Haven’t gotten an eye exam since 2020 and honestly this was such a good place to restart! Highly recommend
Compared to other optical places, this was the most affordable and the prices make sense! I got 2 pairs under $550 and saved $400 when I could’ve easily spent 1k at Walmart or other places!
I recently moved and found Stanton Optical by sheer luck, after visiting and leaving several other places with disappointment. Cesar was friendly, professional, and offered knowledgeable service. He w... See more

They made my lenses wrong
They made my lenses wrong. They want to fix one at a time so I have to drive 20 miles each way twice to get both pair of glasses assuming they do it right this time.
So you don’t take responsibility for your mistakes. How am I supposed to live with that?

Everyone was very nice
Everyone was very nice. I was in and out pretty quick. However, I felt like I was kind of “pushed” into the eye exam. The selection of frames wasn’t that great. The fact that the optician was not in house was absolutely mind boggling to me. Not sure I’ll go back.

Not Happy with the delay or the RX
I FINALLY got my glasses and the prescription doesn't seem to be correct. I am in Nebraska and I went to the store in Gainesville, FL while I was on vacation. Took 2 1/2 weeks to get my first pair and I am waiting on them to ship my 2nd pair today. $856 later I still can't use my glasses every day. I am back to my Walmart readers.

Last minute appointment with great results
I did this appointment SUPER last minute and even had to push the appointment back a few minutes because my previous appointment ran late. Once I got there the process was explained really well and it went very quickly. The dr was telehealth but he did an amazing job getting my vision really clear. The best part of all. I needed to have my order fairly quickly, the sales person was very honest and said 7 to 10 business days. Well I got a call and they are ready for pick up JUST IN TIME for me!!! I now have perscription sunglasses for my CRUISE! So over the moon with everything. Thank you guys!

Good people work there
The young lady who was there today 4/03 understood that my computer glasses were not set for the right distance and changed the prescription while I was there so that it was perfect. She really knows what she is doing. GREAT service.
