Our Philosophy
Eyewear as Art
In 1988, Wilson Optical became the first optical boutique in Northeast Florida — embracing a movement that dared to see eyewear not as a medical necessity, but as an extension of who you are. We curate frames the way a gallery curates art: with intention, with taste, and with a deep respect for the individual.
Every frame on our floor is there because it deserves to be. Every patient who walks through our door leaves looking — and seeing — their very best.
Stop in during office hours for a consultation and we'll get you seeing and looking your best again.
What We Offer
Complete Eye Care
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Thorough, unhurried examinations tailored to your vision needs and overall eye health — from routine prescriptions to detection of ocular conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Boutique Eyewear Selection
A hand-curated collection of distinctive frames from independent designers and storied European houses. If your glasses should say something about you, ours will.
Contact Lens Fitting
Expert fitting for contacts of every type — daily disposables, extended wear, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal options. We find what works for your eyes, not just your prescription.
Frame Repairs & Adjustments
Whether your frames need a simple adjustment for a better fit or a more involved repair, our experienced opticians handle it all in-house. We service frames purchased at Wilson Optical as well as frames from other providers.
Prescription Sunwear
Premium polarized and prescription sunglasses including the latest in transitions (changeable lenses). UV protection that doesn't ask you to sacrifice style.
Ocular Disease Management
Dr. Wilson holds certifications as a prescriber of ocular and oral drugs from the Florida Board of Optometry — offering co-management of conditions beyond routine vision care.
Our Optometrist
Roger L. Wilson, O.D.
Doctor of Optometry · Owner
- Southern College of Optometry, Memphis TN — 1991
- Florida Board of Optometry — Certified Prescriber
Dr. Wilson opened his optometry practice with Wilson Optical in 1991. He carries forward a family legacy that began when his father Frank Wilson co-founded the company in 1957. Like every Wilson before him, he started in the lab — learning the craft from the ground up before earning his doctorate at the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee.
Beyond clinical excellence, Dr. Wilson is deeply committed to his patients and community. Patients describe him as personable, caring, and thorough.
Book with Dr. WilsonOur Story
NE Florida's Oldest Optical
After serving in World War II, brothers Frank and Ralph Wilson began optical careers producing lenses in a downtown Jacksonville lab. They became among the first opticians licensed by the State of Florida — and in 1957, launched Wilson & Wilson Opticians. Nearly seven decades later, Wilson Optical remains the oldest optical company in Northeast Florida and one of the oldest in the nation.
