Wigram & Ware is an independent practice of optometrists and opticians which has been serving King's Lynn and West Norfolk since 1920.
Wigram & Ware has been providing quality eye care to the many residents of King's Lynn and West Norfolk for over a century.
The company was founded in 1920 but there had been a practice in King's Lynn, run by Mr Francis Wigram since 1912, when the Wigram family acquired an opticians' business from Charles Hyman who had been practising in King's Lynn High Street and Cambridge for a number of years earlier.
Mr Francis Wigram (nephew of the founder) was appointed Chairman and Chief Executive in the 1950s and ran the business until it was sold in 1989 to Mr Peter Hutchinson and Mr Kevin Smith. It was during this partnership that the Dersingham branch opened in 2003, and the King's Lynn practice moved to its current location in Blackfriars Street in 2006. The present owners are Mrs Sarah Baldock, Mrs Linda Vernon-wood and Mr Imran Hakim, following Mr Peter Hutchinson's retirement in 2012 and Kevin Smith's retirement in November 2018.
At Wigram and Ware we strive to provide patients with the latest in ophthalmic care.
Both practices have fully equipped, air-conditioned, consulting rooms and ground floor appointments are always available. Just ask when you give us a call.
We can offer state-of-the-art Optomap imaging and OCT scans as part of our eye examination service. This allows our optometrists to monitor the health of your eyes more closely.
Following the redevelopment of King’s Lynn town centre in the early 2000s Wigram and Ware moved from its previous premises in New Conduit Street to nearby Blackfriars Street. With this move came investment in new equipment and the chance to develop a bright, modern and spacious practice. We were the first in the town to offer Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and have recently added audiology to our list of services.
Wigram and Ware opened its second practice at Jubilee Court, Dersingham, in 2004. With free on site parking this has provided patients travelling from nearby (and not so nearby!) villages and towns with easy, hassle-free access to their eyecare provider. All eye examinations are performed in the downstairs consulting room and we have our own laboratory for those emergency repairs and urgent new pairs!
