Clive graduated from the University of Ulster in 2008 & shortly after became a member of the College of Optometrists. In 2011 he completed a postgraduate diploma in the theory of Cataract & Refractive Surgery whilst continuing to practice in both primary & secondary care settings.

Further experience was gained within the Hospital Optometry Service from 2012 – 2015 as Clive undertook Paediatric Refraction, Low Vision & Contact Lens Clinics, Macular Service Clinics & Adult Low Vision & Contact Lens Clinics.

In 2015 Clive returned to independent practice primarily in his hometown of Ballymena. In recent years he has further benefited from experience within a highly successful new practice in Belfast & has felt drawn to bring this positive optical experience to the town he grew up in.

With a wealth of optical knowledge, Clive is excited to open his own practice in Galgorm with a focus on a personal & welcoming touch for each & every individual who chooses to entrust him with their eyecare & eyewear needs.

As a fully qualified Dispensing Optician with over 35 years of optical experience, I have honed my skills, and I am delighted to be able to share that. I am an extrovert who loves her job, so I hope people can feel that enthusiasm.
In my spare time I volunteer for a local based Christian Charity called ‘Friends of Vispa’ – within this I use my optical knowledge to help run an Eye Clinic in Kisumu Kenya, the clinic runs once a year and I have been doing this since 2016. I am deeply passionate about bringing the gift of sight both physically and spiritually to those who could not otherwise avail.

I have been with Clive Fulton Eyecare since the practice opened in April ’24. Having lived just a ‘stones throw’ away for 31 years, I enjoy seeing familiar faces coming in and having a chat. I love my frames & have nearly as many pairs of specs as I have shoes! I really enjoy assisting those attending the practice to find the frame that’s best for them, whether neat & subtle or bright & bold.
In my spare time, I enjoy going to spin classes and I’ve recently taken up running & like starting my Saturday mornings at the local park run.

I’m the newest addition to the Clive Fulton Eyecare team & have a strong background in optics having trained & worked in the field for many years. I love helping our patients find the perfect frame and seeing the difference the perfect pair of specs’ can make to someone’s life.
When I’m not in work I am running around after my toddler who is full of energy and keeps me on my toes. Family time is so important to me & I really enjoy getting away with the family on short trips around the North Coast or holidays further afield.
