"Top service eye clinic. I went to other hospitals and they could not find the eye issue. I got photos taken here and the doctor kindly explained my symptoms and within 2 days of the prescribed treatment I feel relief. Would highly recommend as if I didn’t find this place I would be constantly worrying about why my eyes were not getting better."

"On vacation and had an emergent eye issue. I walked into this clinic and everyone was welcoming and helpful. I was able to be seen and receive a prescription in less than an hour. Very grateful for their help."

"Our family relocated to Lisbon in 2025 and one of our top priorities has been finding new doctors and clinics to support our ongoing healthcare needs. We were referred to CPO - Clínica Privada de Oftalmologia. Yesterday, I had my first appointment for a routine eye exam and I could not have been more pleased with the quality of care and by the state-of-the-art facilities of the clinic. The clinic staff from the receptionists, technicians, and the doctor I met with were highly professional, efficient, and friendly. And as my Portuguese language skills are currently at an elementary level, I also greatly appreciated that everyone spoke very good English and there were no issues whatsoever with a language barrier. The appointment itself went like clockwork. It started on time, the technician was very efficient and helpful in administering the tests, and the doctor was very thoughtful and helpful with his assessment and recommendations. All in all it was a very positive experience, so I can recommend CPO - Clínica Privada de Oftalmologia without reservation."

"The doctor I had a consultation with was kind and seemed knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience felt very unprofessional and disorganised. Communication was poor, especially over email and I had to follow up multiple times myself. If you decide to go here , be sure to ask for a clear breakdown of all costs in advance including any additional fees. However, based on my overall experience I would not recommend this clinic."

"My overall experience with CPO Lisbon was great. They are well organized, I am impressed by doctor Neves and team. The operation was on a different location nearby, but also there an outstanding staff with a very personal and professional approach. Outcome of operation is only known in two weeks, but I am positive about the process (Typed with one finger and one eye only;))"
