I recently visited this opticians and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help me find the perfect pair of glasses. They took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. It's clear that they genuinely care about their customers. The atmosphere of the business is lovely, making it a pleasant place to visit. I highly recommend this opticians to anyone in need of eye care!

Excellent, friendly & quick  service on repairing my glasses. I tried 2 other Opticians in Clitheroe first but found SW Allen went over and above to help me out. Great customer service, I would highly recommend them.

Iv just pick up my new Varifocal Glasses and I’m absolutely or the moon with them I have been struggling with Varifocals for the passed 5 years, they just never felt right and thought I’m just going to be one of them people that’s never going to adjust to Varifocals. After visiting Allan’s where the staff where very friendly and patient with me, I put my new Glasses on,I could just tell straight away they were right,I can keep them on all day now and not feel dizzy anymore. Will definitely recommending
