LensCrafters Encinitas came through for me when I really needed it. I had an online contact lens order delayed and I was completely out of contacts. The team was calm, kind, and incredibly helpful, and they were able to get me set up with PRECISION1 for Astigmatism and even provided five days’ worth so I wasn’t stuck.
Fast, professional, and genuinely caring — thank you!

I picked up my first pair of prescription glasses (ever)here at LensCrafters Encinitas and highly recommend coming here
Fortunately, I was advised to purchase the warranty, and I unfortunately sat on my brand new glasses four days later….. and SMUSHED them… 24 hours before an international trip
I came to the shop and Paige/Elia We’re able to take out my prescription lens, and pop them in a new frame and send me on my way within 10 minutes
10/10 recommend coming here!!!! Thank you!

Went to have frames tightened up on three pairs of my daughter‘s glasses. Paige took care of it quickly, and then I was surprised to find out there was no charge. Much appreciated!

Terrible customer service. Sold me glasses lenses that scratched and peeled (anti-reflective layer coming off). Instead of properly assessing and taking accountability, all they do is swiftly blame the customer for “rubbing the lenses.” Another eye center analyzed the lenses and confirmed the peeling is due to either low quality or poor construction.
Waited 30 minutes for assistance only to have the technician start helping someone else and not return. Instead of apologizing and reassuring she’ll come back to help me, she ignored my request for assistance. 15 minutes later of getting no attention, I just left without anyone realizing or caring.
Worse, they had told me they “accept VSP” but failed to disclose they are not in network. I only learned this after going to another eye center that was actually in network. Surprise, I had over $200 coverage compared to the $70 that LensCrafters told me my insurance had. I was misled and felt deceived.
Why give your business for low-quality products, complete lack of transparency, nonexistent customer service? I won’t step back in again.
Taking your child to an optometrist for an eye exam is the best way to learn if your child needs glasses. Many children who need glasses aren’t aware that they do. Signs of vision problems in children include sitting too close to the television, squinting, sensitivity to light, difficulty with eye-hand coordination, and avoiding visual activities like reading and drawing. To see if your child needs glasses, schedule your child’s eye exam today.
Is a contact lens exam different than an eye exam?
A normal, comprehensive eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. During your contact lens fitting, detailed measurements of your eyes will be taken to determine the right contact lenses for you. There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients). Schedule your eye exam today to have all of your questions about contact lenses answered.
What is the difference between an eye exam and a vision screening?
A comprehensive eye exam is administered by an optometrist and can detect not only vision problems but problems with eye health and general health as well. A vision screening is typically performed by a general medical practitioner such as a pediatrician or a nurse. While a vision screening can help identify vision issues, it can miss many important issues that a comprehensive eye exam can identify. This is why everyone is encouraged to get annual eye exams. Schedule your eye exam today!
Why should I get an eye exam?
An annual eye exam involves more than just updating your glasses or contact prescription. A comprehensive eye exam can also detect eye health issues as well as general health problems. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected in early stages through an eye exam, and this can result in early treatment. Schedule your annual eye exam today.
What should I bring to my eye exam?
You should bring your vision insurance and medical insurance information to your eye exam. If you currently wear any prescription lenses, bring your eyeglasses, sunglasses, and contact lenses. You should also bring any and all questions you may have. Contact your optometrist if you have specific questions about any additional items you think you may need to bring to your eye exam.
