Stanton Optical

It truly was a positive experience for me. Ale was great and spent quite a bit of time with me. She even helped me pick out frames. No other eye Dr has done that. They told me it would be 2 weeks to get the glasses but it was only 6 days. I love the glasses. I'd wanted the 2 for 79 deal but she explained why that wouldn't work. All in all I spent 150 which was a lot cheaper than I'd ever paid before. Usually it's been 350. So I'm quite satisfied.

PLEASE DO NOT GO! Saving a few dollars and an hour of your life isn't worth it. I promise. I will never go again. First of all I was not told that you don't even see the prescribing optometrist. You are seeing a hybrid doctor, who also oversees another 20 other clinics. That gives you an idea on how much he likely cares about your eyes. Second, they tried to sell me on a number of things and then when they looked up my VSP it was $55 for both contacts and eyeglass prescription and exam. Unsure why we didnt just run insurance first instead of all their "deals" with "free exams." And now to the real problem. The optometrist prescribed the wrong kind of contacts and NO ONE can get ahold of him to fix the prescription or update my order so that I can get the contacts I need. So my order has been cancelled, searching for him via the ordering site cant find him, and he hasn't responded to multiple requests by the ordering company. I called the local store that I was seen at and was told "he is busy and will get to it when he has time." I ordered these contacts a WEEK AGO. I dont think this HYBRID model is used to serve the customer. It was clearly made to save the company money and stretch one optometrist thin with patients and prescriptions.

I went to Stanton Optical and had a pleasant experience myself. However, when a disabled client I see needed specialty glasses and accommodations, all the ladies working went above and beyond and were so wonderful when Avera and Sanford and every other eyeglass place I called were not. Offering suggestions and calling another office to find the right lenses and being so kind and understanding. I cannot thank them enough. I was afraid I was going to have to drive to Minneapolis to get this kind of assistance.

Went here yesterday to get an eye exam and my first pair of glasses. I was helped by Geanie (sorry if I spelled that wrong) and she was an absolute rockstar. She made me feel comfortable the entire time, explained the process as we went through the exam, and answered any questions I had with great detail. We picked out a pair of frames that fit my face well (I've never personally been good with this) Throughout the customization process of the lenses, she explained clearly what each option was and if it would be beneficial in my personal case which I really appreciate. We got everything all ordered up I was out the door. The entire process from entering to leaving took about 30 minutes, which I think is great. Geanie's bubbly and fun personality made the entire process quite fun actually. 100% will be returning in the future

Avoid if you need an eye exam. Exams there are done virtually/hybrid. Doctors are out of state. Not a bad place if you're just looking for frames, and the person working there was courteous and explained everything properly. But Stanton's business model is terrible. Not a good way to compete with Luxottica.

I came in to possibly get help finding new frames for my prescription sunglasses, but like I was told, its a 1 in 100 chance with sunglasses like mine. My only problem was how it sat on my face. Id tried everything and gave up. Cue Lola! She took a good while adjusting my glasses, and even replaced the hard plastic nose pieces with silicone and now they sit perfect, theyre 100x comfier and look a LOT better on my face. I no longer dislike wearing them! Thanks a ton, Lola, you seriously rock! Ill be coming back when I need new glasses or an exam.

Love this place. I went in with no insurance and they were able to schedule me for an exam within a few days. Only paid $300 for 24 pairs of contacts and got $150 visa credit after mailing in my receipt. Would totally go again!

My husband called to set up an appointment for the same day. We get there and they tell us they dont do eye exams but my husband told them on the phone thats what he needed. It even says in a big window cling that they do walk in eye exams false
