Who are we?

Optivet Referrals was opened in 2006 by Robert Lowe. Robert had been running a successful ophthalmology referral clinic as part of a first opinion practice. In order to improve the care and treatment of his patients and increase the range of services, he decided to move to new premises dedicated to referral work and away from the hustle and bustle of a general veterinary practice.

What services do we offer?

We perform an extensive range of ocular examinations and surgical procedures. We are able to test your pet's vision and undertake procedures such as cataract surgery using the latest equipment and techniques. Our commitment to your pet's health means we have invested in up to date equipment and we are able to offer techniques such as laser surgery for preventing retinal detachment.

Where are we based?
