Clinical Care Team

When you visit the practice, your eyes will be examined by one of our Optometric team. This consists of Nigel and Jean Oldbury, Ruth Oldfield, Heidi Behnam, Michael Bradbury and Alex Rigby. 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.
