- JPJohn punchOct 25, 20251.0i want new glasses for reading internet laptop, but reading all the nightmare problems at this place i am truly scared to death to go in... i don't need the run-a-round BS and it looks LIKE the BBB should shut down this place... ASAP...
- ASAustin SadikOct 13, 20251.0I went in for an eye exam because I needed new glasses. My last exam was about four years ago at Eyeglass World in El Cajon. Since it was Sunday and most places were closed, Google suggested Stanton Optical because they were open. When I called to schedule my appointment, no one mentioned that the “doctor” would be virtual on a TV screen. During the exam, the “doctor” spoke to me through a TV, and I could clearly hear other people (possibly children) in the background on his end, it was extremely unprofessional. Still, I figured I’d finish the exam, pick out some glasses, and get it over with. Unfortunately, I didn’t like any of the frames they had, so I decided to just pay for the exam and take my results elsewhere. When I went to pay, I was told the total was $102, even though I was quoted $79.99 over the phone. The front desk said it was because they did an “additional test” I never requested. The whole experience was terrible. unprofessional exam, surprise charges, and zero confidence in the results. I told them I didn’t even want the results and left. Honestly, I feel like I just donated $80 to Stanton Optical. GO ELSEWHERE.
- XLXiomara LaraOct 1, 20251.0Had booked two appointments. One for myself and the other for my 10yo daughter. Came in on time & even early for the 2nd appointment. Totally forgot the whole virtual thing. We needed assistance and the eye doctor ended up waiting about 10 minutes for anyone to come help us in the exam room. Mid exam, they had "technical difficulties" & the exam was cut short. We ended up walking out at 6:55pm (close at 7pm) with 1 half ass exam & the other complete missed due to their poor time management. If you wanted to kick us out of the store due to closing, just say that. They had the audacity to ask us to come back tomorrow. Sorry, but some of us work and can't just come in on a whim. That's what appointments are for.
- BTBogart ThegodSep 24, 20255.0They are amazing. Had issues at first, but quickly taken care of and more. Set me up with everything I needed and I'm super grateful. Thank you Stanton! Extra shout out to the eye doctor on 9/24/25 she was absolutely incredible!
- RBroxy bohrerSep 17, 20251.0This was the worst experience I have ever had, not only at a doctor's office, but at a retail store. I had gone in for an eye exam and contact fitting, which I assumed would be easy. The optometrist was not present; it was more of a Zoom (which is fine, just would have liked to have been informed beforehand). The assistant didn't even look at my eyes during the contact fitting; she just told me to put them in and let her know if they felt okay. The whole reason I went in was to switch from bi-monthly to dailies, then she only pulled bi-monthlies. Throughout the experience, they focused on upselling items rather than addressing actual concerns. At checkout, they informed me that they did not, in fact, take my insurance, despite asking and showing my card to the gentleman when checking in, and he had assured me it was fine. I paid via credit card and left. Once home, I realized there were additional charges on my invoice that I hadn't received. I called back and was yelled at. The gentleman on the phone was literally screaming, and then he hung up on me. I called back, and a woman answered and was very apologetic and nice, she helped me get in contact with their team to get the refund. I have since gone to a new optometrist and got a wildly different prescription than Stanton. I wish that I had read reviews from "newest" and seen that this business has gone downhill in recent months.
