Quickest turn around time for glasses in NYC

Same day glasses

Same-Day Glasses in NYC

Lost or broke your glasses while you’re in New York City? You’re not stuck squinting through the rest of your trip. Our opticians can get you into a new pair of prescription glasses the same day as your eye exam appointment. We’re one of the few NYC optical stores equipped with advanced in‑house lab equipment—and we keep a wide range of single‑vision lenses in stock to make fast turnaround possible.

As fast as 1 hour

When timing matters, we streamline the entire process: exam (if needed), frame selection, precise measurements, lens cutting/edging, and final fit adjustments—so you can leave with clear vision and a comfortable fit.

Same Day LensES

We keep many single‑vision lenses in stock for same‑day service.

– Uncoated plastic lenses for same‑day tinted sunglasses.
– Aspheric polycarbonate lenses with anti‑reflective coating: power range from +4.00 to -4.00 in all cylinder powers up to -4.00.
– 1.67 high‑index lenses with ultra‑clear hydrophobic anti‑reflective coating: power range from -3.00 to -8.00 in cylinder powers up to -2.00.

Premium Lens Brands

Some premium enhancements may be exactly what you want—beyond what we normally keep in stock. No worries: we can typically get them for you the next business day. Available premium next‑day single‑vision lens options include:

– Zeiss ClearView in all lens materials (Plastic, Polycarbonate, High Index 1.67 and 1.74).
– Zeiss BlueGuard, premium blue‑light filtering.
– Zeiss DuraVision Platinum, premium anti‑reflective coating.
– Zeiss PhotoFusion, premium photochromic lenses (available in all lens materials except 1.74 index).

Same‑Day Glasses (In‑House Lab Advantage)

Having an in‑house lab for same‑day lens edging gives us a real advantage: speed without cutting corners. Your lenses are produced with careful measurements, clean finishing, and quality checks—so “fast” still feels premium.
