Called to make an appointment and was hung up on immediately. I’ll take that as a sign of p poor service and call the next place on my list with this good money.

Love Ms Sylvia! She is always attentive to my needs and always helps me find glasses that help shape my face especially with significant weight loss over the years. Since 2016, always grateful to keep coming back and seeing her face.

— Two Months of Excuses and Zero Follow-Through
If I could give zero stars, I would. I have called this LensCrafters location eight times over the last two months and have been told every single time that someone would call me back. Not once has anyone returned a call.
I’ve been waiting on my contact lenses for over two months, and the excuses have been unbelievable:
• Call #1: “They’re on back order.”
• Call #2: “Your order was cancelled, but don’t worry—we reordered it.”
• Call #3: Suddenly the contacts were “the wrong size.” I’ve never even heard of that.
• Call #4: They claimed my contacts were finally in. I went to pick them up—they were not my contacts and not even my prescription.
• Call #5: Now they “haven’t come in yet,” and they needed to “check with the doctor.” No call back.
• Call #6: I spoke to the sales side. They looked into it and said the contacts I was prescribed don’t even exist. But someone would call me the next day to resolve it.
Of course—no call ever came.
This entire experience has been unprofessional, disorganized, and completely unacceptable. Two months of runaround, misinformation, and zero accountability. I still don’t have my contacts, and no one at this store seems capable of handling something as basic as fulfilling an order or returning a phone call.
Save yourself the frustration—go anywhere else. This location has made it clear that customer service is not a priority.
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.
