Recommendation for Children's Opticians


Recommended Posts

I took mine to Paine & Hunter for our daughter when she was 5 and they have been brilliant. Shes very short sighted and they are great with testing young children. Still go 9 years later!

Just wanted to add my recommendation for Paine + Hunter and in particular Dr. Charles (forgotten his surname!) He's excellent with children and put my 9 year old daughter at ease. My 9 yo had been given an earlier diagnosis of glasses by another optician - but I wanted a second opinion after she had a terrible experience with the first eye dr. It turned out she'd simply got so flustered at the first eye dr. (who was shouting at her when she began crying) she'd completely messed up on reading the letters and was prescribed glasses that would have actually made her eyesight blurry! So, a hearty recommendation for Paine + Hunter and for Dr. Charles!

Another thumbs up for Paine + Hunter - took my kids back after first visit last year and again, impressed with their friendliness and thoroughness. We had a different doctor from the one we had the first visit - but equally great rapport with children. Highly recommend!

I'd also recommend Roger Pope in Dulwich Village. I take all three of my children there and they are always friendly and helpful, and make sure that the children are relaxed and happy during the eye test.


Sounds like there are a few good options, so it may just depend on where you live and how convenient the appointments are.

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
