The exam was okay could have spent more time with the optician.
The exam was okay. However, when I went to pick up the 2 pair of glasses, the clerk was not focused on me. The clerk while assisting me was talking to whoever asked a question. One pair of glasses was tight. When the clerk went to fix them, the clerk was moving my glasses in the machine without looking while having an eye to eye conversation with a customer that just walked in. Now the glasses are concave and unwearable. Horrible experience to say the least.

Don’t bring insurance.
Staff pulled the wrong insurance and would not make corrections. They did not tell us until after the eye exam (if you would even call it that) Ended up having to pay for the whole thing when insurance would have covered all but $10.00. Not a good experience. Do not recommend this place, definitely not with insurance.

Hello Kayla! We’re thrilled you had an amazing experience and look forward to seeing you again!
Thank you!
I must say that Brooklyn at the Lexington office and Dr. Waldrop at the Harbison office have earned you this 5-star rating. There were some slip-ups as a result of my initial virtual visit in December, but Brooklyn and Dr. Waldrop went the extra mile to make everything right. I will certainly continue to do business with Stanton Optical as a result of how these professionals solved the problems and treated me.

Attorney General of S.C. needs to review their policies
The $79.00 exam and two pairs of glasses... I did upgrade but I only bought one pair, supposedly I got the frames for half off. By the time I left the store my bill was over $300.00!
First they called and said my glasses were in. I go all the way over there on a Saturday and they said they were received but couldn't find them. She found the frames and showed them to me. Pink frame. They call me the next day and said they were in. Back I went. I picked them up, of course they were busy so I took them and left. Should have checked them. They were pink on the sides but the frames were metal. Like a gold. I hate metal frames. Like really do not like them. The lady I spoke with kept arguing with me.
