As an independent optician, we offer a genuinely personal service that chains simply cannot match. You'll see the same optometrist at every visit, your appointments are unhurried (typically 30 minutes vs 15 at chains), and we'll never pressure you to buy new glasses or upgrades you don't need. We've served Wythenshawe for 90 years — our reputation is everything to us.

Adults should typically have an eye test every two years. However, if you're over 70, have a family history of eye disease, or have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, we recommend annual check-ups. Children should be tested every year. An eye test doesn't just check your vision — it can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and even high blood pressure.
