EXCELLENT Based on 130 reviews Posted on Google Tom CherrierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place is amazing! My glasses broke the night before I was departing on a cruise. I stopped in the morning of the cruise and the wonderful gentleman working there found a new frame that fit my lenses in less than 10 minutes! My gratitude for this shop is endless.Posted on Google Karen HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an experience! Ash and Martin are so friendly and helpful. They helped me to find three pairs that I really liked. I only went in for one pair and ended up getting two because the cost was so reasonable [and it was too hard to choose between them]. Both pairs with anti-glare, anti-scratch advanced varifocal lenses with reactor light! I can't wait until they are ready to collect.Posted on Google Susan QuinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well, what can I say I have truly been blown away by this place. I had never heard of it before just found it by chance and so glad I can get to it quite easily. I had read the reviews and well, wanted to believe them but not quite sure, seemed a bit to good to be true but felt I had to try as I have a high prescription and usually have to pay a lot of money to get them looking good. Believe all the reviews as everything people say about these two guys is absolutely true. I don’t write many reviews but this I had to do. I ended up with three pairs that’s how good they are with prices and down to earth really lovely guys.so professional and helpful but not pushing in anyway. I had a little adjustment made today to one pair and now they are great! Thank you so much ash and Martin.Posted on Google Ken huxstepTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went once to try them out as have read good reviews, The service was friendly and not pushy as most opticians are,trying to push you into extras. Got my new glass's within a week. So happy with service and price,well worth the visit.Posted on Google victory etadafimueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My glasses accidentally broke after I’d had them for less than a year, and replacing them was a completely unexpected expense. I visited Specsavers and Vision Express, but the cost of replacing my glasses was quoted at around £200 and £600 respectively which was really overwhelming. Then I met Martin at Eyewear Factory. What an incredibly kind, cheerful, and genuinely caring gentleman. He didn’t just repair my glasses—he took the time to help, and his customer service was exceptional. He fixed them beautifully for only a tiny fraction of what I had been quoted elsewhere. I honestly couldn’t be more grateful. Instead of having to spend a fortune on a new frame and lenses, Martin fixed my glasses, and they now look as good as new. You would never know they had ever been broken. Thank you, Martin, for your kindness, professionalism, and outstanding service. You were truly an angel sent my way on the day my glasses broke. I highly recommend Eyewear Factory to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and genuinely caring service.Posted on Google Ellie ShuklaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. saw ash at branch ,he was honest polite and extremely professional and down to earth ,decent good reliable place and people would highly recommend,thanks again , harry ,review left through daughters account as mine not working ,thanks again guysPosted on Google Mike ZhangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Compared to large chain eyewear stores, here you receive more personalized and exceptional service. Martin is very helpful and his professionalism is unmatched.Posted on Google Samantha JaneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since becoming a customer I have had the best service from this company. I also know that whatever information Ash provides is always the best for that individual customer. The price he quotes for my lenses are always cheaper than going to the opticians(namely my own). 🤓Posted on Google helen jermeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had my glasses for almost a year now and they're the best pair I've ever had. I will definitely be going back there for my next pairPosted on Google Pete AubreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had a pair of sunglasses for a few years that I really like, but I’d stopped wearing them because I prefer to wear prescription lenses now. With the help from both Martyn and Ash on different visits at the Eyewear Factory in Shirley Southampton I decided to go for an extractive varifocal lens which they were able to have made to fit my frames. The benefit is that they will tint up in the car, where my old transition didn’t. I’ve had a lot of glasses from various high street opticians over the years, and I genuinely feel these are the best I’ve had and excellent value. And they adjusted the frame to fit properly, fitted new nose pads and sonically cleaned them, the difference is great. Thank you both. 😎
