How We Make Same Day Glasses Happen Across London
Same-day availability depends on two things: your prescription and what we have in stock. For the quickest turnaround, choose single-vision lenses with a frame we already carry - we have a big range, so there's always something for everyone.
Being closer to our Barkingside studio can help us move faster, but we'll always give you an honest timeframe for your area. Varifocals, bifocals, high-index lenses and some coatings are not generally available the same day as they are more complicated to manufacture.
Ask Before You Book
The fastest way to find out where you stand is to call or WhatsApp us with your prescription and postcode. We'll check what's possible before you commit to anything.

Frequently asked questions
Same Day Glasses FAQ
Common questions about same-day glasses, prescriptions and coverage across London.
I'm not near Ilford, Barking, Walthamstow, Stratford or Romford, can you still help?
Often, yes, our coverage extends beyond those five areas. Send us your postcode and we'll confirm honestly whether same-day is realistic for you.
What makes same-day glasses possible in the first place?
Choosing a single vision prescription in a frame we already carry is what lets us make and fit lenses without any delay, wherever you're based.
Does my distance from Barkingside affect how quickly I can be seen?
It can, closer areas are generally easier for us to reach quickly, but we'll always check your specific postcode rather than assume either way.
Which lenses usually take longer than a day?
Varifocals, bifocals, high-index lenses and some coatings are more difficult to make, so they need more time regardless of where you're based.
Do you come to me, or do I need to visit the studio?
That depends on distance and your day. Once you're in touch we'll work out whichever makes most sense.
Are same-day glasses guaranteed the same as any other pair?
Our standards never slip. Your same-day glasses have the same guarantees as our normal service.
