Specialists in eyecare and hearing care.
We are an independent optician and audiology group with six practices across Greater Manchester and Lancashire. Eye examinations, hearing assessments, wax removal, contact lenses, frames and lenses — all of it under one roof, and all of it given the time it takes rather than the time a diary allows.
Eyewear
Independent and designer frames, fitted and glazed to your prescription in practice.

Hearing Care & Audiology
Complimentary hearing assessments and discreet, modern hearing aids — because your hearing deserves the same care as your sight.

Choosing frames is harder than it looks, and a wall of them does not help. Our eyewear stylists narrow the room down to a handful worth trying, tell you plainly when something is not working, and leave the decision with you. Nobody will hurry you.
