Testimonials
Optical Express were simply brilliant. Everything from the warm welcome of the counselling staff (shreeya Mistry), consultation with Pretti Khakhar to the treatment with the surgeon was seamless. Throughout the process I felt totally comfortable and in control – thanks to the staff and their attention to detail and care. I would recommend the treatment and Optical Express without any hesitation to anyone!
I would say to any one who is unsure about this treatment that they should not hesitate in getting it done.It was completely painless and something I should have done a long time ago.The results were brilliant and I noticed the difference immediately.I can’t thank Optical Express enough.
