I had to call 911 for the women to leave me alone. This was after a few minutes of harassment and being assaulted.
Mary Jane S.

ATTENTION FASHION VALLEY MALL shop owners, workers, and shoppers. I was assaulted IN THE STORE. The security did not like the way I asked them where they were at. There was yelling/harassment before the assault happened, so I expected security to come secure the situation and help me and the worker. All the security said was that, " ok well I was at another part of the store attending to other customers/ situations" I said "there was a screaming match before th assault took place so where were you?" He just gave me that response basically that he was busy. Then he took the coworker aside and was telling him things like itdoesn't look good and that he didn't like how I responded to him when asked questions/confronted about the situation. Uh. I was assaulted??? I don't like how security wasn't securing the mall and the customers inside. (I feel the security should be there to secure. Not to discipline, pass judgement, nor dictate who can or cannot be there based off of a bias) I'd ask for the security company name and Ppo #s to confirm the company and make an official complaint; but I won't be returning based off of my own experience They asked me not to come back to the store after: I WAS ASSAULTED BY THEIR CUSTOMER, in their optical store. I was informed there are no cameras so likely there will be nothing done. I feel discriminated against 100% and I have left a review for the mall and for the optical office about this incident. I WAS ASSAULTED, HARASSED, AND THEN ASKED NOT TO VISIT THE STORE AGAIN. Through this situation myself and the coworker was made to be at fault, even though an obviously unstable woman AND HER FRIENDS HARASSED and ASSAULTED ME. I would not recommend anyone visiting FASHION VALLEY or getting glasses as it it a DANGEROUS situation to be in an enclosed space with people you don't know, no cameras, Unsupervised by much security.

Chaotic... That's the one word I would use to describe this place. Of course, I will provide details to explain... I stopped by today, 12/27/2018 to purchase new glasses for my daughter. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Desiree who proceeded to tell us about the promos for customers without insurance (I'm not sure why she assumed this would appy to me, but it doesn't). I let her know we had insurance and inquired about pricing. She then told me she had to clock in and ran over to the register... And didn't come back, engaged in a full conversation with two other employees regarding scheduling and availability. I proceeded to walk over to the register as she had seemingly forgotten about us. At that point she ask Marlene to assist my daughter and I. Marlene, New Associate in training was great! She maintained a positive, attitude despite the number of customers that began to trickle in after me (at least 10 while I was there) and tried her best to remain attentive despite the numerous technical difficulties that occurred and occasionally having to wait for Desiree to come back and assist as there were certain processes she was unfamiliar with. At one point. We needed to call my insurance company, but the issue was there was only one phone for the entire store and the optometrist was using it. Throughout that time, several customers had to needed to have the insurance company's called as well, but again everyone was waiting for the same phone line. I proceeded to call my insurance company on my personal cell phone as I had already been in the store for 45 minutes at this point. Marlene also called on her personal cell phone. The issue was still unresolved, the conclusion was that Marlene could manually enter all pricing and information needed and I was offered to pay out of pocket and apply for reimbursement. Needless to say, I ended up leaving after 1 hour and 10 minutes without any merchandise being ordered and insurance coverage available. During several points throughout my visit, I witnessed Desiree's complete lack of regard for customer service issues related issues that were directly related to product quality, technical difficulties and delays due to the lack of proper equipment. I would highly recommend improving these processes and not having only two Associates available, one of which being in training (especially during the holiday season) and having limited access and knowledge as it creates an unpleasant customer experience.

They greet you when you come in and provide a nice waiting area. I got my eye exam from Dr. Korrin Goode and she was wonderful. She was thorough and efficient and also specialized in my eye condition. Ian helped me pick out my frames. His approach is what made me feel comfortable because I told him I didn't want to spend much just was looking to use my insurance benefits and he guided me to the right pair of frames. At first I thought they only offered high end designer frames but then I realized that they really do have a pair of frames for just about everybody. I went in to pick up my glasses and Ian told me they were having a promotion and I decided to get another pair since I had just broke my glasses a couple days prior and needed a new casual pair. Ian even offered to repair my old glasses. Overall I see why Total Vision Sports Arena is known for its 5 star reputation. Wonderful experience.

I had read a lot of reviews and choose Urban Optiks with very high expectations due to the many…read morepositive reviews. They easily met those expectations. I appreciated being able to communicate by phone (especially making appointments) and any calls were answered quickly and efficiently. The office was easy to find (including parking--I must've lucked out!) and was very clean and inviting. I chose very inexpensive glasses and did not feel like they tried to up-sell me beyond what I wanted. I had planned to get the glasses elsewhere but am glad I changed my plans and used their services. The glasses themselves are fine for my needs--a little more plastic-y that I expected but I'm pleased with them and with the pricing. They gave me a hard case for the glasses which means I won't destroy them too quickly. They also included lens cleaner (which they will refill) and a lens cloth. I think I liked everything about my experience here.

MODERN LUXURY EYE WEAR (5 stars)…read more Get your eyes checked! Majority of us, if not all, pay for these health benefits every pay check and we don't use them. Mind you, your eyes are very important organs - get them checked. With that in mind, I decided to pick a good place based off of reviews because the past few years I went to "convenient places" with an optometry section (Costco, Target) and haven't had that great of service. Back to going to smaller independent optometrist for better overall service. I scheduled the earliest appointment which was about a week out and didn't have any preference on Dr. I ended up getting assigned to Dr. Phu! Depending on time of day, the area can be difficult to find parking - my appointment was at 5:45pm when everyone's coming home and had a difficult time looking for parking and was almost running late to my appointment. I was quickly brought to the back examination room. EXAM. Eye exam with the benefits I have - $10. went with the comprehensive eye exam. There were two options, one to get your eyes diluted (the oldskool way) or not (the newskool way) but with an additional $40 fee. I went this route. Did the regular read letters in different sizes. Then moved to 4 machines that did a variation of testing to check the health of the eyes and etc, do more testings, and take a picture of the anatomy of the eye. Happy to hear everything is fine and I am close to 20/20 vision - although I have worn bifocals since I was 8yrs old and told by several optometrist I have slight stigmatism in my right eye. This exam, there was no stigmatism - if there is it's probably so minor it's not noticeable. And no signs of glaucoma! The exam was about 30m. I reviewed my prescription right away and was not pushed to buy glasses here. FRAME SELECTIONS Very high-end and unique frames! Have you ever seen someone with amazing eyewear and wonder why they got their glasses because it stand out - this is the kind of place where you would get them. The frames here are very pricy but they are also very unique. Many cool ones with personality and pop but my character is very basic and simple that those wouldn't fit me. I asked about what if I brought in my own frames outside (brand new) and they are willing to work with you to get lenses for them. Of course addition paperwork will be filled. I like this place and will bring my future eye service to them. Until the next review...

I was able to find the exact pair of Oakley frames I had purchased at Lenscrafters for almost $60.00 less.

So not only did they fail to deliver the product correctly, they overcharged me hundreds of dollars. When I went in to confront them, they refused to take responsibility or honor what they had said. The manager was incredibly rude, dismissive, and completely useless. No apology, no accountability, nothing. This business is built on lies, zero integrity, and terrible customer service. I've never dealt with such unprofessional behavior. Don't waste your time or your money here -- you'll regret it.

Even as staff changes over time, the patient-first mindset never seems to slip, which says a lot about the doctors and how the practice is run.

He was very good , but pricey. Also, I didn't always like how his technicians would push optional tests on you that you didn't need. They also didnt always tell you about the cost. You'd walk out of his office after about $300 without contacts or glasses. You could end up spending about $1500 for glasses or more depending on your prescription and if you add all the bells and whistles. At Eyeglass World you usually spend way less. Also, the customer service is outstanding. When I walked in I was greeted by Brian and directed to where I check in for my eye appointment, Tresten checked me in and he was very friendly. Within in 10 minutes I was called into the pre test room where he took a pictures of my eyes did eye measurements and the eye puffer test. He did ask if I wanted to do an extensive eye test for $15, but I declined. Not long after I was put in the exam room and Dr. Yarnell came about 3 minutes later. She was really good. She walks you step by step on your exam and the findings. After the exam I went to look at glasses. I had a friend with to help me look at glasses and see which ones looked the best. I was in between 4 pairs and than Monsay came to help us and she agreed on the glasses that were my number 1 choice. I spent after all the add-ons and insurance discounts $226.30. I'm just deciding if I want the 1 year protection plan for $25. I have 30 days to get it. Anyways great customer care/service. I will be back and have established a new optometrist.
