ABOUT US
HOW IT STARTED
The Spectacle Factory began in 1996 because we are passionate about eyewear and believe in offering a different way, a better way of servicing people with eyewear needs. During the
last two decades our business has continually evolved to meet our customers needs.
WE BELIEVE THAT
seeing the best you possibly can is something we can together strive for.
TECHNOLOGY
To guarantee this, we embrace technology and constantly scour the world searching for the latest innovations to find amazing solutions for our customers' visual needs.
Only reputable companies such as Carl Zeiss and Hoya who have high levels of quality control and rigorous testing of their lenses are allowed to manufacture lenses for our customers. Very often we're able to propose a solution the client didn't even know was possible.
SERVICE
We enjoy taking the time to really understand our customers' needs. through in depth conversations we can determine our customer's requirements and identify the perfect solution.
Using advanced software, we show our customers exactly how different lenses can help improve their vision.
Through education we empower our customers to decide which is the best solution for them.
Within our lab, our dedicated technicians give care and attention to each stage of the manufacturing process. Each pair
of spectacles passes through our meticulous quality control process ensuring that every pair of spectacles we make is
perfect.
SPECIALIST REPAIRS.
Our technicians specialise in repairs of many kinds. We're proud that over 90% of breakages can be sorted whilst you wait. Our VIP eyecare scheme entitles you to free repairs where possible for life, so you can relax knowing we're here to help in an emergency.
YOUR GLASSES MADE WHILST YOU WAIT.
Almost all prescriptions are available in single vision from stock, which can be finished in under an hour - so you can take your new glasses away with you. If you choose to have new lenses fitted in your own frame, this means you won't be without your glasses at any point.
YOUR GLASSES CUSTOM MADE.
We have the capability to make a totally unique pair for you, which is ideal when your head size varies significantly from the average or when you love a frame but it needs to be a touch bigger or smaller. You can also choose any shaped lens in any rimless frame.
YOUR SUNGLASSES SPECIALLY TINTED.
On-site tinting means you can have any lens colour/shade/gradient you please. This can be used to enhance your vision for specific activities to achieve the best cosmetic result.
At The Spectacle Factory, we don't believe in producing just a pair of glasses, we produce bespoke pieces of eyewear to give unique solutions to each of our individual customers. With over 90 years of collaborative knowledge and experience our teams at The Spectacle Factory is dedicated to giving you the best choice with the best service at the best prices.
