Specialist Eyewear Services Worth Travelling For
Looking for replacement lenses, glasses reglazing, designer eyewear or prescription sunglasses near Leicester? At Ilkeston Factory Specs, we provide specialist optical services from our independent optical workshop and onsite laboratory.
For more than 30 years, customers have travelled from Leicester and across the East Midlands to take advantage of our expertise in replacement lenses, frame reglazing and bespoke eyewear solutions. Unlike many optical retailers, we carry out much of our lens glazing and fitting onsite, allowing us to offer expert advice, excellent quality control and fast turnaround times.
Whether you need new lenses fitted into existing frames, specialist prescription sunglasses or a completely new pair of glasses, our experienced team is here to help.
Replacement Lenses for Existing Glasses
If your prescription has changed or your lenses are scratched, damaged or no longer suitable, replacing the lenses is often a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new spectacles.
We can fit new lenses into many existing frames, allowing you to retain glasses that fit comfortably while benefiting from modern lens technology and updated prescriptions.
Our replacement lens options include:
-
Single vision lenses
-
Varifocal lenses
-
Bifocal lenses
-
Thin and ultra-thin lenses
-
Photochromic lenses
-
Prescription sunglass lenses
-
Specialist coatings and tints
Many customers from Leicester choose this service to keep favourite designer frames while improving visual performance.
Glasses Reglazing Specialists
Reglazing allows you to keep your existing frames and replace only the lenses.
This service is particularly popular with customers who own quality designer frames and wish to update their prescription without purchasing a completely new pair of glasses.
Our experienced team will assess your frames and advise whether they are suitable for reglazing before work begins.
Designer Glasses and Independent Eyewear
We offer a carefully selected range of designer and independent eyewear collections chosen for quality, style and comfort.
Whether you're searching for timeless classics, lightweight titanium frames or bold statement glasses, we can help you find eyewear that suits both your appearance and prescription requirements.
Our collections include:
-
Lightweight titanium frames
-
Statement eyewear
-
Prescription sunglasses
Prescription Sunglasses and Bespoke Lens Tints
