Customer Reviews
What a find! Reglazed my glasses with new prescription. I hadn't had them long and a new pair seemed so unnecessary. Customer service was so good. Any questions sorted quickly by Shaun, saved me hassle and a lot of money. Lorraine on Google.
Got a few pairs of sunglasses done here, really quick service, perfect, thanks so much! Charles on Google.
I had my old glasses reframed. They have been super helpful. The whole process took less than 15 minutes. I am so happy with my new frames.

Second time using Ilkeston factory specs for prescription lenses inserts for my pilla shooting glasses.

Friendly and welcoming.
I Can’t recommend this shop highly enough for quality and price.
10/10. Dominic on Google
Having developed an allergy to my frames and being told by the original optician that I’d need to buy new glasses I was really hoping you’d be able to help me.
The service I received was first class and my original lenses were put into new frames in an hour. I’ll definitely be back
Thank you, a brilliant experience all round. Gwen Google
Visited this morning with my prescription for some sunglasses. Very helpful, lovely owners and my glasses were ready in 2 hours. Would highly recommend this shop. Serena on Google
