Sympathetic, caring and engaging brothers Nick and Jonathan Fox are third generation opticians whose boutique practice on trendy and buzzing Burton Road in Didsbury is the latest addition to their well-established premises in Poynton and Handforth.
Above all, we place emphasis upon the quality of our service, our spectacles and our lenses to ensure we can bring to Didsbury that special service we already offer in our other premises.
A UK survey in 2020 showed approximately 77% of British women and 68% of British men wear corrective eyewear, clarifying that spectacles and contact lenses are more vital than ever to our 21st Century computer-centric way of life. They are crucial in helping us carry out our work, sports and leisure activities alongside offering wearers comfort, confidence and cosmetic enhancement.
At the premises in West Didsbury, the brothers offer over 400 UK and international frames priced from £189
to £589. There’s a wide range of materials and colours from manufacturers such as Sabine Be (France), Cutler & Gross (UK) and Blackfin (Italy) to Mykita (Germany), Bevel Eyewear (US) and Etnia Barcelona (Spain).
This is not your average selection of specs, but then these are not your average optometrists!
And whether you walk in off the street to immediately sense the ‘wow’ factor of the Fox brothers’ pristine and colourful practice, or you’ve come by appointment or recommendation, the siblings are determined to provide you with a completely personalised experience the moment you step foot in their eye wear emporium. And that starts with a chat and a cappuccino!
Jonathan tends to the styling and Nick focuses upon the testing, he said:
“Whether you have your own prescription or are examined here by us, we want you to know that we will only offer whatever is best for you. We give thought to when you will be wearing the eyewear. We’ll ascertain if you are after a minimalistic or a statement look. From your face shape to your personality, we’ll consider all factors to help determine the correct frames for you. Some clients decide on having multiple pairs, opting for a conservative frame for work and something more jazzy for social occasions. Others change their specs seasonally and may choose, say, a muted tortoiseshell frame for autumn and one more brightly-coloured for summer. It’s all very personal and about each individual and their own lifestyle. Above all, we place emphasis upon the quality of our service, our spectacles and our lenses to ensure we can bring to Didsbury that special service we already offer in our other premises.”
