Hello Alma, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you had great service, timely pickup notifications, professional support, and excellent pricing for your two pairs of glasses. We truly appreciate your recommendation and support!
Not as advertised
If you are going to say 2 for 79 with free eye exam don't add non optional things in to raise the price. I took eye exam and picked two pairs of glasses that should have qualified then was told $160. I was told that was because of the exam which is advertised as free. After much back and forth she said she'd discount the eye exam so it was $124. That was still charging me for eye exam. 124 is a good deal. If that's what it's going to be then just say that don't try to scam people to get them in the door.

Hello Melissa! Thank you so much for your kind words. We are thrilled to hear you had an awesome customer service experience. Your support truly means a lot to us.
Great store
I love Stanton Optical! They had amazing customer service and amazing glasses to choose from! The only reason I gave a 4 star is because I wish they can bypass the "Puff" machine to still get their prescription if a customer declines the test. Some people like myself have bad PTSD and couldn't withstand the trauma. I kept my old prescription and got new glasses without a new prescription. I have been to many stores who have bypassed the test if customer declined and this location didnt but overall great store.

Hello Lillie! We’re glad you enjoyed our customer service and frame selection. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the exam process, especially regarding the puff test. We understand that certain procedures can be uncomfortable, and your perspective is important. We’re glad you were still able to find glasses that worked for you. Thank you for your feedback.

This was a wonderful staff that works here. They were very helpful and I was contacted in a very fair time by them. They also helped me to make sure they fit correctly before I left and said if I needed anything else to stop by and they would help me. Highly suggest the Two Notch staff to all. Great service.

Staff was wonderful. Service not so much
Staff was wonderful! Ordered both glasses and sunglasses. Both were to be delivered by May 29 2026. Only sunglasses were in. Went to get them and there is absolutely no tint in them. So now they have to be remade and I’m still waiting now again for another 2 weeks. And who knows when my glasses will be in. Very disappointed in the service
