Employer details
Ralph, the son of Dartford jeweller-optician George Linklater, did not want to join the family firm so after qualifying in 1928 set up his own practice in Bexleyheath. In time his reputation grew and the firm expanded to three practices with several partners. Ralph always worked in the Bexleyheath practice retiring in the mid 1980s. His son Geoff initially rejected optics to become a surveyor, but subsequently re-qualified as an optometrist. Geoff worked alongside his father and Dennis King and together they developed a strong clinical reputation. Gordon Ilett and his business partners bought the practice in 1988, with Gordon becoming sole proprietor in 2005. Geoff Linklater and Dennis King continued to work alongside Gordon, before Geoff moved away to the West Country, and two years later Dennis King retired. The clinical reputation of the practice has continued to grow offering diabetic retinopathy screening, direct cataract and macular disease referral, is part of the paediatric refraction scheme and has close links to local GPs and hospitals. Gordon and his team also have an interest in patients with learning disabilities and work closely with Bexley Social Services, and have helped produce educational videos on this subject for both the College of Optometrists and The RNIB. The Practice also has an interest in specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. Investment in the latest digital imaging equipment and computerised test charts means the practice is equipped to face the challenges of the 21st century. Of course all this equipment would be of little use without our well qualified optometrists many of whom trained at Moorfields as well as in private practice, and all continue to update their skills on a regular basis.Contact details
