Associates were rude
Associates were rude. My glasses, that cost nearly $500, are incorrect vision. I am unable to see with them. Waste of my good money.

Advertising says same day glasses
Advertising says same day glasses. That’s why I went in.
Exam was fine, after I paid I was told 2 weeks for glasses.
Returned in 2 weeks. Right eye/ lens was great, left eye was blurry. I couldn’t read store signs or road signs.
I was told to wear them a week and my brain would get used to them. That seemed crazy.
I tried to wear them but got headaches.
Returned yesterday, repeat exam gave a different prescription. Waiting 2 more weeks for glasses.

They were very helpful with me on making me comfortable and with what prescription I’ll need and what glasses fit for me.
They were very helpful with me, on finding what glasses and what prescription was best for me, they discussed different options I could do for payment incase I could pay full price, they helped me be able to be comfortable and the eye exam its self was very quick and comfortable. All the staff was incredibly kind and helpful.
