Bonjour, François Pinton! 🇫🇷

We're delighted to introduce the latest addition to our collection... François Pinton, one of the most quietly iconic names in French eyewear.

If the name feels familiar, there's a good reason. François Pinton frames have graced some of the most recognisable faces in history, from Jackie Kennedy Onassis to Yves Saint Laurent and Le Corbusier. This is a house with genuine heritage. And now, it's here in Suffolk.

🇫🇷 Designed and crafted in France
✨ Iconic silhouettes reimagined for today
🎨 Refined colour palettes and premium acetates
🕶️ Available as both optical frames and sunglasses

If you appreciate eyewear made with real care, the kind that carries a story on every hinge, we think you'll fall for François Pinton immediately.

Kind words for our Jenn!

No time pressure. No sales pressure. Just genuine care and a proper conversation about what works best for you.

That's the Wigram & Ware way — and always has been.

Thank you, Mr Andrews. Enjoy the new specs!

It's the little things✨

When you collect a new pair of glasses from Wigram & Ware, you don't just leave with the specs themselves. You leave with everything you need to look after them properly, beautifully presented in a gift box we've put together with real thought.

Because we think how you're sent home matters just as much as what you're sent home with.

It's a small gesture. But it's the kind of gesture you simply don't get on the high street, and it says everything about how we like to do things here.

Look after your glasses, and they'll look after you. And when they need a little TLC, we're always right here on Central Walk!

The choice of champions! 🏁

When Oracle Red Bull Racing needed sunglasses for their drivers, Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar, they chose Maui Jim as their official eyewear partner for the 2026 season.

That's not a small thing.

Formula 1 is a sport where every fraction of a second matters. Where clarity of vision, sharpness of focus, and the ability to see the road ahead without compromise can be the difference between the podium and second place. When the fastest drivers on the planet trust a brand with their eyes, it tells you something.

Maui Jim's PolarizedPlus2® lens technology delivers exactly what those drivers need, and exactly what we love about the brand in the practice.

⚡ Total glare elimination — no more squinting through harsh reflections

🎨 Enhanced colour and contrast — the world genuinely looks sharper

☀️ 100% UV protection — as standard, on every single pair

🪶 Lightweight, comfortable frames — engineered to be worn all day

Whether you're driving down the A14, watching a race from the sofa, or heading somewhere hot this summer, the same technology trusted by the world's elite is available to try on right here in Bury St. Edmunds.

Why not stop by and see the collection for yourself?

Something rather special has arrived ✨

We're delighted to share that Wigram & Ware is now one of only a handful of opticians across the UK invited to stock the Tom Ford Icon collection.

It's a distinction we don't take lightly.

The Icon collection represents Tom Ford eyewear at its most refined, a carefully curated range of the brand's most celebrated frames, brought together in the materials, colourways and finishes that made them iconic in the first place.

To be chosen as one of the practices to offer this collection is a real honour, and a reflection of the reputation Wigram & Ware has quietly built over the last 65 years.

If you'd like to see the collection in person, please pop in. It's the kind of eyewear you really do have to try on to appreciate!

You are what you eat...👀

Can what you eat really make a difference to your eyes?

The short answer — yes, more than most people realise.

Your eyes rely on a surprisingly specific set of nutrients to stay healthy over time. And while a good diet won't change your prescription, it plays a genuine role in protecting your long-term vision.

A few of the ones worth knowing about:

🥬 Leafy greens — Spinach, kale and rocket are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect the macula from age-related damage.

🐟 Oily fish — Salmon, mackerel and sardines contain omega-3s, which support tear production and help combat dry eyes.

🥚 Eggs — A brilliant source of lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin E and zinc, all of which support eye health.

🍊 Citrus & berries — Packed with vitamin C, which supports the tiny blood vessels within the eyes.

🥕 And yes, carrots — Rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. They won't give you superhero night vision, but they do play a real role in overall eye health.

None of it is complicated. Just good, everyday food doing quiet, important work behind the scenes.

If you're due an eye check-up, why not get booked in? We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Bury St. Edmunds, we love you💙

There isn't another town we'd rather call home.

The independent shops, The Abbey Gardens in summer, the market days, the way people stop to chat on the street and genuinely mean it when they ask how you are.

We've been here for over 65 years, and the truth is we feel as lucky to be part of this town today as we ever have. It's our patients, our neighbours, the businesses around us on Central Walk and everyone who chooses to support local, you're what makes it all work.

So here's a small thank you. For the loyalty, the recommendations, the friendly faces, and for choosing independent.

Engineered in Berlin. Worn around the world.

Allow us to introduce ic! berlin — one of the most quietly brilliant brands in the practice.

Founded in 1996, ic! berlin set out to do something different. To make frames without screws. Without soldering. Without anything that could pinch, loosen or break over time.

The result is one of the most ingenious hinge designs in eyewear — a single sheet of stainless steel, folded and shaped, held together by a patented mechanism that simply clicks into place.

It sounds technical. In practice, it's remarkable.

👁️ Featherlight on the face

👁️ No screws, no soldering, no glue

👁️ Made from a single sheet of stainless steel
👁️ Easy to adjust, easy to repair

The aesthetic is unmistakable. Clean lines, considered proportions, and a quiet confidence that makes them feel as good to wear as they look on the shelf. They're the kind of frames you forget you have on — which, when you think about it, is the highest compliment you can pay a pair of glasses.

Come and try a pair. We rather think you'll see what we mean...
