Lost Your Glasses?
We can often replace them the same day.
What You'll Need
Replacing your glasses is often easier than you think. In many cases, all you need is a current prescription and a few minutes to get started.
To help us replace your glasses as quickly as possible, bring:
- Your current eyeglass prescription, if you have it.
- A photo of your prescription, if it's saved on your phone.
- Your current glasses, even if they're damaged.
- Your insurance information, if applicable.
Don't have a copy of your prescription? We offer comprehensive eye exams in our office most Mondays. If an appointment isn't available, we'll help you find a local eye care provider. Once you have your prescription, bring it back to An Optical Galleria, and we'll get you back on the beach in no time.
How Long Does It Take?
Many prescriptions can be completed the same day. The exact turnaround time depends on your prescription, the lenses you need, and current lens availability.
Single-vision prescriptions are often completed the fastest. Progressive lenses, specialty lenses, and high prescriptions may will require additional time.
Before we begin, we'll review your prescription and explain what to expect. If your glasses cannot be completed the same day, we'll give you the fastest available option and an estimated completion time.
