking for an independent optician and found the right one. Very friendly and professional help getting an appointment quickly because my glasses were broken. Joy was absolutely fantastic and managed to get my new glasses ready before my vacation. Highly recommended to go there for a professional advice. I will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Stephen F. 1 year ago on Google
    I've used Blackheath Eyecare for years, and now my children do too. They are always super-nice and friendly and go out of their way to locate hard-to-find frames or prescriptions for contact lenses. It was hard for my daughter to accept that she needed glasses at a young age, but they were so kind and offered such a range of cool-looking frames that she got over it very quickly and now looks forward to her visits. I can't recommend them enough.

  • 5/5 Áine O. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent and detailed care and attention given during the appointment for both my contacts and glasses. I was very pleased with the technology available in the practice, the attention to details and patient explanation of the eye tests and results. The staff were wonderful and helpful throughout. A very positive and successful experience. I highly recommend choosing Blackheath Eyecare as your optician.

  • 5/5 Sam B (. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic opticians. The whole team are super competent, kind and helpful, with a great range of glasses and all the tech if you have complicated eyesight problems like me. I have worn glasses since I was seven, and it was not until I was recommended to come to Blackheath Eye Care that I actually felt comfortable in my glasses, having finally found a frame that I really liked on me and I have recently bought my second pair there. The team have a really good eye for what suits the individual and are honest about what they think. Photo of the very cheeky arm of my most recent pair… I also have contact lenses - the team have been very helpful ordering different trial pairs to find the best solution for me. I have been bringing my kids for years as well and my 15 year old looks great in his glasses too.

  • 5/5 Pat C. 2 years ago on Google
    Had my eye test today and couldn’t ask for better service from both the optician Deepak and the lovely jo who helped me choose my new specs nothing was too much trouble thank you.

  • 5/5 Dave l. 2 years ago on Google
    I sat on my bifocals and needed a repair . was given an appointment very quickly. the repair was carried out the same day and my specs were returned later that day by Jade as she lived near me . there was no charge . marvelous service.

  • 5/5 Diana T. 2 years ago on Google
    I was initially searching for a place where I can just upgrade my current glasses. This is when I saw this Blackheath eyecare and booked an appointment with Jade. I was really excited and happy: I had one whole hour devoted just to me during which I could try almost everything in the store. I should say that the choice was quite a difficult one since everything in this store is hand picked as far as I understand so all frames met my expectations- they were quite light and trendy, let alone of different colours. Jade has been of great assistance and helped me to narrow my choice to two frames both of which I bought after long consideration. In one week, when I came after the glasses, everything was there for me and I was even more excited about the frames since I realised that I made a choice which was perfect for me. Special thanks to Jade for helping me out, she’s really devoted to what she’s doing and also has great knowledge about each piece in the store. Would highly recommend these opticians to everyone! Should also note that the prices are quite pleasant and affordable, especially given the vast choice available.

  • 5/5 Judith B. 2 years ago on Google
    Thank you for a positive pandemic experience of dealing with my eye health concerns. The technology and assessment were so reassuring. Jo helped me choose new frames. A great experience

  • 5/5 Debbie W. 3 years ago on Google
    I’ve been to Blackheath Eyecare a number of times now with various issues, and have always been delighted with their service. Initially I attended for some advice on contact lenses. I was very apprehensive about this, as I hated the very thought of even touching my eyes! However Jade was an amazing teacher and gave me as much time as I needed to practice putting in the lenses, which I can now do with ease. All the staff at Blackheath Eyecare are very polite and charming and have no end of patience and knowledge in helping you with your questions. Totally recommended!

  • 5/5 Hilary B. 2 years ago on Google
    Having tried 3 local opticians over the years I was recommended to Blackheath Eyecare by a friend. Superb opticians with 3 highly qualified optometrists and state of the art equipment not seen in other local practices. My examination was extremely thorough and results explained clearly to me in layman’s terms. This equalled the service and treatment received in Moorfields Private Clinic so very impressed and reassured. Lenses by Nikon top quality and the dispensing optician’s knowledge & advice ensured best choice of lens, tint, fitting & measurement for varifocal lenses. Superb fit and very comfortable. Staff welcoming and their website a hive of useful information on all optical issues.

  • 5/5 Sorcha A. 2 years ago on Google
    Had the most wonderful experience with Jade at Blackheath Eyecare. Thoroughly a five star experience from start to finish. From my first enquiry via email, there was an almost immediate response and the professional and fantastic customer experience continued from there. Beautiful and quality eye wear of all kinds available and both of my appointments were conducted in a really covid safe way. Cannot highly recommend this optician enough and I will certainly be encouraging all my friends and family to switch their optician! Thanks ever so much Jade :)
