VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron and Dr. Michelle Skowron HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET NEW PRESCRIPTION GLASSES? When ordering new prescription glasses, the lens-making process and delivery time to a doctor's office, vision center, or your home is approximately two weeks. Many providers also offer expedited production and shipping options. Simple prescriptions can sometimes be filled the same day at a provider with an in-house optical lab. If you get your glasses at a doctor's office or vision store, the turnaround time is usually one to two weeks, while online retailers typically take two to three weeks including shipping time. In addition to getting them sooner, another advantage of locally made glasses is that your eyesight can be rechecked when you pick up the new prescription, and the optician can make any needed adjustments to the frames. For all your eyewear needs, please stop by SKOWRON EYE CARE. The newest type of frames are hingeless frames. These frames have no screws, no barrels, and no hinge! Most of these frames are sculpted to fit the shape of the wearer's head. They are normally made of strong materials like titanium and are predominantly rimless. When it's time to buy the best frames to fit your budget and style, look to us! At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. Complicated eyeglass prescriptions, lens modifications, and whether your chosen frames are in stock are the main factors affecting the time it takes to get new glasses. SKOWRON EYE CARE 370 N.
