“I had previously used an everyday high street company who left a very sour taste in the mouth. Edwards & Walker are the upmost professionals in their field. I have been helped by the owner Pretty and her amazing staff Emily, Lily and Wendy. I can not recommend you highly enough. If you need an opticians in Doncaster, these are the best of the best.”

“The ladies are just so good at what they do. Very thorough eye test. Pretty runs the whole operation so well. My wife and I have used this optician’s for over 5 years it is the best in Doncaster. The glasses we have are tinted and light reflective so no need for sunglasses. It’s a pleasure to look forward to when we need glasses.”

What makes Edwards & Walker Opticians different…
Choosing the right optician is important. But it shouldn’t just be about finding somewhere local or booking the quickest appointment. You need to make sure you trust that person with your eyesight.
At Edwards & Walker Opticians, we believe the best eye care starts with time. That means time to listen, time to explain and time to understand how your vision affects your everyday life. You’ll never feel like a number being moved through a system. You’ll always be cared for by people who know your name, remember your eyes and genuinely want the best for you.
Clinical care from Dr Pretty Basra, a nationally recognised optician, with over 20 years experience.
A place where staff care more about the service they provide (not the sales they make).
An environment purposely designed to help you feel calm, relaxed and comfortable during your visit.
An independent opticians in Doncaster unlike any other…
A good eye test is the minimum you should expect from your optician. But that doesn’t mean it has to feel clinical, rushed or transactional. At Edwards & Walker, we believe in doing things that are right for you.
We’re proudly independent, which means everything is shaped around our patients rather than a corporate formula or buying group. We use technology we believe will improve your care. We choose eyewear because it’s beautifully made, distinctive and worth wearing. We spend time with each patient because they deserve our attention.
There’s no distant head office telling us how long an appointment should take. There’s no one telling us what we have to sell. There’s simply our team, our clinical judgement and our responsibility to do what is genuinely best for you… because your eyes – and the life you see through them – deserve nothing less.
Trusted locally. Recognised professionally.
We’re proud to be trusted by thousands of patients, local healthcare professionals and organisations across Doncaster.
We believe seeing your optician should be something you enjoy, not what you have to do
Like most opticians in Doncaster, we offer everything you’d expect… routine eye tests, digital eye scans, contact lens fitting, emergency eye care, huge range of frames, lots of lens choices, etc etc.
What we believe in is making that service feel as relaxing as possible.
From the moment you step through the door, you’re welcomed like an old friend. You can settle into our cosy waiting area, read a magazine, catch up on your phone or simply watch the world go by through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There’s no rushing about and no pressure-selling. Every part of the practice has been designed to help you slow down, feel at ease and know you’re in safe hands long before your appointment begins.
Our goal is to make your experience with us as light and stress-free as possible because exceptional eye care shouldn’t feel like something that’s being done to you… It should feel reassuring and completely personal.
