Michael Lowe Opticians Independent Opticians offering exquisitely tailored eyewear, expert styling and 500+ advanced lens solutions.

Showcasing heritage, design-led brands and fine craftsmanship, we deliver unhurried, personalised eye care in a calm, luxurious setting. Michael Lowe & Partners was established in 1981 by Michael Lowe and Bharat Aggarwal. After 40 years of work in the optical profession Michael Lowe decided to take retirement in 2003 when Dipak Solanki and Ashley Steele took over the practise. Since then the practise has had a major refurbishment and extension in October 2008 due to its growth. Our patient base includes people locally, nationally and internationally to people as far afield as America, Ascension islands, the far east and even Australia and New Zealand, who return to see us when they are due a check. Our aim is use our years of experience and expertise to offer you great quality eye care and eye wear at the best possible price. In fact we guarantee that 'like for like' you will not find the same pair of complete glasses for the same price at another Optician within a 30 mile radius. However, If you do within 30 days of your purchase, we will simply match the price.

❤️ FIRST AID TRAINING FOR THE TEAM ❤️

Today we took a little time out for something really important — First Aid training for the whole team at Michael Lowe Opticians.

Hopefully it’s something we’ll never actually need to use, but it’s so important to know what to do if an emergency ever happens.

There was lots of learning, plenty of practical practice and, of course, a few laughs along the way! 😊

It was great to see everyone getting involved and taking it seriously — another little thing we can do to make sure we’re looking after our team and our patients as best we can. ❤️

And a big thank you to Sam at Oxfordshire First Aid for delivering the training. You made it really informative, practical and enjoyable, and kept everyone engaged throughout. 👏❤️

Last week, we officially celebrated a brand-new chapter for Michael Lowe Opticians! 🥂✨

It was an incredible afternoon as we officially opened the doors to our stunning new premises - now a state of the art, purpose built, and highly accessible practice following our successful relocation. From the official ribbon-cutting with Madam Mayor, Councillor Mead, to the non-stop energy from our reps and staff, the support from the Carterton, Witney and all the surrounding village communities was truly overwhelming.

We loved seeing so many of you exploring the new space, meeting the team from The Hearing Care Partnership, and discovering a fresh perspective on eye and ear health.

A huge congratulations again to our VIP prize draw winners! 🎁
