Waiting for a new pair of glasses can be exciting, but many patients wonder, "How long will my glasses take?" or "What happens when I pick them up?"
At Shirley Eye Care, we aim to make the glasses pickup process as simple and efficient as possible. This guide will walk you through how long it takes to receive your glasses, what to expect at pickup, and why ensuring a proper fit is essential.
How Long Does It Take for Glasses to Arrive?
The average turnaround time for prescription glasses is about two weeks (10 business days) from the time you place your order. This timeframe allows for:
- Lens Manufacturing & Customization: Your lenses are crafted according to your prescription, including any coatings (such as anti-glare or blue light filters).
- First Inspection at the Lab: Every pair of glasses undergoes a quality check at the manufacturing lab before being shipped to our office.
- Final Inspection at Our Office: Once your glasses arrive, we double-check the prescription and lens quality to ensure accuracy.
Once your glasses pass both inspections, we’ll call you to let you know they’re ready for pickup.
Do I Need an Appointment to Pick Up My Glasses?
No appointment is required for glasses pickup! You can stop by at your convenience during our normal business hours.
Quick & Easy Pickup Process (Takes About 10 Minutes):
- Proper Fit Check: One of our experienced opticians will ensure your glasses fit comfortably on your face.
- Vision Clarity Test: We’ll confirm that your new lenses provide clear vision and match your prescription.
- Adjustments & Customization: If needed, we’ll adjust the nose pads, tighten the frame, and ensure proper lens alignment for optimal comfort and performance.
Our goal is to make sure you leave with glasses that not only improve your vision but also feel great to wear.
How Can I Pick Up My Glasses Faster?
To make your pickup process even smoother, consider the following:
- Stop by at least an hour before closing: This ensures we have enough time for adjustments if needed.
- Bring your old glasses (if applicable): Comparing your new lenses to your old ones can help us fine-tune the adjustments.
- Ask about additional lens care products: We offer cleaning solutions and protective cases to help maintain your glasses.
Why the Glasses Inspection Process Matters
Some patients wonder why glasses take up to two weeks—but these extra steps ensure:
- ✅Precision: Your lenses are crafted and verified to match your prescription perfectly.
- ✅Comfort: The fit is checked and customized for all-day wear.
- ✅Quality Assurance: Our final inspection ensures there are no lens defects or frame issues.
Taking the time to get it right means your glasses will provide the best clarity, comfort, and durability.
