Why choose Edwards & Walker Opticians?
Personalised eye care

Relaxing environment
Our practice is designed to be a haven of calm. Forget pressure sales or rushed decisions – we make your visit as relaxing as possible because a serene environment means better eye care for all.

What our patients say about us…
The staff at Edward & Walker Opticians are not only friendly but also highly professional. Pretty, the optometrist, provided us with a thorough eye examination, making sure we felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. One thing that really stood out to me was their wide selection of frames. They have options to suit all budgets, which is amazing. I ended up choosing a stunning pair of Versace frames that I absolutely love.🤓
The level of service we received was exceptional. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, beautiful decor, great staff, and frame selection made our visit truly enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. I highly recommend this optician to anyone in need of eye care and stylish eyewear. ✨️
