Liz and Tom Jackson are celebrating 30 years of running their family-owned opticians in Oakwood, Derby. The couple opened Oakwood Eyecare in 1994, after working as optometrists for other companies. They wanted to offer a more personal and professional service to their customers, and to create a friendly and welcoming environment.
Since then, Oakwood Eyecare has grown to become one of the most trusted and respected opticians in the area, serving generations of patients and families. Liz and Tom have also expanded their team, which now includes their son James, who joined the business as an optometrist in 2019, and their daughter Sophie, who works as a receptionist.
Oakwood Eyecare offers a range of eyecare services and products
Oakwood Eyecare provides a range of eyecare services and products, including eye examinations, contact lenses, glasses, sunglasses, and accessories. The opticians also offers specialist services, such as dry eye clinics, glaucoma screening, diabetic retinopathy screening, and macular degeneration screening. Oakwood Eyecare uses the latest technology and equipment, such as digital retinal photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual field testing, to ensure the best possible care for their customers.
Oakwood Eyecare also prides itself on its selection of frames and lenses, which cater to different tastes, budgets, and needs. The opticians stocks a variety of brands, such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Ted Baker, Joules, and Silhouette, as well as independent and exclusive labels, such as William Morris, Wolf Eyewear, and Maui Jim. Oakwood Eyecare also offers a bespoke service, where customers can design their own frames and lenses, with the help of the staff.
