Andrew Keirl is both an Optometrist and a Dispensing Optician and has been working in optics for longer than he cares to remember. His career actually started way back in 1979 as a student Dispensing Optician in Somerset and he often recalls the fact that his first job was to sweep the pavement outside the practice!
Following qualification as a Dispensing Optician he worked as a practice manager before qualifying as an Optometrist. For many years Andrew was a Senior Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge teaching optometry and ophthalmic dispensing to undergraduate students. Andrew is the proprietor of Andrew Keirl Opticians in Liskeard and is passionate about eyecare and is proud to be an independent Optician.

Services
The content of an eye examination and the equipment used will vary from patient to patient. We are proud to boast some of the latest optometry equipment within the practice and are often asked by patients what the kit does. So here's a brief explanation of what some of the equipment does along with a brief overview of some of the services offered by Andrew Keirl Opticians in Liskeard.
An eye examination can detect a number of common underlying health problems such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. An eye examination determines whether your eyesight would benefit from correction with spectacles and determines the best form of correction for your vision and lifestyle. Failing eyesight is often taken for granted as people get older.
It is now recognised that a child who has a vision problem may struggle at school and fall behind with essential skills such as reading. All children should therefore have a sight test before they start school. At Andrew Keirl Opticians in Liskeard we can perform a useful sight test on children from the age of about two years although we have examined children who are only six months old!
Dry eye is a multifactorial disease of the tears & ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance & tears instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. There are numerous products and treatment regimens available which can offer significant relief to dry eye sufferers and help repair damage caused by dry eye.
Andrew Keirl Opticians in Liskeard are pleased to be a Hoya Specialist Optician. However, we can obtain spectacle lenses from all the major lens suppliers including Zeiss, Essilor, Rodenstock and Norville. As well as giving you clear vision, the design and materials used in modern lenses make a big contribution to the flattering appearance of today's spectacles.

Excellent service from a skilled professional. I only visited for a check-up and don't require glasses so can't comment on post care.
The checkup itself was professionally booked, managed and delivered. Brilliant service throughout and would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you very much Andrew and team!

Hi Andrew,
For those of us who have reached that age when we navigate our way through life by reference to public toilets rather than public houses as signposts, could I suggest that your website would be yet further enhanced by directions and distance:
a. From the nearest of the former before our appointment.
b. To the nearest of the latter after our appointment.
'a' would be really useful, whilst 'b' I leave to your discretion.
See you shortly. coming from 'a' as advised by your excellent receptionist. I shall be carrying my 'healthiest' credit card.
Sta Kool And Karry A Beagle,
John
