Waited over an hour past appointment time.
Virtual doctor told me I'd be better off seeing an in-person doctor.
Very expensive prescription still needs adjustment.
My DMV form did not get filled out timely and my license expired before I could get my form.

Janelle was a HUGE help and made all the difference. She helped me try different frames to see which one fit best, and also helped make the best pick with the lenses.
They make the lenses in house too, so my glasses were ready the next day

It was a bit confusing for the new equipment but I would recommend it for the customer service and the exam itself. It was more helpful than I expected with the way they coached me through it.

Bait and switch
I Went in for the advertised sale with a free eye exam. Unfortunately, I was told (and 2 others in the lobby) that my lens didn’t qualify for the sale. I picked out 2 pairs and the very loud speaking SALESPERSON embarrassed me by loudly stating that my lens wouldn’t fit in the blue dot frames. She said that the pair that I had chosen came up to over $900 BEFORE DISCOUNTS! I felt bamboozled and sick to my stomach to hear the sales pitch. I didn’t expect my first adulting experience to be like that. Wouldn’t return if they were giving away glasses.

Hello Victoria. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience, the embarrassment you felt during your visit and any confusion regarding our promotions. Our 2 for $79 deal is one of our bestselling promotions, keep in mind that depending on your prescription, product selection and additional add-ons the package can vary. This is not the level of communication or professionalism we aim to provide. We'll be escalating this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed.
I must have missed the fine print.
Well to be honest I felt a little defensive. I had heard a few disappointing experiences from a few friends over the past few years and was hesitant to visit the store. But I went anyway. It started off poorly. We went in for an ad that specifically promoted 2 pairs for $ 79.00 including an exam. When we arrived we were greeted promptly at the door and pointed to the area we were to go to receive the eye exam. We were greeted promptly, paperwork was explained & we were informed that the $79. advertisement we were coming in for wasn't what we would be getting. Now that sent alarm bells ringing! We had heard in reviews that the ad was more of a bait and switch. What we thought would be an eye exam and 2 pair of glasses for $79 was now $157. The reason given was; "the $79 ad price was for reading glasses" . My bad. I must not have read some supper small fine print on that ad. I didn't like the feeling of being trapped but I sat down and filled the forms out.
Within 5 min it was done. Within 20 the exam was done and we waited for a consultation with a Dr/Specialist that would be done via video consultation It was rushed, clinical, and in my case, a bit freighting.
We were asked to look for frames. Frames from the blue tag group. The selection offered was not good. The frames felt like they were made of cheap material. And finding out that the lens to be made to be put into the frame were a plastic material. It was an over all disappointment. My friend received his glasses approx an hour later. Mine would take approx 4 days.
Overall experience was up & down. On a review scale it gets a 45% of 100%.
Maybe others will have a great visit and will leave feeling like the money they paid was a good value.
