Inaccurate staff and lazy service
For the 3rd or 4th time they had my sun glasses prescription wrong. I was told they would mail me the correct ones but I never received them. I called AGAIN today and no one helped and never called me back. I just called a few minutes ago and a gentleman was finally helpful. I will NEVER recommend you to anyone. Horrible service!

Employees were rude
Employees were rude. They were giving me prices on the exam without even asking if I had vision insurance. They sold me lenses without explaining the options in lenses. I was texted twice that my glasses were ready and upon showing up they weren’t.

I liked that there was such a wide variety of frame selections.

Made it right
While my experience didn’t start perfectly, the way this company resolved the issue completely turned it around. Their team was attentive, respectful, and committed to making things right. It’s clear they care about their customers, and that goes a long way. I appreciate the effort and would gladly recommend them.

The McDonalds of eye care
The McDonalds of eye care. I didn’t even see the doctor. The underpaid tech did the exam and the doctor “signed off” on it. Gave me bad information over the phone TWICE. Had to reschedule the first time. So expensive. Took FOREVER. It was like a puppy mill. Completely understaffed

I don't like the fact that there's not a optometrist to actually talk to. Not one that's behind a screen. Other than that my glasses are good.

The staff make the experience so much better
Loli and Ashley were very helpful and both very sweet. They made this process super fun and easy. The next day, I took my daughter in and we met Maria and another young lady. Both of them were wonderful. You're definitely hiring the right people for the job.
