A brilliant service…

Simon was able to see my teenage son within 24hrs of contacting him regarding an appointment for his minor eye condition service. His examination was thorough, informative and reassuring and the problem was resolved quickly. Simon and his staff offer a professional and convenient service within the village which saves time and the aggravation of having to drive further afield to an eye clinic.

Thanks for your work and professionalism!

I want to express my deep gratitude to the staff of the clinic and Dr. Simon for the assistance provided. I came from Ukraine and I had problems with my eyes. They helped promptly, the doctor professionally checked everything, explained, told. Thanks for your hard work and professionalism. All at the highest level.
With respect and great gratitude, Alina

This is a review for Simon Klyne

This is a review for Simon Klyne, whom I saw at Frinton a few days ago. He looked at my eye, told me what was wrong with it. Inflammation, and that the lens and iris were stuck together and he got me an appointment at the eye clinic at Colchester Primary care servises. And has kept in touch with me asking how my appointments went and how my eye is, which is very caring.

Entropion

Entropion - bottom lid turned in. Spotted by Mr Kleyn and referred to eye clinic. Receptionists tracked lost referral form and passed to clinic. Several appointments later a successful operation. Concern & follow up at this optician excellent. Regular eye tests cover complete eye survey, clear information given about any problems.

Brilliant Simon Kleyn and his team!!

Excellent consultation and a thorough examination!
Extremely polite and professional team!
Myself being a dental professional working with highly magnified loupes/vision- I was overly impressed with Simon's in-depth analysis, diagnoses and recommendations.
I would honestly only recommend him for any eye/vision issues!

Exceedingly speedy treatment

After attending a regular eye check up yesterday, I received a thorough assessment of the condition of my eyes which I felt had deteriorated somewhat during lockdown.
Simon explained the detailed photographs to me and very swiftly referred me to the specialist eye clinic.
I was called two hours later and attended an appointment where I was treated with laser retinopexy that same afternoon. I’m so glad I went to be checked. Many thanks Simon and his excellent service. Thoroughly recommended.

Simon saw that I had not been seen by the eye clinic for two years and he noticed that my eye pressures were higher than he would like. He did an urgent referral to both Colchester and copied in Southend Hospital. It had the desired effect and I had an appointment offered from both establishments.
I would recommend anyone to consult Simon and he will get things moving
Many thanks

Simon Kleyn has been my optician for many years.

Simon Kleyn has been my optician for many years and I have always been completely happy with his care. He referred me for cataract surgery 18 months ago and I was very satisfied with. Recently one of my eyes became blurry, a secondary cataract apparently that required laser surgery . He referred me to a clinic the day he saw me, and they phoned me the same day with an appointment for the next day! In less that 24 hours my vision was restored. I cannot recommend Simon highly enough for his care!

I was passed on to Simon via my local doctor as my eye was turning extremely red very quickly, after speaking to Simon he quickly reassured me that I had fractured a blood vessel but not be alarmed as my medication caused the bleeding ( blood thinner) and within two days the problem had gone…..panic over. Thanks Simon for your professional help & advise regards Nicholas Quinn

Sore eyes

I contacted Simon Kleyn, Earls Colne as I didn't know who else to turn to with sore eyes and redness. Within 2 hours I was seen and expertly looked after. It was amazing! Excellent service and attention and covered by the NHS, which was an added bonus.

Excellent optician

I cannot recommend this opticians highly enough. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful, appointments are readily available and Simon Kleyn is a very thorough optician who has seen me through laser treatment for pressure in the eyes, a cataract operation and most recently he advised me on managing dry eye treatment.
