The Partners in the practice are
Tim Bowden FADO (Hons) C.L., FFDO,

is a contact lens optician who has specialised in contact lens fitting and aftercare
for over 30 years, having started in optics over 40
years ago. He is a visiting lecturer in the contact lens
department of City and Islington College in London and
is also a contact lens examiner for the Association of
British Dispensing Opticians. He has been involved in
various research projects, mainly in the areas of the
habits and opinions of contact lens wearers, and also
the history of contact lenses. He has published widely
and presented posters and lectures both in the UK and
abroad. He serves on the GOC Fitness to Practise Panel
and the Kent Local Optical Committee and was awarded
associate membership of the International Society of
Contact Lens Specialists in 2006, becoming a full member

Elisabeth Lowe BSc FBCO. Elisabeth
is an Optometrist with over 30 years' experience
graduating from London's City University in 1973. Her
optical interests include colour vision, ocular muscle
balance and dry eyes.
The partners previously owned two very successful practices in Gravesend and Herne Bay in Kent.
Both very much believe in what are now considered the old fashioned values of care and quality of service, and put these before consideration of profits. Both regularly attend conferences, in the UK and abroad, to ensure that they keep abreast of the latest developments in contact lenses and eye care.
The partners and Elaine, our optical assistant, look forward to being of assistance to you and are happy to help with any queries or concerns.
