Great customer service! I wish I got his name but he's the older gentlemen with glasses that works the lens crafters sales floor. He helped me and was patient as I took forever to look. Place was clean and welcoming. The doctor was fast yet efficient which was nice. They have this new technology where they hold up the iPad/tablet to your face with the frames on. It takes your measurements instead of relying solely on self measuring. That way it's accurate, HOW COOL IS THAT! My glasses came in so fast too not the week they had originally given me. My only down side would be not having a hard case or glass cleaner pad when given the glasses. It comes in a baggie and apparently the baggie can be used to clean it as well which didn't quite work for me. Luckily I have an old cleaner that works fine. Would still definitely recommend! read more

This LensCrafters is amazing! Before I went to this location at the Tacoma Mall, I went to a different location in Puyallup and I did not have a very good experience. I decided to go to this LensCrafters a few days later to order the glasses that I wanted and the customer service was truly top tier. I wanted to order a pair of glasses from Lenscrafters, but the first location I went to did not measure my pupillary distance and told me they would charge me $20+ to measure my pupillary distance. So I called the Tacoma location up and told them the situation. They told me they would be happy to measure my pupillary distance for free and order my glasses for me so I don't make any mistakes while ordering. When I walked into this location, I was immediately greeted with smiles and positive energy. Even better... they had the glasses that I was looking at in store (unlike the other location), so I could try them on and see how I liked them. I LOVED them! They went ahead and ordered them for me and I was on my way. Afterwards, I noticed that it was kind of stupid of me to not add on blue-light protection and anti-glare lenses. I went back to the store and asked them if they could update my order and they said yes! When the glasses were done being made, they shipped it to my house. I am absolutely in love with my glasses and I could not be happier. They fit perfectly (not too tight and not too loose) and the quality of my vision is truly better when I am wearing them! I am BEYOND happy with this Lenscrafters and I 100% recommend them to anyone who is in the market for a new pair of glasses that are good quality and will last you a long time. Also, since it was around the holidays, Lenscrafters claimed that it would take 2-3 weeks, if not longer, to get my glasses made. It actually took them less time than was estimated, as they were super efficient! Definitely ask for Maria if you go! She is super fabulous and will make you feel confident about the whole process! read more

dr. kim was my eye doctor for years, dr. great, administrative horrible, simply horrible, so changed doctors last month , new new doc requested my records on 4/30/26and still hadsn't recievd. i called yesterday placed on hold and then hung up on twice, so frustrating that dr. kim trys but staff sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 staff pleasurable but suck at admin read more

I love this office. I've been coming here for 3 years and have always had a great experience. Dr. Kim is always incredibly patient and knowledgeable during my exams. Today's appointment I saw the "guest doctor" and I'm sad I didn't get his name but he was just as warm and friendly. The ease of my appointments are always unmatched. After procuring my new prescription I naturally browsed the selection of frames in LensCrafters which is always abundant with what is trending and also classic style frames. The brand selection is always top notch and everyone is beyond helpful with recommendations. Fran and Nikki helped me pick my frames and did an amazing job. I always recommend this location of LensCrafters, it's hands down the best! read more

Horrible experience at this location. The eye exam was so bad that I spoke to the managers on duty at Lenscrafters. They said it's not their problem even though the both disagreed with the Optometrists business practices. It's a different business tht just leases space from them. My problem is that I booked through lenscrafters. I declined to purchase glasses after the exam because that would be supporting their decisions on not holding their leesee to a standard. The staff were nice and even empathetic to my experience. Empathy is nice but doesn't absolve them of supporting shady business practices within their own stores lease area. read more

Dr. Kim was very cordial and has a fantastic bedside manner. He was very knowledgeable, and explained everything very easily. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would give him a 10/10 for great service. Also, Maria helped my wife and I pick out new frames as well as go over options for lenses to ensure that we keep to a budget friendly option. She helped my wife with her new optometry appointment here at Lens Crafters. She was friendly and welcoming. We appreciated her sales pitch. Overall, combined, they made the process very easy and very painless. My wife was going elsewhere for her eye care, but she was so impressed with this place that she is going to be moving forward with Lenscrafters for her true vision. Thank you so much. A+++ 10/10 and highly recommend :) read more

My mother-in-law is visiting from out of state and had a glasses catastrophe. Without her local glasses provider we were unsure what to do but braved the lens crafters in hopes they could help. Jewel was an absolute gem (if you'll pardon the pun.) Polite, efficient, gracious, and very good at fixing things. I'm eternally grateful for all she did. Her professionalism has earned my future business to be sure. read more

I ordered new frames because I had to get the legs adjusted a couple of times. When I got the text to pick them up, it turned out they were still the same frames with the same issues. I called and spoke with one of the staff, and she told me she hadn't double-checked that the order had been updated to the correct frames. read more

They are super unprofessional, and Philip is very rude and wouldn't let us get a word in edge wise!!!! They are super lazy with their work and not to mention that when they did find our frames they had wrote down the wrong lenses so we had to wait another week, read more

Came here last year for the first time and loved the experience! My glasses are definitely better than the ones i had gotten at another place (americas best). Newer technology and appointments are quick. Will continue to visit here for my exams read more

Do not go here. I asked if they could replace a screw and received it back with a scratched lens. After she gave it back she told me they "aren't liable for any damage" and that there was nothing they can do. read more

Today was disappointing. I went in last week to look at frames which can be a strong profit margin for this business, or to use a couple pairs of frames I love. Extremely helpful and honest about the frames During this time, my insurance is collected and I head home. Today, I came back for the eye exam. I was told of two options and the costs involved with each. Dilatation or a $39.00 option which was faster. I was not told about these options until now. Yes, there is approximately 20 minutes of online paperwork to fill out before the appointment. So, if I choose the option that is covered by my insurance, no co-pay. Or, "your best option", is to pay the $39.00. Dilatation takes 45 to 60 minutes that you sit and wait with a mask covering your mouth and nose, before the exam. I found the conversation with the front desk insulting and manipulative. I am certain this business has a following but for me, after 30 years in sales and marketing, I will go to my eye dr. read more

I live in Federal Way and bought glasses from the Federal Way location once, never again. The Steele St (Tacoma Mall) location has better service; from the eye exam to fitting the glasses my experience at Tacoma Mall was so much better read more

Excellent customer service! Britney the assistant manager greeted me right away and was able to get me in and out super quickly. I broke my glasses over the weekend and she repaired it very fast and answered all my questions. Everything was no-charge as well. Very happy with my service here. read more

Purchased glasses 2 months ago, now they slip off my face. Went in they said the hinge was broken but I would need to buy new frames. They won't stand by their products. Will never use them again! read more

When I started coming here the service was welcoming and pleasant. However, over the past year and 1/2 the service has diminished significantly. I could not get service whenever I called, it was always we are checking patients in and out and we would need to call you back. The call backs never came. I would call and leave messages and no return call. I tried to overlook the 1st year thinking maybe it is a transition period, it was not. This last visit was the last straw. I had made my yearly exam for contacts and the trials had to be ordered and it took some time to receive. I had to call them, and they told me they were in, but I had to make an appointment to try out the trials. Never in my years had I had to do that. So, I had to wait another week to get the trials. When I did come in, they stated that I had to wear them for 20 minutes and I was accustomed to wearing them for a week to see if they worked but that option was taken away. They finalized my prescription, but I did not order at that time because I wanted to be sure they felt good for more than 20 minutes. Sometime later I ordered over the phone with one of the staff. They took my credit card over the phone and stated it would take 7-10 days. When I called and stated I did not receive (over the years it was never more than 5 days) and we are at day 10, they put me on hold and stated they do not have access to the shipping info, and they would need a manager to investigate it and they would call me back. No call back. Next day I called, and they were busy checking customers in and out and they would call me back. I decided to leave work early and visit the office. Once I arrived, I stated who I was, and I was told to wait for another person to assist me and that FEDEX lost the pkg and they would be working on a solution. I asked for the tracking number for the lost pkg. and that seemed to be quite the ask. I was then offered false lashes and other products I do not use. I simply declined and stated all I want is my contacts to be able to see. Later found out that the office flat out lied, and they never ordered my contacts. Customer beware, ask for tracking numbers when ordering products and go into the office. I believe this fail falls under the optometrist for the office conduct, as she has not even reached out to rectify the issue. Not only has she lost me as a customer, but I have asked my daughters to stop using this office as well. read more

This review is NOT for the TruVision part of the store. They were absolutely fantastic. 5 stars for sure. No, this is for the retail portion where I went to buy some glasses. The time it takes isn't their fault, but I ordered on 5/2 and they didn't show up until 5/18. When I finally reached out to them to find out the delay, they thought they lost them and promised to call back. Instead, I got a text that they were ready. The person who sold me the glasses put down that it was my first time with progressives and that they should take some extra time when I got in there to help me learn how to use them. When I arrived, they couldn't get me out of the store fast enough. I get that no one cares about their job anymore and doing it well or not at all means no difference to their pay. That concept was exemplified with my experience. So to sum up the problems: Communication - Terrible. They don't tell you what's going on, didn't give me an accurate idea of how long it would take to get the glasses, and at first tried to charge me for some lenses that would've cost $1000. If RayBan had accepted those, I would've been dramatically overcharged, particularly since my grand total came in at $600 instead of $1400. Service - They didn't have enough people and the one person they had was done in. When I went back, they had plenty of people, but I seemed to interrupt chat time. Because they were not interested in doing their jobs. I had to address someone to get them to even look in my direction and even that was a dramatic inconvenience. I wish I could offer something constructive here. I don't know what Lenscrafters can do to solve their problem. Maybe their culture is garbage and that's why their people don't care. Maybe they don't pay enough. Maybe their hiring process focuses on the wrong traits and they end up with aloof, disinterested people. But they need to figure it out. Next time, I'll get the eye exam and bounce. There's no chance I'll buy anything from Lenscrafters again. read more

I so would have given them 5 stars if their bathroom wasn't worst than a rest areas! However, very spacious. As you walk in they have the hand sanitizers and extra masks! Perfect protocol. Everything was great till they decided that their bathroom was not important due to COVID. Idk see for yourself read more

CHOOSE ANOTHER PLACE FOR GLASSES! Spent 2000$ got the expensive glasses and expensive lenses. Came for adjustment 3 times in 1 month, because the adjustment was not right! First time they broke my frame and replaced it and I was thankful for that... last time I came in for adjustment they scratched my lenses because of the heat, on two pair of glasses! I went on vacation the next day and couldn't come to tell them, I messaged costumer service and they responded with we are sorry! I came back from vacation and went to them and they said we can't do anything even if it's our fault, because of their disclaimer that I, on my side, didn't sign any paper for... So, I'm left with 2 pairs of glasses, that are sideways from their adjustment and scratches on my lenses... 500$ only for lenses... So, save you time and money, go to another place other than Tacoma Mall Lens Crafters... They are nice, but nice doesn't help when they don't know how to adjust without damaging! Usually I was thinking I need to buy protection for me in case I scratch my glasses( that I've had for 10 years and not one scratch) but they ask for people to buy protection because they will ruin your glasses and you will need one... read more

HORRIBLE "customer service"! We visited LensCrafters today around 1pm after I had success with them in Arizona. While entering a lady yells from across the room at us and we tell her we were looking for readers. She lost interest in us and continued doing what she was while a younger blonde girl showed us the small selection of readers. I believe the lady is a manager(BRIGHT pink eyeshadow) comes over and tells us we will need to provide our prescription if we find frames. My boyfriend had a copy in his phone and asked if it would work. She stated that since the prescription is expired by a few months she is unable to help at all, then proceeds to tell us no other glasses stores can either. She was extremely unprofessional, and honestly just flat out rude. My boyfriend and I will never try another LensCrafters now because of her poor representation of the business. This NEEDS to be addressed. read more

If I could give 0 star I would. I have been a customer for over 25 years but will no longer spend my money here due to their refusal to replace my lenses due to a coating failure. I have spent thousands of dollars with them over the years (reading, vision, and sun glasses) but they would eat the cost for a single pair of lenses (my guess is around $50 their cost). So be it. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

If you have Tricare, verify coverage Monday through Friday because they can't do it on weekends and will charge a fee that "might be refunded". They now offer a service that skips the need for dilated pupils, it's $39.xx and so worth it to not have to wait for 30-45 mins for thr drops to work. They were pretty busy but everyone was very friendly and helpful unlike last time, plus the 40-50% off sale got to love it! read more

I was a walk-in Thursday the 2nd and they took the time to see me and also very clearly explained my benefits while providing me with an interim pair of contacts as mine were old. Jacque was amazing and I would highly suggest their service! read more

Earlier this year I went in for my yearly eye exam. This is my first time at this location I usually go to the LensCrafters at South Center Mall with Dr. Kim (he's amazing & his staff has the best customer service). This LensCrafters in Tacoma, WA was so unprofessional. By far the worst experience I've ever had in my life. The male doctor didn't even do my eye exam. He had the receptionist do it. She isn't licensed to perform eye exams. My prescriptions was completely off! (I never got a call for when my trail contacts came in.) This doctor really needs to get his license taken away. Giving someone the wrong eye prescription is extremely dangerous. I would never ever recommend anyone to ever come here. I rather drive 30+ minutes away to go to a better doctor then get the wrong prescription. read more

I've been buying glasses from this LensCrafters for years. The experiences to date have been good. More recently, my latest experience has been very poor. We all go to LensCrafters, at an added cost, for speed and convenance. I have a pair of prescription glasses needing to be replaced due to a warranty issue. The local store has the replacement frames in stock. Rather than making it easy on me, they insist I wait until the warranty replacement frames arrive. The wait is 2-4 weeks. Yet, they could address my problem now and make it positive customer service experience. This is unfortunate and is counter to why I've done business with them for over ten years. If you don't need service and support, this is a fine retailer. However, if you're like most, you will need support, so I'd consider shopping elsewhere. I know I'm planning to look elsewhere next time a need to purchase glasses. read more

The staff were all very professional and friendly! I saw Dr. Kim for my eye exam, and she was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job explaining my exam and answering my questions. When I went to select my frames, Alyssa was very friendly and made the check-out very smooth. I haven't been to an eye doctor in 5 years, and I am happy with the great care I received from this LensCrafters for my first time back. read more

Apparently, no one works here. Walked into pick up glasses I ordered online. Stood around for 20 minutes without even being acknowledged. I walked up to the person at the eye exams desk and let her know I was here to pick up glasses and didn't know where to go she respond with "you are just going to have to be patient". As if I wasn't standing by the door patiently for 20 minutes. As I continued to wait I decided to look at glasses, a women finally acknowledged me and proceeded to yell from across the room not to touch the glasses and whatever I touched I need to put on the counter so she can clean them. At least I finally got their attention. Great selection of glasses. No Customer service what so ever. read more

I have been to this location twice so far for new glasses (once last year and once this year), and will continue to go here as long as Sam is the manager! Both times that me and hubby have came here, the workers have been super nice and very helpful. We love the selection of glasses they have, and the prices are typical for what you would pay for name brand glasses. The manager Sam is awesome!!! He has a cool accent too. I think he's like Ethiopian or something like that, but every single time we come in there he always has a smile on his face and is ready to help. We have came in there a few times over the past 2 years to have our glasses adjusted, and whomever helps us with fixing our glasses has always been nice. read more

The worst experience ever. I love the instote eye exam center, but lenscrafters is totally different. After happy with my exam service I am so excited for my glasses to be done. Lenscrafter staffs are unprofessional, they ran places to places. Finally, they paid attention to me and ask me. I gave them my Burberry glasses that I bought 3 years ago but could not get done because my exam was 8 years ago and I hate glasses so did not get done. Debbie want to fine a tape to scan check out. I told her that was mine and I brought from home. I even showed my glasses to the lady who check me in for eye exam when first walked in. Debbie look at me from head to toe with an evil look, " are you sure, do you have your receipt for it" . I told her " im sure, of course i have my receipt". But who brought their 3 year old glasses in for eye check. I told her "I have picture on my phone while I worn this glasses, you can check, this was old version because I bought 3 years old. You can check your store if this stype even available at your store. " she did not say anything and check me out , she was not patient enough to pull out my insurance that 30 mins ago truvison could. I had to paid full price without insurance. After got home, and talked to my family. I decided tried to call store and cancel my order because I dont think they deserve my business. read more

LensCrafters is usually great, but recently I attempted to get a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses (ORB3647N) exactly as the display model was set up, with the standard green polarized lenses in my prescription. When all was entered, the LensCrafters "system" would not accept the order without adding a reflective coating to the lenses, even though the display model did not have a reflective coating. There was no cost difference that I am aware of, but the reflective coating completely changes the personality of the glasses in my opinion. I ended up leaving without buying the sunglasses. I hate that there is nothing that can be done to correct this with their ordering system. They lost a $400 sale, all because the "system" was wrong and could not be fixed. read more

Great service! Jenna was extremely patient in helping me find the perfect prescription glasses and sunglasses. She also arranged for my eyewear to be shipped to California where I go to school. Thanks for your help. read more

I had gone to this specific Lenscrafters despite one being closer to me at the positive review from a co-worker who got contacts with them. Even though I decided to go the LASIK route over contacts, I wanted to leave a review because everyone at the store was very friendly, and I appreciated their quick service. I have a rare astigmatism and so they had to order my contacts for the free week trial, and they were ready within the week. If I had gone the contacts route, I probably would've stuck with them and Dr. Kim. read more

I've been seeing Lenscrafters for the past few years now and have had positive experiences. I feel like the Lenscrafters at this specific location was extremely pleasant and prompt. I would definitely consider them as my longterm provider! read more

First one in the door with no customer and still no service. Older brunette hair with glasses and no customer service skills name Mary hair just look at us while we wait with no one inside. Look for Angela (she's very helpful) and grateful she was there the next time we went read more

James Hess is the reason I returned to this Lens Crafters. He was professional, courtesy, and extremely knowledgeable. Even though the frames I had my heart set on before I went to the store didn't work with my prescription, James worked even harder to find another frame that made me just as happy. In fact I found two pairs! This was the first time ever where I didn't feel like I settled on frames because my power is high there's usually very few frames to chose from. Thank you James. I will be back. read more

They used to do this in the past but now they will not place my new Rx lens in my own frames. Very frustrating and a waste of time.

Listen up All Active Duty and dependents, this place gives a huge discount on Tricare applicants. That is why I picked here to get my glasses and lenses. I saved so much money. My total for the glasses and lenses price was $350 and with Tricare it totaled to me $166! Go on base to get a free eye exam. It is worth the drive to the Tacoma Mall for the prices you will pay. I had such a good experience with my sale guy that I worked with. He was a older gentlemen. He was so nice and very professional. They got me in and out quickly due to me having to go to work soon after I was done paying. I would go back here again for eye glasses and frames. They were all so nice and greeted me at the door. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone but especially to Military families and dependents. read more

Incredibly helpful staff. I needed glasses STAT. The Tacoma Mall location for LensCrafters called around to other stores to learn who could fill my very unique prescription within hours (instead of in a week). Federal Way could not do it but Tukwila could. I followed up on their recommendations - drove to the other store and got my glasses speedily. This LensCrafters really knows what customer service is all about. I recommend it with high confidence. The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive and even checked to see if any sales were going on to help me save money (there were none but I appreciated the fact they checked). read more

I have never experienced such unprofessional incompetence and lack of quality control when trying to get new glasses as I did in my 3 recent attempts to do business with this company. The staff was unable to correctly cut the lens to match my frame, they were unable to make the bifocals the same size on both lenses, they chipped both of my old lenses when removing them, and then did not reinstall them correctly when they finally gave up. I am not a picky person but these are pretty basic things that any company making glasses should know how to do. read more

Went to the clinic for a 210PM eye appointment. When I got there I was asked to update my file, no problem finished it off without incident I did notice that the doctor had double booked another appointment with me I asked the receptionist how long the exam takes. I was informed that it took 45 minutes. At that time it had already been over 20 minutes and the other patient had not been seen. I explained to the receptionist that I didn't appreciate being double booked since I had a busy day and had somewhere else I needed to do. I also shared with the receptionist that I did not appreciate being double booked. If I would of waited for my appointment I would guess it would of been more then two hours in her office. She informed me that this is common practice for them. I scheduled another appointment three days later for a Friday. On Thursday the receptionist stated that the Dr. Sent me a letter stating they were dropping me as a patient. Horrible way of doing business and if you have all day to spend in the doctors office then DR. Kim is your lady. VERY unprofessional, and rude people. read more
