They were awesome. They gave me a paper with the right prescription for my eyes and I got my glasses in a week and a half. Plus they let make partial payments. This place deserves a round of applause... See more

Employees were very friendly & knowledgeable. The virtual vision exam was different but not bad at all. I never did get a chance to talk to the actual doctor. My only complaint is the waiting around.... See more

Missing Glasses
I purchased 2 pairs of glasses at your store and had to wait 2 weeks for them to be made. I went back to the location to pick them up, and only one pair could not be found. The glasses were delivered to the location but were misplaced within the store. After 30 minutes of searching, they were still not located, and I decided that to leave and wait to receive a call once they were found, or I would have to order another pair. 30 minutes later, my glasses were found, and I made another 10-mile trip to the store.
Everyone was nice and helpful but was disappointed in the situation.

Hello Tracy. We’re glad to hear that our team was nice and helpful; however, we’re sorry for the inconvenience when one of your glasses could not be located at pickup and regret the delay and additional trip to the store. This is not the level of organization or service we strive to provide. We've escalated this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed. We appreciate your feedback.

Promotion is a misleading
Promotion is a misleading. Frames and lenses are pricey . Frames material are worth the same as sold in dollar stores. The optometrist needs better customer service etiquette.

The lens & fitting are not working
When, I went to pick up my glasses. I did tell the the young lady that the glasses were not sitting straight on my nose area.. she tried to fixed the frame and the adjustment did not work.. i am not able to see the screen on my car while I am reading Google maps when driving. I have to take the glasses and manually tilt them to be able to see while I am driving.
That is very unsafe for me. I have partial paralysis my face , right side. I should not be doing these steps while driving. The style of glasses are defected therefore the progressive lens do not sit the same right to left. I called left a message and no one has called me back..
My vision has been impacted enough , therefore the right lens is very important to have.
Not a happy experience.
Connie in San Diego.

Order was stated to be ready
Order was stated to be ready, when I went to pick up it was not and I had to wait ~45 Minutes for one of the pairs out of the two I placed. I never received the second pair and they stated that they did not have a record of the second pair. Never shopping here again.

The lens makers are awful
Couldn't get the glasses Rx right at all. Deceptive pricing. There's a small sign as to how the frames are priced, I never saw, it no one told me. I did see it on my second time in the shop. People in the shop are fine

Saved my vacation
When the ocean stole my glasses it was a disaster!! Then I found Stanton.
Totally amazing selection, prices and speed! And Sofia was so helpful in working with my home town prescription, then choosing best styles for my face.
So glad i found Stanton!

Very quick and easy!
I came here for glasses because my husband used to go here for glasses and contacts. I had my exam done and it was very quick. They had a wide selection of frames and made sure my lenses had everything I needed. The pricing was very good and my glasses were ready for pickup later that evening. I was shocked that they were done so quick. I will definitely be coming back for later exams and glasses.
