# Travers Opticians
Travers Mobile Opticians is a family-run practice based in Manchester with over 25 years' experience delivering eye care directly to patients' homes and community settings across Greater Manchester and East Lancashire. Rather than requiring clients to visit a high street optician, they bring comprehensive optometry services to those who find traditional appointments difficult or impossible to access.
The practice specialises in serving vulnerable populations including people with learning disabilities, autism, and those in special needs schools, day centres and nursing homes. Their Easy Eye Care and Special Schools Eye Care Service have been specifically designed to provide dignified, accessible eye testing for individuals with additional support needs. They also operate a Community Urgent Eye Care Service (CUES) for emergency eye problems, offering both telephone and face-to-face appointments for conditions like red eyes, sudden vision changes, or minor injuries.
Beyond emergency care, Travers provides full eye tests—examining not just for glasses but screening for underlying health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Their glasses service is particularly competitive, starting from £40 complete, with free NHS frames available for eligible patients. They transport a large frame selection to appointments, deliver finished glasses, and offer completely free aftercare including adjustments and repairs.
What distinguishes Travers is their genuine commitment to removing barriers to eye care. The mobile model eliminates transport challenges, whilst their specialist services recognise that conventional optometry settings may be unsuitable for people with complex needs.
