- I have had the most amazing treatment at Safarian and Simon. Anila and Sachin are so professional and friendly and I would recommend them to anyone wanting the best eye treatments for dry eyes and blepharitis. All the staff at the opticians are friendly, kind and professional. I feel lucky that I can go back there and feel welcome and looked after. Being educated about eye care is so important and needs to be available to the population urgently as having dry eyes becomes increasingly prevalent.
- Her care and treatment for me over the past couple of years has been exemplary - covering two comprehensive eye checks and a couple of replacement lenses for cataract problems. Experienced, thoughtful, patient and clear in her explanations. I can’t praise her too highly.
- Having visited numerous opticiansin the past 5 years it was a pleasure to attend simon and Safarian in St Johns Wood. Ms Anila Mistry was extremely warm and professional. My eye examination and Dry eye consultation were very thorough followed up with extensive reports. Great.
- Excellent ,very professional you never feel rushed ,very impressed with Ms Mistry Eye Examination. actually with every one in the Centre I cannot praise the centre highly enough
- As you will see from the above 5 star rating from me, I was very happy with everything during my session. I really can’t think of any suggestions!
- Really good experience! Love my new glasses! Anila the optician was so careful with my eyes! She knew I am extra sensitive! Thank you
- Would highly recommend.
- Anila undertook my eye exam and after many years of not knowing from visits elsewhere that I have Keratoconus. She showed me on the corneal scan where my problem and we have to manage the dryness first then use a scleral lens to improve my vision.
- Anila was amazing, she really helped me understand my eyes with the vast technology , I had an eye test elsewhere at another independent who claimed to have the best equipment, there is no comparison at safarian & simon, coupled with her and her team, the personal service is fab
