Patient Stories

Trusted by Patients & Care Professionals

Real stories from the patients, families and care managers we serve across London and the Home Counties.

"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."

Allan Hendrick
Patient, Hertfordshire

"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."

Jackie M.
Care Home Manager, Watford

"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."
