Ilkeston Factory Specs optical lab and Prestige Bespoke Eyewear Boutique

Went in to Ilkeston Specs for my new reading glasses today.They are really nice frames, which I was helped to pick by the girl in there,and I have to say they are exactly what I was looking for. I have had some Raybans for driving in and some cheaper glasses for reading, but both really nice and comfy and stylish. Prices are good too, I'm really glad I went. Thankyou to all the staff at the shop, for making it easy and saving me some money from my quote in the opticians. Maggie x

Called 10 minutes before to see if they could reframe my lenses as the arm on my glasses had snapped off.

They got me in and within the hour they had reframed my lenses and made them look sparkly clean like brand new.

Friendly service and great to deal with. Just keep in mind they only accept cash so make sure you're prepared for that (a walk to Tesco's ATM passes the time while you wait though).

I dropped my relatively new glasses, chipping both lenses.
My usual opticians quoted me twice the price of Ilkeston Factory Specs to replace the lenses.

Making an appointment I met Shaun and Jules who was welcoming and friendly,
The expertise and knowledge was reassuring and confident for them to reglazing both pair of my designer frames glasses.

I can honestly say nothings to much trouble, when I arrived I had my prescription sunglasses lenses which had dropped out, he took them explaining why they had and modified them with no charge.

When I collected my reglazed glasses I was total amazed at the clarity, some thing I had not experienced for a while.
He had noticed a discrepancy in my old lenses prescription and made sure the new lenses were perfect.

I would highly recommend you try Ilkeston Factory Specs.

I needed some new lenses in some in my favourite glasses

Shaun was Amazing he dies the lenses on site. No waiting
No waiting personal service n great price in Ilkeston Wow

After finding a frame I had been looking for for a while elsewhere, I sent them to Ilkeston Factory Specs to have my first pair of varifocal lenses glazed into them. As I have worked in an opticians before, l knew how to measure the heights for the varifocals. Within a couple of days, Shaun emailed me to say that they had received the frame and that they had ordered the lenses. It only took a few more days and to get the glasses and I was kept informed by Shaun all throughout the order and delivery. The lenses look great and I have had no problems adjusting to the lenses. Thanks so much. Amazing customer service and will recommend to all.

I called Ilkeston Factory Specs this morning (a Saturday!) after a bit of a specs emergency and they not only had my high prescription in stock but said they were able to make them the same day! I live an hour away but was happy to travel to Ilkeston and am so glad I did. I explained what I was looking for in a pair of glasses and what I didn’t like. The lady helped me pick a pair of frames that not only suited me but would be the best fit for my higher prescription. The gent who fitted the lenses did an incredible job, taking time to polish the edges of the lenses, fit the glasses properly, and do everything to make them the best pair of glasses I’ve ever had! From walking into the shop to my glasses being finished and ready it was less than an hour. Really lovely people who genuinely want to help and provide a great result. They listen to what you want and explain what the best options are and why. They have a massive choice of frames for all budgets including high designer brands. A completely bespoke service, I felt like a VIP, and my specs cost less than from a big high street shop (plus I had my glasses within the hour!). These guys really know what they’re talking about and after 25 years of wearing glasses I now understand why my previous pairs from Specsavers have been so bad! I will make the journey to Ilkeston Factory Specs in the future every time. Thank you SO much. Support your independent businesses and get a better service and product.

Excellent advice and service. I bought a pair of Tiffany glasses a few months ago and had a problem with the arm not sitting right. Sean, the owner, has altered them to be the comfortable glasses ever. I really loved the look of them so was highly delighted that they could be amended, without any extra charge! Fantastic! Can't fault this shop, it's staff or the service. Well done!!

What a brilliant set up they have there. From the moment I walked into the shop, their customer service started to show just how good they are.
When I asked if they could re-glaze my existing frames, I was asked if I would like a cup of coffee!
Sean really knows his lenses, he went on to explain each type of vary-focal lens, and how they would work.
He then took several measurements to ensure they were REALLY suited to my eyes and face.
He also explained how the anti-glair/hard coating (which I had requested) was applied.
The result was an exceptional pair of glasses, far better than previous ones AND fitted to my exiting frames for far less cost than new specs - What more could I ask for.
Thank you both for an excellent service.
I will be recommending Ilkeston Factory Specs to other people in the future.
