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.

Not so much with the "same-day" though... If you need emergency replacement glasses, waiting for shipping might be a major issue...

My suggestion was to use Zenni Optical to get a cheap backup pair so that next time you don't need same day service.

Or you could pay for expedited shipping if your broken ones can last a little longer.

Zenni is great, I have like 5 glasses from them. Buying glasses in store must be the biggest markup.
