The business, on Shirley Road, has been trading for seven years and boasts a host of five star reviews for its impressive service and prices.
Ash Mehta, from The Eyewear Factory, told the Daily Echo: "We believe that everyone has the right to buy quality glasses at a fair price.
"We source our frames and lenses direct from the same manufacturers as other independent high street opticians, guaranteeing that our patients get superior quality prescription glasses at a fraction of the price.
"We own our own optical laboratory, we do not have to cover optometrists' salaries and overheads, which allows our patients to save a fortune on their next pair of quality glasses.
"Not only do we provide quality glasses at factory direct prices, our patients also receive superior service and care from our friendly team with over 40 years of experience in the optical field.
"We believe in help and advice, not hard sell, in fact our owners are always on hand to ensure that everyone enjoys a wonderful experience at The Eyewear Factory. Don't just take our word for it, check out our 5 star reviews on Facebook and Google."
Like all businesses, The Eyewear Factor was badly impacted by the Covid-19 lockdowns, which stopped the whole country going about their normal business for months on end.
They managed to survive despite the downturn in business on the high street and are now busier than ever before.
A frame reglaze service, to avoid wasting good frames, is also available at The Eyewear Factory.
