Made sure I was 100% satisfied!!
I had previously left an "undecided" review of Stanton Optical due to getting overcharged which was nobody's fault that works in the shop and I changed my rating because Brandon (manager possibly) called me within hours of my review and refunded the difference back to my account. It's really hard to find a business or human being on the planet that will make things right but they have definitely went out of their way to make sure I was 100% satisfied. Thank you so much to Brandon who helped me with this.

Hello Jamie. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be when the final cost is different than anticipated, especially when you're trying to stay within a budget. Our goal is to clearly explain pricing, insurance coverage, and all available lens options so patients can make informed decisions without feeling pressured. We're glad to hear our manager was able to assist in lowering the cost, but we regret that the overall experience left you feeling embarrassed. We've escalated this internally for us to improve our process and ensure a better service in the future. We appreciate your feedback.

Nice People
I picked up my glasses on 6/20. I told the lady helping me (she was very polite) that I couldn't really see using either pair. She said she understood and maybe my eyes were already tired (it was 930am). I realize she was just doing her job but felt like maybe someone else could have helped figure out why I couldn't see? People were all really nice but I never felt like I was talking to anyone beyond a sales person. I'm going to check back with them in a few days and see if the situation improves with my vision.

Hi Jeanette. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how concerning it is to leave with new glasses that don't seem to provide clear vision, and we appreciate that you brought it to our team's attention at pickup. While some prescriptions can require a brief adjustment period, we understand your concern and hope you'll return so our team can further evaluate your glasses and address any issues. Thank you for your feedback.

It was a pleasure from start to finish with the store in Wilmington NC especially after an epic fail at a store in Fayetteville. The staff was professional, helpful and so courteous. They even got my fiance in for an appointment for contacts and got her fitted and her contacts on order all while making my glasses. I even ordered new sunglasses as well. Thanks to everyone for all your help. You've definitely earned our business.
