I can't thank them enough and would absolutely recommend Gilbert Eye Care to anyone who needs outstanding service!

On December 18, I went to the store with my prescription and clearly asked for glasses for distance vision only. After some time, they called me to let me know that my glasses were ready. When I tried them on, my vision was blurry. The staff later realized that the employee who helped me had mistakenly ordered lenses with both reading and distance combinations, even though I had clearly requested distance only. They told me it was not a problem and that they would send the lenses back to be corrected. I then had to wait another 3-4 weeks. When I finally went back to pick them up again, my vision was still blurry. This was very frustrating because I had already waited a long time for the correction. At that point, I started to worry that maybe the eye doctor had made a mistake with my prescription. I took the glasses and scheduled an appointment with another eye specialist recommended by a friend. The new doctor confirmed that the original prescription was correct -- the problem was the lenses made by the store. They had only corrected one side and left the other lens with the same mistake. I paid the full amount upfront, which I now regret. After spending $500, I ended up with glasses that I cannot use and only kept the frame. I also lost a lot of time waiting for them to fix their mistakes, only to receive the wrong lenses again. This experience has been extremely disappointing and frustrating. I cannot recommend this place. I am sharing my story so other people are aware before choosing this store.

Unfortunately I had the worst customer service experience of my life here yesterday. As a brief…read morebackground, I've been wearing glasses for 27 years. My parents both wear glasses and we had previously been going to the optometrists and retail LensCrafters in MacArthur Center once a year every year for as long as I can remember and always have had a great experience. That store has now relocated and the closest to me is Lynnhaven Mall. I had previously walked into the retail side and a lovely woman named AJ helped me adjust my glasses that my toddler broke until I could replace them. I was looking forward to coming back to her to help me pick a style after my exam. I scheduled my appointment yesterday morning for that afternoon at 4pm. I arranged for my husband to get out of work early and watch our son to accommodate this appointment. I showed up at 3:55pm. At the front desk were 2 women one 20s/30s and one was older. The younger one greeted me and then proceeded to say and I quote "...yeahhhh we didn't have a phone number on file for you and your email didn't work so your appointment was canceled." The form did not require me to input a phone number or insurance. It even said on the confirmation email (of which I received THREE confirmations to the same email that "didn't work" for them) that I could fill out forms and provide insurance in person at the time of my appointment. They continued to tell me they could reschedule me for another day. I'm a very patient and understanding person, I don't enjoy confrontation. There was no apology for wasting my time. No effort to accommodate me. The lady beside her was her supervisor as I learned when asking to speak to someone else. She also met me with attitude, rolling her eyes and refusing to look at me, typing on her computer while I was desperately trying to seek resolution. Unprofessional, disrespectful and just downright rude. I wasn't yelling or cursing I was just upset at the situation and honestly, even a simple apology for the mistake would have gone so far. But not once did they even say sorry, in fact, blamed me saying I must've spelled my email wrong or there was a problem on my end. I received various spam emails and work emails to my same email after booking. Aside from this, I don't even understand why the appointment had to be canceled. I could've provided this info on the spot. My appointment was confirmed as BOOKED multiple times via email. I suggested perhaps there was an issue with their email host. Again met with blank stares. Disappointed is an understatement. Neither one of those women should be in a customer facing position. I'm disheartened to take my business elsewhere for my eye exams however AJ and the other gentleman working the retail side are absolute customer service rockstars and tried to help me afterwards.
