A Full Eyecare Service
At Oldbury & Cruickshank Opticians we feel it is essential to provide a full eyecare service. In our new Macclesfield premises we are able to extend our role in providing help for those needing Low Vision Aids, sufferers from dry eyes plus Jean Oldbury has a special interest in helping patients with specific learning difficulties including dyslexia. The existing eyecare services for patients with diabetes and glaucoma remain available with the addition of new tests such as retinal photography and nerve fiber layer analysis. If you have any questions regarding these services please contact the practice.
Oldbury & Cruickshank believe it is essential to provide you with quality eye care. This means we will discuss your individual needs, examine your eyes thoroughly, use modern equipment, answer your questions and offer you a wide choice of attractive eyewear if required. We also believe in offering excellent value on spectacles and contact lenses.
The move to our current practice...
To support our commitment to quality, we moved our Macclesfield practice to 73 Pickford Street in August 2000. Only a few yards away from the old site, the new practice has more space and improved facilities. There are now four fully equipped high tech consulting rooms, a larger selection of over 700 fashion frames with computer-assisted selection to help you see which style suits you best.
Although the surroundings have changed, many patients will still recognise the people. Jackie is our bubbly practice manager and, along with other reception staff, has attended training courses on technical skills and customer care. Jennifer is now primarily involved in undertaking addtional clinical tests and organises the diabetic clinics. These clinical tests include visual Fields, retinal photography and GDx scans.
Paul, Clare, Tracey and Jackie are responsible for the dispensing of spectacles. They make sure your new glasses are stunning on you and feel comfortable as well as meeting your requirements. Providing further support are optical assistants Mandy, Shelly, Marie and Laura. Mandy is our contact lens champion so if you have any queries about contact lenses ask "our Mandy".
Our expert glazing technician Tania is on hand most days to make your new glasses as soon as possible and Jenny works hard in our offices to keep on top or our admin and direct debits.
When you visit the new practice, your eyes will be examined by one of our Optometric team. This consists of Nigel and Jean Oldbury, Dr. Kevin Cass, Kelly Lewis, Ruth Oldfield, Heidi Behnam and Kate Day. In 1998 Nigel Oldbury became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, whilst attending the annual conference in San Francisco and in 2000 gained one of the first Diplomas in Therapeutics awarded to Optometrists in the UK.
As well as providing general eye care, Oldbury & Cruickshank specialise in vision problems caused by diabetes, glaucoma and dyslexia. Jean Oldbury has a particular interest in dyslexia and photosensitive migraine, both of which affect the eyesight of sufferers. Our practice is often able to treat the visual effects of dyslexia through special eye exercises, coloured overlays and tinted lenses. Using an instrument called a colourimeter, we can identify the most effective tints for spectacles for suitable patients.
Whatever your visual requirements, youll find everyone at Oldbury & Cruickshank is dedicated to keeping your eyesight in the best possible condition at all times. If you have any questions or concerns about your vision, please dont hesitate to contact us.
