Your transaction is correct, there is no problem with it. You bought the frame and entered into a valid manufacturing contract (istisna') with the optician for the medical lenses. The term ( أجل ) is established by your agreement to deliver tomorrow. The condition of specifying a term in a manufacturing contract is a point of contention among scholars; some prohibit specifying it, while others require it.
