Stanton Optical

This is the best place you could ever go to! If you're shopping for glasses or contacts on a budget without sacrificing quality Stanton Optical is the place to go! I will definitely be coming back especially with Anita! She was really helpful and she helped me throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions. She's amazing!!!

Thank you to Anita at Stanton Optical in Oceanside for her five star service! When we discovered a problem with the prescription I had for new glasses, she handled the problem and made sure I was happy with my glasses without additional charges. She was pleasant and accommodating. I love my new glasses!

Big thanks to Alondra for making glasses shopping quick and easy! She helped me find a great pair and explained everything clearly. I'll be back to see her for my next pair!

I had a wonderful experience at the Stanton Optical Oceanside -the prescription for my glasses had to be changed several times to accommodate the astigmatism. I worked with both Anita and Michael, who were very professional knowledgeable and helpful and made sure that the final product would help my vision. I highly recommend this site for any prescription for Vision that you might need to be filled

I was taken good care of by Alondra she helped me pick out frames since I am new to the glasses world and Anita helped me understand everything including the glass material and the coatings they were really patient and understanding with my questions and concerns I recommend this place for your quick and easy exams no pressure

Unfortunately my previous optometrist retired a couple of years ago. He took care of my eyes for nearly a decade. Going to Stanton was my 2nd attempt at finding a replacement. I needed a contact lens exam. Suffice it to say, I'm still looking for another optometrist next time need an exam. If you want personal, attentive service don't go here. The exam is done without the physical presence of an optometrist which I didn't realize until I was taken to the room for the exam. Patients should be made aware of this immediately upon check in. I feel as if this fact was purposely hidden. The wait time was horrendous. They were out of a sample for my prescription contact lens. Plus they tried to force me to buy 6 months of contact lens without trying the prescription sample first. I had to tell the guy, "No!" twice before he accepted my answer as final. Not the service I'm used to. Ask questions about the exam upon arrival so you know what you're getting into. Pro side, the guy who checked me in and did my pretest for glaucoma was friendly which made this bitter pill a little easier to swallow.

Came in because my glasses broke and I needed a new pair quickly. BEWARE OF HIDDEN FEES AND FALSE ADVERTISING. I went in for the buy one get one + free eye exam deal. I got my exam, picked out my frames which should have put the total around $150, and the lady at the desk tells me I owe $450. I was completely stunned and asked how that could be, she told me I needed antiglare and polycarbonate lenses as part of my prescription. LENS UPGRADES LIKE THAT ARE NOT PART OF A PRESCRIPTION AND ARE JUST UPCHARGES. Any other glasses place on earth presents these to you as optional upgrades, not "prescription mandated requirements" that are added to the price by default. Also, how the hell is a polycarbonate lens going to help me see better? The only thing that affects is durability. It was purely a lie and a scummy sales tactic to rip off people who don't know any better. Thankfully, I got her to take those upgrades off but it was still an extra $110 for the lenses. They do not mention that the lenses arent included anywhere on the website or in the store, infact the ad makes it sound like they're specifically included. I would have just walked out but I had already taken the eye exam and would have had to pay for that if I backed out. What should have cost $150 ended up being $250. And to top it all off, I have to wait 2 entire weeks without glasses. The website advertised glasses ready in 30 minutes but that seems to be only for people with mild prescriptions, anyone that actually needs glasses to see is gonna have to wait. Overall terrible experience. Lots of false advertising and being up charged and lied to was the cherry ontop. And I left the store as blind as I came in. Getting glasses should be straightforward, not like trying to wheel and deal a used car salesman. Only good thing I can say is the gentleman who helped me with the exam was very nice, give that guy a raise.

Stephanie was very patient and helpful throughout the examination. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and walked me through the whole process to make sure I got the best price for my glasses. Phenomenal associates and clean environment. There's a lot of lenses to choose from and overall I had a wonderful experience.
