One Hour Eyeglasses

Can I Get My Glasses Today?

How do we make your glasses in about an hour?

We operate our own in-house optical labs, using very sophisticated, computerized equipment:

1. MEI EASYFit TREND Lens Edger from Italy: It “edges” (custom-shapes) eyeglass lenses to fit any frame, But that’s just the beginning! The MEI EasyFit Trend features an automated Total Quality Control (TQC) system. After edging the lens, its built-in instruments automatically check the following optical parameters before releasing the lens to the lab technician:

• Lens Power: Ensures the lens matches the prescription.
• Centering: Verifies the optical center is perfectly aligned.
• Size: Checks the physical dimensions of the lens to ensure a perfect fit in the frame.
• Axis: Validates the correct orientation of the cylinder and axis for astigmatism.

2. Visionix Briot Scan 8 Frame Tracer: The Briot Scan 8 is an automated mapping machine used in optical labs to capture the exact shape and size of your eyeglass frames. It acts as a digital tailor, using a tiny probe to trace the inside groove of a frame so an automated cutter can create a perfectly fitting lens.

How it Works (The Tracing Process)

• The Probe: A tiny, mechanical "stylus" gently glides along the inner groove of the empty eyeglass frame.
• The 3D Map: As it glides, the machine records hundreds of measurements to map out the frame's width, height, curvature (base curve), and depth.
• The Digital Blueprint: It converts these physical measurements into a highly accurate 3D digital file.
• Cutting: This digital file is then sent to an automated lens cutter (MEI EasyFIt Trend edger) that shapes the actual glass or plastic lens so it snaps into the frame perfectly.

Why it Matters:

If lenses are cut by pure guesswork, they will either pop out if too small, or crack the frame if too large. The Briot Scan 8 ensures that your prescription lenses fit snugly and safely, giving you distortion-free vision and preventing fitting errors.
