Rachel Dacre

Dispensing Optician/Manager

Mark qualified as an optometrist in 1999. A passionate clinician with a clear eye for detail. Outside of Optometry, Mark enjoys spending time with Laura and their 2 children. The remainder of his spare time is spent outdoors, usually on his bike.

After qualifying as an Optometrist in 1979 Mrs Wilton established a practice in Dalton over 20 years ago and has seen it go from strength to strength. She has now reduced her workload having handed over the day to day running of the practice. This has given her more time to enjoy sailing and travelling the world, as well as concentrating on her charity work with Vision Aid Overseas.

Laura qualified as an optometrist in 1999 and has since prided herself in providing nothing less than clinical excellence to each of her clients. A passionate member of VAO, Laura has recently undergone the Volunteer Development Programme. She also loves to run, both road and trail but has not yet mustered the courage for a fell race. Watch this space!

Rachel started working in Optics in 1997, working her way up the ranks and qualifying as a Dispensing Optician in 2003. The same year she took her first Practice Manager position and has a wide range of knowledge and experience in all aspects of your optical experience be that frames, lenses or Contact lenses.
In her spare time she enjoys cooking, keeping fit and cycling (although the latter usually includes a stop or two in a pub!!)

Our Reviews

I am delighted to say that I am as thrilled with the aftercare that I receive from Vera Wilton Opticians, Dalton-in-Furness, as I was when I first became a client, over 5 years ago. They have a wonderful team, modern up to date equipment and staff can't do enough to help. I recently had a problem with one of my sons contact lens and he needed a replacement asap as he needed them for school, within 2 days i had a new lens delivered to the opticians for collection.
Keep up the good work.
