In lieu of medical grade sanitization wipes, hand sanitizing wipes are what are being used to minimally wipe things down. I must say that the tech or whatever her title is did put on gloves prior to touching me. So anyway, if you go on a Saturday, also don't expect full services. It is almost 12 pm and I am still waiting for the dr for my 10:30am appointment. Update: my glasses were made and did not help my vision, so I scheduled a redo. When I got to the appointment, no one was aware that the appointment was a redo and the computers were down so they could not even look up my info to complete the appointment. I was later told that my info was on the office manager's desk, but that info had not been relayed to staff.

And when it came time to select some glasses (frames and options) the young woman working the counter asked a few questions and literally walked me to the pair I ended up getting - first try, I don't even need to see any others.

These frames are not cheap and the lenses are even more expensive so to say that I was disappointed when I picked up my glasses and the Tiffany pair broke as soon as I put them on, I was heartbroken. My daughter's wedding was in a few days in England and opti club actually offered to overnight the glasses to England for me. I declined the offer because I know how mail can get lost especially going overseas. When I came back a week later, my glasses were ready and I again drove to Pensacola to pick up my Tiffany glasses. I wore them two days, and they broke again in the same spot that they broke originally at opti club! I was devastated! Opti club ordered new Tiffany frames and the glasses are great. I didn't like the fact that I had to make 3 round trip visits to Pensacola (I live an hour away) but the ladies were so nice and the fact they offered to overnight them to England speaks volumes. Also, opti club gives a full year warranty on their glasses not 30 days like everyone else!

Disappointed and Misled -- Never Again…read more I recently visited Eye and Coffee Guy (formerly "$50 Eye Guy") for an eye exam because my insurance covers the exam with just a $10 copay. To my surprise, I was charged an outrageous $143 for the exam, with insurance. My insurance also includes a $250 allowance toward any frames, but I was told by the sales associate that this didn't apply to frames in the glass case (such as Oakley, Tom Ford, Coach, etc.). That is completely false. I ended up using my own frames and was charged $568 for just the lenses. After insurance, I still had to pay $170 out of pocket -- just for lenses with anti-glare. I needed the glasses urgently, so I paid it, but I absolutely regret it. On August 1st, I placed my order and gave them my $500 Tom Ford frames to have the lenses fitted. Instead of handling them carefully, they broke my frames during the process. Not only did they fail to apologize, but I was told over the phone that I would need to purchase another set of frames because they were not liable for frame damage per the paperwork I signed. When I asked about a credit or refund since they broke my frames, they refused. I then asked for a refund on the lenses so I could take my business elsewhere, but they told me the lenses were already cut and nonrefundable. To make matters worse, if I bought new frames, the lenses would need to be remade anyway. At that point, I ordered new frames from another store, choosing not to give Eye and Coffee Guy another dime. Twenty-five days later, my glasses finally arrived -- far too long for something so basic. Horrible and slow service from start to finish. For comparison, I later went to another local optometrist who immediately told me that my $250 insurance frame allowance was still valid since I hadn't used it. I was able to use it toward a pair of Dolce & Gabbana frames with no problem. The competitor quoted me $125 out of pocket for lenses with anti-glare, anti-scratch, and UV protection -- all made in-house and ready the same day. Meanwhile, Eye and Coffee Guy quoted $399 for the same lens features and still had to send them off. Even with insurance, I paid more here than I would have paid in full elsewhere without insurance. I feel completely misled, taken advantage of, and frankly, ripped off. The lack of transparency, the misinformation, the refusal to take accountability, and the careless handling of my expensive frames is unacceptable. I will never return for optical services again. To top it off, I've been a loyal coffee customer here 4 times a week. But after this experience, I will no longer be giving this business a single dollar for coffee or anything else. The only thing close to $50 here is the coffee and muffins. Do better.

RACIST STAFF!!! (Excluding Vickie)…read more This review is regarding my experience at Visionworks, 5100 N. 9th Ave., Suite 8101, Pensacola, FL 32504. After three separate visits to this location, I believe I witnessed and personally experienced a disturbing pattern of racial discrimination in the way customers are treated. I want to specifically exclude Vickie from this review, because my concerns are not about her. My experiences with Rachel Andrews and Tracy Schultz were particularly concerning. During my transaction, Rachel Andrews added items/additional charges that I did not request. I discovered them only after questioning why I was being charged more than expected. Customers should not have to discover unrequested additions by questioning their bill after the fact. My experiences with Tracy Schultz were even more troubling. On multiple visits, I personally witnessed her walk past Black customers to assist white customers. When I approached her with very basic questions regarding pricing and refunds, she would not answer them and instead had a Black employee assist me. I was later advised that Tracy could have answered those questions herself, which left me completely confused as to why I was transferred to another employee in the first place. I witnessed this type of behavior on three separate visits. When I returned to complete an exchange, Tracy saw me enter the store and immediately walked away. Instead of acknowledging or assisting me, she went to the mirror and began fixing/fluffing her hair. Once again, another employee was left to assist me. Taken together, these experiences gave me the strong impression that Black customers were being directed to Black employees while white customers received Tracy's attention and assistance. I found the pattern insulting, discriminatory, and completely unacceptable. I do not make an accusation of racial discrimination lightly. I am describing what I personally experienced and witnessed repeatedly at this location. Visionworks management needs to take these concerns seriously and review the conduct and customer interactions occurring at this store. Based on my experience, I strongly caution African-American customers about visiting this Visionworks location for glasses or optical services. No customer should ever be made to feel that the color of their skin determines whether an employee is willing to acknowledge them, answer a basic question, or provide them with service. Again, this review does NOT apply to Vickie.
