Perfect eyesight again!
Dr Mani under promised and over delivered. I had sun damage removed from my left eye that had caused my vision to be blurred. After the operation I can now see better with that eye than my "good" eye. I am indebted to him and his team.

Refractive Lens Exchange
I'm over the moon! Dr. Mani and his team are absolutely amazing. I'm so happy with my Refractive Lens Exchange results. It's only been a week since the surgery and I can already see so much better than with my glasses, and there's another 2 weeks of recovery and improvement to go! Thank you all so much. Highly recommended...

I had the best expeience when I had my Lasik surgery in March 2022 in Optimal Vision.
All the staff were very professional and approachable. The facilities were also clean and of high quality.
My surgeon, Dr. Mani, was top class on his work. He was the one who did my pre-operation eye checks and he made me feel safe and relaxed during the surgery by explaining to me thoroughly what was happening. After the procedure, he also did my follow up check ups and made sure that my eyes are healing well.
I highly recommend Optimal Vision.

Had laser eye surgery in Feb 2022 and can't fault Optimal Vision at all. Dr Mani is great, and I have recommended to lots of friends already. The actual op was under 10 mins and pain free, and I had a 1 day recovery and several follow-up appointments. Thanks Dr Mani! :)

I can’t recommend these people enough
I can’t recommend these people enough. I felt like I was dealing with professionals at the top of their game at every stage from the initial phone call through to the surgery and the post-op care. Which, of course, is exactly what you want when you are dealing with your eyesight. I found the actual procedure much easier than the laslik laser surgery that I had 12 years ago and the recovery was extremely fast and problem free. I’m currently still in awe of the results and if you see a middle-aged, bald, fat bloke wandering around central London staring at things and grinning like an idiot, come over and say hello because it’s me enjoying my new eyes!!

Wonderful experience!
I’m so happy that I read all the previous reviews and booked in at optimal vision. Both my experience and the results have been incredible. Top communication from the team who even went out of their way to work around my tricky work schedule. And of course such amazing results from my surgery with Dr. Mani. It has been a truly life changing moment and I’m still processing the fact that I can see this well without glasses!! Thank you!!!

After years of searching I called optimal vision and the results are amazing. I was very worried about the surgery but Dr Mani explained everything thoroughly to me and allayed all my fears. The team were friendly and accommodating and put me completely at ease. The following morning I could read my phone. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Mani and his team.

What a great company
What a great company! From the moment I called to inquire to my check up appointment today, I simply can not fault them. All the staff I dealt with were excellent and Mr Mani (Surgeon) is very reassuring and answers all questions with great knowledge and patience and really knows what he's talking about. The operation was completely painless, the worst bit was having the eye drops put in, which was only mildly uncomfortable. The aftercare was incredibly clear and concise and I felt that if I'd had any issues, they would have been dealt with very quickly. And I now have 20/20 vision which is like a dream come true for a woman who's always worn glasses/contacts! I literally can't thank Optimal Vision enough!

Unprompted review
Life changing, would recommend to everyone
I initially visited Optical Express on Harley Street and was not impressed by their overly pushy sales tactics meaning they want me to put a £500 deposit down on the day after my initial assessment along with the fact I wouldn't be meeting my surgeon until the day of surgery. I decided to look at other options and came across Optimal Vision next door.
My initial conversation was with Dr Mani who was very helpful and all the assessments onwards were with him, he is clearly passionate about what he does and is incredibly experienced. All the staff otherwise were very welcoming and helpful.
The procedure itself is not nice but it is 15 mins of your life and the pay off is totally worth it. I was in pain for the first 24 hours but they supply drops that help with the pain. I then continued on a month long prescription of drops to ensure that my eyes recovered. This was along with 3 follow up appointments, again all with Dr Mani.
I had an astigmatism that meant that my sight when I was out and about was blurry and I had to wear glasses for screen usage, I now have as near to perfect vision as anyone with no previous issues with their eyes and I can really appreciate the post lockdown world to the max. Would recommend getting this procedure done to anyone and would specifically tell them to go to Dr Mani, thank you for the good work

I had my LASIK surgery at the end of April. From pre-op care to post-op care, every aspect was beyond perfect. LASIK has been life changing and I am super happy.

I was really nervous to get laser eye surgery. Dr Mani was very open and honest during my consultation and answered all my queries putting my mind at ease. He was thorough during the after care sessions and made me feel very comfortable and happy with the experience.

20/20 vision!
Optimal Vision was the second company that I went to see for a consultation. After meeting Dr Mani (and the other staff) I felt very comfortable about the process and went ahead and booked the LASIK procedure. I am now 4 weeks post-op and have excellent 20/20 vision. LASIK is something I had wanted to do for a very long time and just didn't have the right information I needed to make the right decision. I didn't once feel like I was being pressured into making a decision, which is why I chose this company.

5 stars experience - I highly recommend it!
I had my Lasik surgery on the 5th of Feb, performed by Dr Mani and, I couldn't be happier.
Dr Mani is an expert in this field and helped me understand the whole process, answered all my questions and helped me relax on the day of the surgery (I was very nervous!)
The surgery went well and, I could see the result straight away!
I had a follow-up appointment the day after the surgery and another one a week after. I am now waiting for my next catch-up which, is coming up soon.
I had a fantastic experience pre and post-ops so far and, I can't recommend Optimal Vision and Dr Mani highly enough!

Laser eye surgery, now glasses free after 23 years! :)
I have always thought about laser, I have worn glasses for 23 years. I was very anxious, worried about the what ifs. I had an appointment with Dr Mani, he explained everything to me and I decided to go ahead with the surgery. It was so fast, Dr Mani did remind me to be patient and I think this is very important. I am now glasses free and hoping this will continue! After care was good, a week after surgery I was concerned and Dr Mani invited me down to check my eyes to be sure all was ok. Thank you
