Same Day Glasses at Tinson Opticians

Same Day Service

Need Glasses Today?
We Can Help.

Broken your only pair? Lost them on holiday? Need a spare set urgently? At Tinson Opticians, we manufacture lenses on-site — so we can have you seeing clearly the same day.

How Same Day Glasses Work

1

Bring your prescription

Or we can arrange a sight test on the day

2

Choose your frame

From our extensive designer range

3

We make your lenses

Cut and fitted in our on-site laboratory

4

Collect the same day

Ready to wear — no waiting, no couriers

No waiting weeks. No chasing couriers. Just glasses when you need them.

Why We Can Do This

Our on-site Essilor laboratory makes the difference.

Unlike high street chains that send lenses away to central labs, we cut and fit lenses right here in Maidstone. Our professional Essilor edging equipment means we control the entire process from start to finish.

Same day service is available for most single vision prescriptions. More complex lenses such as Varilux progressives typically take a little longer — but we will always give you an honest timeframe.

What You Need

You have a valid prescription

Simply bring it with you. UK prescriptions are valid for 2 years (1 year if under 16 or over 70).

You don't have a prescription

We offer sight tests on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Book in advance and we can often complete your glasses the same day.

You have your old glasses

We can usually read your prescription directly from your existing lenses if needed.

Quality Without Compromise

"Same day doesn't mean cutting corners."

You receive the same quality lenses we put in every single pair — precision cut on professional Essilor equipment by experienced technicians who have been doing this since 1984.
