I had a horrible experience at Stanton Optical. The whole vibe seemed off and nobody was welcoming. I went in to get glasses for my daughter, and the employee helping me barely explained anything — it felt like he just wanted me to pay and leave. I’ve been to Stanton Optical locations in North Carolina before and never had an experience this bad. The employees here seemed unprofessional and customer service was very disappointing.

Wait time was very long
Wait time was very long, getting my glasses was fast but the whole process took hours. The tech had to redo the worst part of the process over also.

Awesome first time experience!
From the moment I walked in the door to the moment I walked out. The people there were very helpful. I’ve never done a telemedicine visit before, and it being my first, I couldn’t ask for a more professional experience. Thank you!

The glasses I received
The glasses I received, which were two pair the prescription is totally wrong in one pair and the other pair the lenses were not good. Quality so I have to be back in in Anchorage and then they charge me more money to repair the glasses that were a poor quality so yeah, not very happy at all. They argued with me that the lenses in my new glasses were not the wrong prescription but they were so now I’m stuck with a pair of glasses with the wrong prescription.

I'll try elsewhere
I had to go back twice due to my payment, however, compared to the first visit - I got a higher quote on the second visit from the same girl and had to change my order. the girl gave me the option to have them mailed to me or to pick them up. I opted to have them mailed. I waited over two months expecting them to come in the mail, they never did. I called and they were waiting at the store. Then I tried them on and they are too strong. I spend 3x as much money as I would have paid elsewhere.
