Whether you are getting spectacles for your child for the first or fifteenth time, it’s never easy choosing the right pair. The styles, the colours, the sizes and the fashion changes every time. At Shaw’s Opticians we offer a wide choice of frames to cover even the fussiest youngsters or the image conscious teenager.

Older children and teenagers love our collections of designer eyewear from Converse, HEAD, O’Neill and SuperDry, or fashionable styles from Basebox, Zenith, Sunoptics, ICY and iWear.

We have an extensive choice of young children’s eyewear, from Frozen, Batman vs Superman, Spiderman, Star Wars, Disney Princess, Moshi Monsters, Minions (coming in July) and many more.

We also have a range of free NHS children’s frames.

The lens price is covered by your child’s NHS optical voucher. We offer the best possible lens for this voucher, so we may supply thinner lenses, anti-reflection coatings and prisms at no extra charge. So all you pay is for the frame you choose.

Repairs or replacements to your child’s broken or lost spectacles are either fully or part-funded by the NHS so we will do what we can to put this right for you.

We accept prescriptions from other opticians and clinics too. We do a lot of spectacles for those who have their appointments at the Phoenix Centre or Rochdale Infirmary children’s clinics.
