“The best glasses I’ve ever had!” That’s what Ferenc Van Esch thinks of his glasses from The Spectacle Factory.
Born in The Netherlands, Ferenc has lived in the UK for over 20 years and has been a loyal customer of The Spectacle Factory for the past eight years.
He’s most impressed with the level of detail he can now see.
Ferenc comments: “I always thought my eyesight was quite good until I started wearing glasses in my thirties. I then realised what I had been missing. However, the glasses I have from The Spectacle Factory take this to a whole different level. I am stunned at the level of detail I can now see with the glasses I have from them.”
This is one of the distinguishing features of The Spectacle Factory, as their eye testing procedure is so much more comprehensive than other opticians.
Robert Sands who manages The Spectacle Factory, comments: “People assume all glasses are the same and you get the best vision once you’ve had your eyes tested and glasses provided by your opticians, but that just isn’t true.”
The Spectacle Factory’s eye test is much more thorough and their ‘I.profiler’ test assesses the unique shape of the eye, which is actually more unique than an individual’s fingerprint!
This provides a much more objective test based on the customer’s eye and as a result the prescription is 25 times more accurate than a standard test, ensuring the best vision possible for every customer.
As well as a more accurate prescription, The Spectacle Factory also understand that every pair of glasses sits differently on each person’s face. They use their VisuFit 1000 to refine the chosen frame providing the most comfortable fitting pair of glasses.
Robert believes the process of buying glasses in the UK could be improved.
He states: “Once an eye test is complete people are presented with walls displaying hundreds of pairs of glasses, and they have no idea where to start. It’s completely different at The Spectacle Factory as we get to know each individual customer and consider what will look good on their face, what will fit well and equally importantly, which glasses reflect their personality.
“That way, they only have to choose from a handful of pairs, making the whole process of selecting glasses much more relaxed, fun and stress free.”
Ferenc has three pairs of glasses from The Spectacle Factory – his everyday glasses, sunglasses and safety ones for work.
Safety glasses are vital for certain jobs and research shows that in the US alone there are 3,000 eye injuries a year as people aren’t adequately protected.
Fortunately, the safety glasses at The Spectacle Factory meet all the safety criteria and look like a sporty pair of glasses, rather than the chunky goggle type ones we’re used to seeing. With one pair of glasses providing a combination of safety and the correct vision, customers get the best of both worlds.
The support at The Spectacle Factory continues well after you’ve purchased your glasses.
Robert and his team are keen for the glasses to last as long as possible providing each customer with excellent value. Every six months the glasses are serviced, where they are deep cleaned and all fittings tested ensuring a long-term happy glasses’ wearer.
Robert concludes: “We see glasses as an investment and everything we stock is of superb quality from the top manufacturers and designers in the world. Glasses aren’t just a style statement, we want them to be as comfortable and durable as possible. With Ferenc working away for several months at a time he needs the quality and reliability all our glasses offer.”
As well as being the best glasses he’s ever had, Ferenc’s everyday glasses perfectly reflect his personality, they’re sophisticated, smart and straightforward, just like him!
