The Chakshu London Team

  Expert care with a personal touch - meet the team at Chakshu London Opticians

MAYA PATEL BSc (Hons)

Optometrist & Co-Founder


Maya co-founded Chakshu London to bring together clinical excellence and boutique eyewear. Highly short-sighted from a young age, she understands the challenges patients face and is especially passionate about myopia control in children.

Now primarily in an administrative role, Maya supports the practice behind the scenes, though patients may still see her occasionally in the testing room. From 2018 to 2023, she also led the Eyecare Service for Crisis at Christmas, organising vision care for people experiencing homelessness.

Outside of work, she enjoys travelling and drawing, interests that reflect her curiosity and creativity.

SURBHI JOSHI BSc (Hons) 

Optometrist & Co-Founder


Surbhi is known for her perfectionist nature, where small details matter. Methodical in both testing and consultations, she thrives on challenges — from complex prescriptions to personal goals. Alongside practising as an optometrist, she enjoys the creative side of building the Chakshu brand.

She has also run the London Marathon in support of Vision Care for Homeless People, a charity Chakshu London proudly supports in-store. In her spare time, Surbhi enjoys long walks, travelling, and dancing

NUND VYAS BSc (Hons) MCOptom

Optometrist & Co-Founder


Nund has been fascinated by science since childhood and has worn glasses from the age of thirteen. With a keen eye for spectacle frames, his collection spans everything from the weird and wonderful to the classic.

He has a special interest in cataracts, glaucoma, and minor eye conditions, having completed additional postgraduate training in these areas. He has also supervised trainee optometrists, guiding them through their assessments.

Outside of work, Nund enjoys sports, resistance training, and yoga meditation — always bringing energy and positivity to those around him.

Matei is currently training to qualify as a Dispensing Optician, building on his extensive background in optics and his passion for delivering personalised care. His expertise and approachable nature make the process of choosing eyewear both reassuring and enjoyable for every patient.
