Made appointment for same day exam and glasses on Jan 25, 2025. I needed an updated Rx that would help with night driving. I was driving every night after work to see my husband in the hospital. The first night I used the glasses it was awful. I couldn't even read the road signs. I ended up using my old glasses to get there and drive home. I called the next day Jan 28, 2025 to complain and asked for a refund at that time. I tried over the week to see if there was improvement but it was a waste of time. I returned the glasses on Feb 1, 2025, and was told my refund had been approved upon return of the glasses. I have called customer service 3 times without satisfaction. I have called the store 4 times getting the runaround that it is being processed. Then the next time I call, I'm told someone will call me back. I just want my refund! 2 months later, still nothing, meanwhile my husband has passed away. I need my money back!!Business Response

I went to Stanton Optical around August 5th 2024, i did the free eye exam and got 2 frames. i spent $342.93 thinking id spend $79 or close to $150.. i wasnt spoken to about pricing but whatever. my glasses took more than 2 weeks to arrive, i try them on and theyre the wrong prescription. i made a follow up appointment to redo them in november, another free eye exam and they sent my glasses back. 2 more weeks and i get them, only one pair is at the store. that pair was my correct prescription (the previous eye doctor didnt do it right) but the other pair was no where to found. they said theyd text me. ***** days go by AGAIN, i go to the store to pick up my glasses and to my surprise.. WRONG AGAIN! its about to be december at this point and i ask them to please find my correct prescription because i paid over $300 for two glasses. fast forward, i wait some more. i was very clear on what was wrong and when i go again in January, HE ORDERED THE WRONG GLASSES AND PRESCRIPTION. i was very patient but i was so upset i took the glasses and left. he didnt seem to care. i keep contacting customer service and they are NO help, always redirecting me to the store. i want a REFUND. im not longer patient nor do i want to be. this is the stanton optical in **********************************************. the worst customer service from who seems to be the manager, he is rude and sassy and only cares about money. ive read reviews about him on their website after countless visits and its all true. i just wanted glasses because i need them to drive at night but this has been the worst experience ever. now im stuck with 2 pairs of glasses that are useless and $300+ less that i couldve taken elsewhere and had a better experience. i am truly disappointed and feel my time and money has been wasted. the last pair of glasses that were wrong after being remade for the millionth time i received in March 2025.Business Response

I scheduled an appointment on 3/23/2025 at 2 PM at the ************************************************ location. I asked to repair my glasses when first signed in and was told it was a 20 fee and it would take up to 48 hours. Immediate said there is a better deal at *******, and Ill go there instead. I've been doing my eye exams at ****** Optical for over 5 years and never have I once been told I have to have a slight astigmatism corrected. This particular visit, I did I waited almost 10 minutes for the technician to start to perform the eye exam without any explanation. Once the exam was complete, the technician said I had an astigmatism, and the contacts would be $225 instead of the $149. I promptly to the technician I wasn't interested in correcting the astigmatism, I only wanted the prescription for multifocal contact lenses and eye glasses. I indicated, that I would not pay the extra $75 for something I did not want or need. She said the doctor would decide that, or I could leave now! She tried to get me to agree to the astigmatism. I asked to speak to the optometrist, and was told "it doesn't work like that, the optometrist is not present and can not be reached. I can set up an appointment for April 2, 2025, I was then asked to leave. It was at that point I told them that they were full of SH*T. The tech was EXTREMLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD BE TERMINATED IMEDIATELY!Business Response

The glasses I purchased from My Eyelab, now Stanton Optical, which were held together with tape and glue, and strapped to my head with rubberbands because they would no longer stay on my head any other way, gave up the ghost in October 2024. The coatings they put on the lenses despite my protest, started coming off in such that the lenses were becoming progressively cloudier, and I can no longer see through them even if by some miracle I could get the frames to stay on my head. All told, I paid over $950 to Stanton Optical for these glasses, which is the most I've ever paid for a pair of glasses in my entire life, and they are the worst glasses I've ever owned in the 30+ years I've needed to wear *******'s worth mentioning that the aforementioned glasses were the second of an identical pair I originally purchased in August of 2022 that fell apart in a similar fashion. Stanton Optical was gracious enough to replace the first pair for another $150 out of pocket, but sadly, they too fell apart as rapidly as the originals. I'm filing this complaint because I forked over nearly a thousand dollars to Stanton Optical for glasses that were so poor in quality that in both cases, they broke inside of a few weeks of owning them. I was able to hobble along with super glue and tape for a period of time with each pair, but I shouldn't have needed to do that. And, despite my insistence that they not put coatings on the lenses, they did so anyway, which also contributed to their quick degradation.I've worn glasses since I was in grade school, and my eye sight is bad enough that I absolutely cannot navigate the world without them, so I cannot stress enough that I take very good care of my eyewear and this is not a case of me failing to properly care for them. I want Stanton Optical to make this right by refunding my money spent on their poor product and service. Pictures of glasses in current state are attached.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I would like to be able to see that this is fulfilled. Unfortunately I've not been able to schedule a time that is mutually convenient to resolve this matter in person, as it seems the case will be. The representative of the business has offered to make it up to me with product and services, of which I am skeptical but willing to hear them out. I simply need more time to actually schedule and arrange for my own transportation to go.
I'm not currently certain that I will be able to accept products and services, since I do not have faith and confidence in the same of them. I would really just like a refund, and the person who reached out said they were unable to provide that, but I think that was an issue of being enabled to do so in the first place, which he was not. In the interest of mutual compromise, I'm exploring the options provided.
It's possible that in the not distant future we can have this resolved. I will hear out their representative in person first. I expect that we can revisit this in two weeks.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter and kindest regards.

I met with their representative in their store who was very kind, courteous and as accommodating as his supervisors allowed. It's clear that he was tasked with resolving this complaint without providing refund, and that he was given wide authority within a narrow scope to do so. I didn't really need another pair of glasses having just gotten a new scrip in January; I did need contacts or a refund, however, neither of those were options for me here. The complaints I have about the process stand, in that, they perform tele-medicine in the store, they make you sign contracts that are non-negotiable, and the exam is not performed by a doctor, it's performed by a "doctor's technician". Presuming that the technician is able to accurately provide results for eye examination then that is okay, however this remains to be seen. I lament that it seems to be the manner in which the company does business as a whole that is the problem, yet it does seem to be an ******* effort to make it right in this case.
I don't wish to reject their resolution at this time, but I also don't find it fully resolved. I understand that time is of the essence in most cases, and so I look forward to the delivery of the glasses which have been promised, and I maintain caution that they will be better or more durable in any way than the last pair, but at least their customer service has improved greatlyCustomer Answer

Complaint: 23096586
I am rejecting this response because:The glasses offered as replacement suffer from the same issues that the original glasses they provided did suffer: incorrect prescription and poor fitment.
While great care was taken when I first came in to have another eye test done and to select new frames, no one took time upon delivery to ensure they were fitted on my face correctly nor to ensure that the scrip was correct in the lenses. The scrip is not correct--I cannot see well even to type this message--and the fitment is poor, but I gather they are not trained in store on how to fit frames because if they were, as an optician does, they would always do it.
Because their replacement does not serve me--as I type this I must put my glasses on the tip of my nose tilt my head back as if I were taking a pill in order to attempt to read my monitor--I cannot accept their resolution at this time.Sincerely,
***** *******Business Response

Its important to us that every patient leaves with eyewear that meets their needs and provides clear, comfortable visionand its clear that we fell short in your case.

I had an appointment to receive a new eye exam. The gentleman, *****, that was doing the exam told me that there was something major wrong with my eyes and I needed to go see an actual eye doctor. He sent me to *******************. Told me to come back with the script and I could get the glasses I wanted. Come to find out, there is nothing seriously wrong with my eyes, my right eye is lazy. The optometrist told me I could only use readers if I wanted, that bifocals/progressives were not necessary, but he supplied a script for both and told me to decide. I took it into Stanton. I told ***** to just order the readers. Once they came in, I could not see at all out of them, he ordered me only the long distance script. That was his mistake. The ladies reordered the glasses and had them made to be only readers. But when I tried them on, my eyes were crossing, and I could not see. They had them remade again to be progressives. I picked them up 2 weeks ago. When I tried them on, they felt strange, but better. I was told it takes a while to get used to a new prescription. I asked about their return policy, and was told THAT DAY that I had 30 days to return them. Satisfaction guaranteed. After trying my hardest to make them work, I decided they were not going to work out, not only because the script, but because the lenses rested on my face and my makeup was constantly smudging them. I came in to return them today (within the window) and the girl I gave them to said I could only work with *********, and she would have her call me. I received a message from ********* stating that it's been 30 days since the glasses. First came in, and I'm outside of the window, and that the script was from ******************* and that it's not their problem. They would not be issuing a refund. I would've kept them as readers but they do not fit my face correctly. I told them that when I returned them. They ordered the wrong script to begin with, but that's when my 30 day timer began...Business Response

I am confident this pair that comes in will be great.
Sincerely,

I provided Stanton Optical with my vision insurance, which covers my exam for $10. However, at the end of my exam, they tried to charge me $69. I pointed out that my insurance should only require me to pay $10. After speaking with the manager, they adjusted the charge to the correct amount. It seems they may be overcharging individuals who assume their exam costs $69 even with insurance, which is a serious mistake and an unethical practice by the company.This happen at the ******, Ca location on March 14, 2025Business Response

Went in for a eye exam I order 2 pair of glasses. When I received them they were too strong. Did another eye exam totally different reading. Had to reorder glasses this is a month later. Only 1 pair was ordered not two. No one can tell me why so I canceled the order. I have been waiting for my refund for over a week. When I call all I get is a answering service I can't talk to anyone in accounting. When I ask about my refund I am told they will let corporate know . I hear nothing from them and still no refund which was suppose to go back on my debit card. They said it will take 3 to 5 business days. Well it has been past the 5 business days and no one seems to be able to tell me why. I am just told they will pass this along.Business Response
