Our Story
The Lytham practice was established back in 1994 and after moving to it's current location on Park Street Drew Thompson took over creating the current family business, Thompson & Hardwick Optometrists. Drew is passionate about professional eye care and quality of service as well as eye wear products, having over 20 years experience in both private and NHS practice. Together with his wife, Podiatrist, Louise they have fostered a true family business and are heavily involved in both the clinical and retail aspects of the business.
