We are a forward looking practice, with innovative ideas, a progressive approach to eyecare services and treatment. We use state-of-the-art hi-tech diagnostic equipment, stock fashionable/designer spectacle frames and sunglasses. We are up to date with the latest vision correction procedures including Orthokeratology (OrthoK) and Colourimetry. We offer pre-assessments and unbiased advice about corrective laser eye surgery.
We regularly attend seminars and conferences in the USA, UK and the rest of Europe, so as to keep in tune with current and future research for the treatment of eye diseases, like Macular Degeneration, Diabetes, Cataract, Glaucoma and the control of short sightedness (Myopia) in children and young adults.

I was visiting London from Singapore and my Ortho-K lenses broke. Regular glasses/daily lenses couldn't function as an adequate substitute as my cornea shape would keep changing in the days/weeks immedately pausing Ortho-K wear. I was quite distressed as I could not get help from my opthalmologist back in Singapore as I was too far away, and other opthalmologists I went to in London were unsure of how to help. Thankfully I found Dr. Babumba (and also coincidentally later found out that my opthalmologist in Singapore sends a lot of patients his way when they are visiting the UK) who was kind, professional, and extremely helpful. He knew what to do and selected the right treatments for me at the lowest cost possible. He was very thorough in his examination of my eyes and put me at ease. He really was a lifesaver on my trip. Thank you very much Dr. Babumba!

I went to City Eyes for Ortho-K as my 8-year-old son's short-sightedness was getting worse one and a half years ago. Charles designed the lenses, which was tailor-made for my son's eyes. We were very happy with the results and now my son's naked eyesight during the day is excellent. Charles is very experienced and he did the examination carefully and patiently. Every time we visit for a routine check, Charles and Belinda have been very kind and helpful, which we strongly appreciate. Would highly recommend for children's parents who are anxious about their children's eye-sight.

Staff are very professional, they are able to contract my previous ophthalmologist back in Thailand to discuss about the situation. And I finally get new othetecnology lenses after old one were broken.

Charles and Belinda have been looking after my boys' eyes for years. They are so kind and experienced. My boys are much more confident especially at sports since they started to wear ortho-k lens. Whenever I have questions about their eyes, I send emails to Charles and he gets back to me promptly.

The staff here are absolutely amazing. I take my daughter here for her treatment and Belinda and Charles have been really good with her. Despite her starting treatment at the young age of 5, their expertise means she is confidently wearing contact lenses, and overall her vision is much better. I can’t thank them enough, so happy to have found this place and I definitely recommend.
