- KKKaden1 day ago1.0They have no licensed optometrist on-site. Due to this your exam will be conducted by a virtual optometrist, which sounds fine until you get the bill. The staff will look at you appalled when you have a negative reaction to the price of frames and an exam. $600 for a virtual exam and some tests I’ve never even had before and 2 simple stainless steel and titanium frames. My appointment was scheduled for 1 PM, I was not greeted at the door, or ever by staff. I just stood in line where I saw one other person, and eventually I was checked in. My name wasn’t called for pre appointment screening until around 3 PM, and I got my horrible price around 4. Never during this process was I notified of the price difference or difference in services I was promised.
- KKKristina K3 days ago1.0I've been going to Stanton for quite a few years and the past 2 times I've been my prescription was off. I was stuck with $400 worth of glasses I can't wear and now I have contacts that I can hardly see out of. The price was higher than what they said before the exam also. They said there was a promotion but they don't have promotions. They lower the price of the exam and only push expensive products. I won't be going back. Contacts and glasses are too expensive to always get a wrong prescription.
- SMShannon Moore5 days ago5.0had an amazing experience at Stanton Optical on Harbison Blvd! From the moment I walked in, the service was welcoming and professional. Johnni and Allie truly made the visit exceptional. They were both patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure I was comfortable and confident in my choices. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to find customer service like this—friendly, attentive, and efficient. I highly recommend this location and especially want to thank Johnni and Allie for such outstanding service!
- HCHarold Chacon6 days ago1.0Terrible service, the manager was incredibly rude, completely lacking in basic manners. I do not recommend this place; run away with your money! , He doesn't want to work and he doesn't even know what job opportunities are available.
- MMMarcia Marcia MarciaDec 21, 20251.0I’ll never go back. I went to this location back in January 2025. As soon as I went to pick up the glasses, I knew they weren’t right. I told the lady they weren’t right. I’ve been wearing glasses for 25+ years. But she told me I just needed to get used to them. I wore them for 10 minutes and had an instant headache. Again this has never been an issue before. Stanton reached out for an after service survey. I told them the issue and never heard from them again. I’ve been wearing scratched and old glasses all year so that I can get some new ones in 2026 when my insurance will allow it. I can’t stress how much I’ve hated this experience.
