Greater Manchester · A reimagined STOTTS. studio
Welcome
STOTTS. Urmston has been reimagined around a simple belief: your vision, hearing and confidence deserve more than a rushed appointment and a pair of glasses you never really understood. Not a conveyor belt, not a clinical room with some frames attached — just proper care, delivered with more thought, for Urmston and the surrounding area.

In & around Urmston
We're on Crofts Bank Road, a short step from Urmston's town centre and just two minutes from the railway station. This friendly Trafford suburb — with Flixton, Davyhulme and Stretford all close by — has real community spirit, and our reimagined studio was designed to match it. It's an easy visit whether you're local or coming in from further around the borough.
Our approach
A considered, unhurried way of looking after your eyes, your eyewear and your hearing — guided by people who take the time to understand what's right for you.
Urmston is the next step for STOTTS. — a practice designed around the idea that eyecare should feel more personal, more useful and more human. For too long the industry has asked people to make important decisions about their vision with too little time and too much guesswork. We take the time to understand how you live, work, see and hear, then recommend what's right for you and explain why.

Most eye tests are built around one narrow measure: can you read the letters? Important — but your vision is about far more than central acuity. Your eyes work across a full day of screens, driving, reading, glare, fine detail and distance changes. Your examination looks at the bigger picture — your eye health, lifestyle, symptoms and what you actually need your vision to do — because there's a difference between correcting vision and properly optimising it.
The right glasses should feel considered from every angle — suiting your face, prescription, style and lifestyle, sitting properly and feeling comfortable. We guide you through frame fit, shape, colour and material, and take lenses just as seriously: design, coatings and measurements all change how your glasses perform, especially for varifocals, screens and night driving. A beautiful frame with the wrong lens is just expensive disappointment in a nice case.

Your hearing deserves the same care and explanation as your vision. Changes often happen gradually — background noise harder, conversation less clear, the television quietly creeping up. We offer hearing care with the same calm, personal approach as our eyecare: we help you understand what's happening, what your options are and the right next step. No pressure and no fuss — just clear advice built around staying connected.
Explore hearing care →STOTTS. Urmston is built around a simple principle: better outcomes start with better understanding. We ask better questions, take more time, explain clearly, guide properly and recommend with conviction — so you understand what's perfect for you, and why. This is eyecare, eyewear and hearing care with more thought behind it.

"I have been a customer at Stotts for over 30 years and have never been tempted to go elsewhere. The service is second to none — the staff are exemplary, completely professional and very warm and friendly. I love the wide range of fashionable frames available too. Definitely worth a visit."— Marian Kinnucane
"I would highly recommend Stotts for your eye test and new glasses. The staff are very welcoming and helpful — there was a great deal of advice on choosing my new glasses and no rush at all. I needed a slight adjustment after a few days and just popped in and was taken care of right away. Thank you."— Karen Downes
"I've been taking my daughter here for over 12 years and can honestly say they are amazing — so friendly and welcoming. Now she's 17 and takes herself, which is massive for her."— Kelsey Hatton
