Coming back over the years and recommending Payne to family—that kind of trust is earned over time. Thank you for continuing to choose us.
They're great
They're great, I design my own styles and they are more durable than I thought. I love the selection and the ability to have colored lenses if I want in different styles. They're also super affordable. America's Best wanted to charge me $755 for two pairs that weren't great. I've bought 6 different styles for under $300. Save your time and get something with Payne, it's a great deal for comfort and style.

Being able to build out multiple styles that actually hold up over time is what makes the experience feel worth it. Thanks for calling this out and for giving Payne a shot across so many pairs.

Great ordering system except for pop up interruptions, a lot of them that I didn’t initiate from the AI helper. Great price, hope they are good glasses. Lots of choices for different styles, work, sports, etc progressives, I have never been offered before. Also a lot of quality choices on lenses and progressives without breaking the bank on the upper tier choices.
Update. Received my new glasses. I have to say quite spectacular. I’m very pleased with the results and really can’t believe I have found a place to buy such high quality glasses with all the upgrade options at such a good price. Thanks Payne Glasses.

A smoother ordering experience matters, and we appreciate the honest feedback on the AI pop-ups. Having access to different progressive options and lens upgrades without things getting out of hand cost-wise is exactly what we aim for. Thanks for sharing this.
Wow!
Wow! That's what I need to start with is WOW! Selection is amazing, customer service is top-shelf, and when I received my glasses - I could see immediately after putting them on (btw - I have progressive lenses). Which has not been my experience with other on-line glasses providers. Thank you again Payne! I will be ordering a backup pair and Rx sunglasses!

I had trouble checking out and texted you, I received a prompt reply and it was fixed. I really like these frames, this is my second pair. I've received numerous compliments on them. I've had my first pair for 2 years and no problems. The price was exceptional only $20.00(frames only). Compared to my usual $200.+ fraes from my optometrist. I couldn't be happier!! 🤗🤗

Tracking not updating and getting stuck within USPS is frustrating—we see that.
When a carrier delay like this happens, stepping in quickly to get it back on track is what matters. We’ll take care of this with you.
