I recently took my mum to the Harley Street Eye Centre, and I honestly cannot praise them enough. She was quite hesitant about going when it comes to your eyes, you don’t take any chances, and you need to be in the hands of people you can truly trust. From the moment we walked in, any nerves she had just melted away. The staff were incredibly professional, warm, and reassuring throughout the entire experience. They made my mum feel completely at ease, which for someone who was apprehensive about an eye appointment, meant the world to us. Nothing felt rushed, and you could tell they genuinely cared about their patients. They examined her thoroughly, gave a clear diagnosis, and sorted the issue without any fuss. The whole process was smooth, straightforward, and stress-free from start to finish. If you or a loved one are looking for an eye clinic where you’ll be treated with the utmost care and expertise, look no further than the Harley Street Eye Centre. Absolutely first class. We’ll be coming back without hesitation.

I had a great experience with this clinic from start to finish. The whole team were friendly, helpful, supportive, and incredibly professional throughout the process. They gave me all the information I needed and seemed to be very thorough during the assessment, which made me feel confident and well informed before going ahead with treatment. During the laser eye surgery itself, I felt completely reassured and in highly professional hands. The staff were calm, supportive, and talked me through everything, which really helped put me at ease. I’m over 40 and had an over/under correction approach to hopefully reduce the need for reading glasses in the future, and the team explained everything clearly so I felt comfortable with the decision. Just a few days after my LASIK treatment, I already have better than 20/20 vision and it’s crazy to see everything in what feels like HD. I also have thin corneas, so I wasn’t sure if I’d even be suitable for surgery, which makes the outcome even more amazing for me. I’m pleased I decided to go ahead with the procedure and would highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

I underwent LASIK surgery at Harley Street Eye Centre in March and would like to share my very positive experience. The entire process was handled with a high level of professionalism and care. Dr Ghabara, who performed my surgery, demonstrated exceptional expertise, and the procedure itself was smooth and remarkably efficient. The overall experience was excellent. I would also like to acknowledge Dr Hakam, who served as client coordinator and ensured that every stage of the process was clearly explained and well organised. In addition, April and Amanda at reception provided consistently courteous and attentive service, contributing to a welcoming and well-managed environment. I am particularly pleased to report that my recovery has been entirely uneventful, with no issues following the LASIK procedure, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. I would confidently recommend Harley Street Eye Clinic to anyone considering laser eye surgery.

Why paediatric eye care matters

Many eye conditions begin in childhood and, if left untreated, can affect learning, development, and confidence. Routine eye checks and early intervention help ensure children have the visual foundation they need for school and daily life.

  • Refractive Errors (short-sightedness, long-sightedness, astigmatism): Clear, comfortable vision for learning and play.
  • Myopia Management: Special lenses and therapies to slow progression of short-sightedness.
  • Amblyopia (Lazy Eye): Strengthening vision in the weaker eye through tailored treatments.
  • Strabismus (Eye Turn): Correcting misalignment to support binocular vision.
  • Eye Health Monitoring: Screening for rare but serious childhood eye conditions.

Does this sound like your child?

Signs Your Child May Need an Eye Check

Squinting, closing one eye, or tilting the head to see

Difficulty seeing the board at school or holding books close

Frequent eye rubbing, headaches, or tired eyes

Poor hand–eye coordination or clumsiness

Delayed reading ability or reduced concentration

An obvious eye turn or “wandering eye”

From enquiry to clear vision

At Harley Street Eye Centre in London, your care is consultant-led and tailored to your vision, lifestyle and goals. From first enquiry through consultation, diagnosis and treatment, we explain every step in plain language and agree a plan together. Our clinic at 22a Harley Street combines advanced diagnostics and modern laser/surgical technology with clear aftercare and long-term monitoring where needed (e.g., keratoconus, glaucoma, retina). Use the tabs to see what happens at each stage — from booking to recovery — and what to expect on the day. When you’re ready, book a consultation or call our team.

01

Free assessment

We look forward to welcoming you to your appointment and answering any questions you may have about treatment options, the clinic, timings or fees. Your consultation will include a comprehensive assessment by a consultant ophthalmologist, including vision testing and any required diagnostic imaging, to determine your suitability for treatment and develop an individualised management plan.

02

DIAGNOSIS

Following review of your assessment results, your consultant will explain the findings and discuss the most appropriate evidence-based management options, including non-surgical alternatives where relevant. The consultation will include a discussion of the expected outcomes, potential risks, recovery considerations and associated costs, enabling a shared decision on the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.

03

TREATMENT

You will be welcomed by our clinical team, who will complete final checks, confirm consent and ensure you are comfortable before treatment. The procedure is performed by your consultant using modern technology, followed by immediate post-operative assessment and provision of tailored aftercare instructions, including guidance for your recovery and onward support.

04

AFTERCARE

Good outcomes depend on structured follow-up care. We will monitor your recovery through scheduled reviews, adjust medications as required, and provide ongoing clinical advice, including guidance on symptoms, activity levels, and when to seek further support, with direct access to our team between appointments if needed.

How much does paediatric eye care cost?

We believe in transparent pricing for children’s eye health. After your child’s assessment, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs for any recommended treatments, including glasses, therapies, or follow-up visits.
