Stanton optical or Stanton automotive?
I just went in for reading glasses and saw their 2 for 80 deal. I felt like I was at a car dealership instead of a optical store. The up selling, the time wasting, offering financing ,cheaper alternatives and same day service. Once I said I will pay for the exam and get my glasses elsewhere, then all of a sudden the 2 for 80 deal was offered to me, but of course my frames and lenses were out of stock and I would have to wait 2 weeks. I go to pick up my glasses and they are way too strong because they added the recommended .75 addition to each eye. I told them it was too much and feels too intense. I was told to give them a couple weeks and I would get used to it. I already got a different pair of reading glasses elsewhere, minus the .75 addition, and they are absolutely perfect. Feels like my vision is corrected and not looking into a telescope. Never coming back here again

We’d love the opportunity to assist you further and ensure you’re seeing clearly. We’ve escalated this situation for further review so we can address your concerns. We appreciate your feedback.
Won’t go back
It should be broadly advertised that you do not actually met with a doctor.
The office staff is incredibly kind, but then they put you in a room with a video camera and an impatient REMOTE technician to do the exam.

The fact that I was able to get 2 pairs of glasses for 135.00 is pretty cool. Jerimiah was a tremendous help and didn't feel pressured and will be referring to my friends for sure

Medium quality and poor management of orders
The prices are too high but the quality is not as good. Also, they normally make errors on the order causing the customers hassles from time to time. In our last order they lost lenses for my wife order and had to reorder them making us to wait for over 8 weeks to finally get her glasses.
