An on-site optical lab, so your glasses are ready sooner
Most optical shops send your order to a lab across the country and wait. We cut, edge and finish many lenses right here at Biltmore Plaza. We keep readers and spherical single-vision lenses in stock, and single vision with astigmatism is usually ready in 1 to 2 business days. Every pair is checked by the people who sold it to you.

FAQ
Good questions
How fast can I get my glasses?
We stock readers and spherical single-vision lenses. Single vision with astigmatism is usually ready in 1 to 2 business days, not counting holidays. Progressives and specialty lenses take longer. Call ahead with your prescription and we will give you a realistic time.
Can you put new lenses in my old frames?
Usually, yes. Bring the frame in and we will check that it is sound enough to edge new lenses into.
