An on-site optical lab, so many glasses are ready the same day
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. That means a lot of single-vision jobs are ready the same day, some while you wait, and every pair is checked by the people who sold it to you.

FAQ
Good questions
Can I really get glasses the same day?
Many single-vision prescriptions in common lens materials can be finished the same day. Progressives and specialty lenses usually take longer. Call ahead and we will tell you what to expect for your prescription.
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.
