SME News Northern Enterprise Awards 2023 / 112 Independent Opticians of the Year 2023 – Cumbria York-Andrews Spectacle Lounge is an independent optical practice that prides itself on delivering a personalised experience for customers. Based in Ulverston, Cumbria, the company uses state of the art equipment in its welcoming and friendly venue. As well as delivering personalised professional eye care, the company is also delighted to be able to supply, what many patients have said is “the best selection of glasses frames in the region.” The patient journey, quality eye care, specialist services and fabulous eye wear are things that draw customers in from near and far. Quirky, designer, modern, or traditional glasses are a personal choice that emphatically reflect the wearer’s personality. This is what is so fantastic about the extensive choice on offer at the York-Andrews Spectacle Lounge. The patient care is one of the definite attractions for customers who travel from all over the UK and sometimes as far away as Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company is proud to offer its customers a premium quality service. As a truly independent practice, they have the liberty to have, longer appointment times. Its care and approachability helps clients to feel more relaxed, and encourages them to feel at home discussing any concerns about their eye health in confidentiality and also allows the team time to understand their visual and lifestyle needs. The detailed and topquality service includes an OPTOMAP, 200 degree retinal scan, which is state of the art, cutting edge technology that saves lives and saves vision. The incredible 200 degree view doesn’t require dilation and is truly spectacular allowing a view of the retina, 5 times greater than the 40 degree photo, which is administered at most high street opticians. Optomap also does a key, extra test, called the autofluorescence, which determines the health and fitness of the cells. The environment at York-Andrews Spectacle Lounge is also a little different to what one might have come to expect at an opticians. It welcomes customers into a warm and inviting locale that is decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, comfortable couches, and other furniture perfectly befitting of the opulent grade 2 listed building where the independent practice resides. The core team at York-Andrews Spectacle Lounge have a long shared history, having first begun working together back in 2013. This was also when the team hit the newspaper headlines for saving the life of a 14 year old girl. Tracey York-Andrews is the company director and company’s own Optometrist (Ophthalmic Optician), Contact Lens and Schoolvision Practitioner. Schoolvision helps to treat Dyslexia, by studying the way the eyes work together, as the patient reads. It’s a very personalised approach to help the patients achieve faster reading speeds, by sorting out issues, such as misalignment. Mrs York-Andrews is really invested in the practice and has a real passion for excellence in eye care. She was even nominated for the Heart of Ulverston Awards Citizen of the Year, thanks to her excellent service and caring approach to eye-care, which helped to save a life. Many lives have been changed for the better as a result of attending the York-Andrews Spectacle Lounge for eye appointments. Its state of the art OPTOMAP retinal scanner has helped the team to pick up on early detection of conditions such as papilledema as well as other serious diseases and sight threatening conditions.
