Edward assisted me in ordering the glasses and when my first pair was ready he was there to assist me. He and the young lady who assisted me during the exam are the reasons for the 5 star review.

Manager Erica and Edward
Store manager Erica is honest and straightforward without the pressure, so my wife and I will be back. Edward helped with my frames and provided outstanding customer service, along with his pleasant demeanor. He just wasn't simply focused on the sale which made the purchase easy for me, he just made it happen. Other staff were friendly as well.

Nice people but too expensive
They seemed nice enough but left with a lot of sticker shock. Went in for your advertised $79 eye exam but missed the fine print if you had issues that really made you need glasses you were going to pay more than that. I will probably just go to Walmart eye center next year. As glasses were also way more expensive.

Hello Mary. We're glad to hear our team was courteous during your visit; however, we're sorry that the pricing did not meet your expectations, and we regret any confusion regarding the advertised offer and any additional services or products that affected the final cost. Our 2 for $79 deal is one of our bestselling promotions, keep in mind that depending on your prescription, product selection and additional enhancements the package can vary. Please note that most of our special offers cannot be combined with insurance or other discounts. We've escalated this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed. We appreciate your feedback.

I have a very good experience with staff about choosing, pricing, q&a. Expected super-easy prepaid pick-up was much longer than expected, especially with bored and tired kids. Next time I will try to schedule pickup without them. I expected 15-20 minutes, it was almost an hour…

The glasses arrived earlier than expected, which was a nice surprise. However, I had to wait 20 min for the tech to come out and release the glasses. Although I understand systems and processes, I suggest that you communicate a possible wait time in the text and/or give the option to make an appointment.

Hello. We’re glad to hear that your glasses arrived earlier than expected and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We apologize for the wait you experienced when picking them up and understand how frustrating that can be, especially when you are expecting a quick visit. This falls short of the standard of service we strive to provide. We've escalated this internally for us to improve our process and ensure a better service in the future. We appreciate your feedback.

Don’t judge a book by its reviews :)
So starting out I was very worried because I spent a lot of time online looking at reviews and quite a bit of them were horrible. Not for this location specifically but in general. I went in with my questions making sure promotions were true and I wasn’t going to be upcharged for random things I didn’t want. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I got the promotion they had on the website without any extra stuff. Stanton optical is a great place!

Hello Mathie, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really glad to hear our team was friendly and helpful and that everything went smoothly for you. It’s especially great to know you were able to get the promotion you saw online with no unexpected charges—providing clear and honest service is very important to us. We truly appreciate your trust and support, and we’re happy we could give you a positive experience!
New glasses needed
To look around, they requested that we make an appointment and said they would not hold appointment if we show up late. When we arrived, we had to wait. Gentleman was ok and did his job but everywhere we've been before people are always more friendly. We recently relocated so this shop is new to us. The price was expensive but gave us a "discount". Not sure I would return.

We've escalated this internally for us to improve our process and ensure a better service in the future. We appreciate your feedback.
