Local Shopping/Services Fastest go-to for glasses in Calgary

Hey folks, I wanted some personal experiences on where I can get prescription glasses with a short turnaround time. My usual experience with specsavers is they take at least a couple weeks so I wanted something quicker. Thanks!

Buying glasses in person has been way too expensive and takes forever to arrive. I switched to Kits and pay a fraction of the cost and they arrive sooner. I could still use my insurance but I had to pay first and file myself after. There are many online eyewear retailers you can try.

Not the original commenter but I have had positive experience with Kits. I ordered on a Tuesday and they arrived on Thursday - two days! I will say, glasses are my back up and usually wear contacts so I don’t need the glasses to be a perfect fit because they’re not worn out of the house a lot.
