I had a very unpleasant experience at the LensCrafters location at UTC Shopping Mall.
My appointment was scheduled for 10:00 AM, which is also when the store opens. I arrived at 10:05 AM—only five minutes late. I waited about 10 minutes and then asked the receptionist how long the wait would be. The reception girl Jamie said “You are 5 minutes late, they are “setting things up” for you.” with mad face and disrespectful tone, like I done something wrong. So I waited another 10 minutes.
When I asked again because I had other commitments, the receptionist (Jamie) was extremely rude and finally told me that since I was five minutes late, they had given my appointment to a walk-in who arrived 10 minutes early (The store opened at 10:00am, which I arrived 10:05 am). This information should have been communicated to me immediately instead of making me wait and giving misleading responses.
Being five minutes late does not justify giving away a scheduled appointment without informing the patient, and the attitude I received was extremely rude and unprofessional. I don’t even know how this girl can be hire at the customer service. If I had been told the truth upfront, I would not have wasted my time waiting. She ruined the whole customer experience and I hope the manager can train her better at how to service the customer.
Overall, very disappointing customer service and poor communication.

Appointment went well and on time. Relatively quick. The medical side was 5 stars; however, the retail side was poor. I felt pressured during the checkout for add-ons I did not ask for, warranty etc. I then got an email saying my glasses were delayed. I gave it 2 weeks and heard nothing. I called and checked and they said it will be here shortly and we will call you. I waited longer and they never called. I called back and they said Oh yeah they are here, you can come pick them up. Disappointing customer service.
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.
