I did a simple walk- in and did my exam, and I was greeted with a positive attitude and just had a wonderful time. Picked out what I wanted and didn't take long to get my new glasses. They're wonderful and I highly recommend.

What I disliked about Stanton Optical…
What I disliked about Stanton Optical is that you do a virtual eye exam, some employees are not as customer friendly and my eye glasses are not adjusted for my eyes but with all that said, I did speak with a Stephanie on 5 May 2026 and she told me I could come in and re-examine the glasses. Then will see if there may be a difference, then I’ll send another review if I am aloud too!

Hello Teresa. We apologize that the eye exam did not meet your expectations, the level of service you received, and the lack of proper adjustment to your glasses. Please know that all of our prescriptions are reviewed and signed by a licensed doctor. We do appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make things right and are pleased Stephanie was able to help. We look forward to your next visit and to providing you with a better experience. We'll be escalating this internally to ensure its thoroughly reviewed.

To many things to write. Manager tried to help but his hands were tied. Dr was incompetent for my vision and very condescending. Your type of vision testing is ridiculous. I paid for contacts and vision testing that did not assist in my vision. I will not be using Stanton again and will let anyone who listens know they are not capable of addressing any vision that is considered different

I had an appointment booked but the process was very long and I’m not sure if it’s because they have the optometrist virtual but I’m going to try another place once it’s time for me to

The staff was great and they had a good selection of frames to choose from! The lab messed up my order and they had to be remade. I still don't have them back.

Hello Christy, thank you so much for your kind words about our staff and frame selection. We're truly sorry for the delay with your order and any inconvenience this caused. Your feedback is very important to us and helps us improve our services. We hope to have the chance to provide you with a better experience in the future.
No better customer service anywhere else.
The first two attempts at an appointment backfired one on myself and second with their system crashing. The day their system crashed I stayed in hopes they would come back up in time to get somewhere in my exam. I ended up having to reschedule, however Victor thanked me for my patience and friendly attitude. He then proceeded to bless me the next day saving me 700 dollars. I can’t express my gratitude but can proudly say I won’t ever be going anywhere else for my glasses. Not only did they have a very catching selection but very friendly and costumer focused environment.
Thank you Victor you will certainly see me again.

Very professional and efficient employees. One employee stayed over her shift to make sure customers were taken care of. I wasn’t sure about the virtual visit but ended up loving it, quick and easy! While I was looking at glasses I overheard a customer being very rude and disrespectful to the employee helping her and she handled the situation very professionally and did not loose her integrity even with all the insults. I will definitely recommend Stanton Optical to everyone. 10/10!
