How Same-Day Prescription Glasses Works

The process begins with a wavefront scanner measurement — a non-contact, objective measurement of your refractive error that is significantly more precise than traditional letter-chart methods, capturing not just sphere and cylinder but higher-order aberrations for optimized lens prescription.

After frame selection and lens type confirmation, the lenses are fabricated in the on-site optical lab. Collection is typically 30–60 minutes after order placement. Adjustments are made on collection for a comfortable fit.

Who Is This Procedure For?

Wavefront aberrometry captures the full optical profile of your eye — including higher-order aberrations beyond sphere and cylinder — producing a more complete prescription, particularly beneficial for progressive lens calculation and night vision.

Yes — you will receive a full written prescription that can be used at any optician worldwide. Many patients use it for contact lens orders as well.
