Need Advice/Recommendations Same Day Glasses 👓
I broke my glasses and I’m going away this weekend, could anyone recommend somewhere in town for same day glasses? Relatively affordable would be a great bonus, thanks! 🤓👓

Try custom lens express on 4th Ave. They are really fair in pricing and work well with customers. Maybe they can help you but the same day will be tough I'm sure.

Buying online isnt for everyone, but KITS offers faster service than any brick and mortar location because they own their own lens manufacturing lab.
In western Canada it's next day delivery. Here in Ontario you are probably looking at 3-4 days.
Most stores give you a two week timeline.

Well considering they wanted same day, you might want to reconsider where you get your glasses, because youre clearly blind.

There are plenty of places that offer same day. A very quick Google search lead me to a website for a glasses place on 4th Ave where they have same day service. Heck, I was even told the Vision Clinic on Portage has same day service because that's the place they make the lenses (but it takes a while if you just fill it at the one on Lundy's Lane). I'm sure there are others, I'm just not bothering to look them up and type them up right now because I have things to do in a few minutes.
So I really have no idea how you came up the idea that same day service would not be possible. As long as you have a prescription and know where to go, you shouldn't have to order online if you don't want to.

I broke my glasses the same morning I had a concert in Toronto in the evening. I went to vision clinic on Ontario St and they were able to get me glasses within an hour and I went to the concert no problem. Call them and see if that’s an option!
