Independent eye care for Poynton patients

Poynton has a genuinely strong local independent scene. Johnson & Leatherbarrow Opticians sits in the heart of the village opposite Waitrose — a family-run independent group that’s been trading for decades. Fox Opticians on Park Lane is another long-established local name. Atkins-Burgess Opticians completes the set of village-centre independents. If you’re already a patient of one of these practices and you’re happy, stay with them.

What Poynton patients come to us for is different: specific clinical programmes that most single-site village practices don’t run. Abra & Co Opticians is approximately 15 minutes north via the A523 and A34 — we’ve been on Wilmslow Road since the 1940s and are now part of the Abra & Co independent group. Patients from Poynton typically come to us for the EyeClean dry eye programme, the MyoShield children’s myopia programme, SleepSight OrthoK, or for the designer frame range we stock.

Why Poynton patients come to Abra & Co Cheadle

The village practices in Poynton cover the everyday job well. Where we differ is in the clinical depth and the frame range. If your eyes have been gritty and dry for months and drops aren’t solving it, our EyeClean Programme assesses the root cause (meibomian gland function, tear film stability, eyelid margin health) and treats it with iClean (BlephEx) and a proper protocol. If your child’s myopia is climbing, MyoShield gives you evidence-based options. And if you want Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Etnia Barcelona, or Silhouette frames alongside a proper styling session, we stock the range and include the fitting free with every eye test.
