Andrew joined Aaron Optometrists in 1997.  During his time with the company he has developed an interest in all areas of primary eye care from spectacle glazing and ophthalmic dispensing to contact lens practice and optometry.

He gained his Fellowship of the Association of British Dispensing Opticians in 1998, and went on to specialise in contact lens practice.  Also he holds a First Class Honours Degree in Optometry and is a Member of the College of Optometrists. After studying at Glasgow Caledonian University and working in the Eye Casualty Department of the Royal Victoria infirmary, he also gained Independent Prescribing status. He has supervised both Dispensing and Contact Lens Optician students.

“What I enjoy about working at Aaron’s is the variety of work and the massive investment in new technology which assists in checking the health of my patients eyes.  Also being in an independent practice allows me to utilise the best lenses from any manufacturer without commercial pressures.”

Andrew’s areas of interest are:

• Contact Lenses – especially astigmatism and presbyopic (bifocal conditions)
• Coloured Overlay/lens assessments for reading difficulties
• Primary eye care examination.
