Stephen H Davis Optometrists
Simply the best Opticians around! Loved my whole experience here. From my very first phone call booking an appointment, i was met with superb customer service from Lauren. Eye exam done by Mr Thanki, he is very thorough, clearly explained his findings & very helpful in giving me tips to look after my eyesight, very lovely gentleman, highly recommend.

My glasses only took 4 days they were ready, considering they had to order a frame for me, amazing services and special thank you to Lauren for helping me chose a frame suited to my face shape, already had so many compliments. Highly recommend this place. Clear careful explanation of the results of my sight test and my options.

The practice was established by Mr Patrick Fitzgerald shortly after he was de-mobbed from the Royal Air Force in 1945. It was situated at 100a Stoke Newington Church Street in Hackney. Above what was then, Locatell's chemist. In 1967 he moved to a former sweet shop three doors away at No. 94. It thrived by offering professional, fully comprehensive eye tests, coupled with a complete range of spectacle frames and contact lenses.
Is our Resident Optometrist. He undertook his professional training in the community and hospital practice. He specialises in contact lens fitting and dry eye. Vishal has undertaken further training in glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and acute eye diseases. With over 15 years experience, Vishal understands the importance of taking the time to listen to the concerns of patients and ensuring that they are fully addressed during the consultation.
Vision Aid Overseas is an international charity dedicated to fighting poverty by transforming access to eye care in developing countries. 670 million people - 10% of the world's population - are disadvantaged by poor vision and a lack of spectacles.

The leading cause of sight loss in the world is still prescriptive error- meaning that people simply can't see because they are long or short sighted and do not have the spectacles they need to correct this.But we can all help by donating any unused or unwanted spectacles. The gift of spectacles is the gift of sight.
Are you or your partner receiving income support, guarantee pension credit, income-based jobseekers allowance, or tax credits with a valid NHS tax credits exemption certificate?. Are you named on a valid NHS low income scheme HC2 certificate (or HC3 certificate for partial help with cost of test)?.
You should have an eye examination at least every 2 years. Eye examinations are much more than checks for whether you need glasses - we also carry out a range of tests to assess the health of your eyes. They can help detect problems like glaucoma or diabetic eye disease before you notice the effect on your sight.

As a long standing user I recently needed speedy advice and examination for an unexpected and troubling eye problem. The practice quickly arranged a consultation, I had excellent phone advice followed by a thorough and reassuring examination. A very positive experience!

Absolutely faultless, fast and friendly service with a much better selection of cool, quality frames than you'd guess from looking at the shop front. Easily the best in Stokey.

I’ve been coming here for about 6 years and even though I’ve moved to East Barnet I still make the journey back to Stokey every time! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, I wouldn’t go anywhere else :)

I broke my specs and immediately called. I got an appointment the next morning. When I arrived, the staff was very nice and I was assured my problem would be solved as quickly as they could. In fact, my specs were fixed the very same day and I fetched them in the afternoon! They told me they did all they could and that they wouldn’t be exactly in the same shape as before, but I can’t see the difference! The job was extremely well made and they are as nice as efficient, totally recommend!

Great opticians, great styles of frames and above all, one of the best eye examinations I've had in a while.
From the minute I stepped in, I felt comfortable and relaxed. Everyone knows what they're doing and things are done in a efficient and professional manner.
A great big thank you to all of you for making my decision to come here a pleasure

The Staff are really lovely and endeavoured to make sure I was happy with my glasses. They gave helpful information, made modifications where necessary and are very accommodating. I was able to leave the store with the glasses I wanted and an assurance that I could pop in if I needed anything else.

Absolutely fantastic service! Don't bother with a big chain... you will NOT get the personal touch I got here.
I went for a eye exam initially and everything was smooth and professional. They also seemed to be taking lots of precautions due to the Coivd-19 pandemic which made me feel reassured.
Then came to choosing my glasses, which was were things got even better. The lady who helped me (Lauren I think her name was, massive apologies if that's incorrect) was an absolute star. She knew her stock like the back of her hand and once i described my needs she was pulling out so many great pairs at

I visited Stephen H Davis Optometrists in Stoke Newington for the first time after reading good reviews about the place. I went with an open mind as to what style of spectacles would best suit me and I was relying on their expert advice. I was not disappointed. I was not rushed to choose a frame and was shown an eclectic choice of different styles and colours. Their range of brands and styles is amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. My spectacles arrived in the promised time and I have had very good compliments on my glasses from friends and colleagues. I have no hesitation in
