    I had the easiest experience, Katie and Jamie helped me through my first time getting contacts. They made it super easy for me. They also went out of their way to help me with my baby during the appointment ( he was getting a little fussy) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ESPECIALLY TO THE MOMMIES OUT THERE !! 10/10

    deleted my original review. i would give it zero stars if i could. i had to get a replacement glasses because the expensive pair of glasses i got here broke for no reason. i was told to pay for the replacement fee of $36 (that price was only because the glasses broke within 1 year of me getting my glasses here). i went to go pick them up and get the lenses switched out and the people there were taking their sweet time trying to put them on and i had already waited over three minutes by this point. i wanted a refund and the girl there refused and said it would just be one-two minutes extra. and even waiting over 3 minutes again i still didn’t get my replacement glasses or refund that i wanted AGAIN. i ended up just walking out the store annoyed. i regret getting my glasses done here. the staff ARE NOT that great. They are extremely selective towards who they help in the store. they pride themselves in getting reviews here but won’t stand for how bad their glasses are and terrible services there is here. it’s disappointing here and overpriced. they didn’t accept my insurance for glasses and wouldn’t explain to me the price i’d pay for out of pocket. i ended up having to pay around over $500 dollars for two pairs of glasses. mind you - one of them broke and they couldn’t even put the lenses in the replacement frame. it’s a waste of time getting glasses here. it’s best to find glasses online or go somewhere else. getting replacements glasses here and being REFUSED A REFUND when i CLEARLY stated i didn’t want to wait is disappointing. it’s a waste of money to get your glasses here. :/

    UPDATE 01/09- I went in to this morning and the manger Chris helped me. He was patient, explained throughly what I need and even give me my trail contacts. He provided very good customer service. Thank you Chris! Absolutely horrible experience. I called yesterday to get my co-pay amount for my contacts the man I spoke to from the store said it would be a $10 co-pay I say great let’s schedule an appointment for tomorrow. Today I go in for my appointment and I expect to pay $10 only for the contact exam, WRONG the nice lady I was with said I have to get a glasses exam as well if I’m doing the contact exam which is dumb because I don’t want the glasses. So then I said okay how much, it’s $95 total. $85 for contact lenses fitting and $10 for the glasses exam. I arrive at 12:43 and don’t leave until 2:20 with a sorry outcome. I tell the lady I need to leave because I am in a rush and she checks me out before doing so I ask about my trail of contacts since helloooooo I did the exam and she said they didn’t have my contacts that I needed so I said okay can you order a trail pair and she said she can’t order a trail unless I purchase my order. Okay if that’s the case why wasn’t something said ahead of time? Like “ hey there isn’t a guarantee you will get a trail today and it’s with a purchase only”. I have no complaints of the nice lady Alice that helped me other then the time all around for my set appointment and how I didn’t receive what I needed.

    I had an excellent experience at Stanton Optical on SW Military Dr. From start to finish, the entire staff was extremely helpful, professional, and attentive. They made sure everything was explained clearly and provided great customer service. I truly appreciate the team’s support and would definitely recommend this location.

    When I made the appointment over the phone, I was told they accepted my insurance (Eyemed) then when I show up I was told something different . They told me my insurance is out of network, but can give me a “great discount” and the exam will only be $25. I was even given a paper with the “fixed rates” a patient will pay. When I finished my exam I was browsing the frames, but did not like any of them. I let them know I just wanted to get the prescription and be charged for the exam and it jumped to $79 for the exam. They told me if I got glasses it would be $79 out the door with no additional fees or $79 without glasses and just the prescription. If I had known that from the beginning, I would’ve went elsewhere. I felt trapped and obligated to get glasses, otherwise I would be paying $79 for just an eye exam, which is insane to me. Update: Kathia was very helpful in explaining everything and apologized for the confusion. I am pleased with the outcome of the glasses, I was simply frustrated with all the confusion. I think the call center and in store location, needs to get on the same page, so customers are not confused and being told different prices. Thank you
