Eye care options for Cheadle Heath

Cheadle Heath sits between Cheadle village and Stockport, straddling Edgeley Road and Stockport Road. There’s no dedicated optician in Cheadle Heath itself. The closest are Boots Opticians at 15 High Street in Cheadle village (SK8 1AX) and Station Road Opticians over in Cheadle Hulme. Specsavers Stockport is also a short drive north along the A5145.

Ashworth Opticians is about 8 minutes south of Cheadle Heath via Finney Lane, and we offer something different: unhurried 45-minute eye tests with OCT retinal imaging, a genuine designer frame collection (Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette, Etnia Barcelona), and specialist services including the EyeClean dry eye programme, MyoShield myopia management for children, and SleepSight OrthoK. Our sister practice, Abra & Co on Wilmslow Road, is even closer if Cheadle village is more convenient — but if you’re heading towards Heald Green anyway, we’re the natural choice.
