Our Team
Principle Optometrist at Jacksons Opticians & Optometric Advisor to NHS Wales Shared Service Partnership (NWSSP). I have worn glasses since I was 9 when I started to become short sighted and struggled to see the blackboard in school. As I got older, I could never find frames that fitted me or gave the outward projection I wished to show the world – I felt that I radiated geek when what I wanted, was to look the height of style and sophistication! My eyewear did not reflect my personality and this made me unhappy. When I bought Jackson, I vowed to establish the practice as the go to place for eyewear that is stylish, comfortable and anything but DULL. A place where customers could come to find something that sang to their soul and left them feeling excited about wearing glasses. If you hate glasses or have never been able to find the perfect pair, Jacksons Opticians is the place for you. We source frames from all over the world to find quality niche eyewear that will fit you perfectly and make you feel fantastic. We are glasses wearers ourselves so we feel your pain! Practice Manager and Clinical Dispenser I have worked in Optometry for many years and joined Jacksons when I relocated the Cheshire from Cumbria. I have a degree in Business Management but have found my passion in frame styling. I am big on attention to detail. I enjoy a challenge and will leave no stone unturned to find you the perfect frame. Being quite petite, I understand how frustrating it can be when everything is too big and nothing fits properly. We carry hundreds in stock but also offer collections with bespoke ordering to make sure we get things exactly right. I promise we will find just the right frame for you! My favourite brand is Lindberg. I am in awe of how a frame can be so strong but weigh so little. I find them very comfortable and love the way it is possible to tweek sizing and colour in order to deliver just what my patients want. When not in work I like to be busy. When I came to Nantwich I bought a house which neede a lot of work and that has kept me out of mischief as I gradually get it looking the way I want it. I love my garden and I am a pretty good baker too! Clinical Lens Expert Being quite short sighted I really understand how it feels to be completely dependent on glasses or contact lenses. Because my prescription is strong, without thinning my lenses and choosing a suitable frame, my lenses are very thick and heavy. I really empathise with patients in a similar position and love helping them find the right frame and the right lenses to give them beautiful glasses that draw compliments and are comfortable to wear. Just because you have a large prescription, it does not mean that you cannot have lovely looking glasses. L.a Eyeworks are one of my favourite brands. I don’t think I have ever worn a more comefortable frame. And I love Ronit Furst – who wouldn’t love their colourful handpainted designs. I love travel and believe that you can never have too many pairs of sunglasses! I have been all over the world but still have places on my bucket list that I am intent on visiting. I love my garden and enjoy making it a great place for wildlife to visit. Contact Lens Practitoner & Dry Eye consultant I am contact lens practitioner and dry eye consultant at Jacksons. In addition to my in-practice clinical role, I design, and am a principal investigator in clinical trials.
