Orders
How long will my glasses take?
For in store orders, we can make most single vision prescription glasses in as little as 30 minutes.
For higher prescriptions, transitions, polarized, safety or progressive lenses we typically quote 10 days, but will do our best to make them faster.
For online orders, it depends on what type of glasses you order, and where you live. Single vision and readers are made same day and can often be shipped the same day. Depending on Canada Post, we expect you might receive these in 3-5 business days from when the order is placed. For progressive style lenses, bifocals, light adaptive lenses, safety glasses and polarized sunglasses we quote 7-10 business days.
Note that we cannot start your order until we receive your glasses prescription. It can be emailed to us at online@secondspecs.com
Where can I get my glasses adjusted?
We would be happy to adjust glasses purchased from us at anytime free of charge at any of our store locations.
In the mean time please have a look at this video for some helpful tips.
We reserve the right to refuse adjustments on any pair of glasses purchased elsewhere as there is always a risk of breakage.
