Misleading information

I was not informed that I was not going to see an actual doctor. I was not told my glasses would not be ready that same day until after I paid for them now that I have them they're too tight on my face and I think that the reading prescription for the bifocals is a little too strong and one eye it doesn't work at all

Hello Erica. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must have been to encounter unexpected aspects of the exam process, delays with your glasses, and concerns about the fit and prescription of your new eyewear. Please note that same-day service can vary depending on your prescription, product selection and additional upgrades and that all of our prescriptions are reviewed and signed by a licensed doctor. 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.

Beware Angel

I went in for my appointment at the Rockford, IL store and I was treated terrible by the store manager Angel. I show up and first thing she tells me is that they don’t take insurance and would need to pay $79 upfront, I explain to her I have used Stanton optical before and I know that’s not true. I tell her I have VSP and they have accepted it before. She then tells me that they will take it but I will have to do all the work to submit my claim. I then pull up the website and read to her that’s not what the website says it says it’s out of network but you still take the benefit and help submit the claim on my behalf. Angel then starts yelling at me and telling me that I am an idiot and she doesn’t help people who don’t help themselves and canceled my appointment.

Amazing same day service!!!

We did a google search for same day glasses and found them. We looked at frames online and used the “virtual try on” feature which was awesome! When we got there it was a very clean facility, we were greeted right away by Victoria. She was super helpful and very friendly! We found the frames we tried on virtually, and another pair with their BOGO deal! She got everything figured out so fast and had them made within 30 minutes! We will definitely be back!

She was rude and I did not tell me all the
Financial parts of the exam. She knew my son had state insurance. Yet she waited until after the exam to tell me the high cost associated with my son visit. When asked why so high then that’s when she stated my insurance is not accepted there. I feel she should have said that from the start so I could make a dying I want to continue with the appointment. She trap me into a payment I never agreed too. It’s fraud and misleading!! I will never come back here

Needed new eye exam

Needed new eye exam. Paid for contacts n glasses. Then went forcre check n nobequipment to do contact exam, then eye exam says no astigmatism,
And 10 days for replacement glasses I paid for.
People were agitated n condescending at this place. Not happy.
At this point I would not recommend Stanton.
