I live in El Paso Texas and ordered my contacts from the store in El Paso initially; however, my contacts were sent to college station Texas. I have no idea why when my whole profile shows I live here in El Paso. Hopefully I don't have to wait another month to get my contacts which have run out.

Hello Christine, we’re very sorry to hear about this issue and understand how frustrating it must be, especially when you’re relying on your contacts and have already run out. We tried contacting you but were unable to reach you. If you still have any concerns regarding your order status, please contact our support center at 877-518-5788 so we can assist you further.
Good service, worth the wait.
They were able to give me a prescription and new frames same day but it did take around an hour to get everything done, and that is with another person also getting an exam. If there is more than one other person it may take longer.

Hello! We are glad we could help you get your prescription and new frames the same day. We appreciate your patience with the timing and your understanding that wait times can vary depending on how busy it is. Your support means a lot to us.
Staff was slow to do everything
Staff was slow to do everything. It took 30 mins or longer to be seen then I mentioned ive been there for a hr and they still made me wait. The store wasn’t even busy. The one lady that was actually going to do my check-in finally saw me. She didn’t even have anyone their then they had me see a online doctor. Rude staff. They ordered 6 pack of contacts for me sent me an email for the tracking then told me that I couldnt have it. It was for them.

I was given an upsell to the progressive lenses, which I really didn't want, don't need, and they don't work.
But that is my fault for being so gullible.
I will be going back tomorrow and hopefully be able to return them.

Good result, friendly folks, but very limited selection for good deal
The people were friendly and I can see very well with my new glasses. It was frustrating that the website advertised $135 for two pairs of glasses with progressive lenses and then with some upsell choices I was looking at over $400 for one pair. I ended up picking from the the very cheapest frames to get back down to $200 for two pair, but I was disappointed by the frame selection. I might have gone somewhere else but I would have been charged $118 for just the eye exam. The eye doctor is remote so you don't get your eyes dilated and probably shouldn't do this every time.

Dear Stanton Optical Team,
Dear Stanton Optical Team,
I wanted to share feedback regarding my recent experience at your College Station location.
Before purchasing, I visited the store twice on separate occasions specifically to confirm whether there would be any additional charges beyond the advertised $79 promotion for the eye exam and two pairs of glasses. I was clearly told both times that if I selected frames with blue labels, there would be no extra fees.
However, after completing the eye exam and selecting my frames based on that information, I was unexpectedly informed at checkout that there would be additional charges. This was very disappointing because I made my decisions based on the information provided by your staff beforehand.
The issue was not simply the extra cost itself, but the inconsistency and misleading communication. As a customer, I expected transparent pricing and accurate information before proceeding with the exam and purchase.
I hope this feedback helps improve communication with future customers and prevents similar experiences.
Thank you.

I can't see out of the pair I received
I can't see out of the pair I received. Order #142211968. I thought my eyes would adjust to the new prescription; they have not. I am very frustrated.

Not many good frames

Try finding a licensed optician if possible.
Was in a pinch and this was the only optical provider I could find with walk-in service.
They are understaffed, and I wasted nearly 2 hours waiting just to pay for frames... It was maybe 3 or 4 people in que... Finally got my glasses a week later and they are literally falling apart.
Was promised a replacement and it's been 3 weeks!? I should have gone to Walmart. Or literally anywhere else.
