They were swamped
They were swamped. So we had to wait a while, even with an appointment. That's why it's four stars instead of 5. The staff was friendly, helpful, and gave us a discount because we had to wait. The glasses look good and the prices are fair. I would go back.

This was the craziest experience I’ve…
This was the craziest experience I’ve ever had walking into an eye doctor.
It was my first time there so when I walked in and seen no one besides a customer walking around I walked towards a big desk which I would think was where you would be welcomed and check in. After just standing there for a few minutes a man came out and asked what I was doing. (Which he looked like he had just come off a week long bender) I told him I had an appointment. He told me I could go to the other desk in an unlit area and someone would be right with me. After a few more minutes someone finally came out and acknowledged me. This woman was so hyped! We make it through the check in process, she tells me I can look around for glasses she just needed to finish up with someone else.
She was fidgety, talking fast, moving fast, and would not make eye contact.
As I looked around 2 more employees appeared out of no where but just kept their heads down. I mentioned out loud how this is the strangest experience I’ve ever had. Once I make it into the room for the eye exam I’m welcomed by a computer and a man on a screen. Now my mind is really blown. The most impersonal experience I’ve ever had.
When leaving the room I looked on the computer screen and seen all the customers first and last names and ages just sitting there for the world to see. I ended up paying for the exam and leaving with a copy of the prescription. It was the most awkward experience I have ever had going into an establishment. Now I feel uncomfortable knowing that they have any of my information.

Unprompted review

Hello, we’re very sorry to hear that your visit left you feeling uncomfortable. Our goal is always to provide a welcoming, professional, and respectful environment for every patient. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll be escalating this internally to ensure it's thoroughly reviewed. We truly appreciate your feedback.
The communication with the provider was…
The communication with the provider was not easy, I tried to tell her multiple times there was something on the lens that was preventing me from being able to see clearly, and she didn't understand and kept trying to continue on. I finally poked my head into the hole and had to call somebody in to look through the glass and see that there was something wrong. They then had to move me to a completely different room and restart the exam from the beginning. Even though I had an appointment, I ended up being there for almost 2 hours just for the vision exam.

Crystal was amazing
Crystal was amazing and so very helpful! The selection was vast and appreciate that. My only suggestion would be to not have doubles and triples of the same style frame because it gets confusing when you start trying them on ! You pick up a pair to try and then find another to try and then realize they are the same! And the pricing was great compared to so many other places. I have my new glasses now and I love them!
