Depends last time he got checked, prescriptions last for a year. For a glasses wearer it is probably fairly unlikely, but not out of the realm of possibility.
Stormcrow69:
It doesn't matter how long the prescription lasts. It generally takes a week to get new lenses made, as they have to be custom cut and prepared for each pair of glasses. We ARE talking about a world where sentient robots exist, so I'll hold off on starting a rebellion over it. Maybe there's some sort of lens AI that can instantly create them.

There are three opticians in my town that offer same day service for uncomplicated prescriptions and there was once one that offered hourly service. Same for contact lenses. And that's in a world without robots theoretically capable of inhuman precision wandering in off the street looking for jobs.
MaxCaine:
I go to vision express who explicitly offers a 1-hour service, and it's pretty good!

Huh. I just noticed how long this date seems to have been. Long enough to have gotten a haircut (so around an hour or so, if they had to wait), a tattoo (uhm, no idea, but I'd guess about two hours), glasses (finding a frame and waiting an hour, so probably another 1.5 hours), and they've gone to a bar at the end. That's a lot of time for talking. Almost impossible Emily didn't get a glimpse of Clinton's character, even if he tried to hide it. And she still seems to enjoy this evening.
