Specsavers in Nelson to leave Pendle Rise Shopping Centre after 22 years so it can be demolished
After serving the community and being based at its current store for 22 years, Specsavers Nelson is moving to new premises.
The opticians, currently based at 8, Marsden Mall, Pendle Rise Shopping Centre, is aiming to be open at their new store on Manchester Road, for September.
The move will see the experienced team of opticians and audiologists continue to offer a variety of high-quality services to their customers, including eye and hearing tests, contact lens services, and ear wax removal - all in a fresh new setting.
The store will also have an optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine, which allows opticians to view the health of the eyes in greater detail, and can detect some health conditions up to four years earlier than traditional methods.
