Too expensive
Although the staff was friendly and helpful, it would have been extremely helpful to have prices for services other than frames. I wound up spending way too much for services than I wanted to.
Alice and Alexis are fabulous!

The 1st time I went to pick up my glasses, they couldn't find one pair. Even though I received an email saying all my glasses were there. This was Friday, 4-24. I appreciate the effort to find my glasses. He told me if I can go back. I went back Saturday morning, 4-25, and Tyree was able to find them. They were in a different box than what was inputted into the system.

My experience was great when I got my eyes exam but when it was time to get my glasses that fitted my prescription . Without insurance The price was really expensive and out of our pocket range I was not able to get two pairs so I had to narrow it down to one pair and still out of range but I was able to pay for only the lenses and use my old frame for one glasses that was able to fit my budget.
Thank you for helping me figure out what I can afford.

Lyed about exam
Lyed about exam, lyed about time to get glasses, when I finally got them late they took a long time to find them because they don't know about the alphabet. Waste of time. My time they wasted was worth more than the glasses by far
