In 2028 my wife I and each bought one pair of frames, lenses, and clip-on sunglasses from the store…read morein Forest Acres, and then a couple of years later we updated the lenses. Our first sets of frames and lenses were fine, even though my clip-ons were too difficult to put on while driving. The service was fine. However, when I updated my lenses, I got the lousiest lenses I've ever bought. The expensive coating began to scratch and peel within 4 or 5 months. This was during the pandemic, so I didn't really have any recourse. I'll not buy light-changing lenses ever again. Today my wife went in for a replacement of her magnetic clip-ons and they told her they had no record of her buying them there. We haven't shopped for glasses anywhere else since 2018. They suggested my wife forgot that she bought them where we get our exams. It was all on my wife, not on the store. We failed as customers. The clerk was very pleasant and responsive, but the manager couldn't have been less interested. She wasn't curt; she just didn't care. We'll not be going back.

I'm not taking it down entirely because they couldn't explain why their prescription was so different from Lenscrafters. At first, they tried to say LensCrafters doesn't have real eye doctors but I showed him that an OD checked my vision. So, while I'm happy I got a refund, I'm not happy with having no good explanation for the difference.

I have been wearing contacts and glasses since I was a teenager. That being said, yearly eye exams…read morehave always been something that I have had to do. This was my first visit to America's Best - the name definitely doesn't match the experience. This is like the bus depot of eye exam places. Nothing about this place is nice. My day started by checking in with the front desk for my appointment, and this very disorganized lady acted like I was speaking Swahili. I had to repeat my appointment time 3 times, and follow her to two different computers. I then sat on a nasty metal bench in a bus depot style waiting area, then got put through a few automated tests in a bare room with someone that didn't seem very competent. I then went back out to the bus depot waiting area, and the doctor called me into a room. He didn't even dilate my eyes - despite me being prepared and accustomed to that procedure. This was a big red flag to me. Back to the bus depot waiting area, I then got called to the optical store area for a pretty heavy sales pitch from the eyeglass salesman. It was very clear he had a quota to hit, and saw me as his next target. I ultimately ended up buying glasses from him, but it was probably the heaviest sales pitch I've ever received for something so necessary. The funny thing about all of this is that I never saw anyone wash their hands, or introduce themselves. This place makes money by moving as many people as possible through the system. Overall, I will not be back to America's Best in the future. There are much better and nicer offices in Columbia.

I made an appointment which they later rescheduled but getting in on a weekend is always hard task…read moreso ‍. I was checked and had an appointment with the ophthalmologist who told me I had the option for a small prescription as I still have 20/20 vision. Then the sales lady pressured me into getting some glasses that I was assured would be free and covered through my insurance, where they then proceeded to charge me over $400. Needless to say I was unimpressed with their tactics. I did opt for a cheaper lens made out of like plexiglass or something. Still costed me over hundred dollars out-of-pocket. Also, the sales associate who checked me out, did nothing but talk bad about working for LensCrafters the entire time and insisted I hook her up with a work from home position like I have. Was very unprofessional. Right after I left I called to just cancel the order because the glasses were optional and not really needed and they basically said no after an extended hold. So I'm sure that if you go they will you over sell you on something you don't actually need and you'll leave regretting ever going.
