Edel McElholm Opticians practices are in Downpatrick and Kircubbin. We offer expertise in provision of eye care, spectacle supply and contact lens supply, and have our own on-site laboratory in both practices. We pride ourselves in having the latest innovative technology in both practices and are able to offer OCT scanning as part of this service.

Hi, I'm Edel, I've had my own practice since 1992.
I qualified from City University London in 1986 and have enjoyed all of my career to date.
As practice owner, I believe that success in independent optometry can only come with the offer of a great personal service, and thorough profe.
I have been an optometrist at Edel McElholm's for several years.
I qualified from Cardiff University and since that time I have always worked in private independent practice.
My career started in Moorfields Eye Hospital London, where I completed my pre-registration y.

Following completion of my BSc Optometry Degree in City University, London in 1986, I worked for eight years in independent practice in Edinburgh and then in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland.
Our Downpatrick practice was opened in 1996, quickly followed by the opening of a second practice in Kircubbin, Co. Down in 2001.
The practices have won many awards to date, to include UK's most fashionable practice and UK's best marketing practice.
We have had much success to date and I attribute this success to a strong customer focus and a team of very competent optometrists, supported by equally competent support staff, offering a high level of expertise.

CHILDREN, under 16, are eligible to have a FREE eye test provided by the NHS, and if spectacles are required, the NHS helps pay towards the cost of these too.
TEENAGERS under the age of 18 can also have a FREE eye test if they are in full time education and at McElholms there are a fantastic selection of spectacles as well as contact lenses for most prescriptions.
As an ADULT it is important to have regular checks on your eye health - there can be changes within the eye without noticing any signs or symptoms.

Established in 1996, our award winning "UK's Most Fashionable" practice offers a comprehensive, friendly eye care service.
It is located in the heart of the town, with good car parking facilities nearby.
Its two clinical rooms and on-site laboratory are equipped to the highest standard.
In 2016, we invested in the latest retinal scanning equipment and are able to offer the region's first Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to our patients, outside of the hospital service.
We aim to be very professional in all aspects of eye care so that our patients feel confident that they are receiving the best quality eye care and the very latest of trends in both contact lenses and glasses.

In McElholms we love to fit contact lenses.
Edel, owner of McElholms, is a keen contact lens wearer.
Contact lenses bring 'FREEDOM' to spectacle wearers and we believe that those should at least once experience vision without spectacles.
We believe that age is not a barrier and have fitted young children as well as ripened adults!
Contact lenses can be great fun to wear for a different look and are a major advantage for sports.
Although many children love to wear their spectacles, others don't, and they will gain great confidence from their new non bespectacled look.
