Highly recommended
From the most polite customer service to receiving an eye exam within a few minutes, then being able to walk out with glasses made within 30 minutes in the same day!! What more is there really to say?!! I’m still amazed and so thankful for Breanna at Stanton Optical located in Rivergate South. She made things easy simple and even though I live in New York. I prefer to only get my glasses from her!!! Thank you soo much!!!

Beware of UPSELL
Associate was more worried about the up sell of glasses than meeting my needs .told me they were giving me a better deal than trying to use my $250.00 insurance allowance.

Hello Kobe. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the lack of proper fitting, cleanliness, and professionalism during your visit. We’ve escalated this situation for further review so we can address your concerns. We appreciate your feedback.
First time experience and amazing it was!
It’s my first time needing glasses ever and it came suddenly so I was kinda nervous and not sure what I was doing. I walked in and Kevin made me comfortable right away. He asked me some questions, took care of my test, and I loved the experience. After that Briana did the same. She was fun and knowledgeable about all the questions I had too. I ended up with 4 pairs of glasses and I’ll be back for sunglasses soon!

Hi Nikolas, we're really sorry to hear about your experience and any confusion regarding our promotion and insurance. Most of our special offers can't be combined with insurance or other discounts, but we truly appreciate your feedback. We hope to have the chance to serve you better in the future.
Very misleading and disappointing experience.
Went to Stanton Optical for their advertised deal (60% off, 2 for $79, free exam). After the exam, they told me it was only free if I purchased glasses — which wasn’t clearly explained. I felt pressured and ended up paying over $350 for non-name brand glasses. I don’t even wear them because they don’t feel right.
Very misleading and disappointing experience.
