Edwards Eyewear was created in 2019 by award-winning Optometrist Edward Lyons and World Champion Shotgun sportsman and coach Edward Solomons.
Having been wearing, dispensing and prescribing glasses and sunglasses for over 20 years, we scoured the world for inspiration, sourcing the very finest materials and manufacturers and designed our own collection.
Ed & Ed
Ed Solomons first became aware of Ed Lyons after one of his clients had been to see Mr Lyons for a sports vision consultation and returned with a glowing review. As a prescription glasses wearer himself Ed Solomons went to see if his current prescription could be improved upon.
Not only was he very impressed with the quality of service, which far exceeded his experiences at a local optician, but the two Ed’s discovered that they got on incredibly well and shared many similar views on how to do business.
This lead to an ongoing symbiotic approach helping both of their clients to improve both in vision and technique. Over time they dealt with customers from all over the world and as a result became great friends and now business partners.
Creating the Company
Edwards Eyewear was created in early 2019 and blends award-winning clinical excellence with cutting edge style and creativity.
Sustainability, individuality and heritage are foremost in each part of our production – where possible we strive to use the very best materials from family run businesses, be that the 100% biodegradable acetate of our frames to the leather in our cases.
Everything we choose is picked for it’s premium aesthetics or superior purpose. Ideally, each design and resulting product is a marriage of both superior form and function.
