Eye glasses: After you have seen your eye md and you have received a new glasses prescription, you may have the glasses made at an optical dispensary. Some of these can make glasses while you wait, whereas in most cases, the glasses will be made and ready for pickup in 3 to 5 days (which also varies depending on the prescription). Once you pick them up, they should be fitted for you.
