January blues? The only ones we’re embracing are on our frames. From rich navy tones to softer blue hues and eye-catching patterns, these styles prove that blue can be bold, modern and anything but boring! 💙

And if you’re ready to switch things up now, our on-site lab means you can often walk out with your new glasses the very same day - sometimes in as little as 30 minutes for stock single lenses. More complex prescriptions may take a little longer, but we’ll have you seeing clearly (and in style) in no time!

If you love frames that make a statement, Dolce & Gabbana never disappoint. Bold shapes, rich details and that unmistakable D&G edge...they’re designed to stand out without trying too hard.

We’ve got a selection of Dolce & Gabbana styles in store, ready for anyone who wants designer frames with real personality. If you’re in the mood to elevate your look, pop in and have a browse. Sometimes the right frames do all the talking!

January might be grey, your glasses don’t have to be.

A pop of colour in your frames is an easy way to lift your everyday look - and we’ve got vibrant, standout options that work now and all year round. Even better, you’ll find colourful frames from just £30, including stock single lenses!

If you’re bored of blending in, this is your sign to visit us for a fun and standout look! 🤩

A little reminder…when you buy your glasses from us, the service doesn’t stop there.

If your frames ever feel loose, sit slightly off or just need a small adjustment, you’re always welcome to pop back in. Tweaks, advice and comfort checks are all part of what we do, because your glasses should feel just as good as they look!

No fuss, just ongoing care for frames you wear every day. 👓

✨ Happy New Year from all of us at Manchester Optical! ✨

We hope 2026 brings you plenty of reasons to smile, lots of style, and maybe even a new pair of frames to kick off the year in confidence.

We’re back open from 9:30am tomorrow and can’t wait to see familiar faces and new ones alike. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

As the year comes to a close, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s popped in, supported us, and trusted us with their eyewear this year. From choosing new frames to coming back for tweaks, advice and chats, it really does mean the world to us.

Being part of the local community is what we love most, and we’re so grateful for every familiar face and new customer through our doors. Here’s to another year of great frames, friendly service and looking after your vision. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!

A huge thank you to Garry for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review on Google. Feedback like this really does mean a lot to our team.

We’ve been so grateful for the kind words and support from our customers this year, and it’s been a wonderful way to end the year on a real high.
