I've always struggled with finding glasses to suit my high myopic prescription, so the good reviews and encouraging website (mentioning a good choice for high prescriptions) meant that I booked a consultation. I was literally in the shop for less than a minute as I was told that I was partially sighted and that they don't dispense glasses for prescriptions like mine. Not very kind or compassionate to be honest and I was left feeling pretty upset. The shop also had a very strange smell of vomit so in a way having to leave was a blessing! I'm sure their glasses are lovely but in my case the customer service was very disappointing. read more

Brilliant choice of glasses and reasonable pricing, did my glasses while I waited at a lower cost and most places I tried wanted more money for the same thing. The staff are professional and polite and they even offered me and my partner a cup of tea which we have never had anywhere else. It's obviously a opticians that takes pride and they know what they are talking about. 100% satisfied customer. Please show this opinion because they deserve it. read more

I went here for my glasses I had a consultation which I booked on the phone, the shop had lots of choice, I picked police glasses for best and raybans for my sunglasses. They gave me good advice about my vairfocials and coatings for the computer. I cant wait to get them thanks guys read more

Great choice and lovely staff, saved money on my designer glasses, although slightly cheaper on line, but worth the extra few pounds for the service, and back up if ever needed. Thankyou All. read more

I found this place through its website, it looked great so me and my friend decided to take a trip today to get some specs for me. I went in such a nice welcome and decided to have a look at a few frames I wanted something bigger, in the end with the girls advice I went for a police frame and lens was done whilst I waited, thumbs up what more can you ask for read more

My wife and myself had a really disappointing and upsetting experience recently, after being good customers of this company, located at 135, Bath Street, Ilkeston, for several years. We purchased 2 pairs of new spectacles for £185 (not cheap) in July and in October my wife's pair broke. I managed to effect a temporary repair to these but we took them back to the shop only to receive what we can only describe as shocking treatment. My wife took the glasses back into the shop and showed them to Juliette, the Assistant, who immediately stated that 'they are ok and we wouldn't want to get any further involved'. My wife returned to the car to say she felt she had been 'fobbed off' which I felt was really annoying. I went into the store myself and confronted Juliette, who was extremely aggressive and nasty and reiterated that the were not prepared to look at the glasses further. I demanded to see Sean, the proprietor, who I have known for many years. But was told that I wasn't welcome to wait for him in the shop. He returned within 5 minutes and looked at the glasses and mended them with black screws (the glasses are turquoise) but after much whispering with Juliette in the back of the shop came out and began to conduct a sort of 'Kangaroo Court' investigation into what had happened earlier and I walked out telling them both they had lost 2 very good customers. I have been shocked and extremely hurt by the way I have been treated and would never return or recommend this shop after previously being a very loyal customer. Avoid this company at all costs and get your glasses done by professionals - who care about after sales service and providing care when a product has been purchased. Ilkeston Factory Specs clearly didn't. read more

Me and my husband have been going to this shop for many years we have always been satisfied with the price service and staff, even when the owner is busy with another customer within five minutes he always finds time to refit and service my spectacles, nosepads, screws, i would recommend anyone avoids other expensive opticians at all costs and visits ilkeston factory specs located at 135 lower bath street ilkeston, read more

Hi after my wife dropped her metal frame glasses on a bus they were stood on and wrecked ,, ,, we called in Ilkeston factory specs and was shown some modern flexible frame specs so we ordered the bifocal lenses and was very surprised how quick they were ready, just a few days, my wife is delighted with the fitting and look of the new glasses she says that they are comfortable to, there are so many wonderfull choices to and very smart, you can't go wrong as your not paying for over priced charges made by big companies shown on tele ads good luck give them a try they come with a good guarantee to,,very friendly people, and no pressure , :-) Dave read more

Decided to review a local coffee establishment for the first time, and reading through a few local business's I saw this great place I use often in Ilkeston. I read out of interest the few reviews, from my experiences, this business is a very long established provider of lovely specs( myself and wife are testament to that on several occasions). On Monday, we ordered a pair of varifocal glasses each, and a second pair of sunglasses. These are about the fourth or fifth pair of glasses we have both had here The choice has always been good but has gone up significantly over the last three or four years. They were always offering lovely styles and variety, but they seem to have gone into the top designers as well, but still the price was really good. I have had much higher quotes in the opticians, and always end up back at these guys place. I've always been very happy with the glasses from here, my vision and the price. You cannot in my experience question the service, and back up that I have always been given. I like to think I am a decent person and I treat others especially shops how I would want to be treated, it's always worked for me, and I have never had a bad service here. The shop has been refurbished and we as usual were offered tea or coffee too, don't get that at other opticians. It's a great little gem of a business and Shaun is a gentleman. Highly recommend, we need more good honest businesses in the high street. Good luck to them. read more

Great experience here, when buying some new Rayban glasses for driving and some cheaper ones for reading. This shop just gets better and better. Top designer now since last I went at prices better than the other opticians. Lovely staff Shaun and Jules (nothing has been to much trouble in my experience). Power to small business who as this one, certainly give a service in the high street better than most. Shop atmos has risen, feeling more like a designer boutique, but as I say, still very competitively priced even on the designersI had. Got a free coffee and had a nice chat while my glasses were made in ten minutes. Been going for many years and will continue. Thank you very much Factory Specs, see you next time, Maggie x read more
