They were awesome. They gave me a paper with the right prescription for my eyes and I got my glasses in a week and a half. Plus they let make partial payments. This place deserves a round of applause... See more

Employees were very friendly & knowledgeable. The virtual vision exam was different but not bad at all. I never did get a chance to talk to the actual doctor. My only complaint is the waiting around.... See more

We were helped within 5 mins of arrival. Lots to choose from. Received our glasses in about 10 days. 2 for $79 promo made it affordable.

After 4 weeks I had not received my second pair of glasses. No communication whatsoever. I tried to call customer service several times and they didn't even answer. Did not call me back either. I had to go to the store to find out about them. I was told they couldn't find the frame because it was being discontinued. Who leaves frames on the wall that are not available??? I was so upset. Got my money back but not before checking Stanton on the BBB. The BBB won't even rate Stanton anymore! The complaints got so numerous that they dropped their rating. Too bad I didn't check there first. Never would I recommend anyone get their glasses here, but I would definitely tell them to avoid you.

Thought my order was delayed cause of the holiday but called and checked my order and was ready for pick up. Went in and got my glasses promptly, got in and out with no wait.
Their commercial is a complete lie! There is no free eye doctors visit, it costs $100. There is no one day service, your glasses will come in about 10 days. And there is no 2 pairs of glasses for $79.

I normally use the VA for exams but decided it's quicker to use an outside store.
I was happy for exams and same day glasses. The staff was very friendly and considerate of my time. And since there was a glitch with appt they were nice enough to offer discount on my lenses.
Will definitely go back.
Great staff always helpful my glasses broke and I was helped to get a new pair.
Great price and I really like the style
10/10. Super fast and easy and the fact that I got to experience my new vision that same day was amazing!
I got two pairs of glasses for one price. I really like my glasses and I liked that tgg gf e store had multiple options, styles, and different price points.
Didn't get me order right! Didn't apply "transitions" and had to CHARGE me another $144 with their pitiful MANGERS Discount of a whopping 20$....not to mention 2 MORE WEEKS!!! I WOULDN'T recommend them! Don't let the 79$ price FOOL YOU!!!

I strongly feel this is a bait and switch scam. The ad says two pairs of glasses and an eye exam for $79. Add-ons are extra, of course, which is stated. What is not stated, is that if you have a stronger prescription/poorer eyesight, you will not qualify for the deal. They scan your glasses for your prescription before doing any exams, so they actually knew immediately that I wouldn't qualify, but put me through the process of the exam anyway only to tell me after everything was completed that I couldn't get the deal. I had already done the exam, so they would have charged me for it if I took my prescription and went elsewhere, so I just went through with it. Took two full weeks to get my glasses after being told a week and a half. In the future I will pay a little more and go back to Lenscrafters for the up-front costs and 1-hour delivery.

Came in to ask a question about my son who is 15 about contacts. We were able to see a virtual doctor same day and was on a Saturday. Walk-in appt took about an hour. He was able to learn how to put in and take contacts out in the hour time frame. He was able to wear contacts out the same day and we received his 12 month supply of contacts at a very affordable price a few days later. Very happy with our experience. Thank you!
Initial service was great eye examination and personal service.follow up was just ok
The hours on the door are incorrect. I told the staff several times and they failed to correct it. It's literally a piece of paper on the door, not a permanent sign. I went in 4 times and the hours are still incorrect. The staff member I dealt with told me that I was wrong and that the hours are correct and then proceeded to contradict the posted hours. I was told that I couldn't see the dr because it was "too close to closing time" because it was 30 mins til close, not an hour and 30 minutes, like I thought... BECAUSE THE HOURS ON THE DOOR ARE WRONG. So, I scheduled an appt for the next day. My appt was scheduled 30 minutes before closing. I made a comment about how that didn't make sense, as we were leaving.
The next day I had a very negative experience with this same staff member in which he called me "nasty" and basically yelled at me. To be fair, I had interrupted him as he chatted with a different customer. They were just chatting away about her plans for the weekend and what not for at least 15 minutes. I approached the desk multiple times during their exchange, when it seemed that the conversation was coming to a close. Each time they just kept going as she inched toward the door. Finally, as her hand was on the door and she was about to exit, but they were continuing to chat... I interrupted to ask when closing time was and if I should come back a different day. I was concerned about the closing time, as I had my appt moved up by 30 minutes BY THE COMPANY, because the original time was "too close to closing time" and I "wouldn't have time to shop." Like I said the day before... my original appt time didn't make sense. Anyway, he was chatting with the other customer and ignoring everyone else in the store, so I did interrupt and maybe that was rude, but part of customer service is, at the very least, acknowledging all of the customers. (He did not acknowledge me at all as I shopped.) I was concerned because closing time was like 15 mins away and I was under the impression that it was a hard closing time, since they had moved my appointment. Apparently, that is not the case and he gave me a whole lecture about how he does not like to be interrupted and that I "had a bad attitude" and was "being nasty" the day before....presumably because I pointed out the hours were wrong and thought that an appt 30 mins before close didn't make sense. When I tried to explain myself, he talked over me saying "YOU JUST HEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR" which clearly isn't the case, but I was done with his nonsense by that point and just wanted to get out of there as he was all but yelling in my face. He was incredibly rude to me. Much ruder than my interruption had been. I am sure he will have a whole different story where I am the villain, but of the 5 staff that I had interactions with, everyone else was very pleasant. I won't be back, as I don't want to have to possibly deal with this staff member again. He clearly holds a grudge. I was anxious about having to deal with him when I picked up my glasses, but luckily it was other staff instead.
I will say, it was busy the day of my appt and he was the only one there, so he did have several customers to deal with. But he did it in the most ridiculous way possible.... he ignored every single thing except the customer he was currently serving. He didn't even give me or the other customers a nod when we came out of our exam and started browsing the glasses. Just full on ignored everyone. People walked in and just stood at the desk until he finished with the customer he was with. He didn't give them a "be right with you!" or anything. Absolutely wild customer service.
