Michael Lowe Opticians

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 pract

ise 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.

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! 🎁

Thank you to everyone who made our relaunch so special. If you haven't stopped by to see the new look yet, our doors are open and the team is ready to welcome you. 👓👂
