Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise the latest OCT scanning and digital retinal photography technology to assess both vision and eye health. Each 30-minute appointment includes detailed analysis of ocular structures and early detection of potential conditions. Patients receive expert advice on corrective solutions tailored to their specific visual requirements.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens assessments for all prescription types, including astigmatism and multifocal corrections. Our independent opticians fit leading brands like Alcon and provide ongoing aftercare support. Patients receive training on proper handling and maintenance techniques for optimal comfort and eye health.
Stylish Frames
Our extensive frame collection includes designer brands like Jimmy Choo and Vivienne Westwood alongside practical options. All frames include single vision lenses in their base price, with expert fitting assistance from qualified dispensing opticians. We stock lightweight titanium and memory-metal frames for enhanced comfort and durability.
OCT Scans
Our optical coherence tomography system provides 3D retinal imaging for early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. This non-invasive scan forms part of our premium eye examinations and creates permanent records for monitoring eye health changes over time.
Dry Eye Clinics
Specialist assessments address dry eye and blepharitis symptoms through tailored treatment plans. We provide advanced products like Eye Bag therapy and personalised management strategies. These private clinics offer solutions for chronic discomfort and meibomian gland dysfunction not covered by standard NHS services.

Report
I used to get a yearly reminder for an eye test, I don't expect a letter anymore but a text would do. I am on treatment for raised IOP but no reminder in last two years. I really will have to go to Specsavers. Thank you for your 15 plus years of help.

If you do care about your eye health and your eye sight, this optician if for you! They've been looking after my sight since my childhood and always the same staff ever since. I'm more than happy to recommend this optician.

I've been coming here for years, having been recommended by a friend. Staff are always pleasant and I have absolute confidence in Mr. Akbar. He "picked up" a problem which needed treatment over several years at the Royal Manchester Eye Hospital. Consultations are always unhurried and thorough with up-to-date equipment.

This is the best opticians I have attended. The care and facilities are excellent. The optician is painstaking in both extensive examinations and explanation. The range of frames doesn't seem to be extensive at first sight but the selection is much better than larger opticians. Also, the person who assists with choice of frames is very skilled at analysing face shapes and colouring.
