Questions people ask

What is the difference between an optical shop and an eye doctor's office?

An optical shop sells and fits eyewear. An eye doctor's office performs exams. Many practices do both — those are marked as offering exams and retail optical in this directory.

Can I buy glasses at an optical store without an exam?

Yes, if you have a current prescription. Glasses prescriptions are typically valid for one to two years depending on state law.

How long do glasses take at an optical store?

Single-vision lenses in stock are often ready the same day; progressive, high-index or specialty coatings usually take three to ten business days. Shops tagged for same-day glasses keep an in-house lab or edger.
