What Should I Expect During My Same-Day Eye Exam and Eyeglasses Fitting?

If you’ve ever put off getting new glasses because of time constraints, you’re not alone. That’s why Same Day Glasses offers a convenient, streamlined experience where you can get a full eye exam and walk out with your new glasses - all in one visit. If you're wondering what to expect, here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process.
 

Check-In and Brief Health History

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to complete a short form about your medical and vision history. This helps our optometrists understand any existing conditions or concerns that may affect your eye health or vision needs.
 

Comprehensive Eye Exam

Next, you’ll have a comprehensive eye exam conducted by a licensed optometrist. This includes:
 

• Visual Acuity Testing to determine how clearly you can see at various distances
• Refraction Testing to pinpoint your exact prescription
• Eye Health Evaluation, checking for signs of glaucoma, cataracts, and other conditions
• Pupil Dilation (if needed) to get a better view of your retina and overall eye health

This part of the process typically takes 30-45 minutes.
 

Consultation and Prescription Review

Once your exam is complete, your optometrist will review the results with you and provide a prescription if glasses or contacts are needed. If you have any questions about your vision or eye health, this is the perfect time to ask.
 

Eyeglass Frame Selection

Now comes the fun part - choosing your frames! A trained optician will help you select a pair that fits your style, face shape, and prescription requirements. We carry a wide selection of frames for every style and budget, so you’ll be able to try on a variety of options and get expert advice along the way.
 

Lens Customization and On-Site Lab Processing

Once you’ve chosen your frames, we’ll begin crafting your lenses right away. Our on-site optical lab allows us to cut and fit lenses the same day for most prescriptions. We offer a variety of lens options (including single-vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses) as well as lens coatings such as anti-reflective, blue light filtering, scratch-resistant, and UV protection to enhance durability and visual comfort.
 

Final Fitting and Adjustments

Before you leave, we’ll ensure your glasses fit comfortably and are properly aligned to your face. Minor adjustments can be made on the spot to fine-tune the fit, helping to prevent slipping, pinching, or discomfort. Our goal is to make sure your new glasses not only look great but also feel great, so you can walk out seeing clearly and wearing them with confidence.
