    So I was in Athens, GA for my Fall Break from school and I needed new contacts BADLY. I knew that…read moremy prescription had expired quite some time ago, so I figured I would need one of those as well. Being the procrastinator that I am (I'm a college student. What can I say?) I took the risk of calling the morning I was leaving town to return to school. I was sure they would tell me that I was going to have to come back to Athens another time, but they didn't! I was so amazed. I went to Thomas Eye Center right away and I wasn't even through filling out the paperwork before they were leading me into the room to start the exam. The people there were so nice to me and didn't make me feel bad about calling at the last second. And they really knew what they were doing! I've been to a lot of optometrists in my day, and no one has ever been has comforting and easy to work with as these guys. Especially the doctor, Dr. Noriko. She was younger, maybe mid twenties, but was obviously very knowledgable and trustworthy. I honestly probably would have let her touch my eyeball if she needed to, I had that much faith in her. And she was calming. Being in any kind of doctor's office makes me a little uneasy, but her voice was really soothing and pleasant to listen to, and she put me right at ease. The doctors there were very efficient. I must have been in and out of there in 45 minutes. Or, at least, I would have been if my father hadn't needed to speak to the lady handling the insurance and money issues. He can be a little wearing when it comes to money, but she was very patient and kind with him, which I admire. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be going anywhere else for my optical necessities. I want to tell everyone I know in the Athens area to go to Thomas Eye Center on Baxter St., and don't forget to ask for Dr. Noriko!!

Seems more expensive than other similar services in the area Very expensive for sending replacement glasses if you need them mailed in the US---I was told overnight delivery to a US address would be $80-$100 , so we used US Postal Service overnight for $34 (and that included $200 insurance).

The Buford location is where bulk groceries meet competitive cart driving and free samples become a full contact sport. Every Saturday I chauffeur my 75 year old mother to what she calls "running errands" and what I now recognize as her weekly social hour. She insists on arriving at peak crowd density, the exact moment when parking spots become mythical creatures and shoppers circle like vultures waiting for someone to load a 50 pack of paper towels into their trunk. Mom treats the place like a scenic walking tour. We visit every aisle. Not most. Not the important ones. All of them. I have learned more about industrial mayonnaise, kayak pricing, and seasonal patio heaters than any human should. Meanwhile I treat the sample stations like a carefully planned tasting menu. The staff is generous, the portions are respectable, and with the right timing and a strategic lap route you can revisit your favorites without raising suspicion. I am not saying I built a loop system around the frozen dumplings, but I am also not denying it. Mom, however, has become something of a celebrity. For reasons unknown she attracts a steady stream of senior gentlemen piloting motorized carts who deliver pickup lines that have not been road tested since 1958. "Hey there, young lady." "Need a ride?" "I come here for the deals and now I know why." She responds with polite disinterest while I perform defensive maneuvers worthy of a Secret Service agent, gently redirecting traffic away from my mother and back toward the rotisserie chickens. This week's victory was finding a solid jump starter for my truck battery. Nothing says successful Costco run like leaving with an item you actually intended to buy, along with emotional exhaustion and a faint smell of sample pizza. This store would earn five stars, but inventory roulette keeps it at four. They do not always have the advertised items, and the restocking attention does not seem as tight as the Duluth or Athens locations. Nothing crushes the spirit quite like planning your bulk buy strategy only to find an empty pallet and a lonely price tag. Still, Costco Buford is a magical place, part warehouse, part buffet, part retirement age speed dating arena. I will be back next Saturday at peak hours, pushing the cart, circling the dumplings, and guarding Mom from the Romeo squadron.

She ended up being so nice & VERY patient. She was honest about how the frames fit my face & waited for a while until I FINALLY decided to purchase a 3rd pair- NAVY GUCCI & I LOOOOVE them. My only for REAL issue at the Buford Costco Vision Center is there are no chairs or benches for folks to sit. The wait can be 30++ depending on how busy they are. They need a small area for thise who need a chair. Leaning on carts is not fun! They redeemed themselves & I HOPE that other guy had a chat with the manager I told.

    5 Stars - A Masterclass in Customer Recovery, Thanks to Yaacov Wexler…read more My experience at LensCrafters Store #0873 (Atlanta, GA) began with uncertainty--but concluded as one of the most positive customer service turnarounds I've had in years, thanks entirely to Yaacov Wexler (ID: 509037). On April 16, 2025, I purchased three pairs of glasses. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by several missteps: a lack of guidance on titanium frame availability, incorrect sizing (I typically wear 52mm but was given 55mm), and no clear explanation of lens upgrade options. I left the store frustrated, second-guessing my choices. But then came Yaacov. During my follow-up visits on April 27 and May 9, he not only addressed every issue--I genuinely felt heard, valued, and respected as a customer. Yaacov facilitated a return with zero hassle, corrected the fit on my prescription sunglasses, and even added nose pads to improve comfort--all with a level of attentiveness and professionalism that went far beyond expectation. What stood out most was his calm, knowledgeable approach and sincere desire to make things right. He didn't just resolve a mistake--he redefined what great service looks like. In an age where customer care can feel rushed or impersonal, Yaacov reminded me that one dedicated associate can transform not only a sale--but a customer's entire impression of a brand. I hope his efforts are recognized--he absolutely earned it.

    Great service. Lost a screw in my eyeglasses and they replaced it the same day at no charge even…read morethough the glasses were purchased from an online source. Staff courteous and efficient. Many thanks!
