    Made an appointment, the girls up front were fine, however the young Man giving the pre exam didn't have very good communication skills and the room was filthy. it was quite obvious that nothing had been wiped down, and all machines require face, chin or eye contact. Also the glasses to try on were filthy, and finally the online Eye exam physician was unavailable! If I could rate the two lady's up front, Onna and Heidi they would get a five

    Arrived 15 min before appt like asked. Waited 45 min then asked how much longer . The manager was rude. The eye tech was very nice and helpful. Waiting again to get fitted for glasses. Another 30 min later still here. Service here is horrendous.

    The majority of frames were not as affordable as some places but the ones that were within my price range were more unique than what other places offered, which is what I was looking for, and sometimes having a smaller selection is easier. Anita was very efficient and helpful though it was quite busy right after Xmas — appreciate you!

Frequently Asked Questions About LensCrafters

How do I know if my child needs glasses?

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.
