McDowell Opticians – Belfast

About

At McDowell Opticians in Belfast, we believe in offering personalised eye care that puts the patient first. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to provide each person with the best possible solution for their eye care needs in a setting that is both trustworthy and welcoming. We combine professional excellence with a strong focus on style and affordability.

The practice has a long history in the local community. When optometrist Richard Morwood took over in 2000, McDowell Opticians was already a well-established and respected name. Since then, Richard has maintained the practice’s reputation through his commitment to high standards of clinical care and his personal approach with every patient.

Unlike many larger chains, we do not treat our patients as just another appointment in the diary. We value each individual and make time to listen, assess and recommend solutions tailored to your specific needs. This patient-first approach defines our ethos and sets us apart.

Services

Our comprehensive range of services is designed to meet the varied eye care needs of the Belfast community. Whether it’s a routine check-up or urgent treatment, we are here to help.

• Eye Examinations: We offer detailed eye tests using the latest diagnostic equipment. Every appointment is thorough and unhurried, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

• Independent Prescribing: Richard Morwood holds a diploma in Independent Prescribing. This means he can treat and prescribe medication for many common eye conditions such as dry eye, conjunctivitis and more, without delay.

• Emergency Eye Care: In case of an eye-related emergency, Richard can either treat the issue immediately or make a fast and accurate referral to hospital services. This helps patients avoid unnecessary waiting times in A&E.

• Eyewear Solutions: We stock a wide range of stylish and affordable frames. From classic designs to modern styles, there is something to suit every personality and budget.
