I have been buying my glasses from vision for less since I moved to Ames Iowa almost 7 yrs ago. I…read morehave always been met with a professional and welcoming employee attitude. My last visit not so much. I had them fill my prescription same as always. Only this time my prescription made me dizzy and gave me a headache. After talking with my opthalmologist at Wolfe eye clinic, they determined it was a wrong prescription on one lens. The attendant at vision for less told me there was no wrong prescription, and that Wolfe eye clinic was wrong. I asked how to explain the headahes and double vision dizziness. She told me I could go somewhere else if I don't like the service. Deborah Maier is the employees name. No professionalism require for the glasses attended at Vision for less. Never have I been so insulted. I returned my glasses and will never give them a referral or go back for thier service. I will in fact warn my friends and colleagues at ISU not to use this business.

I felt they had a great selection of glasses available, and I definitely felt like the value for your money was much better than I've seen in other optical stores. The optician was knowledgeable and professional without being stuffy. He described everything he was doing and why as we went through the eye exam process, and was friendly and courteous, as well. The entire staff, in fact were quite friendly, courteous and helpful. The optician who helped me went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my insurance would be applied before I lost it, making multiple phone calls to do so. I will definitely go back, and recommend this store to others. As far as the other reviews, note that one is over a year old, the other eight years old. I suspect there have been some staffing changes since these were written.

She was very knowledgeable and professional and took the time to pull some options for me to try out. Her coworker was also very nice helping the other customers. I thought the prices seemed reasonable, the process was easy, good selection of frames, and the glasses arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I am happy with both the glasses and sunglasses. I highly recommend!
