Hey everyone,

my glasses broke and I'm currently using contacts. I work infront of a computer every day so I really need glasses. Most places i've called have told me it will take at least 10 business days to get the glasses (plus the fact they're crazy expensive). I've contacted visions, lenscrafters, and costco. I've also checked online at clearlycontacts/coastalcontacts and their estimates are in November.

Do you know of any optometry shop in calgary that can make glasses quicker? I have a stronger prescription so that's kinda the problem.

Thanks for your help.

if you goto lenscrafters
they can get it to you in an hour
what i'd recommend is getting a "temp" pair from them which will serve until youre "actual" pair come in (with a better lens)
cause they can do plastic or surface lens in an hour, it'll be huge with your rx, but should serve you fine until your real pair come in
(yes that will requirer buying 2 pairs, but once your real ones come in just return your temp pair... you have 90 days to do so)
