Eye care options in Hazel Grove

Hazel Grove has two good independents on London Road. Harries Opticians at 313 London Road (SK7 4PS) is well known locally, and The Spectacle Studio at 155 London Road (SK7 4HH) offers a curated frame selection. Both are established and respected — if you’re happy with your current optician there, keep going.

What neither practice offers is a structured dry eye clinic, myopia management for children, or overnight vision correction. Ashworth Opticians runs all three: EyeClean for dry eye, MyoShield for myopia control, and SleepSight OrthoK. We also stock designer brands — Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette, Etnia Barcelona — that go beyond the typical high-street selection. From Hazel Grove, take the A5149 west through Bramhall towards the A34, then south to Finney Lane. About 15 minutes door to door, through some of Stockport’s quieter residential roads.

Questions Hazel Grove patients ask us

Hazel Grove has opticians already — what’s different about Ashworth?

Harries and The Spectacle Studio are good local independents for routine eye care. What we add is a dedicated dry eye clinic (EyeClean with iClean/BlephEx treatment), myopia management for children (MyoShield), overnight vision correction (SleepSight OrthoK), and a wider designer frame range including Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, and Silhouette.

How do I get to Heald Green from Hazel Grove?

Head west through Bramhall on the A5149, then south on the A34 past Cheadle Royal. Turn right onto Finney Lane. About 15 minutes in normal traffic. Free on-street parking right outside.

What is OrthoK and how does it work?

OrthoK (orthokeratology) uses specially designed rigid lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the front of your eye. You take them out in the morning and see clearly all day without glasses or contact lenses. Our SleepSight programme includes fitting, all follow-up visits, and lens replacements. Works for mild to moderate short-sightedness and is also used to slow myopia in children.

Are NHS eye tests available?

Yes. NHS eye tests are free for children under 16, adults 60 and over, people with diabetes or glaucoma, those on qualifying benefits, and others. Every NHS test at Ashworth Opticians still gets the full 45 minutes and OCT retinal scan.

Do you treat dry eye properly or just prescribe drops?

Our EyeClean programme is a proper clinical treatment. We diagnose the cause with a Firefly Digital Slit Lamp, treat blocked meibomian glands with iClean (BlephEx) lid debridement, and build a tailored home management plan. Drops alone rarely fix the underlying issue — many of our patients from Hazel Grove and Bramhall came to us after years of relying on artificial tears alone.
