A great opticians. Such lovely staff especially Nyree and Manish who made me feel very comfortable and gave me incredibly detailed information about my eyes. I will be going back as will my whole family when our next eye tests are due.

Mary Chatley

Delighted with the service I received.
In the UK for a few days & my glasses needed adjusting.
The lovely young lady who helped me, tightened & readjusted my glasses & cleaned them for me.
I would definitely recommend eye2eye in Maidstone to everybody.

Susan Pronker

Referred following an eye test where they found a freckle behind the eye. Within 48 hours I had an appointment and eye was scanned and I was told nothing serious but should be kept under review. Told scan and check in 6 months and received a call and offer of appointment. I was seen by Mr Manish Patel who explained everything clearly and thoroughly. He and his staff provide an excellent service. Would highly recommend and would not go anywhere else.
