same day glasses?

Hey, I broke my glasses frames yesterday, and am though my husband was able to repair them with superglue, I'm not confident in how long they will hold up.

I seem to recall that LensCrafters can make glasses on the same day you visit them (though I could be wrong), and am wondering a) if anybody can confirm this, and b) whether there are any local eyeglass places that provide the same service.

If your lenses are OK and you only need new frames the issue is getting frames that fit the particular shape of your lenses; many shops have lots of frames in stock and can likely find a some that fit.

Interesting thought. Might not have worked so well with my old lenses, which were fit for half-hexagonal frames, but this is a basic idea that I really ought to keep in mind in general.
