An optician who has served and styled some of Liverpool's most famous eyes is celebrating 50 years at his city centre practice.
Ian Silverberg's journey into optics began as soon as he turned 13 in April 1972, when his dad Harold, who established Silverberg Opticians in 1957, told him he would start working in the family business on Saturdays. The deal being that he would work for his dad on a Saturday, but then could go to the Liverpool match in the afternoon.
Now 63, Ian has maintained Silverberg Opticians' reputation as one of the most respected practices in the city from its current location on Whitechapel, near the Met Quarter.
