Hi Catherine, interesting to hear you are offended by an 'intrusive' website, best advise would be not to log on again, Simon

Amazing from start to finish

Wonderful, thorough service and experience from start to finish. Both cataracts dealt with, with minimal fuss and add to this, a great service from NewMedica in Ipswich who performed the procedures with minimal delay! Thanks so much

The Best!- Written by Graham Earle

The Best!
I can’t praise Simon Kleyn, Optician-Optometrist too highly. Highly skilled & professional. By far the best I’ve ever met. I was seen twice & had my files sent to the Eye Clinic. I was first seen on Friday 9th June. I was worried about my condition & so went back on Monday 12th June. I got an appointment at the Eye Clinic on Tuesday 13th June. Fantastic

Very efficient and courteous service from Simon and staff. Quickly booked me in for scans and exam for eye problem. Took time to explain everything clearly without the rush of some other high street opticians. I would definitely recommend to others. Thank You, CW.

If in doubt contact optician.

I visited Simon Kleyn today as I had a floater in one of my eyes, very experienced person who thoroughly examined both my eyes. He explained exactly what a floater is and advised me that should this happen again to call him immediately, not wait 3/4 weeks as I have done. I was one of the lucky ones and am most grateful for all his advice. Thank you Simon.

Excellent practice

I was experiencing issues with my vision and got an appointment the same day.
The team were very friendly and thorough - fortunately I got the all clear, but was so glad I had got the check as it was really reassuring.

Got some brick dust in my eye and could not see it. Rang Simon Kleyn at 4.50pm 10 mins before closing and the receptionist said come on down no ifs or buts. Saw the optometrist and to my delight he was able to find the dust and remove it. Wasnt expecting to be seen so big thank you to Simon Kleyn opticians.

Cataract surgery

Following a referral from Simon Kleyn in August I was referred to Newmedica in Ipswich for cataract surgery.
Today I have had my follow up appointment with Simon and all is well.
For anyone who is concerned about the procedure please don’t worry. Every step of the way I felt in safe professional hands and the whole experience has been very positive.
I would like to say a big thank you to all involved.
