Services
Established in 1958, Howards Opticians is an independent practice in St Helens and to this day remains a family run business with the same strong values in providing the highest level of patient care and professional service. We pride ourselves in offering high quality eyecare and eyewear solutions within a friendly environment.
Stuart has worked at Howards since 2003 when he began training under the supervision of Mr Marlow (the previous owner and son-in-law of Mr Howard who originally established the practice back in 1958). Having been qualified for 11 years, Stuart is a very experienced optician who prides himself on giving honest, professional eyecare advice.
We have a large selection of high quality ladies', men's and children's frames. From toddlers to teens, trend-followers to the more traditional, our frame room houses something to suit everyone's face, style and budget. Our selection of frames include the designer brands: Ray-Ban, Emporio Armani, Gucci, Polo Ralph Lauren, Jimmy Choo and Oakley.
Our high quality frames deserve high quality lenses and so, due to our wide range of lens manufacturers, we are able to offer the best lenses for you based on your prescription and the way in which your eyes move and focus.

We provide standard single vision lenses or the latest in freeform technology varifocals and coatings, including the new anti-blue light coatings designed to neutralise the blue light emitted from digital devices to help reduce glare and eyestrain.
Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory, they play an important role in protecting the eyes from UV damage and should be worn by everyone. Our prescription and non-prescription designer sunglasses include Oakley, Ray-Ban, Michael Kors, Emporio Armani and Polo Ralph Lauren. We are also able to order in frames from different manufacturers if required, subject to availability.

I have been going here since 1987. I have tried Specsavers and would not go back. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The opticians have changed over the years but the service is the same if not of a higher quality. I highly recommend this opticians.

First class service, who go the extra mile for their patients. A caring family concern. I've been with this practice for almost 40 years and feel safe that my eyes are being looked after.
