So disappointed in Eyeglass World. After years of awesome service, I had trouble with my most recent glasses/prescription, making me nauseous. I was never called (SanTan Location) to let me know my glasses were in. 2 weeks later, when I called I was told "they're behind schedule" So, I decided to switch back to the Tempe (Priest/Elliott) store where we had gone in the past when I had trouble with the glasses. So, I went in last week to have them check my glasses -- they never took them from me and referred to my doctor. (Kyle) I went to MY Dr, who slightly altered the prescription and I went back to the Tempe store. (Both The Dr and another employee confirmed the prism was incorrect causing my problems) Kyle is who I saw again today. He blamed the doctor and me for the wrong prism and tried to intimidate me. Didn't work. I got a new pair of glasses replaced with new frames but I will no longer give Eyeglass Workd my business after this. Kyle had the gall to ask if I went to to a licensed optician and then told me all of his qualifications (why does this matter?).. He said if this doesnt work we are out of options and Eyeglass World would no longer be able to assist me, My Dr would need to change the rx (I trust what my Dr says more..) I told him he was at risk of losing my business next year but he was unapologetic so by the time we had walked out of the door, we both decided our eyeglasses wont come from here anymore. We will go elsewhere after how we were treated. Shame on you, Kyle and Eyeglass World. read more

The tech was sweet. The techs do t ask any kind of questions regarding your style or type of glasses (metal, plastic). They do not measure your face nor the glasses to see if they are the right fit. Was told ready in one week, then told 2 weeks. No call, no text. I called and they had been ready 72 hours after ordering them. Went Xmas Eve for pickup and they were closed. No phone message when I called, no notice on the door and nothing in the internet. An hour and a half drive for nothing. Now, another drive and wondering if they're open. We'll see how my frames are, tech talked me into something I never wanted. Let's see read more

Kyle was great! Then it kept going down hill from there! When I got the lenses not only did they not even fit in frame but I was so excited for them to have anti glare and that didn't work out either. The "manager" was a complete meannie butt about it. Did nothing to make it right. read more

Came in today to get a pair of glasses. Upon entering you're welcomed in. I'm going to make this as simple and to the point. The whole staff was awesome. They took care of us in a timely manner.

After many years of using another eyeglass company for all my exams and glasses, twice in the past few years it was sold. I started to look for another place due to changes in the doctors, service and personal touches that are gone I choose Eyeglass World on a recommendation from my son. He has been getting prescription safety glasses for work from them for a few years and has been very happy with the exam, service and quality of the glasses. The doctor was very personablel, patient, listened to all of my concerns, and did not hesitate to repeat a few steps to be sure everything was correct. They have a good selection of frames varied prices, some were on sale and Kyle made a few suggestions that was very helpful to finalize the purchase. I actually spent less here, because they don't insist on the dialation (unless the exam indicates it is needed) and the lenses were less than the other business. Overall, I am very satisfied with my visit and will be going back, also would recommend Eyeglass World to anyone that needs an eye exam or glasses. I had no experience with contacts, but if they use the same honesty, integrity and service levels you will be happy to use them for contacts too - I'm sure of that! read more

I left work early just to make this appointment. I was only 5 minutes late and they turned me away and said I had to be rescheduled. Such an inconvenience, will not be coming here anymore . Priest location read more

Could not have asked for a better experience !! Dr. Perry was very nice & had great suggestions for my contact wear. Katrice was so kind and helpful ! She helped me pick out the perfect pair of glasses and was such a fun hype girl! I was in and out in under an hour (most of the time I spent looking at their amazing selection). Appointment itself took about 25 minutes tops. Price was great very reasonable ! read more

Best prices for an eye exam I have seen. I had a few issues with my lenses but Mike took care of it for me and fixed the issues I had. Great service and clean place I highly recommend this location and if you go ask for Mike he's great at what he does. read more

Eyeglass World - Inside - Optometrists Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I came to Eyeglass World for a few reasons: closer to home than my former optometrist, right by work, great advertising, & needed a new place more reasonable. Found great deals and also enjoyed my exam with Dr. Vu. She is awesome! Speaking of awesome, it was really cool to see Dr. Vi read my lens prescription just from putting my lens up to a machine and she could read mine from the lens directly. Made it easy for her to see what my mew lens needs would be. Michael helped me choose my frames & the things I needed for my lenses. I chose a great pair & he provided top notch service. I am very satisfied & will gladly recommend this location to anyone I know seeking an eye exam & new glasses. read more

Eyeglass World - Optometrists Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

no better way to describe the staff than incompetent! do you think its right to lie to your patients and tell them they can have free trial contacts and then charge them when they come to pick them up but DO NOT let them have the contacts because you require them to take time off of work to go to your garbage class on how to use contacts because you only teach that bs 11-3? you people have ignored patients waiting for attention and answered phones in front of me while i waited to be acknowledge at all. read more

Post-Quarantine Review: Safety is a concern here with hand sanitizer stations at the front and temperature checks. Masks are also required. They have great styles and choices of newer selections and frames for everybody to choose from. Not to mention the customer service is wonderful. Especially Catrice (and the rest of the team), she was exceptionally great at helping customers and me. My recommendation is to get the one-year warranty as mishaps can occur. Things happen and accidents are always prone to those in motion. So they definitely did right here by me. I used to always shop at Costco Optical department however this has been my new place! Best eyeglass shop in town! Thank you Catrice! They do carry brands such as Raybans, converse, etc.. read more

From the first moment you walk into the store amazing customer service the staff greets you with a smile- they are all caring and understanding the store manager, Mike is amazing his staff amazing ! Melinda is the most sweet, caring, understanding and patient human being I've ever met. If you are looking for a location that treat you with respect and human decency come check out these guys they are the best- 10 out of 10 EYEGLASS WORLD IN Tempe AZ is amazing ! read more

The one in Santan is very horrible when it comes to fitting my daughter is very shy and quiet and the lady didn't even have her sit down and go over why the glasses bothered her. Need better customer service when it comes to after the purchase. My daughter likes her glasses but they don't fit well and the person helping did not even have her sit down and explain it to her but got hostile. read more

Disappointed! I went in August 4th to order two pairs of prescription glasses and sunglasses. I received one pair of glasses within two days since it was just the basic lens. Both my other pair and sunglasses were to take 7 to 10 days because they were transition and polarized lenses. On August 14th I called to check if they were ready, I was told they were not. And they said any day now. I once again called on the 18th to check which again they said they weren't ready and I asked if they'd be ready soon. Which they then said "any day now." To which I then replied okay "ill wait for you guys to call me then." Today over 3 weeks later I decided to call again since I haven't received a call from them. And it's been a while. I call they said they are ready and supposedly they called me on the 15th! Which did not happen. I let the associate know I don't have any calls from them and they said " oh well sorry but they're ready." This does not make up for the fact that I've now been waiting 3 weeks and a half for my glasses. I've attached a photo of my call log to their number which shows no missed call from them nor a voicemail from them. They never called! You can also clearly see on my call log I called on the 18th. What I don't understand is why they wouldn't call again as it now been two weeks later from their 'supposed call.' I would think they would find it weird that I haven't gone to pick them up for so long! Absolutely disappointing! I came to eyeglass world because I had a good experience with the company when I lived in Las Vegas. Goes to show not every location is the same. I would also like to add they used my same account from Las Vegas and I have the exact same phone number so it's not like I've changed it. $268 dollars later (what i spent there) and I'm starting to wish I went somewhere else. I wear my glasses everyday and it would have been nice to have had my transitions and sunglasses by now. I don't recommend this location. read more

Eyeglass World - They never called me in the 15th! No missed call. - Optometrists Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

My husband and I walked in to look at glasses. From the second we walked in, we regretted it. The lady who worked there was very rude and treated us like second class citizens. Her whole demeanor and attitude was bad. I still looked at a few glasses just to give them a chance but the glasses were made of cheap plastic. Needless to say, I will never ever set foot there again. A nice smile and a warm hello goes a long way in customer service and they clearly missed the mark on that one. read more

I made an appt for 11:45 since it was my first time here i didnt know we can just do walk ins. I already had a prescription ready and picked out glasses. They cancelled my appt due to me already having a prescription and told me to wait i would be next soon. There was 3 people ahead of me. I waited almost 2 hours and still they let people who had appts go first and i had my kids with me they got bored quick. I went to the guy in front and he said i came at a busy time even though i had an appt which he cancelled. I took my business somewhere else and was in and out in 15 min. I would not recommend coming here if you already have prescription. They seem to worry about the ones who see the dr more read more

I know everyone has a different experience. Mine was 100% awesomeness. They were a little busy when my husband and I got there. I of course immediately wanted to look at frames. And my lil face mainly only fits kid frames. So it's not like I had a ton of choices or would take long to select. We were early. Well I was immediately directed to go to back. Then I found out my prescription and vision had drastically changed in barely two years. Hello trifocals. Yes there a thing! Now I know that's not huge but the combination of that left me with a bit of what I like to call ..... buzzkill. I was a little bummed. But... christy came on the scene and helped me out. Truly made it fun. And the glasses... we'll darling there're amazing. I would also have to say probably best eye exam and best translation to the prescription ever. And Mike helped me out a lot also in getting said glasses. I just had to say thank you so much. Oh yea hubby made out great too. . read more

Efficient, easy to make appointments and be notified. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I could not believe how affordable it was and thorough! I can't recommend it enough. I was going to go to Nationwide, but they had no lab on site and I needed glasses fast. They had mine ready within 24 hours. read more

First time here at the Tempe location and it totally blew away my expectations. From cleanliness to the safety protocols when looking for frames... this locations is on it. Called initially and was able to get a next day appointment. I saw Dr. Lindsey Perry and she was fantastic. I have very small prescriptions but have headaches/migraines. She really listened to me and took care of my optical needs. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. Really have not seen an eye doc like her. I worked with Kristie for check in (they do take temps and have you use the same pen for paperwork- really organized for safety with COVID) and she helped me finalize my pick of frames. I did not have insurance at this time so I paid out of pocket. Less than $180 for my exam, 2 pairs of glasses with lenses and the glare free coating. Just really top notch. read more

I came here for an eye exam after double checking and booking through my insurance. I was told they did not take my insurance, even though they did and that they could not look me up in the system. Awful service. read more

The service was not so great , they advertise what they do not sell, I paid quite a bit for glasses and was not really impressed with the feel of the glasses, told them and after 7 months scratches appeared and I called them and they basically said too bad. Will never go to them again. Bad service overall. read more

They got me in same day and I was out in an hour with my new prescription! Better pricing than most places and very thorough exam. I would definitely recommend this place to friends!! read more

I will no longer have Eyeglass World make my lenses. They never get it right. When you bring the lenses back because you can see better without the lenses they say they made them right, but for an additional $200 they can remake them. I had the same experience at the Mesa location. I have the same exact lens made at my doctor's office with the same prescription and I can see. When I tell them I want the lenses just like the ones I have they say they are, yet I can't see out of the ones that Eyeglass World made. This same thing happened to my sister. She had to end up going to LensCrafters to have them made correctly. Don't waste your money, go somewhere else. read more

Dr Vu is amazing! my husband has been suffering with oil drop cataracts and has never been able to find a prescription that worked for him as he needs two very specific ones for daytime and nighttime. she went above and beyond to find something that works! after 22 years of not being able to see well, he finally can and it's all thanks to her! I've never seen a doctor go to the lengths she has. the other staff members are awesome as well, but dr vu is a miracle worker! read more

They were absolutely wonderful in helping me pick out frames to express my new identity. They were excited for me and helped me find a couple of looks i loved, and went well above and beyond the call of duty, even refitting my lenses to another set of frames of the same design just for minor differences in the pattern in the plastic. Very friendly and helpful people across the board here. Worth scheduling early to have the place to yourself mostly. read more

I love the customer service from Richard and his manager. Very patient and fixed a pair of glasses I didn't get there for free. This is my new spot for getting affordable glasses with excellent customer service. Thank you Richard!! read more

Walked in today 4/8/23 to have are glasses have a slight tuneup and Richard was amazing and the crew also been with them more the 4 years and I give them a 10 thank you so much for amazing customer service the pena's read more

I drove 30min to this place for them to tell me the doctor left. My appt was at 5:30pm and she said it was because I wasn't here 15 min earlier. Rude and I will never refer anyone to come here read more

Big shout out to the Store Manager, Mike and his A -Team Kate and Richard. From the first step into the store, I was treated with nothing but excellent customer service. Kate was awesome, she was very knowledgeable and attentive to my eyeglass needs. She gave me the pros and cons to the types of frames and lens' available and that would suit my needs. Kate also let me know about the eyeglass insurance which had excellent benefits. I bought two pair of eyeglasses. One prescription clear pair and the other prescription sunglasses. The eyeglasses were ready in 2 hours as promised. When I came back to pick up my eyeglasses, Kate and Richard were kind enough to fit them properly. Big appreciation to the Eyeglass World Team in Tempe, especially Kate. If you need prescription eyeglasses (single lens script) right away, this is the place to get them. read more

First time trying out this place! bin a Walmart eye care customer for years. Worst experience since I was 10,When my mom use to take me to China town in L.A to get my eyes checked because we were so poor. Great Dr. just awful customer service and so ignorant on insurance policy's and how they work. Waste of my time and double the money! No thanks! Back to Walmart eye care next year.. read more

Gosh this was one of the best experiences I've had at any store ever! The doctor was amazing! She explained things to me I had never known about and in a very clear way, that I could understand! Very friendly and human, as well- me made chit chat about how great the churros at Disneyland are haha! Her support staff- awesome! Made me feel great about the process and very helpful with selecting new frames. Everyone here are just the best! Don't change a single thing about the formula of this location! Will refer everyone here that I can! read more

Looking for an eye exam and new glasses? This is your place! Extremely impressive and professional experience, and the price is right! My 81 yr old husband needed new glasses so we set up appointment to be checked! Everything went smoothly and they are practicing safe Covid measures including a temperature check. He had his eye exam and since he has a cataract in one eye and will need surgery later on the optometrist did not push us into expensive glass frames but showed us their selection of 2 pairs for $78, which is what we chose. Picked up glasses next day and they were perfect! They have a huge choice of frames including sunglasses for all price ranges. Overall this place ROCKS!!! read more

Making my appointment was easy. The eye exam was quick and professional. Glasses were ready same day. I was very pleased with everyone I encountered. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to an eyeglass store. My husband and I made appts and went to Eyeglass World on Priest and Elliott in Tempe. I received EXEMPLARY service from each department I went to. Let's start with "Dr. Moen". His sense of humor yet attention to detail were so refreshing. "Osiris" was the representative who helped us with our final selection of frames and lenses. She was patient and extremely kind and professional. Finally, I needed a little more detail and understanding on my prescription after leaving the store. I called and spoke with the Manager, "Mike". He thoroughly explained my prescription, what to expect, and made comparisons that truly helped me better understand. His concern and care were very apparent and I left that store soooo IMPRESSED. The prices are reasonable, the staff is AMAZING, and I would recommend THIS store to anyone in need of great eyewear including contacts and accessories. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for a FABULOUS experience. You all are representative of what "Best In Class" service looks and feels like. read more

Very friendly knowledgeable staff who definitely got me A pair of specs that are much better than the last. They definitely took the time to explain clearly and plainly why I was having difficulty with the first pair for the whole lot better vision. They also offer a very good selection of frames at a reasonable price. I picked up two pairs. For one regular glasses and a pair of sunglasses, it was $600 with insurance which is very reasonable. I recommend them highly and have my go to optometrist. read more

I've never written a negative review, but it has officially become necessary. I took my 12 year old daughter for an exam. When we received the glasses, they were so wrong that my daughter couldn't even walk straight. I returned them and they modified the prescription. The second pair of glasses were equally as bad. My daughter did not want to return because the man who assisted her had just returned from his smoke break without washing hands. The smell gave her a migraine, as he was in fact touching her face. I made an appointment at a different facility for a second opinion. The reason she couldn't walk straight is because the prescription was so unbelievably wrong. My daughter really liked the frames from eyeglass world, and her vision has been so messed up that we needed glasses quickly, so I ate the cost from eyeglass world and used the eyeglass world frames with her new lenses instead of returning them for my money back. The office manager was great in assisting me with my first return, but that's irrelevant when my child's ability to see clearly is the goal. The new doctor also indicated that the eyeglass world doctor noted in my daughter's file that she is at risk for glaucoma. The new doctor said it is protocol to discuss that with the patient if you're putting it in their file. Thankfully the eyeglass world doctor didn't burden us with a false alarm, as the new doctor said it was absolutely not true. The new doctor informed us to simply be aware that my daughter has always had an enlarged optical nerve so it doesn't raise concern when she's an adult. read more

The general manager selling us contacts was demeaning and disrespectful, all with the most plastic fake smile on his face. It took us five months to get the brand of contacts we wanted and he kept claiming that their brand was the same as the ones we wanted, and the only difference was the box cover and name on the outside. Absolute lies, because when we finally got the brand we've been asking for for the past five months they worked PERFECTLY. No dryness, no adjusting needed, fit perfectly. Not to mention, they've scammed us by claiming to not find our vision insurance and charged full price for a while instead of using our insurance. We double checked and found that we were covered for what we needed after a while of getting scammed. Do NOT trust their sales staff, or believe for a moment that they can't find your insurance. Doctor Perry is good and there has been no bad experiences there, but when you get to the sales people they're trained to be as slimy and scummy as possible. This store's sales system is highly unethical and predatory, and have to fight through lies and gaslighting to get something other than their terrible line of product. read more

Took my son in to get contacts at the Priest location. In order for him to get the contacts he had to have a lesson on how to put them in and have the prescription finalized by the doctor. I asked why we couldn't do it then since we were there for the appointment (this is something that is done after the exam , I wear contacts, I get it) and there was not only the doctor we saw but two other staff members with her talking in the back and very clearly not working ( sitting, laughing, chatting, no customers back there what so ever they were tending to, okay maybe one of the three was prepping papers or something) during our WHOLE check out process. Kira, the staff member checking us out told us she was the ONLY person who can do it and they are very short staffed. The other team member available who potentially could do this lesson had only been there for a month and has not been taught how to give the lesson. This would have been a great teaching moment for this staff member! Oh, and the manager is out of town. Not that I cared, I didn't ask to see the manager I had simply asked why we couldn't get the lesson done today and if it was really needed. So now we are waiting a week and half later to FINALLY get this lesson and move forward with contacts for my son. Being a working individual my only options of 11 or 2 are a bit difficult to work with. It was a pathetic excuse all the way around and absolutely terrible customer service. Kira may be the only person available to give this lesson but overall it looks like they are doing a terrible job with time management and training their staff to work efficiently and create a better customer experience. Fingers crossed there is some training done so that other customers don't have to deal with such a nonsense situation. I did have issues previously with them that I overlooked (they did a terrible job explaining options for glasses that turned into a back and forth mess, been wearing glasses for 15 years, not new to the game) but now I think it is time to move on. I do believe this is a location problem and not an overall Eyeglass World problem. read more

upon entrance i was greeted with friendliness even though i look outlandish :) my intake receptionist was so friendly and explained the eyedrops for dilation and the payments to me perfectly before I proceeded so there was no confusion when the bill was due :) My Doctor... There just isn't enough time or lines to say how funny genuine charismatic and cultured she was! if she wasn't helping us regular people adjust our eyes, she definitely would be in a star in any British role she wanted! she made me laugh while being very thorough with my exam and making sure that my first ever experience was informative and unforgettable :) The selection of glasses and the method that they used in order to keep social distancing and safe handling was perfection, I think they set the standard for cleanliness and the best methods used for not spreading germs :) every receptionist there made an impression on me and made me feel like a important customer, and although it was so long ago that I forget the names of the three that stand out the most to me are my Doctor Who worked my eyes and funny-bone :) The very dynamic beautiful and spiritually sound African Queen with glasses and a smile that could move the clouds to uncover the sun :) and the taller caucasian gentleman with glasses who even after my payment fell victim to the information age still kept my prescription kept my date of pick up and a very nicely explained to me the difference between bank cards and prepaid cards attached to applications. To be completely honest I was oblivious that some cards could not be used in some places! in a nutshell I left eyeglass World smarter than I came in seeing more clearly than I ever have and smiling more than any one human being should be allowed :) I can't wait to see you all again for my adjustments! read more

They require you to make changes to your appointment at least 24 hours in advance but they called me three hours before my scheduled appointment to cancel an appointment I made a month in advance, all the while sending me seven text and email reminders, including a text confirmation the day before, to which I responded by text in the affirmative, and one text reminder the day of. Their reason was "no doctors available today." Okay, so why did they schedule me a month in advance on a day no doctors would be available and how did they not know until three hours before my appointment? My appointment was originally for a Monday that is NOT a holiday. Looks suspiciously more like the doctors wanted to extend their weekend. Unprofessional and no respect for their customers' time and schedules. Is this a power play, like, they are the healthcare professionals and therefore more important and powerful and can dictate the rules and terms the customer must play by but are not held accountable to the same rules???! read more
