We attended chase eye care with our daughter and the service was brilliant. The ladies in reception are amazing. The examination process was very caring and child friendly. Her progress in her education needs have also improved. Thanks to Mr Puri to his team highly recommended.

Me and my son were with a bigger franchise opticians but moved because they were really rude and had no patients towards my son. We moved to Chase Eyecare because my sister recommended them to me. I am so glad i did, every member of staff are so helpful and friendly. Mr Shakeel Puri really goes above and beyond and my son is so much more relaxed here. He has always been anxious about having his eye test because past experiences but here they're so patient with him and he has a laugh with Mr Shakeel Puri. My son is so chilled out now and looks forward to his eye test. We both enjoy our experiences here. We will never go anywhere else now.

Fantastic experience by a top notch professional, Mr Shakeel Puri. I recommend anyone of any age with any eye problems to consult professionals at Chase Eyecare. I was seen very quickly after I was sent by emergency NHS Eye care, WELL DONE to the whole team, loved the coffee it's divine. I will come here with my family for any further eye care as it was much better than all my previous Optician/Optometrist. Five stars Practice.
