Dean Row is a semi-rural hamlet between Handforth and Wilmslow, convenient for the A34 and just 13 minutes from our Cheadle practice. When it comes to eye care, many Dean Row residents find themselves choosing between Boots Opticians (at Handforth Dean Retail Park) or Vision Express (in Wilmslow town centre on Grove Street). We respect the competition — but we offer something different.
At Abra & Co, every appointment is with a GOC-registered optometrist. You get a full 45 minutes, not a 20-minute conveyor-belt slot. We use OCT retinal scanning as standard, and our clinical depth — dry eye treatment, myopia management, OrthoK — goes well beyond what most high street opticians provide.
By car: From Kiln Croft Lane, head towards Cheadle via the A34 Wilmslow bypass and Kingsway. We’re at 19 Wilmslow Road, Cheadle, SK8 1DW — approximately 13 minutes from Dean Row. Street parking is available on Wilmslow Road and nearby side streets.
By bus: the 130 and X57 bus services along the A34 connect Dean Row and Handforth to Cheadle and Wilmslow. Ask for the Wilmslow Road stop in Cheadle.
If you or a family member are housebound or unable to travel to the practice, our optometrist can visit you at home in Dean Row and the surrounding area. NHS home visits are free for eligible patients — those who are housebound, have dementia, or have mobility difficulties. Find out more about home eye tests →
