Trusted by Patients & Care Professionals
Real stories from the patients, families and care managers we serve across London and the Home Counties.
"I was overwhelmed by how thorough and patient the optician was with my husband. He has vascular dementia and previous tests at a high street optician were incredibly stressful. This was completely different — calm, unhurried, professional. I cannot recommend Almond Eyecare enough to any family in a similar position."
"Allan, aged 85, hadn't had his eyes tested in years as he can no longer travel. The optician was kind and unhurried. We discovered he needed a new prescription which has made a real difference to his daily life."
"As manager of a care home in Watford, I cannot recommend Almond Eyecare enough. They visit regularly, keep thorough records, and our residents love them. Gentle, professional and clearly passionate."
"Mum has Parkinson's and hadn't had a proper eye test in years. The optician was wonderful — so patient and thorough. We were seen within the week and the NHS covered everything. Invaluable service."
