Marsha is a blast. Understood my issues and found prefect solutions. I even had a MTV moment in a pair of sunglasses. Come for the professionalism but stay for the laugh and nice people. Adam is great too.

Broke my old glasses in half today, so came to Stanton Optical on Forest Drive. Adam was very helpful! I had some issues with my insurance and he helped me through the whole process. Their prices are reasonable and their service is fast and friendly! Highly recommended!

I have been a customer of Stanton for several years while living in Greenville, Sc and since I've recently relocated to Columbia as of last year and was happy I found a Stanton location in my area and I set up an appointment to get some new glassess. If I could give zero stars for the manager of this site Adam I would. He displayed the epitome of this site just gave him the position because they needed to fill it.. I came into this location on 12/6/25 to get an eye exam and some new frames... I wasn't aware until I sat down at the table they didn't accept the eyemed insurance and my total charges would be $994.00. I told the young lady that assisted me that I wanted to cancel the order but she found some frames that were a little bit less bringing my total down to 850.00..I moved forward with the purchase but over the weekend I decided that the amount was still too high and would rather find a company that accepted insurance.I spoke with the store manager of the forest drive location in Columbia SC and he told me that I couldn't cancel my order due to the glasses being in production. I stated to him based on what I read online that I needed to call ASAP once I determined I didn't want to move forward with the process I reached out to stanton the very next business day which after 12/6/25 would've been today. Adam was extremely rude and unprofessional and I will no longer be doing business with ANY Stanton optical EVER again..
Tip: Do better by your loyal customers

These people are amazeballs! I had an eyeglass/contact lenses emergency and essentially came in blind — and they hooked me up right out the door! Not only did I get to leave wearing contacts, I got a 6 month supply and two pairs of glasses all under $500!! As a woman, I didn’t realize how much people were price gouging me until I came in! I spend $500 on ONE pair of glasses and zero contacts! Ahh!! I’m so happy!! And you get a Starbucks right as you leave ✨🤸✨🙆♀️✨

Another great experience at Stanton but I switched locations and wondered if it would be the same. Forest Dr is new and I was very impressed. Got fitted for glasses and Adam was most helpful and knowledgeable. Prices were great and I will definitely revisit this store next year
