"Our aim is to save money for the UK public on the purchase cost of their prescription glasses, sunglasses and reglazes."

Rather than only having one pair of glasses due to the (until now) prohibitive cost of buying additional pairs wouldnt it be nice to have a pair for driving, a pair for watching TV, a pair for playing golf in, or simply different styles to suit your mood on the day?

The days of high prices on the high street may still be here, but now you have a genuine alternative and the opportunity to save a lot of money.

No need to worry about quality
Our laboratory actually supplies many high street retailers already, but by buying direct from Manchester Optical you can cut out the huge margins the high street retailers currently build in to their costs.

Our laboratory employs the services of general Optical Council Registered Dispensing Opticians who supervise the dispensing of all our glasses. Our directors have over 50 years of experience between them.

All of our frames have CE marks (ie confirming that they fulfill all essential safety and environmental requirements as defined in applicable European Directives). Our frames also conform to ENV 14027, and International Standards Organisation number 12870.
