I went in there to get my glasses tightened and everyone was so unbelievably helpful! Shout out to Haley for having such a warm and welcoming smile! I will be back! read more

Stanton Optical - The building - Optometrists Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Avoid at all cost. Not only are they a bunch of unprofessional idiots, they completely screwed up my glasses. When I asked to see what lenses they put into my frames, I noticed they were not my correct prescription. When I pointed this out, three of the not so pleasant young ladies began screaming at me, telling me I just don't know glasses. Maybe not, but I can read the numbers on a prescription and the numbers of the prescription lenses they put into my frames. When I asked them to please explain it to me, instead of owning up to their mistake they simply said oh yeah well you are wrong. Here is your refund and I'm calling the cops. Wonderful establishment that clearly takes pride in employing the least professional people I have encountered in a very long time. Seriously, take your business anywhere else. And thank me later. read more

The store was so busy but they worked me in because it was right near closing time. They still made time to see me and to find the glasses that was going to make me happy. I highly recommend this store. read more

I called and set an appointment for 11:30. I arrived at 11:15. at least one other person came in with no appointment. they took that person ahead of me a little before 12:00. finally at noon they came to me and asked if I had an appointment and I had signed in at 11:15. they then wanted to know if I had filled out the medical questions online, which I had not because the appointment setter said they found my profile since I was a previous customer and mentioned nothing about medical questions. They proceeded then to say they were sorry and gave me an iPad with questions to answer and said they would get me next. After completing the questionnaire and giving it back to them they proceeded to call someone else. I promptly told them to cancel my appointment and walked out. I will never go back and I would never recommend them. I will find a professional office that can meet my needs and treat me and my time like they really care. read more

I wish I'd seen these other bad reviews before I booked an appointment with Stanton in Anderson. I scheduled an 11:00 AM appointment. By 12:30 PM, I still had not seen the doctor for my exam. I told them I was leaving and they then said the doctor was ready to see me. What a crock of BS. Don't go there. BTW, they are NOT accredited with the BBB. read more

Sloppy eye exam, prescription that wasn't right, 2 pairs of glasses returned and so much wasted time. Worst experience in a long time.

The staff in there are some of the rudest and unprofessional group of people I've ever been around. All I wanted to do was order contacts. I had my eye exam done a couple months ago and the lady acted like I was lying about it until she pulled it up herself. There's no system. I waited patiently while the worker kept helping people just coming through the door and not even helping me who was standing by her counter waiting for 20 minutes. Then she made snarky comments about me asking if they could match the price online. (Which by the way they do) I just wanted my contacts. And I left there completely depressed and wondering why I was treated like that. read more

Poor service and they do not honor their appointments. I arrived early for my 545pm appointment and the receptionist was busy talking to someone. I signed in and filled out some insurance paperwork. At 555 she finally acknowledged my existence and asked me to fill out medical history on a pad. The other person in the waiting area stated he had been there since 515pm and no one had finished checking him in. They close at 7 and I knew I would not get my exam so I left. The receptionist was very happy when I asked for my paperwork back and cancel. read more

I paid 300$ for 1 pair of glasses when it said it would be 2 for 79.99. They said same-day glasses it's been three weeks and still waiting I called now not going to be ready till June 6, WTH I can't see without my glasses! I am wearing my reading glasses to drive and work it's blurry and my head hurts really bad! Don't ever go here! Also, they didn't give me a real exam they did it virtually and he said they were estimating my eye sight how am I supposed to see out of an estimation? On top of that the chairs in the waiting room are so low to the floor it looks like they are for children not adults I am 52 years old with really bad knees it hurt so bad getting up off of those chairs I wanted to cry. Everytime I call to see what is taking so long I get a run around! also, when I call, I don't get the main office. I get some call center in God only knows where. It's absurd I will never ever come here again and waste my money on these people!! UPDATE: its been a month today still no glasses! Called them now they say June 14th WTF!! I HATE THIS PLACE!!! I NEED MY GLASSES!! read more

Virtual doctor, not sure I'm ok with that. Costs were way higher than the advertisement. lots of addons. no prices until your finished. cost me over $600.00 for my exam and 2 pairs of glasses. Not saying the value wasn't there just be aware the costs add up fast. Next time will price other options. UPDATE: Someone answered my review and ask me to call the number they listed. I did this but the people on the other end of the call I could not understand. I tried 2 times same problem. guess this is really buyer be ware. read more

0 stars all around, nobody knew what they was doing when they did the eye exam and unbelievably high priced glasses

Love love love Stanton! I walked in for an exam & was out in less than an hour with a new pair of glasses! Not to mention, they have amazing and affordable deals on exams and frames! Christy was super nice and quick and helped me find the best deal for my new glasses! Stanton is definitely the best!! read more

I am was excited about receiving my new glasses, and upon arrival, I was shocked to see that they were not the frame that I picked out. Their so called; designer eye wear is actually switched to a cheaper frame. I will never get another pair of glasses here. Make sure you take a picture of your frames, before and after you pick them out, or they will get you, just as that got me. Very unprofessional. read more

Stanton Optical - Supposed to be Nike frame. Not the same frame, that initially picked out. - Optometrists Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Shout out to Cathy, she does a great job. This is the second time I've dealt with her when I have been in the store, she's going to be my go to person. Earlier in the year, I was there to pick out glasses. She took a lot of time with me and made sure I got what I needed. I was there recently for a repair and again she took care of me. She does a great job. I sincerely appreciated her time and patience, as well as her friendliness. read more

I ran out of my contacts and went straight to Stanton to get more. The staff was amazing and it was my lucky day! They are having a protion and I got a big reduction of price for my year's worth of contacts. I'm delighted at the savings and the ability to see well. :) I highly recommend you go to Stanton if you need contacts, especially with this promotion. By the way, Stanton offers glasses, too. They always have the best deals on eyewear here! read more

Such a great experience ! I had got a snazzy pair of metal frame glasses with the anti glare a couple months ago. About a month later I started getting a rash on my temples. It was from the glasses. I'm thinking there must be nickel in your he frames that's causing the problem it was bad. I stopped by the Anderson store with the idea I needed new frames but wanted my expensive lens in them and wasn't sure if the service I was going to receive. I needed it today because I'm taking an exam for FAA PART 107 unmanned pilot license and didn't want my temples burning again. I met Teresa and explained my problem, she smiled and said I can help. I put my glasses on, she saw they were touching my skin and said give me a minute, she brought them back, adjusted to fit properly. Thanks for the great service and education on proper fit. read more

Customer service and honesty the worst I have ever had. Had a 9:15 appt 8-17-24. At 10:00 no Doctor. I told unprofessional CLERK I was leaving. She said Doctor was seving another location. Why the ____ did she make me waste my time. Time is valuable they owe me bunches. Don't go here. read more

if I could give 0 stars I would, awful place to go for an eye exam, extremely high price glasses

They did not have a doctor on site, so the visit was virtual. You can obviously check how well I see, but feel like some things could be missed. Things that an on site doctor could catch. The staff that was present was friendly and courteous. The person that helped me with my glasses made it a little better. Teresa was amazing and helped navigate my insurance and my choices. I still have trepidations about virtual care, but will make a decision to return next year when my exam is due. read more

The best experience! Michelle went out of her way to help me and the entire staff taught me how to put in the contacts I receive. literally the best experience I've had at an eye appointment! read more

I had an appointment today at 12:30PM. I got there 15 minutes early and sat down, because no person was visible to help me. 5 minutes later another customer came in, and all of a sudden a dark haired woman showed up to help her. The other customer explained that she knew she was early. She was checked in right away. I said to the receptionist that I had been waiting before her. She gave me a pad to complete my information. I did it in about 2 minutes and handed it back to her. She just sat it back on the pile of pads and went back to what she was doing, which didn't seem to be anything. A minute or two later, the other woman got called in. I reminded the receptionist that my appointment was at 12:30, and it was already after 12:30 at this point, and that the other woman had told her she was early. She said that they take people based on when their paperwork was completed, and she must have done that previously. I asked if they go by appointment times, she said no. The blonde woman working there heard me and came over and told me it should just be a few minutes. I sat back down. After almost 10 minutes, I looked up other optical stores in Anderson and called one. I then walked out and made the appointment with Eyemart Express, which has more stars in their yelp review than Stanton optical does. I went to Stanton because my husband had gone there without any issues, so I thought this could be our go to optical store since we are relatively new in town. Well that can never happen now, based on their rudeness and incompetence. I recommend you find any other optical place in Anderson than Stanton. read more

Cathy at Stanton was so helpful! Great deals & super friendly people. They also accept different insurances so if you need some glasses head there & you won't be disappointed:) get exam & everything done in same place! read more

Made an appointment to have eyes checked,showed up and was informed that the appointment has been changed to a video appointment. I'm just old fashioned and prefer to have my doctor hands on. I think they were very unprofessional and tricky to try to get me to use there services. It not only wasted my time and money to get there. It's got me asking if my doctor's will be at the visit. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy read more

Everyone is so sweet. They helped me find my perfect glasses and they all hyped the ones I settled with. They have a great environment and very sweet people. Definitely recommend. They have great prices and great service. read more

I received a free pair of sunglasses for referring a friend. Theresa helped me once again. She is the best at fitting glasses. What a pleasure working with her. Love this place! read more

The doctor and staff were so helpful and personable.highly recommend them. The doctor explained everything as we were going through the eye exam. He took the time to answer questions that I had. Ithe doctor made me feel like i was talking to a friend. The staff helped me figure out the best way to use my insurance to save me money on my contacts and 2 pairs of prescription bifocal glasses. They explained all my options for my contacts and my glasses. They even helped me figure out the best fit and style frames looked the best got me. read more

Stanton Optical is a fraud. They have someone in another country answer their phone and they schedule you for an appointment. Then the actual office calls you back and says that time is actually not available so they schedule you for a remote visit, but don't tell you to come in. I asked how a remote visit worked and they never said anything about coming in. Only said that the exam would be remote. I'd never heard of a remote eye appointment and when they said it is done all of the time and South Carolina is one of the last states to implement this as an option, blah, blah so I agreed. When the appointment time came and went, I called the office to find out when they would contact me and she said you have to come in. Stephanie, in the Stanton Optical Office in Anderson, SC was very glib and mocking. Beware, they are not professional at all. Something as important as your eyes, you would really want professionals to take care of that for you. Run, don't walk away from Stanton Optical. read more

The staff was very friendly and helpful! The whole process was seamless from eye exam to choosing frame style to purchase of products.

I drove for an hour to get here. After eye exam, I find out their $59.95 deal is misleading. The eye exam is $45, which is taken off the price of whatever glasses you pick. And the deal only overs frames they don't hold in house, so you have to go back in ten days for pick up! So I opt to pay more to get them that day. They tell me thirty minutes. I go have lunch and drop off my phone for a new battery. When I try on my new glasses, I can't see! Back to their optometrist. Supposedly another half hour to fix. I go get my nails done and come back over an hour later and they haven't started! I get my glasses. They aren't perfect but at least I can read with them. They use false advertising and their O.D. Needs some more education. Their $60 deal cost me $100 and four hours (not counting time!) read more

I cannot recommend this place enough- The staff here are incredible. Kathy went above and beyond to make sure I could be seen. The doctor did a great job and found me a GREAT brand of contacts for a great price. I really recommend this place if you are looking for an eye doctor. Amazing, caring service with flexible hours and fast care! read more

Alexandra Reynolds helped me with my insurance to get a very nice pair of safety glasses for work. She explained what I could and could not add to the safety glasses and explained in very good detail how my insurance covered what I needed. I hate to see her leave but hope her the very best in her new endeavors. read more

Horrible horrible-you're better off ordering glasses through WISH -seriously spent over $1200 on 3 pair glasses including my safety glasses for work. I even bought the insurance that I definitely needed! However they squirmed out of that too! Needless to say within 6 months I had no useable glasses and all they had to offer was a "discount" if I ordered new pairs because "of course" even the frames were no longer available. read more

The people that work at this store are good, however I picked my glasses up and within 2 weeks the lens fell out so I took them back and they were great took them and put the lens back in then 2 days later they fell out again so I took them back again and they let me exchange them for another pair. They sent that pair to be prepared for me and I had to wait 6plus weeks to get my glasses back and when I got them the employee just gave them to me snd said thank you and walked away. I will never go to Stratton again my new glasses don't have the dark tent I paid for with the first ones and they said I'd have to pay again to get it done to my new ones. I don't recommend that anyone use them if you want good product as it's not just the people that work there but the products you receive from them also. read more

Cool new place in the convenience of Anderson. If you're from the upstate, you know how nice it is to skip Greenville sometimes. I've been a LensCrafters customer for over 15 years... no more. For the price I was paying for one pair of glasses and 6 months of contacts at LensCrafters, I got 2 pairs of glasses and year of contacts at Stanton. The staff was professional and personable. AND my glasses were ready in less than an hour! Thank you, Stanton! read more

Stanton Optical - Christmas for my eyes! - Optometrists Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

Wonderful! My experience with Stanton was simple great.. the staff was very helpful, friendly and complete . I was truly surprised that they got it right the first time based on past experiences with other places. I tell everyone about it and recommend them highly. If I had known they would do such a wonderful job getting my glasses right , I would have gotten the second pair. read more

Sharanda, Eric, really everyone at Stanton Optical was very helpful. They really do a great job of taking care of all aspects of eye glass purchase from prescription services to selection. The entire staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. More importantly if they don't know they make every effort to find out. And best of all... I LOVE MY NEW GLASSES!!! read more

Stanton recently opened in Anderson so I scheduled and appointment to have my eyes examined. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional from the techs to the optometrist. The selection of frames that were 2 for $99 were extremely limited. Eric helped me find two pair that were $29 each. These were buy one get one free. Despite being short staffed due to the weather Eric helped me from start to finish. I haven't received my glasses yet but I definitely recommend them. read more

This place is NOT recommended. I went there, had exam, picked out frames. They don't tell you the lens prices are super expensive-mine ended up being almost $800. They or their lab messed up the prescription 3x, then told me to go to another place and bring them the Rx. It took me a year to do that due to Covid stuff, and when I took it to them, they said it had been too long...no glasses and $800 in the hole!!! read more

Same day appointment, Great! Even got a call to come in earlier, Awesome! Was lost, an Assistant guided me, Great! Walked in, got a warm greeting, recognized Teresa, a former worker of Wal-Mart whom I liked. The staff was friendly, Jim the Optometrist was personable and professional. My only complaint is the selection of frames. I have different eyes, also require bi-focals. I didn't qualify for the 2 for $59, or the 2 for $99. Teresa was able to assist me. I was also able to use my $25 coupon. When the smoke cleared, my glasses costs me with insurance, $217. I'm also able to bring my expensive frames and get lenses for under $200. If they can get better frames and swap them with those cheap, useless frames, that would be a Big Plus!!!. It wasn't exactly the bait & switch but it sucked I could not get the 2 glasses deal. Overall the place served its purpose and I got glasses for a hell of a lot less than Wal-Mart or Clemson Eye, the latter being more expensive than NY. Makes me think the prices are a result of the (IPTAY)!!! read more

went for eye exam and to buy glasses. I thought the prices where overpriced for glasses so decided to pass it by but the saleswoman would not have it. It got to the point where she was just flat out rude and uncalled for. I Should not have to say no thanks more then twice..then get rude and try to rush me to pay for exam when my exam wasnt even finish yet!. the eye doctor gave me expensive contact prescription and when i asked for a cheaper brand he would not give me a cheaper brand. is it not my eyes? i will not go back here. read more
