Great eyewear is as much about confidence as it is about vision. The right frame should feel balanced on your face, complement your features and suit how you live, not simply follow a trend.

Our role is to guide you through that choice with honesty and expertise, helping you find eyewear that feels natural, comfortable and unmistakably yours.

When eyewear is chosen well, it becomes part of who you are.

Dry, irritated or watery eyes are often dismissed as something to live with, especially at this time of year. In reality, these symptoms usually have a clear underlying cause.

Rather than relying on trial and error with eye drops, a proper assessment allows us to understand what your eyes need and recommend targeted care that supports long term comfort.

When the cause is understood, relief becomes achievable.

A calm, comfortable environment matters more than people often realise. Feeling at ease allows conversations to flow, questions to be asked and decisions to be made with confidence.

Our consulting spaces are designed to feel unhurried and professional, giving you time to talk through your vision, understand your options and feel fully supported throughout your visit.

Good eye care should feel considered from the moment you arrive.

Your lenses play a far greater role than many people realise. The right lens design can improve clarity, reduce eye strain and make everyday tasks feel noticeably more comfortable.

We take time to understand how you use your vision, whether that is reading, driving, working on screens or a combination of all three. From there, we recommend lens solutions that support how your eyes work in real life, not just on paper.

When lenses are chosen well, vision feels effortless.

Artificial intelligence is becoming an important support tool in modern eye care. Used correctly, it adds an extra layer of analysis to the detailed images we capture, helping us identify subtle signs of change even earlier.

At Clare & Illingworth, AI does not replace clinical judgement. It enhances it. Every scan is still interpreted by an experienced optometrist who understands your eyes, your history and the context behind every result.

When human expertise and advanced technology work together, care becomes more precise and more proactive.

A thorough eye examination is never rushed. Time allows us to look carefully, explain clearly and answer questions properly, rather than simply moving through a checklist.

By allowing space within every appointment, we can explore your vision in detail, discuss any changes you have noticed and ensure recommendations are tailored to you, not just your prescription.

Quality care is built on time, attention and trust.

Driving at night becomes more demanding during the winter months. Longer hours of darkness, wet roads and bright oncoming headlights can increase glare and visual fatigue.

Modern lens designs and anti reflection coatings are designed to reduce these distractions, improving clarity and comfort behind the wheel. When your prescription is accurate and your lenses are tailored to your lifestyle, night driving feels calmer and more controlled.

Clear vision makes every journey safer and more comfortable.

Spending long hours on screens has become part of everyday life. Over time, this can lead to eye strain, headaches, fluctuating focus and dry, uncomfortable eyes.

Specialist lenses and proper visual assessments can significantly reduce this strain by supporting how your eyes work up close and for prolonged periods. The goal is not just clearer vision, but greater comfort throughout the day.

Modern life demands more from your eyes. The right support makes all the difference.

Since 1990, Clare & Illingworth has been shaped by the people who trust us. Our patients, our community, and our team. Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Over the years we’ve evolved, most recently with the launch of our dry eye clinic. What began as a niche service has grown into an important part of how we care for eye health, with exciting plans ahead as it continues to develop.

Our eyewear remains just as considered. Carefully curated for the people of Knutsford and Wilmslow. Thoughtful, wearable, and chosen with real lives in mind.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about what lies ahead. 🤓😎👓🕶️

Thank you for being part of our journey. 🙏🏻

Children do not always realise when their vision is not as clear as it should be. Small changes can affect learning, concentration and confidence, especially during the school years.

Regular eye examinations help ensure visual development is on track and that any adjustments are made early, when they can have the greatest impact. Our team creates a relaxed, supportive experience so every child feels comfortable and understood.

Clear vision builds strong foundations for the future.
