Can You Get Glasses on the Same Day as Your Eye Exam

To Wait or Not to Wait

You have probably heard the phrase “same-day lenses” in advertisements. While it’s true that you can get your glasses the same day as your eye exam, in many cases it’s best to wait a few days. You should also note that not every optometrist will offer same-day glasses. There are several factors that go into an eye exam, and several things that need to be considered. For instance, you may not be ready to choose frames for your new lenses right after an eye exam. Even if you want to choose your frames right away, the ones you want may not be available. If you need a comprehensive eye exam or vision acuity test to get your prescription, schedule an appointment with us here at Northwest Eye Center!
