Opticians serving Timperley patients

Timperley has its own independent in Timperley Eyecare Ltd on the village high street along Stockport Road. Nearby Altrincham adds further choice with Maskell and Josephson on George Street and several chains including Specsavers and Vision Express at the Stamford Quarter. These are established practices, and patients content with them have no reason to leave.

What draws Timperley patients to Ashworth Opticians is the breadth of what we offer. Beyond a thorough 45-minute eye test with OCT retinal scanning, we run the EyeClean programme — a proper dry eye clinic with BlephEx lid debridement and Firefly slit lamp diagnosis. Our MyoShield programme uses MiSight lenses, OrthoK, and atropine to slow childhood myopia. And SleepSight OrthoK gives glasses-free daytime vision using overnight lenses. We also stock Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette, and Etnia Barcelona — a designer range the Timperley and Altrincham practices don’t carry. The drive is about 15 minutes via Wythenshawe Road and Altrincham Road.

Questions Timperley patients ask us

Why travel to Heald Green when Timperley has Timperley Eyecare?

Timperley Eyecare is a good local practice. Patients come to us specifically for services they can’t get locally: our EyeClean dry eye programme (with BlephEx treatment), MyoShield myopia control for children, SleepSight OrthoK overnight lenses, and our designer frame range — Tom Ford, Gucci, Prada, Silhouette. If you need those, the 15-minute drive is worthwhile.

How much is an eye test at Ashworth Opticians?

A private eye test is £49 for a full 45-minute appointment including OCT retinal scanning. It’s free if you purchase glasses with us. NHS eye tests are free for eligible patients.

Do you offer overnight contact lenses?

Yes — SleepSight OrthoK. You wear specially designed lenses while you sleep that gently reshape the cornea. Remove them in the morning and see clearly all day without glasses or daytime contacts. Works for mild to moderate short-sightedness and is popular with active adults and children.

Can you treat blepharitis?

Yes. Blepharitis is one of the main conditions we treat through our EyeClean programme. We use the Firefly Digital Slit Lamp to assess the severity, then treat with iClean (BlephEx) mechanical lid debridement to remove the bacterial biofilm. Most patients notice a significant improvement after the first session.

Do you deliver contact lenses to Timperley?

Yes — our contact lens subscription includes home delivery anywhere in Timperley, an annual check-up, and unlimited aftercare throughout the year.
