I was mislead about the contact exam…
I was mislead about the contact exam and pricing
I said I was interested and before I knew it the process had been done without explaining the cost which was more than I was willing to pay, not to mention the fact that I couldn't get the trial contacts in my eyes so I would have not gotten contact exam had I known that.
Very sneaky business practice.
I feel like I was conned!

Hello Shad, we’re sorry to hear that your experience with the contact lens exam and pricing did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when costs and processes aren’t fully explained beforehand. This isn’t the level of service we strive to provide. Thank you for bringing this to our attention—we’ve escalated your concerns for further review so we can address them. We really appreciate your feedback.
Honestly, don’t sell products that cause serious eye pain or injury.
Honestly, the staff is professional. However, the lab seems to be unstructured. The lab tech had brought me the wrong glasses. And, I had to wait more than 3 hours to get the online Dr to re assign proper contacts. Which ended up being horribly painful and the wrong power ( low vs high). Turns out thousands of people have reported severe burning, infections, or debris in the eye from mal manufactured of the Bausch & Lomb Ultra brand contacts. Why sell a product ct that causes severe eye pain, infections, and eye loss in some people?
Needless to say, had to go to the emergency room to get seen within 2 days of attempting to place the contacts into my eyes.
Found out about the poor product after the fact.

Kind and friendly
The staff was really friendly and made my first time buying glasses of any kind really straight forward. I even got them made the same day. Will definitely go again next time I want to get some.

While the staff at Stanton is friendly
While the staff at Stanton is friendly, the advertising is misleading. As a long-time customer, I expect higher costs, but I was surprised by hidden fees for adding tint to my second pair of glasses. Since the BOGO deal only applies to frames, customers should be explicitly told before their exam that there are extra charges for nearly everything. Even with $79 frames, customers should know they might be looking at a $400-$500 total, rather than being surprised at the register.

Horrible
Horrible! Spent almost $700 on 2 pairs of glasses. Was told it would be 7-10 days. Got one pair at 2 weeks and they had to take frames off the shelf that were not great and others tried on to put my lenses into. Not what I was told would happen. So basically I paid $700 for second hand glasses! I also have not received the second pair and was told it would be the same situation with those frames too! I will never return.

Taking a long time. Taking a long time have been with Stanton for years
I have been with Stanton for years. I've never had any major problems. This year I decided I wanted sunglasses with my prescription. I had 2 trips planned that prescription sunglasses would have been great. When I picked out the sunglasses I liked, they were very expensive. I did not complain about the price, I was excited to have them for my trip. They said they put a rush on them for me. Both trips have come and gone and I still don't have my sunglasses. It's very disappointing. I paid on 3-24-26. The expected date was 4-7-26. Today is 4-20-26. Still no info on when I will get them?
