Why Wait Two Weeks?
At most optical chains and big-box retailers, your frame is boxed up and mailed to a massive, centralized laboratory in another state. It sits in a queue for days, gets manufactured, and is finally mailed back. This process often leaves patients waiting 10 to 14 days for a simple pair of glasses.
At Westwood & Montrose Eye Center, we do things differently.
Our On-Site Laboratory
Our clinic is fully equipped with state-of-the-art digital lens edging technology. We maintain an extensive inventory of premium single-vision lens blanks right here in our office. Because we cut and assemble the lenses directly in-house, we can bypass shipping entirely.
24
Hour Turnaround
For the majority of standard, single-vision prescriptions, our master opticians can precisely edge, mount, and inspect your complete pair of glasses in as little as 24 hours (and often the very same day).
Precision Meets Speed
Fast Never Means Rushed
We do not cut corners. Every pair of glasses manufactured in our lab undergoes the same rigorous quality control checks as a custom laboratory order.
Digital Centration
Even if the lenses are cut in 24 hours, the optical center must be absolutely perfect. We measure your exact pupillary distance (PD) and optical height to ensure the lens optics align flawlessly with your eye.
Premium Coatings
Our in-stock lens blanks are pre-treated with premium, top-tier Anti-Reflective (No-Glare) and Scratch-Resistant coatings. You receive luxury optical quality without the wait.
Verification
Before we hand you your new glasses, the lenses are measured on a digital lensometer to verify that the power, axis, and optical center match Dr. Fouladian’s exact prescription requirements.
Eligibility & Parameters
Our 24-hour service is an incredible convenience, but it is subject to the physical limitations of our in-house inventory and your specific prescription needs.
What requires an outside lab (cannot be done in 24 hours)?
- Most standard Single-Vision prescriptions (Distance or Reading).
- Standard Astigmatism parameters.
- Certain Direct-Pay (Cash) packages.
What qualifies for 24-hour service?
- Progressive Lenses (No-Lines): These are highly customized to your specific frame dimensions and must be digitally surfaced off-site.
- High Prescriptions: Extremely high nearsightedness or heavy astigmatism that falls outside our standard stock lens range.
- Insurance Mandates: Many vision insurance plans (like VSP and EyeMed) strictly require us to send the job to their own contracted laboratories to utilize your benefits.
