In today’s fast-paced world, waiting a week or more for new glasses simply isn’t practical. Whether you’ve broken your only pair, or want a backup set for travel, same-day glasses can be a game changer. At Krystal Vision, advanced optical technology and an on-site lab make it possible to deliver high-quality eyewear in hours.

The Power of an On-Site Optical Lab

The biggest difference between traditional turnaround times and same-day service comes down to one key factor: location. Many optical retailers send prescriptions to off-site labs, sometimes across the country. That adds shipping time, processing queues, and potential delays. An on-site lab eliminates those extra steps.

With an in-house finishing lab, lenses are:

• Cut and shaped on location
• Mounted directly into your chosen frame
• Inspected immediately for quality and fit

This streamlined workflow means there’s no waiting for outside vendors. Every stage of the lens finishing process happens under one roof, giving optical professionals full control over quality and timing.

The Santinelli Ice-1200 Blocker: Precision at the Core

One of the technologies that makes same-day service possible is the Santinelli Ice-1200 blocker. This advanced system plays a critical role in preparing lenses for edging.

The blocker:

• Accurately centers the prescription on the lens
• Aligns multifocal or progressive designs with precision
• Reduces human error through automated positioning
• Speeds up production without compromising quality

By digitally mapping and securing the lens before cutting, the Ice-1200 ensures each lens is perfectly aligned for both clarity and comfort. This level of accuracy is essential - especially for progressive lenses or higher prescriptions where millimeters matter. The result is faster production times and consistent, reliable outcomes.

Computerized Edging for a Perfect Fit

After blocking, lenses move to computerized edging equipment. These systems:

• Cut lenses to match the exact shape of your selected frame
• Account for frame material and groove placement
• Create smooth, polished edges
• Ensure lenses fit securely and safely

Because the process is automated and digitally controlled, it’s significantly faster than older manual systems while maintaining exceptional precision.

Quality Control in Real Time

Speed means nothing without quality. That’s why every pair of glasses goes through a final inspection before leaving the lab.

Optical professionals verify:

• Prescription accuracy
• Proper alignment
• Frame integrity
• Lens clarity and finish

With an on-site lab, adjustments can be made immediately if needed - no reshipping or long waits required.
