Don't waste your time booking appointments at this location. I can see why there were so many appointments available! This location provides awful customer service. read more

This store is the worst store ever. This is the second time I have attempted to use this store. The last time was over three years ago. The first time they made a set of bifocals that did not even work properly. They went unused and I ended up going to America's Best to get my glasses. Fast forward to this job and new insurance that uses this company. The same Tinley Park store. The doctor stated my distance did not change much and I do not really need distance glasses. I said yeah, I am here for glasses to use while at the desk using a computer. This appt was 6/29/2024. Fast forward until today- 1 month later and what did I receive but distance glasses. Talking to the lady at the desk was like talking to a script. We can reschedule you to have your eyes re-reviewed. Did you not do a comprehensive test to show what my script would be for reading glasses? Well, she doesn't know she can't look it up and tell. She wanted me to take the glasses with me. Why am I taking glasses with me that is not the correct product? Answer- so that doctor can see them when you come back. I asked again, why would I take a pair of glasses with me if I cannot use them? You did not call me to come pick them up; put them back and hold them until I come back. The worst customer service- so now I had to reschedule for another week - later in the afternoon so that this process can take what? Another month. I want my money back. And don't bother telling me to go to customerservice@visionworks.com because the damn site will not let me provide my review. You click on it and nothing. Better yet- was there not a complete eye examination done to the point where I should not have to get my eyes checked again? Should there not be a notations on my file for all of my eye Rx's read more

This location treated me nicely and I am thoroughly happy with my glasses. The frames were a reasonable pricy but not cheap. The lenses, though, cost an arm and a leg (progressive). read more

Stay away from vision works Tinley Park. I went to Tinley Park vision works. I saw a male chauvinist doctor who "does not listen." I had a Pair of prescription glasses which were 5 years old. The staff copied the prescription and gave it to the male chauvinist doctor. He prescribe the same prescription. I told him that "I could not see" out of that prescription, he told me I had dry eyes And to use eye drops. I wanted contact lenses which were the wrong prescription ...I came back for a re- exam. He told me the same thing again and to wait 30 days and come back to see him ..."I cannot see." The only reason I went to vision works is because of my insurance. I want you to know that I found my examination from another eye care facility clinic. "Not vision works" and the prescription is quite different. read more

This place still sucks and I would avoid it like the plague. No one on their critical care or customer service even remotely tried to apologize. If you want puss poor eyecare go here. If your eyes well being is sacrificed and you do not care. Go here. If you want good quality eyecare. Go somewhere else. This would be a zero if I could. read more

This location is absolutely terrible. Why I tried to schedule another appointment here after being treated rudely and constantly up sold for everything I don't know. Today I had an appointment where I was going to be running about 15 minutes late due to an accident on the highway nearby. I called and was told since I was outside of their 10 minute window my appointment was canceled. I left work early today drove 35 miles to get to the appointment was 1 mile away and was told they could not wait for me. I would never recommend this location to anyone ever. read more

See all

The 100 day guarantee is NO guarantee at all. They sold me a defective frame where one of the nose-guards broke off so easily, and they charged me $80 for a new frame. This after telling me that the 100 day guarantee was only good if I was unhappy with the 1st frame. I told them "of course I was unhappy with the 1st frame," but they still would not stand behind their guarantee. Their sales pitches are all lies too, as when you try to buy 2 pairs for the price of one, it is all double talk and lies by typical corporate greed and 'screw" the consumer. Compare it to buying a car from a dishonest salesmen, the guarantees and sales from Visionworks are all lies to put more money in the billionaire corporate owners pickets. You can get glasses for 1/5 of Visionworks prices by ordering your glasses from online glass/vision companies or 1/10th the price from India/China vision companies. The same China frames as the ones sold at Visionworks, who mark these China/India frames by as much as 7-800 per cent. read more

Jenny saved the day with a early morning frase swap!

I had a very good experience at Visionworks Brookside Marketplace in Tinley Park. Emily was very helpful in assisting me with choosing my glasses, she took time with me and was very thorough. I would definitely recommend asking for her if you need guidance with glasses. Also I used my vision insurance along with using the funds in my HSA which was great idea and it saved me on majority of the cost to purchase my eye glasses and sunglasses. I would recommend utilizing the funds you may have with vision insurance and your HSA funds. My out-of-pocket cost for both was very minimal. :-) Sincerely, KA read more

Very poor customer service today. We have been going here for years. Our Optometrist left last year (I wonder why) so we went to his new place to see him. Walked in with a prescription from him and was told "get behind the line, do you have an appointment, what are you here for"? Three workers in the store and no customers... Not coming back!!! read more

I was in town for my nephew's graduation. Unfortunately I tore my right contact lenses and I neglected to bring replacements. Fortunately I was able to make an appointment the same day at Visionworks! I was examined by Dr. Opferman whom I found to be very competent and professional. Dr. O has a warm and welcoming personality.We even had a conversation on Peruvian food! Fortunately they had my contact lens in stock and I was able to see my nephew graduate. Thank you Dr. O and Visionworks for saving the day! read more

Haven't picked up my glasses yet, but I wanted to post my review of the service I received working with Jenna. A breath of fresh air. Jenna knows her products and is more than willing to answer any question, give advice and help her customer come to the correct decision. No high pressure sales pitch, no pushing products only ordering exactly what I asked for. Jenna worked extremely well with both my wife and I. Spoke too soon. Left town with my glasses and they are way off. Can't see if I look straight through lenses. Have to look down the glasses. Disappointing because we are on vacation and I will now have to fight with them over the 30 day return policy. read more

Not sure why the bad reviews for this location. I have never had a bad visit here. Would like to commend the staff this morning for more excellent service. The screw fell out of my 11year old's glasses (again) and we drove over to see if we could get them replaced or repaired. This happened once before and they had replaced they screw, but the glasses were looking a bit worn for wear. The customer service lady was able to quickly repair them at no charge and saved me $$$ by not having to buy a new set of frames. Not only was the screw replaced, but she also adjusted something and cleaned them. They looked like brand new. Will be back when the new insurance cycle resets for her next pair of glasses I am sure. read more

I took my grandson to the location in Tinley Park, IL. The doctor was excellent, very friendly explained to him about his vision and came out and talk to me as well. I could not have asked for better service. Then he choose contact lens since he plays sports. He did the practice turn on and so they were ordered for him on 9/26. I had not heard from this location, so three plus weeks later I called the location to see what the heck was the hold up. The young lady told me that they had not come in yet. I asked her why, what is taking so long. When I have ordered glasses or contacts from other locations less than a week I get a call for pick up. After hearing my vent the young lady asked can she call me back after some research. About three hours later she calls me back and states that she has located them that they were there she just didn't know where they were located, not in the location as other orders. So you telling me my grandson contacts came in you don't know when and why I didn't get a call for pick up. They were received and put up some place different then the rest of the orders. So if I hadn't called today 10/17 I still would not know nothing. This is the worse customer service I have ever received from a vision works location. read more

AWFUL! Don't waste your time & money!! Wrong contacts received & customer service is a total joke!! I returned the box of incorrect contact lenses only to find out they never ordered my new ones! Apparently, I need to "describe" the person I returned them to!!! This has been going on since January 31 & still no contacts! FURIOUS!!! read more

Employees are not helpful at all. Whoever is the girl not women who answers the phone in the afternoon has no communication skills, is very rude and dismissive especially when you go to visionworks and she's there. This location needs to change management and receptionist. The only helpful employee that filled my son's order was a women named Maryanne. I called corporate on this Tinley park location. My family and I will take our business to another location. read more

I had a wonderful experience at the Visionworks in Tinley Park. Dr. Opferman was so friendly and professional as was everyone else. They were fabulous. I highly recommend this place. Great Job!!! read more

Great place! Received excellent eye exam, which found a small problem I need to get fixed. Bought one pair of glasses and got a pair of dun glasses free. Everyone was friendly and professional. Go, don't bother with those bad reviews. Unhappy people always post! read more

I came to this visionworks despite the reviews I've seen on yelp...which are all horrible. I worked with Sarah when i came in for an eye exam. I went in a bit scared thinking i would be treated terribly but she was extremely nice. We even chatted a bit about the weather and how we enjoy going to the water park. She cleaned up the machinery as i watched her, before putting my face up against them for testing. I appreciate that. I got in to take my eye exam within 5 minutes of filling out paperwork. I paid $19 for the exam. When i didn't see glasses that i liked, no one pushed me into paying for anything i didn't need. The doctor was polite and the exam was nothing out of the ordinary. I cant give a rating based on the actual frames since i didn't buy them from here. One thing I didn't like: they are listed on the care credit site but not set up for it? (Seems like a care credit issue) i was told they weren't sure why they are on there when they don't have the capability yet. read more

When will I learn not to come here. My last 4 visits (2 for me & 2 for my daughter) have been absolute disasters. Staff is RUDE. They are more interested in increasing their average sale than what the customer needs or wants. If you don't want their extras(that they claim you must have)-they become argumentative. I agree with earlier posts that customers are an inconvenience. I can't believe any of the staff remains. I will look for a different location. DON'T GO HERE!!! They don't deserve mine or anyone else's business read more

The first time I visited the store (a Monday), the 2 sales persons were too busy talking to each other and took forever to come sit with us. Then, they weren't able to put my insurance through properly. I was told that they would call me back the next day. I called back myself twice on Wednesday and again on Thursday when I didn't hear back. A different sales person told me they had no idea what the problem was, had to explain the entire thing all over again. They told us to come back to tje store to give prescription and pupil measurements and then it should be sorted. I went back to the store on Friday and they weren't able to finish my transaction again due to technical issues. Again they said they would call me the next day to confirm. I finally got a call back on Sunday afternoon to confirm my order. It took an entire week to just order a pair of glasses! I'm never coming back here and would not recommend to anyone. read more

I have been going to this location for about 3 years since Dr. Opferman moved from the Chicago Heights location to Tinley Park. I have nothing but good experiences every time I go. Dr. Opferman is friendly and knowledgeable and takes the time to go through any questions I have. When I decided to make the switch from long-term contact lenses to daily-wear lenses, Dr. Opferman was able to offer lenses that would fit my needs and made the process a breeze for me. The staff at this location have always been friendly and help walk me through what my insurance benefits include. I highly recommend Dr. Opferman and this location! read more

Worst service ever. Tried to make us pay for optional extended testing without even asking us. No one knew what they were doing. Went to pick up glasses per the email and was treated extremely rudely by the "manager" because the e-mail stated to come and get them but he yelled at us saying we needed an appointment. No one ever said we needed an appointment for pickup and the e-mail they sent said to come get them. Extremely rude, yelling at customer and then rushed at me like he was going to attack me but when he saw I wasn't moving he side stepped me at the last minute and ran to the door where he yelled for us to leave. We will never go there again. read more

I visited this Visionworks location to order glasses from an exam that was done by another eye doctor. The ladies working at this location were very helpful, patient, friendly, and kind. We weren't able to take care of what I needed that day (no fault of theirs) and they finished the transfer and followed up with me the next day. It was a pleasure working with them and a appreciated their follow up and working with me to get the best deal possible. read more

Had no desire to assist me. Said I should go to the Visionworks where I purchased. Said they didn't have the frames and could not get them. And it was covered under my vision plans warranty! Too bad read more

It's been two years but after going to a real Eye Doctor I had to rate this place and hope it will get better. The first two I had gone there the Eye Doctor was the best he cared about my eyes. He told me all the things I needed to know and made sure I got the glasses I needed. Not sure what happened to him but that was the turn to this place. Last time I had gone there they lost my records, had a new person checking my eyes, and the eye doctor was less then happy I was there bugging her. I know I had some special needs on my eyes, she did not address them. Even when I asked her! When I got my glasses they were over $100 and that was after insurance. I didn't even change my insurance and the eye place I had gone too was only $11. Why? I got the same stuff from Visionworks. Thanks to the poor service I've found a better place that is nice and fair. read more

I came here without seeing the reviews. I have been here 3 times to adjust a new prescription. The service and speed have been great. I see Dr. Opferman who is very, very patient. read more

Second time here and it keeps getting worse. We have a family of 4 kids and were told to come in early to get paperwork out of the way. When we showed up they wouldn't open the door and said we had to wait outside till they open. When told them we were told to come in early the lady told us that she was worried about robberies and she would not open the doors till 12:00.... 15 min later! The service is very slow, they're understaffed and very rude! I wish there was a 0 star! 1 star is too much for this place. read more

I recently visited this Vision Works location with my two daughters. I was very impressed from start to finish. Dr. Sblendorio was great explaining the issues he found after the eye exams. The highlight of the visit was Kenneth S., who walked us through the process of explaining our options for ordering, what features were important for my daughters' new glasses and pricing. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, but he kept us laughing and we actually had a good time during our visit! read more

Never ever waste your time or money here! It has been a year & still no solution. I have contacted them several times with no resolution. Wrong frames, I ordered 3 different frames & 2 out of 3 were correct &wrong prescription on all 3. One of the associates checked & admitted that he did indeed submit the wrong prescription & the wrong number for the frame I choose. This is after the doctor checked & said the prescription was correct. I have since returned 4 times to get this resolved with no luck. I have 3 pairs of glasses that I have wasted my money on & cannot wear along with the many, many hours in that horrible place trying to get this resolved. I would never recommend Vison Works & wish I could give negative stars on this review. read more

I would like to give No stars. I only come here because of my insurance. I have gotten 2 sets of glasses that I haven't been able to where. I have gone back so may times my head is spinning. I came to find out that it depends on who's taking care of you when you complain as to what gets done. The manager says let's adjust the frames and then wear them and see if that makes a difference. I come back again still not being able to wear them. The next girl says let's order new lens. Keep in mind I still can't SEE. The final time I went in one of the girls was shopping for her own frames while customers were waiting including myself. I haven't been able to get back into the office to complain that I still can't SEE due to Covid but I did call today to get the District Managers number. Let's see how this goes. Basically, I suggest opt out for your employers vision coverage if this is all the offer and find a reputable Physician who can back the product and there reputation. read more

Good customer service, but they don't know how to make lenses. It's like you have a nail shop a few blocks away from your house, but you rather drive a little further to nail shop own by Asain people, so you will be treated good and good service. First lenses I got, a couple months later, both lenses got cracked from the top. So, I returned it to have them fix. Second time after they said they fix the issue, I can't put it on at night time driving because the lenses are so blurry. Customer service is very friendly, but, like I said earlier, they don't know how to make lenses. I am not going there again. read more

Went in there for an eye appointment for contact lenses. While waiting, a former patient came in and was trying to get her contact lense prescription, which they refused to give her. " When I asked about this policy, they said something to the effect of "Unless you come back for the follow-up, we won't give it. We have to see how the contacts fit." I said,'I've been wearing the same contacts forever, of course they fit." Still wouldn't give it and you have to pay for the second appt. (the first is $110) which to me says they're just trying to jam you on the fees. So I ended up leaving before my appt and will look elsewhere. read more

Terrible customer service and took.others appointments before mine. Gave an excuse that they were behind. However, 245 person went before and another couple. I have been here for an hour and no seems to be interested I. Keeping appointment or made an adjustment for their era. HORRIBLE customer service. Kenny was the only person to help me. Don't come here if you are looking for service! You will only get EXCUSES for thier failures to service. I feel like Bision works is customer and I am Vision works. Tinkey park location. If I could it a negative star I would read more

My daughter was having some issues seeing the board at school so we brought her to get her eyes examined here. I was a bit skeptical because I figured these chain stores might be all about selling product more than customer focus. I had experienced that at Pearls vision center before. Well, we got an appointment with Dr. Opferman and he came out and met us himself in the waiting area which was a nice touch . My daughter did all the exams and and he was very thorough and spent a lot of time explaining to us what was going on and what she needed. He explained our options between glasses or contacts and wasn't overly pushy at all trying to sell us more than we wanted , in fact when I asked if we should get bifocals which I knew would be a lot more expensive he told us we did not need them. He could have made a few extra bucks but instead gave us fantastic honest customer service . After we chose our glasses he came out again and spoke to us about rebate options on the pair we chose . I think we have found a keeper eye doctor for our family . Thanks Dr. O read more

Doctor Harrmann was excellent! The service up front is slow as hell, every single time! When you know from beginning to end it takes 2 hours and the same person has to be occupied with the client for those two hours why wouldn't you have MORE THAN one person working!!!!!! read more

My husband came here to get glasses twice. Both times were terrible. The first time the lady kept arguing that he had to get bifocals when bifocals aren't for him because he drives for his job. The second time they didn't even order the frames with the glasses it took two and a half weeks and all they can say is we don't know why that we didn't order the frames. Nobody calls when the glasses are done. It is ridiculous dealing with this place. read more

Do NOT judge this place by its negative reviews and overall star rating. My husband and I have used this location multiple times. The staff is extremely courteous and attentive. They work with you to get you the best deals to save you cost. The eye exams run on time, are speedy, and the optometrist is very friendly. We have had nothing but very positive experiences every time we have visited. The have provided nothing less than topnotch service. read more

My elderly parents went to this facility to pick up a new prescription for glasses. My father kept telling them that these glasses do not feel right. They insisted that he needs to give it time to get used to. He seriously was so frustrated and felt that this could not be. After discussing this with them they realized they gave him the wrong prescription. He seriously thought he was losing his mind! My mom had the same issue a few years back with contacts. Please people think twice before you go here. We gave them another chance and they failed!! My dad almost drove home with the wrong prescription. He could have gotten into an accident!! read more

After having gotten my eyes examined by an ophthalmologist, I went to Visionworks last night to choose some frames and get my prescription filled. Upon entering, I was given a cold greeting by a store associate who offered no assistance with the selection process. At one point while I was standing looking at a display of frames on the wall, she walked right in front of me (causing me to move) and bent over to put some frames in a drawer below the display. She did not even have the common courtesy to say "Excuse me". Approximately an hour later after viewing and trying on "a ton" of glasses (something I really hate doing), I finally had it narrowed down to 4 frames. I asked the "anything but friendly" store associate if she could hold the 4 frames so I could come back today to make a final decision. She reluctantly agreed. She handed me back my prescription and put the frames in a bag. Today I returned to Visionworks and requested to see the frames I had put on hold. Well, much to my dismay, the bag and frames that I had spent so much time choosing weren't there! Only a bag with the name "Steve" was there. An associate told me that someone had probably "cleaned up" and put the frames back but that there must not have been a name or note on the bag. The rude associate from the night before knew it had taken me a long time to choose those frames but couldn't be bothered to put my name (which had been on the prescription) or even attach a note to it. And surely she knows the associates routinely put frames back on display. After spending a couple minutes looking for the frames, I realized it was like looking for 4 needles in a haystack. Today's associate said "I'm sorry", but it was obvious she couldn't care less and wasn't even willing to check with the other associates to see if any of them put the frames back and, if so, if they could by chance remember where they put them. Needless to say, I'll be getting my frames elsewhere. read more
