I came from a national optician where an optician gave me poor advice regarding retinal detachment. I came to see the Chase Eye consultant Mr Puri who used more sophisticated equipment and gave me a more thorough examination, and took time to provide advice from his knowledge and experience. Amongst this good advice, I was found not to have retinal detachment at all. Thank you very much to Mr Puri and his team for putting my mind at rest.

I had a great experience at chase eye care today! I had an issue with my eyes and was told by my doctor I needed an emergency appointment, I called and booked an appointment within a few hours which was a relief! The receptionist is lovely and made me feel really comfortable, then the consultant Mr Puri was amazing! I felt totally reassured and have booked in for a regular eye test next week! Brilliant service, Thank you!
