Why Alderley Edge patients come to Abra & Co Cheadle

Alderley Edge is affluent and well served locally. The practices here do good work. What brings Alderley Edge patients up the A34 to Abra & Co Cheadle is usually one of three things. First, proper dry eye treatment — our EyeClean Programme goes beyond “use drops” with slit lamp diagnosis and iClean (BlephEx) professional eyelid margin treatment. Second, MyoShield for children — evidence-based myopia control with axial length measurement, not just prescription tracking. Third, the designer frame range (Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Etnia Barcelona, Silhouette, YSL, Burberry) alongside a proper styling session that most single-site practices can’t match.
