Eye care options for Brooklands residents

Brooklands is a residential area between Sale and Northern Moor, centred around Brooklands Road and Marsland Road near the Metrolink stop. There’s no optician in Brooklands itself. The nearest are Clare Haggerty Optometrists in Sale Moor and Boots Opticians in Sale town centre on School Road. Both are reliable but limited in specialist services and designer frame collections.

Ashworth Opticians is about 12 minutes from Brooklands via Northern Moor and along Finney Lane. We offer 45-minute eye tests (not the 20-minute chain appointments) with OCT retinal scanning, a designer frame range including Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette, and Etnia Barcelona, and specialist clinics: EyeClean for dry eye treatment with BlephEx, MyoShield for childhood myopia, and SleepSight OrthoK overnight lenses for glasses-free vision. For Brooklands patients wanting more than a basic eye test, we’re worth the short drive.

Questions Brooklands patients ask us

Is there an optician in Brooklands?

No — Brooklands doesn’t have its own optician. The nearest are Clare Haggerty Optometrists in Sale Moor and Boots in Sale town centre. For designer frames and specialist clinics (dry eye, myopia management, OrthoK), Ashworth Opticians is about 12 minutes east via Northern Moor.

What makes Ashworth Opticians different from the chains?

Three things: time, range, and expertise. Every eye test is 45 minutes with OCT scanning (chains typically allow 20). We stock Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, and Silhouette (chains don’t). And we run specialist clinics — EyeClean for dry eye, MyoShield for childhood myopia, SleepSight OrthoK — that chains simply don’t offer.

How much does an eye test cost?

£49 for a 45-minute private eye test with OCT retinal scanning. Free when you buy glasses with us. NHS eye tests are free for children under 16, adults over 60, and those on qualifying benefits.

Do you treat dry eyes properly?

Yes. Our EyeClean programme goes well beyond artificial tears. We diagnose the underlying cause with the Firefly Digital Slit Lamp, treat blocked meibomian glands with iClean (BlephEx), and build a structured plan. Most dry eye is caused by gland dysfunction, not insufficient tears — and we treat the cause.

Can I get to Ashworth Opticians by Metrolink?

Not directly — Heald Green is on the Northern line (train), not the Metrolink. From Brooklands Metrolink, it’s easier to drive (12 minutes). If you prefer public transport, Heald Green railway station is a short walk from the practice on Finney Lane.
