Warrington Market’s own independent optician, EDGE Eyewear, has won the prestigious Optician of the Year 2024 award, announced by Business Awards UK in December.
As well as winning this honour they were also chosen as finalists in Rising Star in the Optical Industry.
Under the leadership of optometrist and owner, Graham Weir, EDGE Eyewear opened in summer 2022. Since then, it has grown from strength to strength.
It could still be considered the hidden gem of Warrington Market, with many patients appreciating the level of care they receive. EDGE boasts over 100 Google reviews, every one of them 5 stars!
EDGE Eyewear’s ethos is simple. In Graham’s words: “We put the patient first. I have worked in optics for a long time. I have worked for all the big high street chains and for many independent opticians too. I tried to learn from every place I ever worked and combine the best of all of them into one place – EDGE.
“Patients receive the highest quality eye examination with the latest technology, and everything is explained in full. We are not about rushing patients through as quickly as possible.”
As well as the highest levels of patient care, EDGE can also supply some of the best optical products in the world. Cutting edge spectacle lens technology, specialist contact lens fitting, ortho-k lenses (also known as Night Lenses – an incredible treatment completely freeing short-sighted patients from needing glasses) are just some of the things they can do. They also have an incredible range of spectacle frames, including custom made frames.
Since its inception, EDGE Eyewear has also made sustainability a core value through its use of eco-friendly eyewear and lenses, as well as innovative recycling programmes for glasses, contact lens packaging, and more.
Cllr Laura Watson, cabinet member for economy, growth and quality work, said: “This latest accolade for Edge Eyewear is yet another fantastic recognition of the quality and dedication of our traders, and I’m absolutely delighted for them.
“The market truly showcases the very best in services and products, from skilled opticians and talented hairdressers to exceptional food traders and butchers, and this award is a testament to the thriving local talent we’re so proud to support.”
EDGE Eyewear is located downstairs in the corner of Warrington Market, near Two Brothers Coffee. They are open Monday to Saturday, 9am-5pm.
