Dr. T really listened, took the time to understand my lifestyle and vision needs, and used her deep technical knowledge to fit me with multifocal contact lenses that not only have me seeing better than I have in a year, but also properly addressed my dry eye. Her expertise and use of advanced diagnostic tools made me feel completely confident in her recommendations and treatment plan. You can tell she stays up-to-date with the latest in eye care and genuinely cares about providing the best possible outcomes for her patients. Side note~ I had recently been told by two different optometrists that I was not a candidate for contact lenses. This is not to speak poorly of them, rather to elevate Dr. T. She is a peer educator and teaches other optometrist about the latest advancements in contact lens technologies, including how to identify and treat appropriate patients. All that to say, if you have the opportunity to be seen by her, you are in very good hands. Erika is the optician at Be Seen and is equally as knowledgeable and talented -- she fitted me for the coolest pair of sunglasses I've ever owned. Their selection of regular frames is amazing, also -- they're more like stylish accessories than the glasses of yesteryear. The whole experience felt like true concierge-level care, blending top-notch technical skill with a warm, personalized approach. I'm so grateful to have found a team that combines professionalism, accuracy, and genuine care.

I totally forgot to make a review. So after an awful experience with eyebuydirect's brick and…read moremortar location, I was pretty put off by online turned retail type glasses stores. I was at UTC for normal shopping with the family and my husband said i should just check out Warby Parker, I argued that we didn't have time but he pushed so I said fine. I had a good idea of the frames I was looking for (clear acrylic) so it made it easy, we entered the store and were greeted by staff who were all quite friendly, they left us to browse and try on frames and were not at all pushy or hovering. I found the ones I wanted and was going to just order later and assumed it'd be similar to eyebuydirect where it claims to be one price but after add-ons it'd triple in price, but it really wasn't too much more. It wound up $50 more than the price listed on the frames bc I added on the blue light block and the guy helping me even knocked $15 off. So I was OTD for under $200 in less than 20 mins and received the glasses in the mail about 9 days later. Excellent experience!

I was greeted right away by Vineeta. It was my first time getting a pair of glasses (ever) and she very quickly helped confirm my insurance coverage and select multiple frames to try out. The selection is fantastic at LensCrafters with multiple price points available. Vineeta (and my husband) were very patient with me as I figured out what frames felt/look best. With my insurance and coupons I had via my insurance, I felt like the pricing was very reasonable. I was told that it would take 7-10 days for my glasses to arrive, but I got a text on Tuesday night that they were ready! I picked them up on the following Saturday and they fit perfectly. No adjustments were required and the prescription was perfect. If any adjustments need to be made, I can bring them in anytime. I did also opt for the 1 year protection plan ($34.99) since these are my first pair of glasses. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at LensCrafters in purchasing glasses. I can't speak to their eye exams, but highly recommend them for glasses.

CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKED…read more I entered the store to shop for frames and potentially get my eyes examined out of convenience I was in the area shopping. Nobody bothered to help me for long time until I flagged assistance down and when I did the guy seemed to provide mediocre customer service at best. 1) I had questions about some Burberry frames that were ~$350, overall frames were beautiful and fit my face BUT I need to increase the distance and lift a little as my nose isn't as pointy or big and there were no nose piece and my lashes touch the lenses. HIS RESPONSE "you can go to Amazon and buy those nose pieces". Amazon? Why would I buy $350 frames to add a sticker nose piece that might not even work. Then he said I would have 30 days to return. The right answer would be to seek if they do make adjustments to frames and if no maybe suggest an optometry or glass repair that does. I mean I guess I can try the Amazon hack but that was some weird advice. Another service person walked by and I asked the same question, she referred me to call a place to see if they could assist making the adjustments. 2) The guy came back and I wanted to schedule an appointment. Took about 5-10m to run my insurance. I asked about exams... the comprehensive one (since in the past I've had eye trauma from my motorcycle accident and want to do more than the basics) and he didn't know much about the comorehensive and brought me to the back to get answers. He didn't know about retinal imaging. You work at an optometry place and you don't know about the kinds of exams? You don't have to be an eye doctor but should at least know the basics. Go figure, same guy that told me to go on Amazon and buy sticker nose pads. 3) At that time in store I scheduled my exams. But then maybe 10m I had to cancel because of conflict in my schedule. That same guy said he cancelled it (I was standing next to him) and was told to call back when ready. I asked for a card so I can call back when ready. Days later I got a notification that I missed my appointment. An appointment I cancelled and told the guy to cancel and he confirmed it was cancelled... only to receive notice i missed the appointment. If the front of the house can't get simple things in order... I am not sure how credible they are to do a good thorough eye exam. First time attempting to try out LensCrafters and probs my last.

I had hoped my father's health insurance would cover everything, but unfortunately, I would have to pay for frames. Dr. Trainer knew I didn't have the money to buy frames. The ones I chose were literally the least expensive ones I could find. He told me that those had just been discontinued, but if I wanted them, he could let me have the display frames for free. I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I offered to pay in installments, but he wouldn't take it. He said instead that if I ever find myself in a position to help someone out, to pay it forward. I will never forget that and make a point to "pay it forward" whenever I can. Thanks Doc, you changed my life.

I cannot believe I've been wearing ill-fitting glasses for so long when Eleven Optical has been around. If you've got a low nose bridge, almost everything here will fit you so much better than brands that allegedly have low nose bridge styles but they still slide down (coughWarbyParkercough). I also don't really know what style of frames suit my face shape the best, but the super helpful staff here were able to point me in the right direction. Super quick turnaround time as well - I went on a Sunday and had them by Tuesday, but that's only because I needed the 1.67 index lenses which take a little longer and they're closed on Mondays. I think most prescriptions they can turn around within a day, which is amazing. On pick up day, I was able to get my frames adjusted to fit my face. As I understand it, they make as many adjustments as you need if you bring your glasses in. The only minor con is that the parking lot here is the size of a booger, but I was still able to find parking both times. I'll never get glasses anywhere else again!
