Stock & Non-Stock Lenses

If you are unsure which category your order fits in, we will confirm this once your order has been received in the lab.

Stock Lenses

Lenses we keep readily available in our lab.

We can start glazing as soon as we receive your frames and any required information. Stock lenses typically offer the fastest turnaround, especially when paired with Fast Track or our ULTIMA coating.

Most non-prescription lenses (1.5 index)
Single vision clear (1.5 / 1.6/ 1.67 / 1.74 index)

Non-Stock Lenses

We need to prepare your lenses before we can begin glazing, as these options are custom-made to suit your prescription or chosen tint. They’re typically required for more complex prescriptions or specialist finishes, naturally taking a little longer to complete.
