Hello Robert, we're glad to hear that you found the service great. We're really sorry that your experience didn't fully meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about communication during the sales process and the delay in receiving your glasses. While we always aim to complete orders as quickly as possible, sometimes prescription requirements can lead to unexpected delays. This isn’t the level of service we strive for, and we’ll be escalating your feedback internally to ensure it’s thoroughly reviewed. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
This place is bait and switch.They…
This place is bait and switch.They offer "same day" glasses, but neither myself nor anyone else who was there were getting their glasses same day. Also, they have these "two for one sales." The total cost was initially almost $800 with insurance. I asked for my prescription and then I wanted to just order glasses from Zenni. They went round and round eventually I got one pair of glasses for about $150. Meanwhile, I went home with my prescription and ordered a pair of glasses from Zenni. They were about $125. They came in about 5 days. It took almost 10 days to get my glasses from these people. What a mess. Next time, I will try to get a prescription from an independent optometrist and then just go the Zenni route. I'm giving this place oltwo stars instead of one because the ladies who helped me really did try to bring down the costs for me, but overall I felt there were bait and switch tactics going on because no one was getting same day glasses as far as I could tell, and I went there because I had lost my only pair and desperately needed a new pair.

Hello Patty, we’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We understand your concerns about same-day service, pricing, promotions, and the time it took to receive your glasses. Depending on your prescription, product selection, and any additional upgrades, both package pricing and same-day service availability may vary. Please note that most of our special offers can’t be combined with insurance or other discounts. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We appreciate your feedback and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.

First time customer glasses had a crack in the lens corner on the first day; I did not say anything because I thought it was more plastic wrap (or whatever was all around the edges of the lenses) but it was a crack. Brand new cracked glasses. Plus I am not sure the exam was accurate. Its ok, I am getting use to the service in south texas.

My prescription was wrong
My prescription was wrong. The doctor kept telling me to read what I can when I said I couldn't see anything. Luckily the gentleman who was helping me was very friendly and understanding or the review would've been worse. If my prescription isn't right the second time then I'm going to be extremely upset.

We are glad to hear that the team member assisting you was friendly and understanding, and we appreciate you recognizing his efforts. However, we regret that your overall experience did not meet expectations. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service and processes.
