Emergency Services
Accidents happen, life must go on
If you wear glasses, then ‘I accidentally stepped on my frames’ can become the new ‘the dog ate my homework.’ Whether you’ve lost or smashed them, waiting days or weeks for a new pair isn’t an option. You can rely on our emergency services to ensure you don’t have to pause your regular activities for too long.
At Ian Donald Optometrist, we can usually make and ready a replacement pair of single-vision glasses in less than 24 hours, depending on the prescription and frames.
How we make it happen
We have an on-site lab to make emergency single-vision glasses in-store fast. Orders placed before 10.30 am usually receive same-day fulfilment.
We’re equipped to assist even with a more complex prescription, like multifocal or bifocal lenses. While it might take a bit longer, we’ll get these repaired or replaced as promptly as possible.
Fast and fashionable frames
As an independent Optometry practice with our own on-site lab, we can hand-fit prescriptions and make replacement glasses promptly. Additionally, we consistently maintain a vast selection of fashionable frames in stock, featuring all your favourite global designer brands. You may even find yourself preferring your new eyewear.
Another temporary solution may be contact lenses, which we keep readily available with an extensive range in stock.
No wait and no stress
Are your glasses lost, broken or stolen? No need to panic. Our experienced eye care specialists can assist you in getting back to your routine. We’re open Monday to Saturday, so contact our team to learn more about our emergency services.
“Lost, broken or stolen glasses? With our on-site lab, we’ll have you seeing clearly again—often the very same day.”
