New transition lenses for my RayBan Meta glasses.
Jef A.

I spent the morning calling all over town trying to find someone who could put prescription lenses into my Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Everyone else told me it would take at least two weeks. Then I found Hour Glass Optical -- and they got it done in just two hours. Not only that, they upgraded my lenses to magnificent transition lenses that look and feel amazing. But honestly, the real standout here was the experience. From the moment I walked in, Kathy and Veronica had me laughing and grinning like I'd been a customer for decades. They were warm, genuine, super helpful, and made the whole process feel effortless. I'm definitely coming back here for all my optical needs -- and if you're reading this, do yourself a favor and make Hour Glass Optical your go-to, too.

Brought in my existing metas And they hooked me up.

What else can be said about a place that takes your phone call 30min before close and still tries to offer to take care of you and bend over backwards to make sure you get some glasses asap I couldn't make it in time and my conscience wouldn't let me keep them late. So we planned on first thing next morning. So I got my butt over and well, Kathy is a gem. A person you want to support. Her team is ON it. Got my sunglassses and regular glasses both. Had great convo and the refreshments while I waited. What else do you need?? Hurry up! Get here!

I was at hour glass optical recently and was very pleased with the service. My wife has been a few different times before me and has also had nothing but good experiences. Thanks!

LOVE my new glasses!!

If I could give them a 10 I would!!! From the minute that I walked in they took care of me!! Listened to what I needed, helped me tirelessly to find the frames that looked best within my price range. Got my progressive prescription in 2 days and for regular prescription they can do same day even! 3 words: Above and Beyond I am purchasing a 2nd pair next month from them even though I live in San Francisco. Hands down this is your place!!

From the moment we walked in, the service was amazing--even the little dogs at the entrance gave us a warm welcome! We found this place through ChatGPT after my son lost his glasses during an excursion in Cabo. His prescription is quite strong, and he can't see well without them, so we were in a tough spot. Surprisingly, it took us longer to get to the store than it did for them to make his new glasses. In just 8 minutes, he had a brand new pair! The glasses are durable, and the price was very reasonable. My son said these glasses are better than the ones he lost! Highly recommend--please make sure to visit this store!

Ask the Community - Hour Glass Optical

It looks like it takes a day to get progressives because they have to order the lenses. Is there a way to get them to order the lenses before I go in, so I can have one-day service? (Don't tell me to call, I'm asking for personal experience.)

It's not possible because whether you are using your own frames or buying new ones they have to do the measurement of your face with the frames on your face.

I am a tourist. Can I have optometry and myopia glasses on that day?

Call them- I bet you can.

I recently went to this optical place for an eye exam without insurance, and they told me I needed…read moreglasses, so I trusted their judgment and spent $600 on a pair. After waiting three long weeks for them to arrive, everything looked blurry and wrong the moment I put them on. When I returned to the store hoping for a refund, they flatly refused--no returns, no money back. Instead, they suggested I pay out of pocket for another exam as a "second opinion," with the vague promise they might help afterward. Frustrated but determined, I did exactly that with a different doctor, who confirmed I don't need any prescription at all. I sent them the new report as proof, expecting a full refund, but they still wouldn't budge. Their only concession was to let me turn the unnecessary glasses into sunglasses for a credit. With no other options left, I reluctantly took them up on that offer--only for it to drag on another three weeks with the glasses still not returned to me. It's obvious their initial exam was inaccurate, their staff refused to take responsibility, and corporate clearly doesn't care enough to make it right. I won't be going back, and I'd strongly advise anyone else to steer clear unless you're okay with the very real risk of being misled, overcharged, and left with no resolution.

The staff is always super friendly and helpful. Drs are wonderful!…read more They validate parking also. (:

First visit here to buy new glasses (had to exhaust my FSA). Staff was super welcoming and…read morefriendly. I walked in with a particular frame in mind, which they didn't have in stock, but started to show me other frames that were comparable in style and look. Ended up finding a frame that was fit my face. The purchase process was smooth, as I still needed to get new prescription (they recommended an optometrist they work closely with) and the whole process took about 2.5-3 weeks (getting my eyes checked took longest). Would definitely recommend to friends, and also go back when I'm feeling the itch for new frames.

They have a good selection to browse through. They'll help to recommend what would be good based on your face shape and eyes. And they'll offer similar styles, etc. They're also really quick and knowledgeable. She pulled a bunch of different options for me to try. And they'll keep the glasses pristine. They'll even offer to clean your own glasses. Once you have your purchase, they'll help adjust the nose bridge and/or the ear area to help fit on your face better. This store is definitely on the more expensive side but you're paying for the quality and service.
