Northern Moor has no optician

Northern Moor, sitting between Wythenshawe and Sale, has no dedicated optician. Residents on Kenworthy Lane, Boleyn Road, and the roads off Palatine Road typically head towards Sale (where Clare Haggerty Opticians is on Northenden Road) or into Wythenshawe for the chains. Both options mean driving further from home than necessary.

Ashworth Opticians is about 10 minutes from Northern Moor heading east via Palatine Road and then south through Gatley. We offer a full 45-minute eye exam with OCT retinal imaging, specialist clinics for dry eye (EyeClean) and myopia management (MyoShield), overnight vision correction (SleepSight OrthoK), and designer frames from Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, and Silhouette. For Northern Moor residents, we fill a gap that the local area simply doesn’t cover.

There is no optician in Northern Moor itself. The closest independent is Ashworth Opticians, about 10 minutes east through Gatley. Clare Haggerty Opticians in Sale Moor is a similar distance west. The chains in Wythenshawe are slightly further north.

Twelve or more clinical checks including visual acuity, refraction, eye pressure, pupil response, and an OCT retinal scan. We discuss your results in detail and check for signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Private £49, or free with glasses.

Do you do children’s eye tests?

Yes — free for all under-16s under the NHS. We take our time with younger patients and make the experience comfortable. If your child’s short-sightedness is worsening, we can discuss our MyoShield myopia management programme to slow it down.

What is EyeClean?

EyeClean is our dry eye treatment programme. We use a Firefly Digital Slit Lamp to assess the root cause, treat blocked glands with iClean (BlephEx), and set up a home care plan. It’s a structured approach, not just a bottle of eye drops.

Yes. We visit housebound patients across Northern Moor for full eye tests. It’s an NHS-funded service for those who qualify. Call 0161 437 3400 and we’ll check your eligibility and book a time.
