Another great experience at LensCrafters!!!! Was due for a new pair of glasses and of course matching prescription sunglasses. I had been searching online to see what they have. Found so many pairs that I loved so was hopeful they were in the store. Came in on Monday afternoon, 04/07/2025. The store was clean and well stocked with a wide range of glasses/designer glasses. We were immediately greeted by Katie. She was so wonderful and helpful! She made my experience so pleasant! Showed her my choices, she fitted me for each pair and we were done. She made the experience really fun! Such a sweetheart! Thank you Katie! Can't wait to pick up my glasses!!!!! read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I purchased Prada eyeglasses from this location, and in less than a year the lenses started crackling and clouding. A product sold as premium should not fall apart that quickly. When I returned to the store, the response was rude and unhelpful because I had not bought their warranty. Rather than stand behind what they sold, they used the lack of a warranty as an excuse to do nothing. Apparently, paying a high price for the glasses is not enough -- they expect you to pay extra if you want them to care. The quality was disappointing, but the customer service was worse. I will not return, and I would strongly warn others to think twice before buying from this location. Keep looking for other options. Save your money and shop somewhere that stands behind its products. Luxury prices mean nothing when the quality and service are this poor. read more

Recently went here because they have an awesome price for an eye exam even if you don't have insurance. The appointment was super quick and easy and all the equipment they have access to make the process extremely efficient. But Luke in the showroom was the highlight. He made shopping for my glasses a surprisingly enjoyable experience. I hate trying to decide on new frames and usually am nervous to ask for any help because I can be so picky and indecisive but Luke was incredibly patient and helpful. He took my preferences seriously and helped me to find the best fitting pair or regular glasses as well as sunglasses. I wasn't planning on getting any eyewear after my exam and ended up getting both because they fit so well! Definitely worth checking this place out for an exam or glasses. They have a huge selection and the staff are so helpful. read more

Mom had the best eye experience of her life! Katie was so kind and treated mom like family. She helped mom pick out every specification on the glasses. She was patient and explained everything including pricing options for going through insurance and their promotions. Mom said the eye exam had much better technology than other places she had been, including eye imaging and choosing prescriptions. She has always gone to independent places and not had the best experiences, and she is so glad she tried LensCrafters! She said she will never go anywhere else. Although they have a great selection of frames at all price points she ended up with... 3 pairs of Tiffanys! Thanks, Katie and LensCrafters!!! read more

My husband and I had the eye exam with Diane Truong, OD (managing optometrist) at the LensCrafters, the Escondido Mall location. She was lazy, negligent, and irresponsible. She rushed both of us through the whole process as if the building was on fire only so she could grab her donut and coffee and walk around doing nothing. When I told to her that I cannot even focus when she gives a split of a second per slide, she rudely ignored me saying, "Just Guess" (seriously guessing game, not the eye exam?) and didn't slow down. The test was not accurate, of course, and I could not wear the glasses and had to return them. My husband decided to see if he could get used to the glasses and didn't return them right away and now is stuck with something he cannot wear as well as his test was not accurate also. Total waste of our time and lots of money. The equipment was dirty. The assistant wiped quickly the equipment leaving a film of brown foundation from a previous female customer on the machine without even noticing it. Five stars to Luke who ordered glasses. He tried his best but not much you can do when your optometrist does NOT do a good job. . read more

Their hours are clearly listed as 10am-7pm, apparently it's okay to close earlier than that. Gates were closed over 10 minutes prior to opening. Will take my business to the one in Carmel Mountain, as they are actually open during their listed operating hours. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Awesome experience. Great customer service, we'll definitely be back! My glasses were bent significantly and they were able to fix everything free of charge within 5 mins. Clean store and nice staff. Highly recommend read more

Mine and my husband's new perscription is worse than our old one. When I called back the next day I told a lady there what happend and we wanted a new exam and was asking questions she was clearly irritated and without empathy. Then she hung up on me! read more

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! I've walked in twice for assistance. The first time was for a quote on sunglasses and the second time for repairs on glasses. Someone is always available to help the times I have visited and are happy to help. Customer Service has always been great here! Thank you to the employees who work here! :) read more

They double booked me and I wasn't seen till 20 plus minutes after my scheduled time. they did not apologize, and just gave the excuse that I did not confirm. Which I did and showed proof off. I'm very disappointed that they couldn't at least apologize. I was very polite to the staff, but I didn't feel like my time was respected. Double booking confirmed appointments is messed up. usually the staff is caring, but this double booking thing is wrong. If you go here your appointments may be double booked even if you confirm, and you'll loose time from your day. read more

BEWARE OF WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING YOU The doctor was great and the staff were nice. But they charged me BEFORE my exam for a retinal scan I didn't want. Other locations have me pay at the end and ask me if I want to add the retinal scan on. They didn't do that here they just had me pay for the scan upfront but said the $40 was for my exam. I ended up paying $40 for something I didn't want without any clarification at all. The word retinal scan were not mentioned when I paid before the appt. Then, they had me sign a paper before my exam even happened saying I received my prescription after the exam. The doctor told me I should try dailies when I was happy with my bi-weeklies. I left without my prescription because I was going to try the dailies for a week. It felt off to me b/c the staff said the law now makes them hand us our script bc there have been places holding scripts hostage so they buy from that location. I went back and got my prescription which they had me sign. Right before I signed, I saw they had put the expiration date for August 2025 for glasses and 2024 (this past August) for contacts. Thank god I read it because they went and fixed it for November 2025 and 2026. Overall, it felt dishonest and shady. Especially since I was charged for a service I didn't want and misled about what it was for. As a lawyer, I was shocked by this and it felt very deceptive. Please make them show you a breakdown before you agree to or sign anything. I've never left a place feeling so uneasy. read more

I went there a month ago for glasses for me and my spouse . The doctor was friendly , as well as the staff that helped us. We had appointments , they helped us select glasses and were patience and kind. I will be a returning customer in the future. read more

Nice staff and they accepted my insurance. I felt like the staff was very knowledgeable and the turnaround time getting out the door was under 15 min. My glasses were also ready a week later and they fit perfectly. read more

Not the first time this has happened to me, but this time was particularly upsetting. Show up 40 minutes early for an appointment at the location on West Valley Parkway for them to tell me that I didn't confirm so they canceled it. I said my wife called back to confirm the guy at the counter wants to tell me Pretty much that I'm a liar and nobody confirmed. Then suggest that I wait 45 minutes to see if the next appointment doesn't show up... Why wouldn't they show up if they confirmed? I guess that's why it's so important that we confirm? So trying to wonder why my appointment could be canceled if I confirmed... Oh wait, I didn't says the man at the counter. My wife and I have been going to this location for 15 years, several children through here as well mostly for convenience ..Unfortunately, that ends today... Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, real optometrist? read more

They are SO rude if you aren't a customer! I called asking if they could make a pair of glasses for a patient next day as it was urgent, and gave them the prescription. She proceeds to tell me there's no one who can check for me. Tells me to call back when they aren't busy, I'm thinking how will I know you guys aren't busy.... Can you just call me instead? She proceeds to hang up on me. I call back within another 10 minutes and Jenny answered and was rude to me as well. Seemed very short and annoyed I was asking if they can make glasses in their store for a potential client who would be going to THEM for purchase. I give her the prescription and she tells me they can make it, I am literally in the middle of telling her thank you and asking if they weren't too busy to have the patient come over before she straight up hung up on me! read more

I would like to give a shout out to the staff at this Lens crafters. Laz Katie Maddie Monty Dr Truong they are all super helpful super friendly staff. They help with the insurance and help us pick out glasses. If you are looking to get new glasses the staff here will for sure be very helpful. Thanks again read more

wow, what amazing service. I thought this kind of service dissipated with a new age movement. I walked into the store asked for help. With a big smile, Mr. Jason Hunt help me with what I needed. Not only is a professional, but he was kind and thoughtful. Very impressed thank you again LensCrafters. I will definitely be doing business again with you. read more

I walked in just to look at peek at some glasses for new prescription. Immediately upon arrival, a Young lady approached me and directed me where to go since it was my first time. about three minutes into me looking, Tiffany walked up and introduced herself. What a sweet lady. Very personable, extremely helpful in helping me find a beautiful frame that fit my look at my personality. She has a gift. I had a new pair of glasses within about an hour and she managed to find a discount for me since I didn't have insurance. Super grateful for meeting her, she was a gem in personality and as A sales assistant which I don't think I would call her that. I feel like we can be friends! in other words, I was in her best interest! read more

Great selection of eyeglasses and sunglasses frames! Go to Denise...she knows the perfect frames for your face shape. We had a certain male frame, Oakleys in mind and they serve for both eyeglasses and sunglasses with the transition option. We'll be sure to return to this location for our next pair. read more

Excellent experience with the entire team and doctor. They all have some much patience and genuinely care about their patients. I was so impressed with the time they spent trying to do a contact lens lesson as well as their knowledge of products and what works best. If you want to go where you are truly valued as a patient, I would highly recommend this LensCrafters branch. It was an amazing experience to have such a knowledgeable and professional team. read more

The BEST. Jacks was a great help. Dealing with my undecisiveness on lenses, she didnt skip a beat. So helpful, more than I could ask. What more do u want from a business?!! I visited 2x in last few days and was greeted by her smile and her concern. She took care of me (dont tell corporate, but without a charge)! Customer for life! read more

I stopped in without any appointment, do as I say not as I do, however the staff was able to help me out. I've been using LensCrafters for my optical needs for about 18 years now. This was my first visit to this location. They quickly pulled up my profile, found my prescription, did the insurance pre-authorization, set up my appointment for a doc visit and helped me pick out my new glasses. I'm not the best at picking out glasses that look great on me, but the staff here was super helpful. I see the doc in a few weeks and I'll update again, but so far, five stars all the way! read more

I went to LensCrafters to get some glasses and I specifically told them the amount that I wanted that my insurance covered so turns out I end up paying an extra $110 because they didn't tell me a couple of the exams were costly. I will never go back there again I think this place charges way over what you want. Purposely just to try to get you in there. read more

Went in for an eye exam on 12/27/2021 and to purchase some updated prescription lenses for some of my frames. Only to later realize that I had been double-charged to the amount of nearly $1,400. I have placed MULTIPLE calls and have left messages with staff for management at this location on 12/27-12/28-1/1-1/2-1/3 all with the response of "We left a note for him and he will call you back." and still nothing. Going to call again when they open this morning and after that going to be paying them a visit. Hit up a different location please! read more

LensCrafters - Unresolved double charge - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Escondido, California

Yesterday my wife went in for a standard eye exam to refill her contact lens prescription. Where do I start? I weep for the future generation. If their IQ need only be one point higher than the #2 pencil they are filling out the application with, maybe you should get your eyes checked somewhere else. First, the appointment is 30 minutes late due to the office. The assistant cannot find her supervisor. They invite her to sit down, then ask her to move to the back since they need the chair for a client. They try to run a test that costs an additional $40 that is not relevant to the customer's needs at the moment. To negate that $40 test, my wife has to sign a release form after they had asked her to remove her contacts. "Don't you have glasses? Where are they?" the assistant asks, failing to remember that she came in with contacts. After that, the exam with the doctor was fine. Upon arriving at the desk to pay, the assistant finished charging for the exam, but had to be reminded that my wife was there to get contacts and could she please purchase some today? When the receipt arrived, it had the $40 charge for the exam she had refused and signed the release form for. Unbelievable. My wife had to ask to have it removed from the bill. To close, I would like to remind the reader that the doctor was top notch, but her next examination should be the staff she hired. read more

Wow The welcome vibe in this office is amazing My eye technician Jackie was helpful and upbeats Dr. Diane Truong was great at explaining my needs and super nice. I recommend to come here for your next eye needs The out of pocket cost with no insurance was a steal deal too read more

This was the second-worst customer service experience of my life. The salespeople told me they were covered under my insurance, but didn't mention they were out of network, which was important once they botched my glasses. I had progressive scan lenses made, and I have astigmatism. After two days of wearing the glasses, I noticed my vision was blurry in the near area of the left eye. I went to have it corrected, which turned into a month-long ordeal of repeatedly returning, where they were always dismissive of my problems and acted like they were doing me a favor by trying to fix it. After a month of making adjustments and fabricating a second pair of lenses, they told me the glasses were perfect and maybe I just don't adjust to progressive scan. They implied I was imagining the problems. I went to Invision Opotometry, where they were able to make glasses that work. They inspected the glasses from LensCrafters and found that the axial tilt was 8 degrees out alignment. But, my insurance expired while I was working with LensCrafters to try and fix the issue. The insurance would have paid for a new pair if LensCrafters were in network, but since they're out of network the insurance couldn't do anything. LensCrafters is willing to pay me back my copayment for the glasses they botched, but I'm out more than double that in what I had to pay for the replacement glasses. Lesson learned; stick to legitimate optometrists and stay away from LensCrafters. Edit: LensCrafters has responded, asking me to fill out a customer care form. But, I've already gone through that process and the only response I got was to go back to the store. Whoever was handling the form was completely disinterested in providing any assistance beyond what the store gave. It turned into a game passing the buck from store to corporate and back to store. read more

All the workers are so helpful. I got the cutest glasses with the help of Monty. Can't wait to go back and get more !

Thank you so much to Monte for helping me choose the right glasses for my face shape and style. Was having a hard time choosing, but with his guidance I was able to find a pair that I am very excited about. Hat is off to you sir, see you next time I hope! read more

I walked in with my mom to have adjustments made on our eyewear. We were both helped immediately by different clerks. The clerk who helped me immediately warned me that if any damage happened while she was adjusting my glasses, Lenscrafters was not responsible. She made the adjustments and handed my sunglasses back without cleaning them or making the offer to clean them. The woman helping my mother kept an annoyed expression on her face the entire time she fixed my mom's glasses. My mom wanted to change her nose pads on her transitions lenses. The clerk told my mom that the lab did not have the different nose pads and she couldn't say when the next order would be in. I was disappointed with the rude treatment and the unfriendly staff. I will not be coming back to this Lenscrafters. read more

I took my mom into the North County Fair mall store because she'd fallen and broken her glasses. The assistant manager, Lori Erro, kindly took my mom's glasses back to the lab and tried to fix them. While they weren't perfect, the glasses were wearable again. My mom was impressed with all of the frames this store carried. I was impressed that Lori was willing to help someone who wasn't a paying customer. Thank you Lori! read more

If only I could leave it at no stars. This review is in regards to a employee named Tammy. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years and have never treated a client the way I was treated. I also never leave reviews because everyone has a bad day. This employee was on a level I have never experienced in my lifetime. Rude and disrespectful along with dismissive is a accurate description of the manager. Never asked to speak to a manager just showed up for my appointment. Unfortunately I got the only one standing around doing nothing. Black pant suit approaches and asked my reason for being there. My glasses were made and the lenses were set wrong and gave me double vision. I had them fixed the previous week and had a appointment scheduled to see the doctor. I still can't see and this all started last March! Tammy Informs me that my appointment is over and went along less then 6 feet away to "help" someone else. Not "help" just taking there money. During this pandemic need I say more. read more

This is the place where you can go and try glasses non stop with no questions asked. That is why I like this store so much. No one is pushy or trying to sell you anything. They of course will ask you if you need assistance, but I feel very comfortable just going there trying out stuff and then maybe shopping at another store (due to price or other reason). I have got several pair of glasses in previous years, Chanel and Miu-Miu, that I still wear. They were on super sale, and I am very happy I got those there and they customized the lenses the way I wanted and needed. Overall, great variety, nice people, no one bothers you, try and take pictures of the glasses you want and compare with other stores. Only at Costco I have seen similar freedom. read more

My husband broke his eye glasses right before our vacation. Alma helped us find the exact same frames and had it made within an hour! They provided great customer service and during covid-19 we were able to drive by and pick up in the parking lot. read more

If you need their advertised 1-hour glasses, forget it. I lost my eyeglasses late yesterday after and went in. They already had my valid prescription. I walked through the whole process of selecting frames, lenses, the measurements and all. I asked if it would be possible to pick them up before they closed and the tech/sales person said, "I'm sorry, but it'll be at least a week." Apparently their lab is down for repair. When I asked if I could bring the frames and everything over to the Auto Parkway location, they said, "No, their lab is down, too, but for a different reason." Nearest location? UTC. Sorry LensCrafters. Fail. Besides you're overpriced with crappy selections anyway. Luxottica monolopy outlet! Waste of time! COSTCO here I come! read more
