About

Michael Lowe & Partners was founded in 1981 by Michael Lowe and Bharat Aggarwal, establishing a trusted presence in the Oxfordshire optical community. After four decades of dedicated service, Michael Lowe retired in 2003, passing the practice into the capable hands of Dipak Solanki and Ashley Steele. Under their guidance, the practice has continued to flourish, including a significant refurbishment and expansion in October 2008, reflecting our commitment to growth, modernisation, and patient care. In January 2026 again due to our continued growth and demand we are moving to our new premises on Burford Road. This is a brand new unit refurbished to the highest of standards enabling us to provide the absolute best eyewear and eye care to our clients in comfortable surroundings. It truly is a place where fashion meets precision.

​

Today, our patients come from across Oxfordshire, the UK, and even internationally — from destinations as far afield as the USA, Australia, New Zealand, the Far East, and Ascension Island — many of whom return regularly for their eye examinations and eyewear.

​

At Michael Lowe Opticians, our mission is simple: to combine decades of experience and professional expertise with personalised service to provide exceptional eye care and high-quality eyewear at competitive prices whether it be high fashion, unique, exclusive or functional . We are also proud to guarantee that, for a “like-for-like” pair of complete glasses, you will not find the same quality at a lower price within a 30-mile radius. And if you do, simply let us know within 30 days, and we will match the price, no questions asked.
