The best LensCrafters ever! I've been to a few LensCrafters and this one is top notch! The staff is over the top from greeting you upon entrance in the store, helping, providing information, and giving their feedback about the glasses. The examination with the doctor was very professional and thorough. Highly recommend their services! LensCrafters in Palm Desert is the best! read more

LensCrafters - Business information - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This is for the store part, can't speak for optometry. Service is poor. At this particular location it seems the women workers here make you feel like they are doing you a favor by even just being there. Had a sour experience purchasing AI glasses there in January and then I called about a repairs for other Lenscrafters purchased glasses the other day and she just had attitude. Go somewhere else. read more

I went in to the Lenscrafter to have a small adjustment made on my glasses. The manager pretty much blew me off, saying they were too busy to help me. I could sit and wait until another employee returned from her break in fifteen minutes or so. A woman greeted me when I arrived at the store, but the manager said she was a new employee and couldn't help me. She was only there to greet customers. I doubt if I'll purchases glasses from Lenscrafters in the future, as I had an unpleasant experience with the staff when I bought and picked up my glasses earlier this year. read more

Came again yesterday (didn't want to but had to) and they were 1.5 hours late again! I don't understand how they this this is ok

Best glasses ever. My girlfriend and i both buy our glasses here because of the tremendous selection of frames to choose from. No high pressure sales pitches. They are very patient with the customers and let them browse all there is to see with no pressure. Once you choose one or two pair they sit down with you and carefully go over all the options with putchasing, and discuss insurance options and financing options. Very friendly and professional service. read more

See all

I just called today to make an appointment. She was REALLY, REALLY struggling! Wasn't listening at all. Maybe there is a new dispensary nearby? read more

Unfriendly service and poor selection. Go elsewhere - wish I had. Perspectives Optometry is fantastic. I'll go there next time.

I Do not recommend this lenscrafters the manager (lady with tattoos) is super rude and thinks she's doing you a favor by helping you. I'm there to spend my money at at lenscrafters it's not her store. Well I decided to leave them a bad review based on her treatment towards me only. I did not critique the other employees just her. It was 3 weeks ago on their own "how did we do email" well I have not received my new glasses and I'm sure they will not call me to tell they are ready. I am updating this review to highlight Angel and the other workers who kept trying to get my glasses done correctly. He resent my new prescription and was able to get the job done Thank you Angel. read more

A simple acknowledgment would have made a huge difference here. In fact, just staff giving a crap probably would be even better. I'm sure many people make the mistake of booking at the wrong stores all the time. Well, the male staff member who was at the desk, where the eye appointments are, all he needed to do was acknowledge that I was there, I would have found out I was at the wrong store. And, the time I sat there, I could've made it to my appointment. He said that I had a 10 minute grace period but 'probably wouldn't make it in time" So much for helping me out. read more

The staff at this store in the shopping center on Highway 111 are friendly, helpful and professional. I bought a pair of replacement glasses and April assisted me. She was knowledgeable about the inventory and offered good options for me to choose from. She was good at the sizing and measuring part of the process and she has a knack for making a difficult process easier. I went back on another occasion to get a pair of glasses tightened up around my ears because I was preparing to start a new job that required a tight-fitting pair of glasses. I was very pleasantly surprised when one of their certified opticians was able to get them nice and snug again. It made a huge difference in the way they felt on my face. The gentlemen that fixed the glasses made an impact on how I look at the LensCrafters brand now. read more

Dont recommend going to this place. Nurse was great, the eye exam part felt rushed and I dont trust the prescription, she gave me. I even sampled the prescription and it hurt my eyes. Dont use Vi Nguyen. read more

Got some Ray-AI frames at Costco, but had to go here to convert the sunglasses into prescription glasses. Costco won't do that for those frames, so LensCrafters has to do it. While there my husband bought an additional frame, and lenses. Not cheap as you may know. That was last September. Recently one of the lenses in the LensCrafters frames started to fracture, visible cracks by the nosepiece. That's only about 8 months ago... we assumed (wrongly as it turned out) that the lenses ( made and installed in their own facility ) would have at least a one year warranty.... But no. We were told in no uncertain terms they would not make a new lens since we had not purchased an extra cost warranty when we bought them. And the woman was NOT friendly at all, or the least bit sympathetic to the failure of THEIR lens to last at least one year. Never again will we darken that store. It's a shame Luxottica owns so many brands. Meanwhile, we'll continue to shop Costco Optical. They stand behind what THEY sell... LensCrafters couldn't give a f**k read more

Thank you, LensCrafters. I went today to get three eyeglasses adjusted and cleaned even though I did not purchase them there The sales associate Yenni. I apologize if I forgot the name I'm grateful for the service read more

Michael was so helpful during my visit yesterday. I came in looking for a new pair of glasses for my updated prescription, and he was able to help me set up a new account, and also add on the blue light and anti-reflection features. I saved more money by doing so! He was also very easy to talk to, and I felt very welcome. The store itself was very clean and well organized. They are organized by brand and the layout feels very clean and modern. read more

High praises for Marco, the miracle worker, who was able to repair my glasses after a fall and face plant. Needless to say, they were squished! He was able to make them wearable again. I can't thank him enough! read more

Airport lost my luggage and they hooked me up with a pair of disposable contacts. Saved my vacation.!

Whatever advantage LensCrafters had by offering glasses in about one hour is now gone. Their "sales" are disingenuous meaning that discounts from retail are phony as rarely does one pay list prices for frames. Their charges for lenses are simply and as nicely as I can say it, are not competitive . Find another place to buy your glasses. read more

It's the tale of two lens crafters just a few miles apart but a world apart when it comes to service! I highly recommend the one next to the French Corner cafe, an amazing restaurant by the way! The lens crafters in the mall where I ordered by glasses from after a few months of use, screw fell out. They did not have one so they required me to purchase one which was 2 weeks ago now! No phone call yet. I am wearing my old prescription which is not ideal. So, I decided to call the lens crafters at Desert Crossings! The lady said sure! Come on over, we can fix them! So I did, met Charity Nava who took them back filed down a screw to fit and handed them back to me! Took all of 5 minutes! I was blown away! The store looks like it's on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills! The selection is so much better than the mall store! Skip the mall and head to the desert crossings location! World class experience you won't regret!! Thank you Charity for making my day and allowing me to see clearly again!!! read more

If they were honest. I paid $700 for replacement lenses after two weeks and three phone calls. I was always told the order was canceled and they would call me back no one ever returned my call. I would never attempt to do business with this charlatan organization again. read more

I went to LensCrafters in Palm Desert, CA by 72393 Hwy 111, to have my reading glasses adjusted, and this young Lady Charity Nava attended me with a very friendly smile and she was very helpful and adjusted my glasses right away, ( 2 pairs of glasses) at no charge! She gave me a great service, I'm so happy to have chosen this place to get my glasses, I would really recommend this place!!! Thank you so Much Charity!! Thank you Janet Reyes read more

terrible service, I brought my glasses and told them what I wanted, had a prescription that was still valid but they tried to push me for another examination which I declined, asked for 2.0 and they made me 1.0 even my prescription said 2.0. they returned my payment. read more

I went in to this location for a new pair of glasses. April helped me (and my partner in the past) and she was fantastic! I highly recommend her and her expertise. Thanks April!! read more

Easily the WORST location to go to. Go to the mall, or the next city over, or ANYWHERE else. I paid for the insurance and "scratch resistant" lenses for my 7 year old autistic daughter and ordered replacements after hers GOT SCRATCHED and it's been about a month and she still doesn't have replacements. No communication, getting hung up on, bad customer service, and all the run around. Working with these people feel like going to a bad mechanic or a shady car salesman. My daughter needs her glasses and she needs them soon. I don't care about 'free upgrades' on her frames. Does this review matter? Probably not. But if other potential customers read this, save your money and go somewhere else and save yourself stress. read more

I do not recommend this location. I'm here in the waiting room. It's 1 1/2 hours after my scheduled appointment and there are still 2 people ahead of me. The staff doesn't seem to care and the doctor is making no effort to apologize or make up time. I will not return. read more

We needed a replacement pair of glasses and an eye exam for a trip. LensCrafters was not our first choice but due to circumstances went there anyway. Our experience with Alexis and Dr. Nguyen was better than expected. Not sure why so many negative reviews. Alexis is very detail oriented and provided excellent customer service and advice on frame selection. Got in and out with a new pair of glasses in under two hours. The deduction of one star due to the fact they didn't have in stock the more affordable lenses so spent more on new specs than anticipated. Didn't seem scammy just a matter of circumstance. Be kind to people who deal with lots of grumpy people and drama. Definitely will go back in the future. Professional and clean place to shop for eyewear in a seemingly dying mall. read more

My new lenses were making me dizzy, so I took advantage of the 30-day guarantee and stopped in the store on December 26, 2023 to get them changed. Then, during the next month, I stopped in the store multiple times, after being told the replacement lenses were ready. On each occasion, the staff would rummage around in the drawers behind the counter, then they would go in the back and rummage around there, then they would come back out to the counter and stare at the computer screen. They always had trouble locating my lenses and/or my frames. So, a month later, I still don't have my replacement glasses. I have never experienced such a disorganized workplace. A MONTH LATER - I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE GLASSES! read more

My wife and I had the most amazing experience at this LensCrafters in Palm Desert! April helped us out, and she was awesome! Very professional and knowledgeable. She had great suggestions on frames for both of us with our very different prescriptions. Can't wait to get our new specs! read more

I just called an hour ago, spoke to Crystal, and explained I needed new lenses because mine were scratched. I was told to just walk-in and that I did not need an appointment. Upon arriving less than an hour after my call, I was told by other employees that they had no openings for 2 1/2 hours, which was not possible given my schedule. So I just wasted an hour of my day and $15 in gas. I will not be giving Lens Crafters any more business, including my family because of how unprofessional this experience was. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The place is a wreck and they give no warning they're under construction. The customer service is terrible. No one seemed willing to do anything. There glasses selection is small and lacked many options. And worst of all they had us sitting for 50min waiting. We asked what was taking so long and they blamed our insurance taking a long time. But they called us the day prior and got all our information. Rather than telling us the truth (running late, Dr busy) they just lied. When we told them we'd like to cancel our appointment they weren't surprised, didn't ask us if they could do anything, just said "ok" and pointed at the door Trust the reviews. Don't go here. Abysmal. Do better or lose good customers. And never lie to your customers. read more

Thank you so much for being so helpful when I walked in today with bent glasses! Great customer service here! Fixed right away. I highly recommend. . read more

They are consistently good. I typically don't buy glasses here.

This is the latest in their quest for customer service. Upon trying to pick up an order that was already paid for, this happened. Their website claimed "Open until 6PM", but at 5:02 PM, they were walking out the door and wouldn't help their customer. They said, "We've closed and the alarm is on". The customer was leaving the next day, not to return until Summer and they choose not to help at all. Bah Humbug! read more

LensCrafters - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Palm Desert, California

amazing place sososososossosos great its amazing I recommend to go here for your sunglasses glasses whatever it is GO HEREEE. The best manager ever great service read more

Optometrist is fantastic. Been coming to store for 20 years. My family wont be coming here again. The front end of the store is not a place I like to do business with. Price gouging with smile instead of concern. You just feel disrespected and a bother. In just a year prices were over double for a long time customer with insurance. I am going to optometrist that fixed my glasses for free in 5 minutes 3 min away with a smile. read more

First time visit* My actual exam with the doctor was great but the customer service while trying to get frames was terrible! I was very patient (2 days of waiting) as I understand technical issues occur. I eventually called in to get a piece of information that wasn't listed on my prescription so that I could get some cheap glasses online for the time being, but in the end the "lead" Alexis was rude and unprofessional. Refused to give me what I asked for and that was the moment I lost my patience. So needless to say I will NOT be returning to this facility and hence the negative review. read more

We made an eye appt for 10:40am. It's been almost an hour and receptionist says, "It's usually an hour or more wait." Never again.

My lens came out of my glasses. I needed a screw. The salesperson was so friendly and immediately replaced it- no charge. Next time I need new glasses, they'll have a new xustomer! read more

Dont waste your time or money. I went in for an eye exam and purchased my glasses...a week and a half later, they are now temporarily closed. No one called me to explain how I am supposed to get the glasses I paid for. I jumped thru hoops and called customer care who couldn't help me cuz get this - they cant see where my order is because they dont have access to the stores system. Really? I ended up calling another store, which is over an hour away. They told me that the store didn't process my order but they would be happy to order them for me. Now I have to wait another two weeks which is b.s. and then drive an hour to get them. I asked customer care for a credit and they cant give it to me, I was advised to contact the store...lol. really? THEY ARE CLOSED. Please stay away from this place. Their lack of customer service sucks. They could have at least followed thru... read more

Big rip off. I have insurance that offers lenses with a $20 co-pay. The gal helping me (don't recall her name, young, heavy make-up, long hair and overweight) flat-out lied to my face. I asked if I can just get the lenses for $20 co-pay she said no, we don't have them. Come on honey, my mother worked as an optician, I know the drill. The Coach sunglasses I wanted to buy I left behind and did not purchase. Instead went home, ordered the EXACT SAME PAIR on-line (lenscrafters.com) with the $20 co-pay lenses - paid $67 total with my insurance. The gal that tried to rip me off tried to get me to think she was giving me a deal for the same Coach sunglasses over $160 with my insurace. People, don't waste your time going to this place - they LIE TO YOUR FACE and try to upsell just to get a better commission. The gal even told me that one insurance company covers all lenses so she sells them the most expensive, Verilux or something like that. I will go back ONLY to have this gal adjust my new sunglasses when they arrive. The eye doctor is awesome, beware of the money hungry sales people. read more

For some reason Lenscrafters decided to get rid of the lab and their promise for "glasses in about an hour". I discovered this recently, when I was in a hurry for new glasses on a Saturday. After LC said I would have to go to Hemet for that service a quick internet search landed me at Affordable Optics off El Paseo in PD. Affordable Optics is fantastic and I had new glasses at a reasonable cost in just 30 minutes! read more
