“Amazing facility with state of the art diagnostic equipment.
Don is truly a brilliant clinician”

“After suffering from severe Keratoconus for many years and having had surgical crosslinking on both eyes twice, I was experiencing increasingly poor vision with glasses. I decided to visit Don Williams at Edgbaston Eye Clinic to see what could be done. Don has been amazing, I now have perfectly fitted contact lenses, the results of which have changed my life! I have much improved vision and can now function fully, headaches from eye strain and daily tiredness have significantly reduced and am now able to enjoy life and perform day to day tasks far easier. It is not easy when you start wearing contact lenses with severe Keratoconus but I recommend anyone trying to stick with it, it will pay dividends in the end and with Don’s support and knowledge it will make the process far easier. Thank you Don!”

“Came to Mr. Don Williams with a serious condition after it was misdiagnosed at an A&E. Received an accurate diagnosis, proper treatment and continous support from him. Thank you very much, and if I could rate 6/5 I would”

“I was extremely nervous when I first visited the clinic but there was no need. The care and professionalism I received from Mr. Williams was exceptional. His sympathetic manner and easy-going personality put me completely at ease. Mr. Williams quickly diagnosed my condition and discussed treatment recommendations – which I will certainly return for. I cannot recommend him highly enough”
Dr Mike Jenkins
“Don has been our family optometrist for over a decade now and throughout this time he has taken excellent care of our eyes. He has an exceedingly well-equipped clinic and absolutely excellent clinical skills. Both these things came into play this week when I presented with a eye problem that needed urgent attention. You are in safe hands with Don and he fully deserves the five star rating”
Jennifer Cox
“Went to see Don Williams to get second opinion about a problem than I had in left eye
I left with a correct diagnosis which has lead to further referrals to different specialists
I would not have received the correct diagnosis if I had not attended his eye clinic
Or had the other referrals for investigation of other issue responsible
I fully intend to return to Mr Williams when symptoms have had time to settle so that he can give me an eye test and a reliable further diagnosis and prescription for new glasses
Thanks for your expertise and very professional treatment”

“Don’s level of service and care is exceptional. His knowledge is extensive and level of professionalism absolutely brilliant. Don is extremely patient and clearly cares a lot about his patients, he was kind enough to check up on me after my appointment and kindly responded to my many questions so promptly. Thank you so much Don for looking after me”
Rafal Cieslik
“Before I met Mr William’s I was visiting other doctors that couldn’t diagnose my problem as well as he did. He was able to answer all of my questions. I believe that is worth to drive over 2 hour to have a consultation with Dr Williams. He is very professional in what he does and I’m extremely lucky that I met him and I recommend the eye clinic to anyone that has a problem”
Happy New Year Don!
I’ve written a poem for you and Kam this morning. Too late to go in my new book but maybe can get in the next one!
Kam and Don were wizard guys,
Casting magic spells on eyes,
Building skill sets with reliance,
On knowledge and ophthalmic science,
Armed with brains and laser beams,
They were the stuff of eyesight dreams!
Superheroes with a spark,
They brought light to a world of dark,
Cleared the mist of passing time,
And battled every vision crime,
Pupil, iris and cornea,
Were very glad to have them near.
Each retina and macula,
Would find the pair spectacular,
Award them medals they deserve,
For keeping safe the optic nerve,
For making days that extra bright,
Restoring and preserving sight.
Rods and cones are all agreed,
Their work is very good indeed,
In helping medicine advance,
And giving all a fighting chance,
So here it is – a gold decree,
For helping eyes to shine and see

“I have such a good experience there in the clinic! I was really afraid with my eye inflammation as it was really itchy and affecting my eye sight. So I called the clinic as this is the one closest to my place. I booked a same day appointment. Don was a really friendly and nice person. He gave me some treatment to my eyes. And my eyes are back to normal after 2 weeks!! Would definitely recommend this place to all my friends!”
Nigel Stevens
“Came to Don Williams when NHS delayed appointments caused me some concern. This course of action prove to be absolutely the right one, as my Glaucoma could not be left untreated. First class examination, and recommendations for future treatment. I would recommend Edgbaston Eye Clinic (Don Williams) to anyone”
David Carew
“Very rarely do I write reviews because very rarely do we encounter companies or individuals who actually go that extra mile and provide exceptional service that deserve a good review . My local optician referred me to the eye hospital having noticed a large dark spot in my eye, the eye hospital did a quick check and said it needs further tests and that an appointment would come through within 8 weeks. I really couldn’t wait 8 weeks I was too anxious, so I sent an email to the Edgbaston eye clinic explaining the situation asking if they could look at my eye and at least provide some reassurance. Within half an hour I had a call from one of their consultants who explained on the phone what they could do to help diagnose the condition. Within an hour I was in his consulting room undergoing numerous tests with some of the most modern state of the art diagnostic equipment. The consultant reviewed the results and explained clearly his provisional diagnosis and what he considered my next steps should be. I went home and within two hours he had emailed me all the tests results. He also, with my consent, consulted other experts in this field and they all concurred with his proviaional diagnosis and what I should do next. The whole service from start to finish was incredible, the thorough way in which he explained everything gave me the reassurance that I needed and relieved me of having to wait 8 weeks. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Edgbaston eye clinic to anyone suffering from an eye condition Or anyone who just wants reassurance whilst waiting anxiously for an NHS appointment. Going privately is always a cost benefit consideration, the benefit in my situation significantly outweighed the cost and I was pleasantly surprised how affordable it was. Thank you so much to the Edgbaston eye clinic in particular to Don Williams the consultant optometrist – I’m extremely grateful”

“Thanks a million Don, after 6 months of unexplained pain and discomfort, finally i can sleep and go through my day, it is a life changing experience for me, thank you so much for being so diligent and caring”
Dr David Worth
“Our experience of eye treatment with Mr Don Williams has been ‘fantastic’ – without getting silly about our experience it has really been a sort of ‘life saver’. Over a period of several months he has been so caring whilst my wife has benefited from his very considerable skills and experience.
Our ‘journey’ (as it were) with Mr Williams began after two abortive emergency visits to the Birmingham Eye Hospital who did very good diagnoses of her eye problems but could not provide the emergency (on-the-spot) treatment my wife needed – The lower lid eye lashes had turned inwards on both eye and were scratching the eyes very painfully and causing infections. Mr Williams has done a brilliant job in removing offending eye lashes and dealing with the resulting infections, and inserting specialist contact type lenses to protect the eye: he also linked us to an eye surgeon for corrective operations. Mr William’s genuine care for my wife over a considerable period of time has been brilliant. In her initial visits he demonstrated what we felt was quite remarkable skill in painlessly ‘squeezing’ inflammation out of the lower lids .
We apologize for this rather ‘wordy’ review but we cannot give Mr Williams a high enough recommendation for his skills and his lovely patient care approach.
Dr David Worth and wife Barbara”

“I attended my appointment with Don Williams today after he had been extremely helpful following a retinal detachment earlier this year. Without being one of his existing patients, Don kindly helped arrange for me to see an eye surgeon and his recommendation was truly excellent. It was a privilege to finally meet him today and I immediately knew that he was a superb person to help me with my continued recovery following surgery in August. He was friendly, welcoming and demonstrated a fantastic expertise. When you are in a vulnerable situation with eyes, it’s so important to trust the person looking after you. Don was amazing. He answered questions clearly, gave advice and utilised the latest technology to help inform his judgements. The clinic was beautifully equipped with excellent technology and Don is evidently at the very top of his profession. In addition to this, he showed warmth and kindness. His compassion is indicative of an extremely caring person who fully understands the needs of his patients. I couldn’t rate the care I received today any higher. Thank you Don for your generosity, care and for being someone I am completely happy to place my trust in. Any patient would be lucky to have you looking after them. I know I will be forever grateful for your help this year”.

“Don Williams has practically saved my life! He’s helped me get my vision back!! He is incredibly intelligent, he knows every single thing there is to know about eyes. Don is very patient, very professional, very kind and brilliant at what he does! I have had blurred vision for over 2 months and I could hardly see.. I went to the Birmingham Eye Hospital twice and had 3 GP Doctor call backs and all they kept telling me was it was Dry Eye Syndrome?? And just kept advising me to buy different drops and none of them worked?! My husband found Edgbaston Eye Clinic online and we read the reviews.. they were amazing! I then called Edgbaston Eye Clinic and spoke to a lovely gentleman named Simon, he was very helpful. I am so glad I went to see Don as he listened to my eye problem very carefully, looked through my blood test results carefully and then fully examined my eyes. He explained I did not have Dry Eye Syndrome?? What I have is Giant Papillary Conjuactivitis and he explained it to me in detail and prescribed me with some strong eye drops containing steroids for 6 weeks yet already on the 2nd day.. I have noticed the difference and I can start to see clearly..again!! He also kindly gave me some night time drops aswel. He has asked to see me again in 1 weeks time to just make sure everything is ok with my eyes. I am extremely grateful to him! I highly reccommend him!! Thank you so much once again Don!”
