T. Mike Nicholas, O.D.

Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. T. Michael Nicholas, better known by his patients as “Dr. Nick”, has been providing optometric care to his patients for 42 plus years. After earning an undergraduate degree in zoology from Central State University in Edmond, OK in 1968, he went on to attend Indiana University in Bloomington, where he received his doctorate degree of optometry in 1972.

Returning to Oklahoma in 1973, Dr. Nick began building his practice in Hennessey, OK, where he, along with the help of his wife, Joan, opened his first optometry clinic. In 1979, Dr. Nick moved his practice from Hennessey to Enid Eye Clinic, Inc.; where he continued to provide optometry services to his patients until 2003. In addition to his practice in Enid, Dr. Nicholas and Joan formed Nicholas Eye Clinic and Optical Shop in Kingfisher, OK. Dr. Nick divided his time between the two clinic locations from 2000 to 2003. Nicholas Eye Clinic and Optical Shop was moved to its current location of 1204 W. Willow, Suite A in 2004, where he continues to practice, alongside his son, Thomas M. Nicholas, II, O.D.

When not dedicating his time at the clinic, Dr. Nick enjoys spending time with Joan and their family. An experienced pilot, he also loves flying with his son, Tom, in their Cessna 172 Skyhawk and working on projects in his wood shop.
