    I am just after sitting on my glasses... :(

    The frame and one of the lenses is cracked in two. I'm living in Galway city and I need my glasses as soon as 2moro night.
    Would it be possible to go to Specsavers or Vision express etc and get a new frame and lense with short notice and have it done in the one day? :o

    Depends on your prescription. If you explain the circumstances most places will do their best to get it done asap for you.

    You would probably find most independents will be able to help you out pretty quickly too. Most independents usually have the equipment in the shop and a bank of lenses.

    Cool! I only just moved here so I wouldn't know who would be the best to go to, so thought I'd go for Specsavers or Vision Express! :o

    I'm not trying to dis Specsavers or Vision Express. I just wanted to state they are not the only place you can possibly get an instant pair of glasses. Most people don't know that. E.g in my practice we have 2 glazing machines one of them can do fully rimless frames. We also have a bank of standard lenses from + to - 4 sphere and up to a 2 cyl. Anything else we need we can usually get into the shop within 24 hrs
