First time here. After researching I came across this location. You are first refer to eye doctor next door. Once you have prescription you walk to Visionworks and browse around. As soon as a representative is available they come to you and help you out. Laura was phenomenal, too the time to help us choose frames as well as explained how our insurance worked and what was covered. The store has lots of already sales going on for which Laura explained and we ended up going for another pair. Place was clean. Staff: friendly, helpful and knowledgeable Parking: lots read more

Visionworks - Optometrists Near Me - Houston, Texas

Customer service is top tier, everyone is knowledgeable and super helpful. It was first time getting reading glasses . However i feel with insurance i spent way too much. It's pretty pricey here. So people do your research before selecting an eyewear company. I got suckered into paying way over $600 for some basic reading glasses and that's with really good insurance. I'm sure the sales lady got a good commission off my sale lol. read more

I only had my glasses FOR four months however I did not get the warranty, that was a grave mistake. The coating on my lenses' started peel and hair line cracks appeared and there is no factory warranty in place, DO NOT BUY HERE RUN! RUN! TO A BETTER PLACE or just get the warranty. read more

We have been going here for about 8 years. They are very helpful and have lots of great quality frames to choose from. They also continue to support you after the sale with free adjustments, cleaning and minor repairs The staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Worst worst worst experience! I did not feel comfortable getting permanent glasses when I know the prescription is incorrect so I called to cancel the order after I got home and found my old prescription. They weren't supposed to close for about 15 or so minutes, but no one ever answered. When I called back the next day, the woman who answered the phone gave me an attitude the entire time. She finally said she "refunded" the transaction after interrogating me for 10 minutes why I wanted to cancel the order. Two hours later, I received a text from the store saying my order was received and they were making the glasses. I immediately call back and asked her why she didn't cancel the order. She said she did, but couldn't explain why I received a text saying she sent it in after it was canceled (I find out later why she was acting shady about it). Almost a week later, the money for the frames and lenses (I have never had to pay over my benefit amount... just insane that they charge so much more- glasses and lenses came out to almost $600) was refunded back to my credit card. Three weeks later, I go online to order contacts. I thought that would give the system ample time for the use of the insurance benefits to return from not buying the glasses. The system still said I used all of my benefits for the year. So the person who "refunded the frames" ended up pushing the order through when we got off the phone to keep my insurance benefits. Super shady business practices. That is on top of the sad selection of frames they had. Very limited color selection and it seemed like all of the rejected frame shapes end up there. You find much better selections online- colors, shapes styles... If you want to feel comfortable using your insurance benefits without getting ripped off, don't go into a store- call the customer service number. You live and you learn. read more

Don't bother coming without your prescription on you. I walked in at 5:40 pm today wanting to browse the frame selection. A blonde female employee immediately called out from afar and asked if I had a prescription with me. I said no. She said if you don't have the prescription you can't shop. I asked, could I just look around? She said yes as long as I don't touch anything because then she'd have to sanitize. I recognize I came in close to closing but was shocked how unwelcoming the staff was. I had only intended to do a quick walkthrough to see if they had what I was looking for which would take at most 2 minutes. As I was leaving, she asked if I saw anything. I said no. Even if I had seen something, I would not even consider buying it here and supporting this kind of business. Thinking through this, she didn't want to have to exert any effort into someone who she deemed was not going to buy same day. In response, I think the employee or store policies (if this was a store policy) should consider that: 1. Just because I don't have a prescription on me doesn't mean I'm not going to buy. A pair of glasses is a very personal item and the store I would buy from would be gracious in letting me figure out my own style especially for my first pair. It becomes part of your identity as the first thing people see on your face. It may take a few visits for me to commit. 2. There are people who buy fashion frames with no prescription. 3. I was buying a pair for the blue light filter, and do not require a prescription. This is why I didn't carry it on me. 4. Being dismissed and banned from touching any glasses guarantees that I will not patronize the store again and will discourage my friends and family from going. read more

Very surprised by VisionWorks today. Not helpful at all! If I could give them No Stars, I would. My Husband broke his frames and they stated they could not do anything without a new prescription because his prescription was over 2 years old. I wanted to buy new frames and they would have to make new glass to put in them until we could get into his ophthalmologist for a new Prescription. They then tell me about a law that says you cannot have new glasses made with a prescription that is over 2 years old. What??? \? We were there in 2022 so the prescription must be just over 2 years old. Yes, he does need to have his eyes checked, but we needed something temporary and we are willing to pay for it, realizing this is more expensive and we may be paying double if his prescription has changed. No help at all from VisionWorks. In this instance a law like this shouldn't apply. My husband is on a rollator and no longer drives. He uses his glasses to watch TV only. The girl at the front desk refused to help in any way. I talked to the manager and he did not even offer to try and glue the glass in the frames as a temporary fix. We have dealt with the VisionWorks on Yale in Houston for a number of years. We will not be back. Maybe this is a ploy by VisionWorks to make you see the optometrist next door because that is the only one you can get into on short notice. We go to ophthalmologists, not optometrists. On another note, what do people do that do not have $700 to spend on new glasses, even when they are on sale? It will now take at least 4 weeks to see my husband's ophthalmologist for a new prescription, and maybe his prescription will not have changed much at all in the last 2 years. Couldn't VisionWorks have helped with a temporary measure? No offer of help at all. :-( How about offering to glue the glass in the frames, just as a temporary measure? Time to find a company that cares about customers and their problems. The Yale location does not care. And I suspect their other locations will be the same. read more

To whoever the lady was that pickup the phone on 08/18/2022 between 4:15 pm and 4:20 pm needs to redo her customer service training. Simply asking for the status on my glasses firs thing she said "have you received a text message" said no then she said they're not. Like this order was place on July 31st its been almost 17 days since this order has been placed so yes my order is delayed so as a customer who was advised on August 10 then changed to august 14 I would want to know where my glasses are at. The guy who placed my order though 10/10 he was pretty cool and helped me through the lenses they provided read more

Laura G at this location was amazing. She help me pick out some good sunglasses and regular glasses + she was able to get me an amazing deal. Go see Laura G at this location. You won't be disappointed! read more

Laura helped me today. I was in last week and picked out some frames and came in today to order them after receiving my prescription. She explained the benefits that were available to me. Because I used it on contact lenses, my insurance didn't cover glasses. She was so kind and found me some discounts and I am super happy. Thanks for going the extra mile in making me leave satisfied. I have been going here for years and have been helped by other people and have been satisfied with everyones service. read more

I went here today for a nose cushion repair on some glasses that were a few yrs old, but purchased here. The repair was performed better than expected with cheerfulness and no charge. The service experience was much better than I had expected. Good job! read more

Just spent over $400 for glasses i had to tell them to check to see if the fit right. Adjusted nose pads without even looking at them on my face. Had thumb print on them Bad Customer Service WONT GO BACK!!! read more

I've been on hold for over 15 minutes. Why would I give my business to a company that can't manage to pick up the phone to answer a simple question!? Very disappointing. read more

This was a great experience for me and my wife. We each got two pairs of glasses for a little more than we had paid for one at a previous location. The safety protocols were excellent. Immediately upon entering we were screened for fever and required to sanitize our hands. Appointments we're required so there were limited customers in the business. Andrea helped us and couldn't have been better. We will use this location again in the future. read more

I hate Visionworks!!! The "rules" set forth, by management are completely stupid (STUPID)! They basically won't let you shop there, provide sing-songy answers of what you cannot do and what they cannot do!! I wanted to shop for frames. Nobody is in the store. She sent me away as I didn't have my prescription. I will never go to VisionWorks again and strongly suggest you don't either. They've proven to be a waste of time, every time I've tried to get glasses from them!! read more

To whom it may concern if I could give it zero stars, I would I only came here because of my insurance didn't even have my glasses for 4 months and they broke and they had the nerve to say I broke them really I'm 36 years old I wouldn't manhandle my own glasses just a break them dude they're expansive, do I look like I have money to throw away and the lady who's heavyset has a rude ass attitude if you don't wanna work, don't go to work! This location is trash I wouldn't even waste time coming here! read more

Yesterday, my mom and I visited this place for the first time and it was the best experience. Melissa was the only person who greeted us with a huge smile explained to us that her system was down, but for us to look around and check in with her to see if the insurance system was back up. As we had identified the frames we needed, she did let us know that the system was backup and she would be able to assist us further. As my mother was providing her eye prescription paperwork, Melissa went off and explained every detail related to the type of lenses needed and shared examples and we left buying a set of glasses and also using my moms old frames to be placed with the appropriate lenses she needs. I give more than 100% best customer service and hope that Melissa is recognized by her upper management as she is a true example of having patience, knows her stuff, and makes you feel successful. Thank you, Melissa and Visionworks for a job well done. read more

Unfriendly. They act put-out if I come in for an adjustment. The only reason they got my business is because VSP forced me to. And you are stuck with whatever tiny selection of frames they have in the store because they won't order any other frames--even a different color of what they have in stock. Glasses are expensive. I should be able to get a reasonable version of what I want. read more

Wide selection of high quality frames with reasonable prices. Convenient location. Melissa is super helpful and knowledgeable. Great experience and it's the second time I've gotten glasses from them. read more

I been coming here for 5yrs now. The overall customer experience is superb. Melissa and her team are always willing to obtain 100% customer satisfaction . read more

Ok, I'm in the parking lot of this place, and I had to write a review right away because I'm incredibly pleased with this encounter. Immediately upon stepping into the store, Alex leaped up from his desk to assist me. I needed adjustments for my frames because it kept sliding off of my face, and I had visited two other stores who would not adjust them! Liability or some bull shit! Lol, no, but I get it. I think he was a noob, because he had asked his supervisor to help, who was also incredibly friendly, and in less than 2 minutes, my frames were complete! My goodness, I feel like a completely new woman!! I literally saw the world differently... There were terrible reviews, so I was skeptical, but hiccups happen. As long as they provide friendly, quality service, what more can you really ask for? Btw, gratis! I highly recommend this place! read more

I had my new prescription and an old pair of Visionworks glasses with me when I went to the Yale Street store. I ordered new lenses (non-glare, progressive, and transitions) for a little over $300. It seemed pricey but I had been pleased with my experience and the quality of the product I purchased at another store two years ago. The new glasses were promised in 10 days or less. A little over a week later I received a call that my glasses would be delayed because someone had cracked a lens when they tried to put it into the frame. Another week and a half passed and I received another call that they were ready. I picked them up and brought them home (I was wearing my contacts at the time) only to notice when I put them on later that both lenses had several horizontal wavy lines across them. I returned the glasses and was told that the machine that makes them had put "too much pressure" on the lenses and they would have to be redone. Fast forward another week and a half and my glasses were ready for the third time, and they were fine. On the plus side, the staff was unfailingly courteous. On the minus side, they were not terribly concerned. I thought they might offer me a price reduction or even a percent/discount coupon for a future purchase to get me to come back, but no. All in all I think I'll take my business elsewhere next year. read more

A great place to get a pair of glasses. A good selection of frames to choose from. The service here is what keeps me coming back. Melissa has helped me and my partner pick appropriate frames to match our lens script for years now. She takes the time to make sure you get the best frames for your face shape and coloration and budget. Alex has also been tremendously helpful as well. And every time I sleep in my glasses and and mess up my stems, the nice folks at Visionworks help make them right again. read more

I was the only customer when I came in. Told the receptionist I had a pair of glasses from an online retailer but could they adjust them for a fee. She said yes and sent me to a guy who said they didn't do adjustments on plastic frames. Why not? We'd get in trouble if we broke them. Trouble from who? I'm waiving liability and offering to pay. Still nothing. Not saying they should do whatever I ask. Just be straight w me. If they're lying about one small thing what's gonna happen w a big thing? read more

Service is always excellent at this location!! I've gotten my glasses here for years now and I will continue to do so! :)

This team of experts are so friendly & knowledgable!! They remember me each time I come in. I've been returning to this location for 3+ years because of Joey! He always has a smile on his face & goes the extra mile! read more

Staff isn't too friendly and barely knowledgeable. Fortunately as a lifelong glasses and contacts girl I was pretty much able to take care of things myself. Please watch out for there for 10 deals has they really aren't but I got myself a great pair of designer frames for a price I was happy with no thanks to them but I don't mind doing the work but it's worth it because I look great read more

I've been buying my contacts from Visionworks for a few years now and there's a reason that I keep coming back. I received fantastic service today with Joey. He went above and beyond what was expected of him. It's great to know there are companies and employees who are still putting the customer first and giving excellent customer service. read more

This is my go to place when planning and ordering glasses. I've been coming here for several years because of the great service I've always received. The staff is always helpful, willing to advice you on what looks good, and work with you to figure out the best way to use your insurance. Additionally, the service has been always very timely. When they say it's going to take 10 days, expect to have your glasses in 10 days. I am going to explore their service with contacts this month. You should check this place out and talk to the staff there, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went to Visionworks on Yale in Houston recently to fill a new eyeglass prescription and got a wonderful price deal and expert service on 2 new pairs of eyeglasses! They had a very large selection of frames to choose from and the attendant who assisted me gave me excellent service and helped me understand what my insurance would cover! Extremely pleased with the quality of the product and the high level of customer service! I Highly recommend Visionworks! read more

Alex was a great help to me. Everyone at the store was very friendly. And helped me picked out the right glasses for me!

It's rare that I leave a bad review. The only reason for 2 stars and not 1 is due to the location. However my experience here hasn't been pleasant. I went next door for my annual eye appointment. The doctor was friendly and very accommodating to me and my budget. Even with insurance, most folks know that anything with optometry is going to be pricey. When I went to Visionworks, located next door, I was greeted kindly and immediately by a female sales associate. I gave her my script and she told me they were running a special where you can get two pairs of glasses for half price. What she did not mention is this did not include the cost of lenses, which were full price. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bothered to look. I find a pair of glasses I liked, thinking I'd only spend about $50 to $100 bucks, she tells me it would be $150 and that doesn't include the price of contacts, which she tried to get me to purchase the year plan because of the rebate, which would have made my total price over $500. Maybe some can afford that, but it wasn't within my budget. I took the cheap option, which made the sales associate quite annoyed as she was no longer the friendly welcoming person upon my visit and instead an annoyed one that didn't fall for her sale gimmick. Fast forward to today when I go to pick up my contacts. Only 2 people working, with one assisting 2 customers at once and the other trying to sell another soul the same sales gimmick. I left after 5 minutes after seeing I was going to be waiting awhile. Once I pick up my contacts, I won't be returning here and everyone else should be aware of their sales gimmicks. read more

Bad lenses quality. Very bad customer service and not helpful. If the glasses were fine there's no problem. If there's any qualitu issues, the staff will be very dismissive and not willing to fix it. read more

Helpful and friendly staff. Great service. Took the time to explain everything to make a quality decision. Love my specs.

I've been to the Highland Village location several times, but wanted to try this location since it's close to my house. I took my son for new glasses today, and had an excellent experience. The ladies were so pleasant and helpful! Zulema is great, ask for her. My son had his new glasses on an hour later & they are perfect. Can't wait to go back for my own new pair! read more

The employees that I spoke to about the "promotions" gave different prices. When asked to explain the prices, they conferred in the back room, then first pulled out a sheet of prices that had nothing to with the existing promotion (as an example). Then the numbers added up to a new higher price. Then they found the "correct" price sheet where the prices were even higher than the first two quotes. After this fourth iteration of numbers, I was done. It seemed like they just come up with whatever numbers they feel like at the time. Either very shady or incompetent. read more

I love this place wonderful friendly people ready to help. I found the right pair of glasses and they adjusted them for FREE!! Wonderful customer service. If you need a pair of glasses go see them read more
