Hands Down..Best location!
The staff at the store was warm, welcoming and made my daughter with social anxiety feel at ease. She handed her a handful of jolly ranchers at the end and my daughter left with the biggest smile. We got her glasses a week later and she loves them! We will be back again for the rest of the family.

When coming in the people in the front area were awesome and very friendly and helpful. The eye exam was very troubling. The individual on the monitor was very rushed and was flashing through the letters very quickly. If I hesitated I was told to choose without thought. As I feared the perception was wrong due to the rushing. Now I’m having to jump through hoops along with more of my time being spent to get this corrected. The examiner on the monitor was not friendly and was very rushing. It showed in the results.

Beware of advertisement to get you in
The people and service are fine, no issue with any of that part. The “sale” however is not even close to as advertised. They market 2 pairs and exam for $79. They are not including the cost of the prescription, or that the $79 pairs are very limited. Mine cost almost $300 for one pair.

Hello Erek. We’re pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our team and the service you received. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration regarding the promotion and final cost of your glasses. Our 2 for $79 deal is one of our bestselling promotions, keep in mind that depending on your prescription, product selection and additional add-ons the package can vary. We typically offer a broader selection as part of our value promotions. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

The staff and experience was great
The staff and experience was great, however my only complaint is that I didn’t get an eyeglass case. I paid $560.00 for a single pair of eye glasses, I think Stanton should have provided a case.

Staff went above and beyond.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Price was reasonable and I felt that staff went beyond my expectations with by offering single vision glasses to hold me over while awaiting the 2 weeks for progressive lenses. That stood out as exceptional customer service.
