Oakwood Eyecare was founded in 1994 by Liz and Tom Jackson and has proudly served our community for over three decades. In 2023, their friend and business partner, Dr Farra Hargreaves, joined the practice. Dr Hargreaves brought with her over 20 years of experience in community and hospital work, glaucoma and emergency care, and directorship at the NHS. At the end of 2025, after 31 years of dedicated service, the Jacksons decided to wind down and passed ownership to Farra, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter built on the heritage of world-class patient care for which Oakwood Eyecare is known.

 

Oakwood Eyecare remains focussed on delivering fantastic patient care, exceptional clinical assessments and treatments, beautiful and unique glasses, and of course high quality lenses. All this in a friendly, professional, and personalised environment, ensuring our patients are never numbers, but our friends.  Over the years, we have become more than a place for eye tests — we have grown into a warm, reliable, community‑first practice where generations of local families feel known, cared for, and supported.
