Unique Optical Services You Won't Find at Most Opticians
At Ilkeston Factory Specs, we provide a range of specialist optical services that are difficult to find through traditional high-street opticians. Thanks to our onsite laboratory, extensive experience and carefully selected eyewear collections, we can offer services ranging from replacement lenses and glasses reglazing to bespoke lens tinting and specialist frame solutions.
Customers regularly visit us from Derby, Nottingham, Long Eaton, Beeston, Heanor and surrounding areas for specialist eyewear services.
Whether you are looking to keep your existing frames, upgrade your lenses or find unique eyewear that suits your style and prescription, our experienced team can help.
Specialist Replacement Lens Services
Many people are surprised to learn that replacement lenses can often be fitted into existing frames without purchasing a completely new pair of spectacles. Whether your prescription has changed, your lenses are scratched, or you would like to upgrade to newer lens technology, our replacement lens and glasses reglazing services can provide a practical and cost-effective solution. We can often fit new prescription lenses into existing frames, helping customers keep favourite designer glasses while benefiting from updated vision correction. For urgent requirements, some jobs may also qualify for our 1 Hour Glasses Service.
Bespoke Lens Tinting & Prescription Sunglasses
We offer a wide range of prescription sunglasses, custom lens tints and specialist coatings designed to improve comfort, reduce glare and create unique eyewear tailored to your requirements. Many customers also choose react-to-light lenses for everyday convenience.
Unique Designer & Independent Eyewear
We carefully select eyewear brands and collections that offer something different from standard high-street options. Whether you prefer designer glasses with understated elegance, bold statement frames or distinctive designer and titanium styles, we can help you find eyewear that combines comfort, quality and individuality.
Extra Large, Wide Fit & Small Glasses Specialists
Finding frames that fit correctly can make a significant difference to comfort, appearance and lens performance. We offer solutions for customers who struggle to find glasses that fit well, including extra-large, wide-fit and smaller frame options.
Lightweight Titanium Glasses
Titanium frames are renowned for their strength, comfort and lightweight feel. They are an excellent choice for people seeking durable eyewear that remains comfortable throughout the day while maintaining a stylish appearance.
While You Wait Optical Services
Thanks to our onsite optical laboratory, we can often provide faster turnaround times than businesses that rely entirely on external glazing centres. Some jobs may qualify for our same-day glasses service.
Replace Broken Glasses Frames
A damaged frame does not always mean replacing your lenses as well. In many cases, we can help transfer existing lenses into a suitable replacement frame, helping you get back to wearing your glasses as quickly as possible.
If your frame has broken, our broken glasses reframe service may allow your existing lenses to be fitted into a suitable replacement frame, helping you avoid the cost of completely new spectacles.
Prescription Sports Glasses & Specialist Eyewear
Whether you require sports eyewear or sports eyewear inserts, specialist lens combinations, replacement lenses for existing frames or bespoke optical solutions, our experienced team can often provide services that are difficult to find through traditional high-street opticians. Our independent approach allows us to offer tailored recommendations based on your prescription, lifestyle and frame requirements. We offer glasses for sports including cycling, fishing with polarisation, snooker and golf. We supply glasses for driving in daylight and at night and react-to-light lenses that work behind the car windscreen.
