Great service doesn’t end when you collect your glasses.

At Manchester Optical, aftercare is all part of what we do. If your frames need adjusting, your glasses feel slightly loose, or something just isn’t sitting quite right, pop back in and we’ll take a look.

Sometimes it’s the smallest tweak that makes the biggest difference to comfort.

Choosing a local, independent practice means you’re not on your own once you’ve walked out with your new glasses. We’re here whenever you need us!

No appointment needed - just call in and we’ll sort it.

Can’t get to our store? We’ll come to you!

Our FREE home visit service is now available across Greater Manchester, bringing a full range of frames directly to your door. You’ll see the same styles, the same prices and receive the same expert advice you would in our Ashton shop - just from the comfort of home.

We can also collect your existing frames for re-glazing if your prescription has changed.

All you need is a valid prescription (within the last two years) and we’ll take care of the rest.

To arrange your home visit, call 0161 343 4064 or 07500 936428 and we’ll book you in.

Need new glasses sooner than expected?

With our on-site lab, many prescriptions can be made the very same day. Simply bring your valid prescription, browse our range, from budget frames starting at £30 to designer styles, and once you’ve chosen, we’ll take care of the rest.

While your glasses are being prepared, you’re free to grab a coffee and relax. In some cases, they can be ready in as little as 30 minutes for stock single lenses. During busier periods and with complex prescriptions, it may take a little longer, but we’ll always keep you updated.

Pop in and see how straightforward it can be!

We couldn’t resist a bit of Valentine’s silliness today! 💕

Are you:
🔹 Bold and colourful
🔹 Classic and neutral

Your glasses say more than you think…which one are you? 👓

Sometimes less really is more!

Rimless glasses are a great choice if you want something lightweight, understated and easy to wear. They're perfect if you don’t want your frames to distract from you!

If you’re curious to try rimless styles, pop in and see us or, with our FREE home visit service, we can even bring a selection straight to your door. Same expert advice, just a little more convenient. Just call us on 0161 343 4064 to get started.

Sometimes it’s the little details that make all the difference!

These beautifully crafted frames feature subtle pops of blue, orange and white within the design - refined, interesting and easy to wear every day.

Priced at £60 including stock single lenses, they’re proof that standout frames don’t need to come with a big price tag!

And if you need them quickly, you could even have them ready the same day thanks to our on-site lab.

Did you know Oakley isn’t just about sunglasses? Their everyday glasses bring the same quality, comfort and sporty design you’d expect - built to handle real life.

Lightweight, durable and easy to wear all day, they’re a great choice if you like a more active, modern look without going full performance mode!

➡️ And if getting into store isn’t easy right now, don't forget, we can now even bring Oakley frames to you with our FREE home visit service. The same range, advice and prices, just at your doorstep. Give us a call on 0161 343 4064 to get started.

In case you missed it…we now offer FREE home visits across Greater Manchester!

If you can’t make it into our Ashton store, we’ll bring a great range of frames straight to your door, or collect your existing frames for re-glazing, all with the same friendly service and prices you’d expect in-store.

It all starts with a free phone conversation! Give us a call on 0161 343 4064 or 07500 936428.

January blues? The only ones we’re embracing are on our frames. From rich navy tones to softer blue hues and eye-catching patterns, these styles prove that blue can be bold, modern and anything but boring! 💙

And if you’re ready to switch things up now, our on-site lab means you can often walk out with your new glasses the very same day - sometimes in as little as 30 minutes for stock single lenses. More complex prescriptions may take a little longer, but we’ll have you seeing clearly (and in style) in no time!
