It was a great experience. They were really helpful with getting my glasses and after finding out that my insurance could get me a second pair on them.
Was in a pinch and this was the only optical provider I could find with walk-in service. They are understaffed, and I wasted nearly 2 hours waiting just to pay for frames... It was maybe 3 or 4... See more
The customer service was great, always well informed. thank you very much I will always continue to go to stanton.

Dear Stanton Optical Team,
Dear Stanton Optical Team,
I wanted to share feedback regarding my recent experience at your College Station location.
Before purchasing, I visited the store twice on separate occasions specifically to confirm whether there would be any additional charges beyond the advertised $79 promotion for the eye exam and two pairs of glasses. I was clearly told both times that if I selected frames with blue labels, there would be no extra fees.
However, after completing the eye exam and selecting my frames based on that information, I was unexpectedly informed at checkout that there would be additional charges. This was very disappointing because I made my decisions based on the information provided by your staff beforehand.
The issue was not simply the extra cost itself, but the inconsistency and misleading communication. As a customer, I expected transparent pricing and accurate information before proceeding with the exam and purchase.
I hope this feedback helps improve communication with future customers and prevents similar experiences.
Thank you.

I can't see out of the pair I received. Order #142211968. I thought my eyes would adjust to the new prescription; they have not. I am very frustrated.

Try finding a licensed optician if possible.
Was in a pinch and this was the only optical provider I could find with walk-in service.
They are understaffed, and I wasted nearly 2 hours waiting just to pay for frames... It was maybe 3 or 4 people in que... Finally got my glasses a week later and they are literally falling apart.
Was promised a replacement and it's been 3 weeks!? I should have gone to Walmart. Or literally anywhere else.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service I have received regarding my recent orders.
I initially ordered a pair of sunglasses and was notified on two separate occasions that they were ready for pickup. However, when I arrived at the store both times, I was informed that the sunglasses were cracked and not usable. I was not notified of these issues in advance, which resulted in unnecessary trips and inconvenience.
It has now been over a month, and I still have not received the sunglasses I ordered. Additionally, the original pair of glasses I purchased does not seem to be correct, which has further added to my frustration with this experience.
I was also told that a manager would be contacting me to address these issues, but I have not received any follow-up communication.
Given the repeated issues, lack of communication, and the extended delay without resolution, I am requesting a full refund for all services and products I have received.
I would appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and a timely resolution. Please let me know the next steps to process this refund.
The store visited was in College Station, Texas.
