Thanks in advance!=)

Answer 1

Yes, actually it really isn't that hard at all anymore to find same-day glasses. Also, where ever you got your eye glasses will also probably have same day services. Make sure to go early though, because if you don't they will call you and tell you that you came too late and they will be ready the next day.

EyeMasters. Stay away from Lenscrafters.  

Answer 5

You will have to check with the Wal-Mart Optical nearest you to find out how long of a wait there is on glasses.  I worked for Wal-Mart for 6 years and neither of the stores I worked at that had an Optical department offered same-day service - the labs were too busy.  It was usually a few days to a week before you got your glasses.

You might look into finding a local optician who has his own office and see how busy he is.  You could even buy your own frames online or at the thrift store and have him put in the lenses.  I go to Target for my eye exams these days but from now on I'm just going to buy my own frames and get the lenses put it by a local optician.  It is cheaper that way.
