30 minute appointments are standard for over 16's meaning you get longer with the optician. We are happy to see NHS and private patients, and children from 6 months upwards. You will be able to have an extended eye examination which includes an OCT examination, which allows us to detect eye disease such as AMD and Glaucoma earlier.
Because of our independence we are able to provide you with a large selection of frames and lenses to suit your needs. Openshaw Opticians was first established in 1946 by Robert Openshaw when he bought out Stansfield Jewellers est. 1885in Cleckheaton. Robert who was a pharmacist by profession, took a further diploma in optometry to become a chemist-based optician.

Children want glasses to be fun. At Openshaw opticians our specs are cheeky, witty or even serious we have the right glasses for every child. A new campaign is targeting parents, teachers and health professionals to raise awareness of children's eye health. Led by the optical sector, the campaign is encouraging parents not to overlook their children's eye health this summer and to include a sight test in their 'back to school' routine.
Sport's eyewear presents a different challenge for spectacle wearer's altogether, as most patients are concerned as to whether or not their current glasses will be able to keep up with their needs. Eyewear specifically tailored for sports use is now becoming increasingly popular. Eyewear should enable you to perform perfectly without your vision being a hindrance of any kind.
The needs and wearing habits of contact lens wearers are as different as the wearers themselves. Not only do we stock a wide range of different contact lenses, but we are also happy to give you responsible personal advice if you have yet to find the lens which is right for you at Openshaw opticians cleckheaton.
Avoid the discomfort of bright light outdoors, without the need for separate glasses and sunglasses. Transitions Signature lenses react rapidly to changing light conditions outdoors, and return to clear when you come back inside. They also prevent long-term eye damage by blocking out harmful UV rays.
Ordinary varifocals may restore satisfactory vision at all distances but some do a much better job than others. No varifocal lens is better than Varilux, the world's leading varifocal brand with hundreds of millions of wearers all over the world. We recommend Varilux because it's the lens our patients like best.

I have had many vision problems over the years, all swiftly diagnosed by Steve. The stress of urgent appointments is always ameliorated by the genuine kindness and positive attitude of such a lovely team. Openshaw Opticians has been invaluable in my ongoing vision care, I certainly wouldn’t cope half as well without them.
Thankful to have such an excellent local service.

Fantastic service both by phone and in person, Steve got me in really quickly when my eye problem didn't ease after a few days. He Sent me to Pinderfields as I had a really bad infection which needed further testing. Steve saw me again today after completing my 6 - 7 weeks of drops. Can not fault Openshaws. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a check up

Myself and my family regularly use Openshaw's from our routine eye examinations to purchasing all of our classes. Steve is brilliant he is fantastic with the Children making it fun and he is equally great with the grown ups too - I've never had an examination where I have the full outcomes explained at any of the big high street opticians and Steve explains everything he is brilliant
The front of house service is fantastic - I have always had the phone answered when I've called and even have text communication where appropriate - Nothing is ever too much trouble for them - we would never go anywhere

There was a mark on my new pair of glasses. It appeared to be a scratch and after trying glass wipes to remove it, I went back to the opticians to get a replacement pair. The optometrist here recommended a different prescription to what I had originally but my eyes were drawing out too much. The optometrist advised me that he will replace the glasses with the original prescription if I can't get used to the new prescription.
After wearing the glasses, I knew I needed the strength from my original prescription, so when I went back to get replacement glasses (because of the scratch and the different
