Dr. Mark Jackson began his career after graduating from Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, TN at the Wal-Mart Vision Center in Columbus, NE.   He opened the Fort Collins Wal-Mart Vision Center in 2001 and has enjoyed the community and people of the Front Range. He was asked in 2004 to provide optometric services at the Loveland Wal-Mart Vision Center. In April 2009, Jackson Eye Care moved the Loveland Office to the Timnath Wal-Mart Vision Center.   Now, Jackson Eye Care is located in both the Fort Collins Walmart near Old Town as well as right next to Poudre Valley Hospital.  Dr Jackson has “planted roots” in Fort Collins by getting involved with Fort Collins Breakfast Rotary and sponsoring local sporting teams. He is the Official Optometrist of the Fort Collins Foxes baseball team and the Official Sponsor of the Colorado Eagles hockey referees.

You can find him at Fort Collins Wal-Mart Vision Center near Old Town or out supporting the local community. He enjoys spending time with his family and friends going to hockey games, barbecues, or enjoying the Colorado outdoors.
