The Petticrew family have been looking after eyes in Northern Ireland since 1887 - one of the longest established family practices in the UK. Andrew says, It is something a bit special for me, to have the opportunity to practice the uncompromising way I feel it should be done, in a family business which was started by my great-grandad. I am the luckiest man in the world.
I jump out of bed in the morning and look forward to my work! Tragic really, isn't it. Sara (Andrew's sister) says "Having grown up from no age in a world of eyes, glasses and contact lenses, being back in practice feels a little like "coming home". Great to be here, catching up with all our patients, and keeping an eye on my little brother at the same time!
Over 12,000 people in Northern Ireland have entrusted us with their eye care. We cherish the reputation and loyalty we have built over the past century and pride ourselves in having patients that live all over the world, from Albuquerque to Zimbabwe. Andrew Petticrew is the fourth generation of Petticrew looking after eyes - his father, grandfather and great grandfather have worked with eyes and spectacles.

Children's eye care is extremely important.
Using a number of special techniques we can get almost as much information about their eyes as we can about an adult's.
A common question parents ask is, "When should my child have their first eye examination?"
The truth is that they are never too young to have an eye examination.
We can get really useful information from day one.
On a routine basis, once per year every year from age three or younger if you notice anything unusual.
We see people every day who have permanent vision loss due to not having had regular eye tests as a child.

We pride ourselves in giving experienced, impartial advice on all types of refractive surgery, (not just LASIK).
Most importantly, we feel that the decision to have surgery must be an educated one, so a thorough assessment of the visual system is performed and easily understood advice is given.
Unfortunately not all surgeons have equally good results so we try to steer you in the right direction about that too.
Finally, if the decision to have surgery is made, we take a series of precise pre and post-operative measurements to verify that the surgery has been completely successfully.
