I felt misled by the promise of same day glasses. I was not advised this was for single vision lessons until I was done with my exam. My exam was also conducted by a tech and reviewed offsite by a Dr which I did not like. When I received my glasses, they were not right. I had to bring them back as I could not see properly at mid distance and had to move my head around to see up close. I had to return them to the store and wait another 7-10 days. I asked them to mail them to me as the store is 45 minutes from me and I didn't want to keep driving there. If the glasses are not correct this time, I will need to see the Dr, who is onsite one day a week. I regret my decision to go here, especially since I didn't get what I originally went there for.

Uh oh!
We were camping and my daughter lost her glasses in the river. We drove 50 minutes to Stanton Optical. 15 minutes we had glasses picked out and 25 minutes later they were ready! They saved the day!

I felt the visit was not very personable. I would have liked to talk to a doctor during my visit. None of the blue tag glasses fit my face. I felt forced to buy up. I am not sure I will come back next year.

Hi Michael, we're sorry to hear that your eye exam experience and the selection of comfortable frames didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to offer a wide variety of frames at competitive prices; all prescriptions are reviewed and signed by licensed doctors. We’ve escalated your concerns for further review to make sure we address them properly. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us.

After dealing with Stanton Optical for six months because they could not get the prescription right on my glasses. I ended up with three pairs of glasses that I spent over $472 for. Only one was right. It was $200. Devon, who is in charge of the Stanton Optical on Fairoaks Boulevard wouldn’t deal with me at all. All he would do is give me a refund. I asked him to put the prescription on there so I could go somewhere else and he did not. He would not even tell me which credit card would be credited in 3 to 5 business days. DO NOT USE STANTON OPTICAL FOR YOUR EYE WARE NEEDS…..

Hello Monica. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the prescription issues and the difficulties you encountered while trying to resolve the situation. We understand how disappointing it must have been after multiple visits and purchases. We'll be escalating this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed. We appreciate your feedback.
Lovely employees, but understaffed location.
The workers were polite, professional, and as helpful as they could manage. That being said, the store desperately needs more employees. The wait was very long, and the workers were doing their absolute best, there simply wasnt enough staff to help everyone efficiently. Management needs to be more proactive with their hiring.

Pretty good selection of frames
Pretty good selection of frames.
I dont like that I was charged for a test I didn't ask for. I went expecting to spend around 90$ but I spent almost 200 because of a test they didn't inform me of.
