About & FAQ

Seen is an opticians and premium eyewear retailer based in Manchester dedicated to showcasing the best eyewear from around the world.

Our story starts many years ago, when Seen founder Tareq was inspired after working as an optometrist in Australia. Noticing a strong focus on customer service, he realised this was something he wanted to bring back to the north of England.

In 2005 Seen was born - a new kind of opticians based on the twin pillars of great customer service and super-stylish, individual eyewear from the finest independent designers.

We’ve been changing the world one face at a time ever since.
