Bravo a 10 !!! Fantadtic
From the minute, I walk, walked in the Manager was so helpful and polite. His employees were tentative. There was a very little weight. I have recommended to three other friends which are going out this weekend to purchase them. I got two pairs of glasses. I’ve never worn glasses they helped me fit them to my face. The man took time to come around and speak with me. Ask me how I was doing extremely well mannered I noticed all of these details. I drove an hour to get to the store Grossmont center because I heard it had five stars. The prices were excellent. I will be upgrading as soon as possible to more of the expensive lenses. I’m just trying these out as a temporary solution to see how I feel in the glasses once again I rate the store, wonderful easy parking store was immaculate. I can’t say enough things about it. I’m really really noticed all details about stores. Thank you. I am a style celebrity on television, ABC, etc. have been on television for two decades. I love STYLE and this meets the top level bravo 10, LEONARD SIMPSON.

Very dated space.
My first impression was that the Grossmont site was in need of refurbishment. When I sat down the row of seats moved and I noticed the walls were dirty especially the doors around the handles. It did not look professional. Second I was told when I arrived there was not a Doctor on site, this was off putting as a tech was not expected.

Hello Karin. We’re sorry the condition and cleanliness of the Grossmont location did not reflect the professional environment we strive to provide. We also regret to hear that the eye exam didn't meet your expectations. Please know all prescriptions are reviewed and signed by a licensed doctor. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to continue improving our facilities, communication, and overall patient experience.

Great experience at Stanton La Mesa
The staff at Stanton La Mesa were wonderful. Helpful and kind. Seevar helped me find the frames I was looking for. She spent a lot to time with me selecting the right frame.
John was also very kind and helpful. He found a beneficial insurance that saved me over $100.
I would definitely use Stanton La Mesa again and would recommend them to my friends and family.
Thank you all for a great experience.
