They came through when I needed some help with my visual needs. I was able to get my glasses within a couple days and the manager was phenomenal. I was able to use a loaner pair until my glasses arrived. I recommend them highly.

Orders are completed very fast
Great customer service, quick turn around time. They have a deal advertised for way less than your appt + frames + lenses actually come out to. So they lose a star for that. Otherwise I would recommend

I will not be returning
No doctor in office, or even on a video call to supervise the process made me feel less confident about the prescription results.
I came in for the 2 pairs for $79 but add ons were pushed on me as if it wasn't a choice due to my prescription so i ended up going over budget by $40. My concerns about going over budget were answered with excuses for why the add ons were "necessary". In the end, I felt coerced into paying the extra.
The organization of the store made it hard to pick out the frames within the promo guidelines. A lot of the tags were missing on the frames and they claimed a pair that I picked had a green tag when it was clearly blue, so i wasn't able to get my first choices of frames.
The time estimate on the website is 30 minutes but i ended up being there for 2 hours dealing with all of these issues. Overall, I felt they cared more about making a sale than taking care of my needs and concerns.

Service was fine but I was given an eye test without a doctor in the room(kinda weird). That would have been fine but when it’s all said and done I paid name brand prices for what ended up being a pretty cheap pair of frames. I’ve had them for a month and I’m already scared they’re going to break. All in all I needed new glasses and I have them but would not return.
