Regular examinations are important not only to make sure your vision is at its best but also as a health check that can help detect anything from diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and diseases of the eye, majority of which can be treated if caught early. We also have the latest Retinal Imaging equipment that can help catch and monitor any findings with great accuracy.

At Michael Lowe & Partners our examinations are tailored for your individual needs as there are over one hundred ways of checking the eyes. We take a detailed history and note certain requirements whether it be for general viewing or specific tasks. This way we can advise you of the best possible solutions for your visual needs. We will explain our findings and fully answer any questions you may have regarding you eyes so that you have a full understanding.

One of the main reasons why our patients return to us year on year is that our eye examinations are carried out by the same fully qualified resident Optometrist they have been seeing for years and glasses dispensed by the same Dispensing Optician. We believe that this gives us a better understanding of your eyes and helps us meets your visual needs better.
