Most stores offer same-day pickup, so you can usually collect your glasses on the day you visit. Each store page shows an approximate making time, and progressive or specialty lenses may take 1-2 days.

It is usually free. Look for the "Free Eye Exam" tag on the store page. If you bring a prescription from home, check the prescription note to see whether a re-examination is required.

Can foreign visitors get a tax refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you meet the conditions. Check the "Tax refund" and "Foreign cards OK" tags plus the payment notes on the store page, and bring your passport at checkout to receive the refund slip.
