Glenns Opticians
SERVICE, STYLE AND SATISFACTION Glenns offer a superb service to every customer who walks through the doors of the Liverpool Road premises. This well established practice is forward thinking and has invested heavily in cutting edge technology. Glenns is leading the way in providing the latest method of checking eye health - using digital photography.

Glenns offer a superb service to every customer who walks through the doors of the Liverpool Road premises. Martin Glenn, a qualified optometrist, contact lens practitioner and colorimetry practioner, carries out eye examinations aided by the latest technology available. This is one of the very few practices where all examinations and dispensing is performed by the practice owner, assuring you of the highest standards of professional care.
Services
Glenns Opticians was founded in 1936 and now after 80 years, is located at 89 Liverpool Road, on the corner with Queen's Road (opposite Merchant Taylors Girls School). The Practice is owned by Martin Glenn, who has practiced in Crosby for 45 years, following in his father's footsteps. Glenn's may have a history, but to enter the new premises is like stepping into the future.
This is one of the first tests to be performed in a comprehensive eye examination and it will give your optometrist an idea of what kind of prescription you may need. It gives a good starting point for the other tests. The autorefractor is a computer that works on a similar principle to the autofocus on your camera and gives the optometrist an idea how strong your glasses need to be without you speaking.
The SPECTRALIS(R) 4D HD Eye Health Check is much more than your standard sight test. It employs the use of a high-tech eye scanner to scan your eyes and look for very early signs of retinal disease. This technology is used on board the International Space Station to check the health of astronaut's eyes and now you can have your eye health checked in exactly the same way here on planet Earth!
In our spacious showroom you can choose from thousands of frames in a relaxed atmosphere with our friendly qualified staff on hand to assist you. We stock a vast range of frames starting at just 15 through to a host of designer names including Lindberg, Bvlgari, Tiffany, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Rayban, Polo Ralph Lauren and many more.
With so many different types of contact lenses available today, it is worth seeking professional advice to find the most suitable type for your vision requirements and lifestyle. We offer a full contact lens fitting service and can supply all brands. Modern living can take a toll on the health of your eyes.

After attending all the big named High Street opticians and being disappointed with their quality of service and / or lack of choice in frames, what a delight to meet Mr Glen. The shop is pristine and spacious with a fantastic range to choose from. No hard sell just great advice and service, also when asked if he could assist me in disposing of multiple pairs of old glasses, he informed me supports a charity who re-issue them. Delighted with my new glasses, sunglasses, cleaning cloths and bottle of lens cleaning spray (with the benefit of ongoing free refills). All of the above combined with the

Mr. Glenn was extremely thorough, my eye test was the most rigorous I have ever had. I chose varifocals with a designer frame and thin, light sensitive lenses. I also ordered a free set of lenses for use when working on a computer. They were not cheap but quality costs.

I contacted the Opticians for help in dealing with Mearles-Irlen Syndrome. Following a thorough assessment, I now have a prescription pair of tinted glasses. I'm astonished by the improvements in my sight, work and stress levels. With so few qualified Opticians in this field, I'm delighted to have called on their services. I highly recommend the service. Very professional and helpful.

I am updating my review from 7 months ago to reflect my heartfelt thanks to Mr Glenn for potentially saving my grandaughter’s sight and even significant and life changing brain damage. He identified a serious issue when conducting a routine eye test and made an urgent appointment for Ophthalmology at Alderhey. They acted quickly, performed an MRI and lumbar puncture and she is now recovering under their care. We will be forever grateful to Mr Glenn for his prompt professional response.
My family and I (eight of us in total, ranging from 13 to 70+) have been customers at Glenn’s for several

I have for many years been a customer of Glenn's Opticians after previously going to various high street opticians. Glenn's is like no other -attention to detail, advice, choice and not least, real high tech innovation is for me what makes it the best experience anyone could hope for. I would highly recommend Glenns especially if you want to receive a quality service.

Recently became a customer of Glenn’s after using a couple of larger optician chains. My recent eye test and contact lense check was extremely thorough and I was able to trial a range of lenses for fit ,comfort and vision. Mr Glenn is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced and made the whole process hassle free. I would definitely recommend Glenn’s opticians to anyone.
