I came away feeling confident in the exam I received. It was very thorough, they have a good system. It would have been nice for someone to explain the process and that they use remote/Zoom examiners. The associates were very pleasant and willing to assist. My contacts were available in a timely manner. I signed up for their $20. program for the year as a result.

I spent hours getting an exam just to be told later that there's a problem with getting the pin number that the DMV needs to renew my driver's license. The end product is I still had to go to the DMV and wait in line there to get my driver's license renewed since there was no ETA of when your company was able to get my pin number. Additionally, I spent $300 for glasses that suck. I should have just went to the DMV. I would have had a much better time than visiting your company.

Hello John. We’re sorry to hear about the frustration you encountered with the DMV PIN process and the delay in receiving it. We’re also disappointed to hear that you’re not satisfied with your glasses. We’ve escalated this situation for further review so we can address your concerns. We appreciate your feedback.
Never again will I go back.
No on-site doctors. Because of this, I was there from 11:10 to 2:30. The virtual doctors didn't understand what was on my file, so they dropped me and went to the next patient. I was dropped by 4 doctors. Never again, will I go back.
Then if you have VSP insurance, the patient has to go online and then email information to Stanton before they are seen. Any other eye place, all I had to do is give them my name and ss# and they take care of everything.

Would have been five stars except they are chinchy on the classes cases. They did not give me a case for my sun glasses. They said the glasses would not fit in their standard case and that's all they have. I asked if they had a case I could buy and they said no. A little ridiculous; no case on a total purchase over $750.

The video exam was strange for me and my husband. It was very fast and impersonal. They also got my husband's prescription very wrong.

I like the back of the house employees
I like the back of the house employees. They was very polite from the time I got there til I left that area. The Doctor was AWESOME.. My only issue is with 1 individual in the front area. She gives off this rudeness. I wasn't a fan of hers. But that's why I gave 3 stars.Her attitude that day irritated me. Overall the rest of the employees was GREAT

Poor experience, poor service
When you go and pick up your glasses and put them on. The person who gave them to you says ok you're good to go. Not checking them. Not making sure they were a good fit, or if any adjustments needed to be made. Don't get me started on the cheap plastic cases. One would think after spending over $900 on two pairs of glasses, the least that would be given was a decent eyeglass case. This was my first and last visit to Stanton Optical.
