Lorden and Josh were awesome! Helpful and friendly! First time getting glasses! Wide variety of frames! Their sale was better than my insurance coverage! Thank you!!! read more

Please find some other better provider, they are cheat. I have complaint to BBB, eyemed and other review places as well. I went to get contacts for the 3rd time; they still said I need to pay $70 for checkup and paid for 3 months of supplies. What I got back was 2 sample contact for $90 and fake receipt for $124 eye test. Avoid at all cost!!!! read more

This is horrible place for appointment scheduling..called them today to to schedule an appointment, got an appointment for 1:45. I told them that I would have to be out by 2:30 while I was scheduling the appointment. As soon as I reached the front desk person is so rude to me to say that they are running behind and I should reschedule my appointment to some other day. Also the whole attitude here is to sell you glasses not to do an eye checkup. Will never return to this place again read more

Pearle Vision - Get ready to rip off - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

I have been using Yelp for years and rarely leave negative reviews, but felt this was necessary after the experience I had here. I recently relocated to this area and needed an eye exam so I could order new contacts, so decided to try this Pearl Vision. I showed up to my eye exam and was seen promptly, which was nice. The staff at the front desk were also very nice and friendly (which is why I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1). The woman that completed the tests prior to the doctor seeing me did not know how to operate one of the machines (the one that blows air in your eyes)- and needed to have someone come in and show her, but that wasn't a big deal. However, once the doctor entered, everything went downhill. She made really awkward and weird comments throughout the exam. She also insisted on giving me a WAY stronger prescription from what I had even though I told her multiple times it was too strong. She said she would order me a trial pair so I could test them out, and did not write me a prescription so I could order contacts. She did not explain anything to me, and was overall very unfriendly and unhelpful. I was told by the front desk that I would receive a call once they came in. I left and went to Target, and received a call from Pearl Vision about 40 minutes after I left that they made a mistake with my insurance (???) and I owed another $15, and asked for my credit card info again. I told her I would pay it when I came in to pick up the trial lenses I was being forced to test out. I called 3 days later to check the status on these lenses, since all of this was holding up me ordering new contacts. I was told the trial lenses had already come in and I could pick them up the next day. No one at the office ever bothered to call me and let me know. I showed up the next day (today) to pick up these trial lenses, as I was told to do on the phone the day before. I was informed that I needed to schedule a follow-up appointment with the doctor to try on these lenses and see if they fit, etc. I was told I could not pick up these trial lenses. WHY was I told the day before to come pick up these trial lenses??? The front staff said it was a mistake. I asked, since I left work early and traveled all the way there for no reason, if I could see the doctor and figure this out that evening instead of waiting another week, and the front staff was extremely helpful, and fit me in to see the doctor. Thankfully, it was Dr Hanna who saw me, and not the doctor I originally saw. Unlike the original doctor I saw, Dr Hanna was very kind and helpful and informative, and apologized for the mix-ups/what was going on. I told her about the other doctor insisting on giving me a prescription that was way too strong for me despite me telling her multiple times it was too strong, I tested out the trial lenses (which were indeed WAY too strong for me- as I said they would be), and she fixed the problem quickly. This entire experience was irritating and unnecessary (I should not have had to make 2 different trips there just to get my lens prescription), but Dr Hanna was able to resolve it. I would also like to emphasize again that the front desk staff were all very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout this ordeal which made things a little better. read more

This place is super professional! The employees there are very accommodating, helpful and friendly. They have a huge variety of glasses, most that I like are in stock! I will definitely recommend this location over Springfield. Will return as a regular customer and bring my family as well. Thank you guys so much. I will be back read more

We have been going here for the past 3-4 years. The doctors are great. We really like Dr. Hanna and she was great with my son. We also love Damien in the eyeglass area. He is patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. He also adjusts my son's glasses with no problem. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

let me say it loud the best service and stuff!!! beyond my expectations a+ love the variety of oakley very friendly sale person name jessica helped me to choose and verry happy place read more

Beware of this place if you want to return glasses. Their refund policy clearly states any glasses can be returned within 30 days ... I'm sitting here now writing this review because they want to give me a store credit... the glasses were over 900 which is ridiculous and my insurance paid a portion... so here I wait ... I'm not leaving without a refund... I may have to sleep here read more

I rarely give negative reviews; however, I had a terrible experience at this location. I called in advance to ensure that my appointment would go as planned. The front desk staff, especially Corinne, were really helpful. However, the exact opposite was true for the Opticals' side. They were completely unaware of any information, gave incorrect information to Front Desk staff multiple times and did not seem to care that they were wasting a customer's time. Obviously this upset me. As I was walking out, thoroughly upset after wasting my time, the employee named Will from Optical had the indecency to laugh and pass snide comments. Terrible incompetence and lousy customer service. read more

I had a great experience at Woodbridge Pearle Vision. Jenny was an amazing as she helped me pick out a frame that was perfect for my face! I have trouble standing for long periods of time, so she brought dozens of frames to the desk for me to try. I was very happy! When I picked up my glasses, I was thrilled. Thank you all at Woodbridge for being so helpful! read more

They have horrible customer service and the prices are outrageous- so over priced. I got a great pair of glasses at a third of the price!! Never ever will I go back there!! read more

Stay away, I got better glasses for less at the "non chain" eyeglass store in Woodbridge Townes on Main st. The bait and switch is old too. Here these glasses cost $700 but because you are such a great person we can give you a break at $500. The eye doctors there seem good. They are not affiliated with Pearl. read more

Had a great experience getting an exam and fitted for new contacts. Dr. Hanna is a an absolute professional. I've been having trouble with contact lenses and eye irritation, she was super attentive and gave me 3 different types of sample lenses to take home and try out. The exam was very thorough and answered a lot of questions I had. The front desk staff and techs were all super friendly and welcoming. The office and exam rooms were spotless! Sterling Optical at Menlo Park Mall is an absolute nightmare, I'll never go again. Thanks for being great Dr. Hanna and staff! See you soon! read more

I'm the guy who never goes to a doctor, but my eye was swollen shut for a few days so I thought it was time. I was greeted by a friendly & smiling staff as soon as I walked thru the door - which put me at ease. The incredibly beautiful Dr. Hanna was able to squeeze me in the Friday before Memorial weekend which was a amazing since I've called at least 5 other eye doc's within a 15 radius & she quickly diagnosed the problem. After a few days of following her treatment I'm back to being me!.. Thank you.. E.C. read more

Ladies at the front desk were welcoming and attentive. Dr. Hanna was very prompt and informative during my eye exam, just recommend that all equipment is wiped down in the patients presence in the examination room as well. Overall, my visit was pleasant and took very little time. read more

I just had my eye exam at Pearle Vision in Iselin, NJ. Dr. Hanna gave me the most thorough exam; she is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. She makes sure you understand everything she tells you. She should get 10 stars! The office staff were great with scheduling the exam and working with insurance. They should get 10 stars! Lastly, I worked with Tina while choosing a new pair of eyeglasses. Again, she's very very knowledgeable about the whole process and with insurance for the glasses. She was so patient with me while I tried on about 10 different styles. Tina should get 10 stars! I'm so very impressed with this group! read more

Worse experience with this location. I have called them 4 different times to order my contacts (after the doctor during my contact exam said I was good to order) every call resulted in my hanging up after being placed on hold for over 10 mins. Finally I got an extremely rude girl yesterday (names Corrine or something like that) and after telling me I had to come end I told her to just send me my prescription because I was done at this point. This chick proceeds to just hang up on me instead. Go to another location if you can. They are terrible and unprofessional. read more

Very helpful!!!! I was in town on business and broke my glasses. I stopped at a LenCrafters on the highway to repair my glasses. The receptionist told me they couldn't fix my glasses if I didn't get them from them but I can buy a new pair. I just got them a month ago near my home in Philly so I left. I then saw a Pearl Vision and hoped they could help me. I was greeted by a sweet young lady that said our Optician will help you. He took a look went behind the desk worked some magic and fixed my glasses in two minutes. I asked how much and he said just come back for your next pair. Thank you, Pearle Vision I'm a customer for life!!!! read more

No one answers the phone and no one gets back after leaving a message. Definitely do not recommend.

Such a highly unethical place. Tried to purchase a pair of glasses for $189, ad $99. Had insurance to cover $150 for frames. Originally the ma helping us said the total should be around $150 with insurance and then 40% off the second pair. Magically that jumped to about $450. When asked to give other options he kept insisting "this is everything you need" and refused to give a breakdown or explanation of the outrageous costs. After being told that we wanted the absolute basics, he still refused to give us just that. I would never refer anyone or return to this store again. read more

Call center was HORRIBLE. Call center woman was a total imbaciel and incompetent. Had to repeat all questions 4 to 5 times (and I am American and speak very clear). Then the iselin office had to call me back as the information I provided to the imbecile was incorrect. However, my experience with the help at the store was wonderful. I was escorting an 88 year old lady and they couldn't of been kinder or more patient with her. So how to rate? Store 5 plus stars. Call center minus 5 disastrous. read more

Extremely helpful sales staff-- the only PV that does their job and beyond-- highly recommend. Been to Union and Bridgewater locations and their sales staff have attitudes so don't go there, go to this location read more

I just came here because my glasses broke and I didn't have an appointment. The staff here was very friendly and attentive. The person who helped me was Sharron and she was wonderful! She fixed my glasses quickly. I will definitely be coming back here again. Thank you so much Sharron. read more

So I called on Tuesday to make an appointment fit an appointment for Friday, in the same call, I asked the lady if they took my insurance, the women on the phone said they did. Then we get there on Friday and they tell me they don't take our insurance and that they are out of network. Then they said they called me but I have no message. WTF! If I knew that they were out of network I would have never of made the appointment. Actually, Thank You Pearle Vision for wasting my time. read more

Talk about a friendly knowledgeable staff. They knew all the pricing, had humor, just made me feel all bubbly inside. Dr. Bong is great! Very professional and helpful. I think I found my optometrist for the foreseeable future. read more

Great service and reasonably priced! Doctor took his time with exam and my wellness. Staff was very helpful and was able to help me with choices. Highly recommend. read more

Very knowledgeable, caring, and client service oriented staff at Pearle Vision in Iselin. I want to take a moment and commend the staff at Pearle Vision in Iselin, for doing an excellent job with my mother's glasses. Thank you for helping after my mother after she purchased prescription sun glasses at another Pearle Vision location which was not as competent as your location in Iselin. The first time, the glasses were hideous, lens were protruding out of the frame. I returned the glasses, with hesitation from the optometrist my mother's glasses were re-done. After, days of my mother using her re-done glasses, she informed she could not use them because the glasses fatigued her eyes. A few weeks passes and my mother would not use her glasses. I went to my mother's eye doctor had them inspect the lenses and prescription and discovered that the second time the glasses were re-done the progressive prescription was not centered. So this was the reason for the malaise and fatigue in her eyes. This is when I went to the Pearle Vision in Iselin, took, my mother's glasses in to be inspected by the very knowledgeable optometrist and she also noticed the progressive prescription was not centered. Unfortunately, I do not recall the names of the staff members at the Pearle vision in Iselin; however, I would like to commend the manager that advocated for my mom and reached out to the other location and explained to them the issue and without hesitation she took ownership and said she would correct the issue, also the friendly and knowledgable optometrist, and the gentlemen who did the measuring for my mothers frame who zeroed in on her actually frame size in proportion her face/nose bridge. Job well done, Pearle Vision in Iselin. As far as your colleagues, at the Route 22 store, they have a lot to learn from your location. Sincerely, Ricardo C read more

Great service as always at this office. I walked in with broken eye glasses and without hesitation Brandon fixed them and had me on my way. Time is money and he didn't waist either. Thanks Brandon and all the staff at Pearl Vision. read more

Worst customer service ever. Dealing with the office manager Tina was the worst experience in the islin office. After receiving my colored contacts I notice I was getting headaches everyday. I went back to see the doctor and she realized that the prescription was to strong and that's why I was getting the headaches. I spoke to the office manager Tina trying to get reimburse or order the correct prescription for the open contacts box she told me that I couldn't get my money back or order the new prescription for the open box of contacts. First of all their office gave me the wrong trial contacts and wrong prescription why I'm I not being reimbursed for their mistake. Tina the office manager mention that she couldnt do anything for me that she had to discuss with her district manager who was coming in the following day. She said she would call me the following day after speaking with district manager. After several attempts to reach her SHE NEVER CALLED! Finally tina called on telling me the only thing she can do was give me 3 months of CLEAR contacts. I PAID FOR 1 YEAR SUPPLY OF COLORED! I told her I wanted to speak to the district manager because this was not right on their part. 3 weeks later I'm still waiting for the district's managers call. Their mistake why should I have to pay. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE on behalf of the office manager TINA! would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

The glasses dispensed to me have a problem with the lenses: I paid for high-index lenses, but the lenses dispensed are significantly thicker than the lenses in my current frames - same prescription. Paul has agreed to review them, to see what can be done to correct the problem. read more

Stay away from this place. They are not concerned with getting you a good pair of glasses, they will try to trick you into spending a ridiculous amount of money for a pair of eyeglasses. I came in looking for a decent pair of glasses within 200 to 300 dollars they start off by quoting me for 400 dollar glasses. Definitely a bunch of opportunistic vultures working here. read more
