What we do at RockOptika

RockOptika is an independent eyewear shop in St Leonards.

We stock a considered range of optical frames and sunglasses across a broad price range — roughly £175 to £450 — chosen for comfort, design and longevity rather than trends alone.

Alongside new eyewear, we offer a full lens glazing service for new prescriptions, reglazing, repairs and thoughtful aftercare, because good frames shouldn’t be disposable.

We’re a real shop, run by real people. You can take your time, ask questions, try things on properly — and yes, have a coffee while you do.

Repairs, lenses, and real service

  • Reglazing & lenses


    New prescription lenses fitted to existing frames, including varifocals, single vision and sunglasses. A simple way to update eyewear you already love.

    We do charge a small fee for reglazing outsourced frames.

  • Repairs, polishing & refurbishment


    From loose hinges and worn nose pads to thoughtful frame repairs and refreshes — we’ll always tell you honestly what’s worth fixing - it usually is.

    The repolish service is a customer favourite. We have clients who bring their specs in every few months - so they're always looking sharp.

  • Appointments & fitting


    Proper fitting, time to talk things through, and no pressure. Book an appointment or just pop in — we’re happy either way.

A place to take your time

We believe choosing eyewear should feel unhurried.

Come in, try things on properly, talk it through, and take a moment. The espresso machine is on early, so let us make you a coffee, and help you find something that genuinely suits you — without pressure or sales patter.

Takeaway coffee, made properly

RockOptika is an independent eyewear shop — and a place you can drop into every day.

We serve takeaway coffee for locals passing through, people waiting on adjustments, and anyone who wants a properly made espresso without fuss.

It’s the same approach we take to eyewear; good ingredients, attention to detail, and no rush. Coffee is available to take away whether you’re buying glasses or not.
