Locations We Serve
The London Lens Company is based at 400 Garratt Lane in Earlsfield and welcomes patients from Wandsworth and nearby South London communities. Eye examinations, consultations, fittings and clinical appointments take place at our practice unless confirmed otherwise by our team.
Wandsworth
Patients from Wandsworth can visit our nearby independent practice for comprehensive eye care without relying on a large national chain. We support adults, children and families who value detailed clinical attention, continuity of care and recommendations based on their individual needs.
Earlsfield
Earlsfield is the home of The London Lens Company and our primary local community. The premises have operated as an optician’s for around 25 years, with the practice rebranded and its technology and product offering updated when Ali took over in April 2025.
Southfields
People travelling from Southfields can access thorough eye care from a nearby independent practice. Our service is particularly suited to patients who prefer a consistent relationship with an experienced optometrist and want enough time to understand their results.
Wimbledon
Individuals and families from Wimbledon are welcome to arrange appointments at our Earlsfield practice. We combine detailed clinical assessments with personalised support for patients choosing prescription glasses, contact lenses or specialist myopia-control options.
Clapham
Patients from Clapham can visit The London Lens Company when they want a more personal alternative to a busy high-street optical chain. Our independent approach focuses on clear explanations, considered clinical care and helping each patient make an informed decision.
Balham
Balham residents are welcome to attend our Earlsfield practice for independent eye care in a professional and reassuring environment. We support local professionals, families, children and older adults with appointments tailored to their vision and eye health requirements.
Where Are We?
Journey times and appointment availability can vary. Use the map to plan your visit, or contact our team before travelling when you need information about access, appointment types or an eye concern that may require prompt attention.
Choosing The Right Appointment
Booking the correct appointment helps our team prepare for your visit and ensures that suitable time is available. A routine or advanced eye examination is usually appropriate when you need a prescription check, have noticed gradual changes or are due a regular review.
A contact lens consultation should be selected when you want to begin wearing lenses, change your current lenses or discuss comfort and suitability. Parents concerned about progressing short-sightedness should arrange a myopia control assessment.
Contact the practice rather than relying only on online booking when you have a recent eye symptom, are uncertain about urgency or do not know which appointment type applies.
Who We Help
- Local professionals needing clear, comfortable vision for work
- Families arranging routine eye care
- Children who may need myopia control
- Contact lens wearers
- People choosing prescription glasses
- Patients with recent minor eye symptoms who may be suitable for a Private MECS appointment
