Simon is the most thorough optician I have ever seen! Thanks to him it was ruled out that I had had a mini stroke, but. he was able to tell me in detail just what was going on in my eyes! I had seen a disc like object pass over my eyes on three separate occasions (2 in the left eye and one in the right).
Our specialist Dispensing Optician and Optometrist will accurately assess your requirements and talk you through a range of solutions for your individual requirements. Your glasses and sunglass lenses need to match both your prescription and your lifestyle needs.

Technological advances have made modern lenses lighter, more comfortable, give better vision driving, and are less prone to scratching or breaking if the correct coatings have been applied and the correct lens material has been specified.We're committed to providing exceptional service and bespoke solutions.
ZEISS supply thin light weight high index lenses, both for cosmetic reasons, comfort and most importantly for the best vision. Please book an appointment with our practice to discuss this further with our Dispensing Optician who is the best person to advise you on your choice of Zeiss lenses. Centre thickness optimisation makes spectacle lenses even better: See better and look better.
Long term exposure to UV rays can cause the protein in the lens of the eye to clump and thicken, preventing light from easily passing through the lens. This clouding and thickening of the lens is known as a cataract, and it is the leading cause of vision loss in the world. Ultraviolet light is a form of radiation which is not visible to the human eye.

Absolutely fantastic service from Simon under the Minor Eye Care Service. Same day appointment, made to feel welcome and comfortable and had grit removed from my eyelid, solving my eye pain issue. Would highly recommend for this service or general opticians. Thank you so much.

I cannot speak highly enough of Simon and his team. I was very concerned after noticing one pupil was bigger than the other and started catastrophizing and becoming very anxious about it. I rang at midday and by 5pm that day he had seen me and totally put my mind at ease.
This is the second or third time in a few years I have seen Simon about eye worries and each time I am made to feel completely reassured by the checks he does. He is also such a kind Optician to see and I am very grateful. I couldn't recommend Simon enough! Thank you so much.

Following an accident I was concerned my eyesight was deteriorating. I was aware Simon was a specialist as my daughter had been referred to him previously. Simon as able to see me quickly and gave me a thorough checkup. He provided reassurance and took the time to explain my options. I strongly recommend his professional service.

I had a minor eye problem which my usual optician didn’t have the equipment to deal with, luckily I found Simon Kleyn in Frinton. Dealt with me over the phone to start with as he was on holiday (impressive) I saw him today and had very intensive tests. Luckily he found no major problem, he was efficient and thorough and he put my mind at rest, also a very pleasant man. I will be going back to him when I need my next test.

I had to get an eye exam fairly urgently and Simon Kline gave me an appointment that day.
Everything was checked thoroughly and I was impressed with the knowledge and expertise I experienced. Everything was explained comprehensively to me.
Thank you for explaining the importance of acting on any change immediately I would not have realised how important that is.
The staff were friendly and professional also. Every thing was followed under COVID guidelines, so l felt completely comfortable and safe

In these uncertain times Simon and his colleagues went out of their way to help with a worrying eye problem.
A very gratifying mix of professionalism and customer facing service, with a full explanation of every aspect of the procedures carried out.
Simon Kleyn are a fine example as to why the large chains will never totally dominate the eye-care market.
Thank you!!

I have known this opticians practice for many years. My daughter received her first glasses from Mr Kleyn more than 14 years ago, so I had no qualms having an emergency visit last week to his practice as molten solder had hit my eye. Simon's attention & care were tremendous. He is a consummate professional. My eyesight luckily has a positive outcome.
