These guys shouldn't be allowed to be in business. I'm going to start with the worst part, but if I…read morehave space, I'll go through the rest of it afterward. So they screwed up my prescription. While it was correct on the machine, Dr. Sanders wrote it down incorrectly. That part alone is fine; we're all human. But a business who acts with integrity would hear that and say "Oh no, please come back in so we can correct the issue." This business? Their response was "you didn't buy your glasses from us, so we'll have to charge you." To be clear: I have my prescription from a few years ago. All you need to do is look at it to see that the one from Waco Vision Source is incorrect...but I made the mistake of not looking until after I'd ordered glasses (from somewhere that didn't want to charge me $600 just for lenses), because foolish me trusted what they'd written down. I'm STILL disgusted by their behavior, even a few weeks later. It would've taken 5 minutes tops for them to fix the problem. Again, all they'd have needed to do is compare the new prescription to the old. But they're so prideful and money-hungry that they would rather blame me for not buying from them, instead of admitting that they could have POSSIBLY made a transcription error. I had to go to another business just to fix THEIR mistake, because it would've been a cold day before I handed them another penny. And guess what! The second place got it right AND told me I could come back if I found an error, and they wouldn't charge! That's how you act with integrity. The other negative reviews I'm reading are spot on to what happened to me. The whole appointment is an experience in brand partnerships, which is just gross. You walk in and they make you scan a QR code, which leads you to a questionnaire that's tied in to some brand they've partnered with. After they rush you through the usual tests, they strap a VR HEADSET on your head and make you do some other gimmicky "test"...and surprise! That's also tied in with another brand! I guess they haven't found a brand to partner with for the peripheral and color blindness tests, because those are still done the normal way. Both tech and doctor rush you through the appointment. Before you even have a chance to ask any questions, the doctor calls in her little boutique saleswoman, who escorts you out to the sales floor. At this point, you're shamed and pressured into buying from them. "You get what you pay for!" they keep trying to tell you, at even the merest whiff of a suggestion that you'll be buying elsewhere. Their frames are all $180 minimum, but MOST of them are in the $200+ range. They make you look at those under the guise of inputting your insurance information. And then they wanted to charge me $600 for just the lenses. Yes, I'm now in range for getting progressive lenses, so they're more expensive. But these chuckleheads thought they were going to pressure me to dive straight in for the highest cost they had. You should have heard the sheer reluctance in her voice when she finally had to admit they had something less expensive. This entire experience was a branding partnership under the guise of an eye exam. The fact that they won't give you the time of day if you don't buy from them is DISGUSTING. I cannot emphasize enough how much it is NOT THEIR BUSINESS who you buy glasses from. You're there to get an exam. You're not there for their shiny gimmicks. I don't care how many kick-backs they get; that's a 'them' problem, not an 'us' problem. Seriously, pick another place. I can only imagine the 5 star reviews are either paid or are friends of the staff there...or don't care about money. I've NEVER not bought glasses from the same place as my exam until I came here, and I've also never been this disgusted with a business before.

Warning About America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses - Waco, Texas…read moreMy wife and I had an extremely disappointing experience at America's Best in Waco, Texas. We went there in December 2025 and used our insurance benefits for glasses. In February 2026, I returned for contact lenses. I left the office without clear vision and was told it would take a few days for the contacts to adjust. Four months and approximately eight trips later (nearly 50 miles each way), I still do not have clear vision. My prescription was changed repeatedly, but the problem was never corrected. I have worn contacts for 40 years and have never experienced this many problems or excuses from a vision provider. My wife had the exact same experience. Neither one of us currently has vision good enough to safely drive, and we cannot even use a computer comfortably without adding reading glasses purchased elsewhere. We spoke with General Manager Joel Files, but our concerns were not handled in a way that resolved the issue. We requested a refund so we could go somewhere else for proper vision care. America's Best refunded only the deductible and has not credited back the insurance-paid portion. After months of frustration, wasted time, travel, and additional expenses, we are now forced to find another provider and pay again.
