Before you visit

Same Day Glasses Questions

What lenses do you make in your advanced optical lab?

We make ZEISS, Essilor and IOT lenses in our advanced optical lab, equipped with Satisloh and MEI machines. Our opticians help you choose lenses for your prescription, frames and everyday vision needs. Production timing depends on your lens specifications and availability.

Can I get prescription glasses the same day?

Yes. Most single-vision prescriptions, even high-power ones, can be made the same day in our in-house lab. Bring a current glasses prescription, or book an eye exam with us, choose your frames, and we’ll make your lenses on site. Timing depends on your prescription and lens type, so we’ll confirm your pickup time before we start.

Can I really get glasses in one hour?

Yes. Only at View Optical—with our advanced optical lab equipped with Satisloh and MEI machines—we can make glasses for most prescriptions in as little as one hour. Quality comes first. Some lens types and special coatings may take longer; we’ll explain your timing up front.

Do you offer one day glasses if my lenses need more time?

Some lenses that do not qualify for one-hour service can still be made the same day. Other orders require 2–3 day speedy service, including some single-vision high-index lenses and single-vision or bifocal prescriptions outside the +4.00 to −8.00 range. We’ll confirm your order’s production and pickup timing before we start.

Can I get same day progressive glasses?

Yes, for qualifying prescriptions. Same-day options include plastic, polycarbonate, high-index and Transitions progressive lenses without anti-reflective coating, within the +4.00 to −8.00 range. Progressives need precise measurements, so we fit them in person. Anti-reflective coatings require additional time.

Where can I find same day glasses near me in the Bay Area?

View Optical is a walk-in optical store with an in-house lens lab, serving customers from across the Bay Area, including San Jose, Milpitas, Hayward, Union City, Newark and the Peninsula. No appointment is needed to choose glasses; bring your current glasses prescription. If you need a new prescription, book an eye exam. Find our real store address and directions below.

Which lenses qualify for same-day versus 2–3 day service?

Same-day options include single-vision prescriptions, Poly Ultra and high-index Ultra anti-reflective lenses, progressive plastic/polycarbonate/high-index/Transitions lenses without anti-reflective coating, bifocals without anti-reflective coating, and polarized single-vision or progressive sunglasses. The standard prescription range is +4.00 to −8.00. Speedy 2–3 day service applies to some single-vision high-index lenses and single-vision or bifocal prescriptions outside the standard range. Call to confirm your full prescription, lens specifications and frame.

Can you help if my glasses are broken or lost before work or a trip?

Call (510) 793-8997 with your current prescription and the time you need your glasses. Our team can confirm whether an eligible one-hour or same-day order is available. Bring your prescription and current glasses if you have them; if you need a new prescription, ask about an eye exam appointment.

Do I need an eye exam to order glasses?

Bring your current prescription if you already have one. If you need a new prescription, book an eye exam. Our opticians review your prescription and frame selection before making your lenses.

What should I bring for same day glasses?

Bring a valid glasses prescription, not a contact lens prescription, or book an eye exam with us. Bring your HSA or FSA card if you plan to use eligible benefits. Your old glasses can also help us match your fit.

What is the cutoff for same-day pickup?

Call (510) 793-8997 before you travel to confirm today's production availability and latest arrival time for your order. Store closing time is not a guaranteed same-day order cutoff.

Is there an extra charge for same-day service?

There is no extra charge for same-day service. The price of your glasses depends on your selected frames, prescription, lenses and coatings. Ask our team for a quote.

Can I use designer frames for same day glasses?

Yes. Choose from Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci, Ray-Ban, Oakley, Burberry, Versace and many more frames. We make your prescription lenses for them the same day when your lenses qualify.
