Its possible you can toss on a generic optic and focus the light better.

Generally Optics are designed with a specif LED in mind to increase efficiency.

If you have a generic Chinese fixture like an Eshine, Cidly or one of many others, it may be best to keep it as is. They go the distance to keep costs down and often use adequate optics to optimize their fixture performance.
