Visit Us For The Ultimate Eyewear Experience—Here’s Why…

A visit to The Spectacle Factory in Bamber Bridge is more than just choosing glasses—it’s a personalised, innovative optical experience designed just around you. From cutting-edge vision technology to bespoke eyewear and incredible customer service, we proudly deliver what many call the gold standard in optical care.

Coming from afar? We’ll make it easy.

We’ll arrange a stay in a luxury hotel to make your visit smooth and stress-free. And when you spend over £600, your overnight stay is completely on us.

Step 1: A Warm Welcome with Reassurance in Mind

From the moment you arrive, we focus on your comfort and care. You’ll be welcomed into a calm, contemporary space with a complimentary hot or cold drink—no rushed appointment or uncomfortable waiting room.

Since 1996, we’ve built a reputation for being an innovative and knowledgable opticians. We combine our expertise with personal service; between our team, we bring over 100 years of optical experience to every consultation.

Our warm, friendly team take the time to get to know you personally, providing genuine care and attention so we can understand your lifestyle, your visual challenges, and your sense of style. That way, we create eyewear that truly fits you in every sense.

Step 2: A World-Class Eye Examination

Beyond simply checking your eyesight, we deliver a world-leading eye examination experience — combining unparalleled precision with the latest state-of-the-art technology.

For example, one of our machines, the 'Zeiss i.Profiler® plus' that you will be measured with, uses wavefront aberrometry to scan over 1,500 unique points across your eye, capturing how light passes through each layer of the cornea and lens. It identifies even the tiniest visual irregularities—called higher-order aberrations.

The result? A prescription that’s fine-tuned and is 25x more accurate than a standard eye exam. Allowing optimal vision, particularly in low-light conditions, night driving, or screen use.

Alongside this, we perform an advanced OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scan, which produces detailed 3D imagery of the retina and optic nerve. This allows us to detect the earliest signs of serious eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy—often years before symptoms appear.

By combining results from your eye test, i.Profiler®'s ultra-precise vision mapping with OCT’s deep retinal imaging, we’re able to not only correct your sight but help preserve your long-term eye health.

This level of detail and care is what truly sets us apart from typical high street opticians—and it’s the foundation for the customised eyewear experience that follows.

Step 3: Bespoke Eyewear, Designed Around You

Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, our expert team takes the time to understand you—your lifestyle, your work, and how you use your vision every day. Only then do we recommend the options that suit you best. Our advice is guided by knowledge, integrity and experience, ensuring you have all the information you need to make a confident, informed choice

We believe your glasses should be as individual as you are. That’s why we offer a wide variety of carefully curated, quality frames from all over the world. From small, unique designers to well known luxury brands - we have something to suit all types of personality, style and taste.

When it comes to lenses, we offer a wide range of options — and our team will guide you in selecting the perfect ones based on your unique needs and lifestyle. We take the time to explain every recommendation, helping you understand not just what we suggest, but why — empowering you to make informed decisions about your vision.

Using the measurements from your eye exam, we combine the results with our i.Scription® technology, to create lenses that enhance contrast, reduce glare, and improve clarity in dim lighting.

One of the features that truly sets us apart is our exceptional range of lens tints and coatings — so unique and tailored that clients travel from around the world to experience them.

These enhancements aren't just aesthetic; they’re engineered to elevate comfort, performance, and protection. Whether you're after advanced light filtering, blue light control, or custom aesthetic finishes, we offer the ultimate in bespoke lens personalisation.

Step 4: Precision Measurements with the Zeiss VisuFit 1000

Once your frames and lenses are selected, we use the Zeiss VisuFit 1000—a revolutionary 3D facial scanning system that captures over 45 million data points. This allows us to position your lenses with absolute precision for maximum clarity, comfort, performance and that special finishing touch - especially important for high or complex prescriptions.

Step 5: Collection and Fitting

If your eyewear can be completed on the same day, our express glazing service means you can leave with your new glasses in hand.

If your lenses are complex and require more time to be produced, when they are ready, we will arrange a collection appointment at a time that suits you. During your visit, we’ll check your vision, carefully adjust the fit, and make sure you’re completely happy with how your new eyewear looks and feels before you leave the store.

Step 6: Aftercare That Truly Cares

Our service doesn’t end at the collection. With passion and dedication, we provide continuous support and personalised care to ensure your experience exceeds expectations long after your investment.

From expert advice and adjustments to answering any questions you may have, we’re committed to being there for you every step of the way — because your satisfaction and vision health matter to us far beyond the purchase.

To support you, we offer:
