Friendly local business. I showed up on the fly today to a gated shop. I thought they were closed but I saw 2 men in there so I approached to read the posted signs. Turns out, due to covid restrictions, the shop only allow a single guest OR a single family in at a time. Kevin (manager) manages the customer flow by closing the black gate after you enter. Service itself was fast and pleasant. I purchased 2 new frames with lens (1 regular prescription and 1 prescription sunglasses) plus new lens for my existing frames for less than what lens crafter charges for a new frame + lens combo. I happened to stumble across this shop through yelp, but I can't ever justifying purchasing lens from anywhere else again. read more

Great place to get your frames. I love mine and so many to choose from. I had 3 pair of glasses done any very happy with what I received. Really nice people. read more

Great service and many choices on frames. Staff were very helpful and professional. Prices a lot better than the place I used to go. read more

Their staff is great! Super friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Price for lenses were less expensive than Costco.

I have been buying my glasses here and at the San Marcos location for over 20 years! stylish glasses, including way cool sunglass selections. you absolutely cannot beat the prices either! Curtious people work here and help you with your selections and fitting! read more

John is the best! He did a great job putting new lenses in a very expensive frame from France! I don't go anywhere else! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! The owner is phenomenal. I drove an hour both ways to have him put in a very high prescription in four sunglasses. I was told at multiple other places they would not be able to put lenses in, but they were able to do it at the store! Very, very very happy! if you're being told at other places, they cannot put prescription lenses in your frames then please go to this place! Likely he will be able to do it read more

This place is amazing! They were able to put an updated prescription in my old existing frames that Costco said they couldn't do and they did it for a cheaper price and the customer service on both the drop off and pick up and was absolutely amazing with two different employees. They also have a great frame selection and the store is clean and organized .Thank you for making this such a great experience!!! read more

Excellent service, two pair of new lenses in my original frames are great, very competitive price.

I highly recommend these guys. Wonderful fast friendly service! And extremely reasonably priced prescription glasses! I will be getting all my glasses from them from now on. It took absolutely no time to place order upload prescription and got glasses in 5 days! Polycarbonate lenses! With a stylish frame. For 39$!! Amazing! I am beyond stoked to have discovered this shop!!! read more

See all

Very attentive and knowledgeable optometrists. Access is easy with plenty of parking.

Best quality lens.Way better and cheaper price than anywhere.Fast service and turn around.

I honestly have not seen this high level of customer service in a very long time. Kevin was patient with each person who came in or called on the phone. He offered me a quote on what I was there for (to reuse some highly specialized frames) but also showed me something somewhat similar that he could do which would even allow me to customize a different shape lense for the frames. His custom creation with new frames will be about half the cost of reusing my old frame, and will be done in-house in half the time. They do not accept any insurance, but I was planning on out-of-pocket anyway, so that worked great and the price was very reasonable. It's a small little shop but with tons of inventory and the ability to customize. read more

I can't say enough great things about this location. Staff always goes up and beyond with a smile (which is rare nowadays). They are fast and efficient with good quality frames. Most importantly is the price. Very fair for the quality! I would recommend this place big time! read more

I just have to rave about this place and Kevin! I called regarding a pair of glasses that have a more difficult lense (to make). Although they couldn't help with my frame, he not only called me back after finishing up with his customer but he also gave me an amazing referral to another shop that could. Dealing with so many places, it's so wonderful to come across someone and a business that takes the time even if they aren't getting the business (yet). I say 'yet' because I will most definitely bring any glasses here that aren't my difficult ones and make sure to tell everyone about this place. Huge thanks to Kevin for taking the extra step and it's no wonder y'all have amazing 5 star reviews! read more

I truly recommend this company for your eyeglasses. They were very professional and courteous. The prices and styles are awesome. Great selection of eyewear for everyone. Didn't take long to get my glasses back. I was very impressed with the excellent service. read more

Lens for Less is exactly that. Excellent workmanship. The selection of frames is excellent and what's more; T by stand behind their product. I have moved to Laguna Cali. Prices through the roof. No discount for Seniors. I am going to drive out there for an hour to get my glasses. It's worth it. Thanks guys! read more

What a great place for glasses! My husband actually got two pairs because the prices were so good. The gentleman that helped us was knowledgeable and very nice. Glasses arrived fairly quickly after ordering. It was summertime and there is not a/c in the whole strip mall, but they have big fans. Just not somewhere you want to spend a long time; but it was worth it. Can't blame the nice people that work there. read more

Great service, Really reasonable prices and very very fast work!! Will definitely be coming back in the future!!

My wife and I have been using Lens 4 Less for all of our eyewear needs. While we have used their Oceanside and San Marcos locations, we have received the very best service from Kevin in the Oceanside location. He always makes sure that we are satisfied and does anything necessary to make it right. Kevin is all about customer service. He really listens. There have been issues occasionally in the past, but he always does what's right for his customers. In the future, Kevin is our contact for all things eyewear. Having the right, knowledgeable expert that is approachable and really listens are crucial in my opinion. There are many budget eyewear shops out there, but you will absolutely not go wrong if you take take my advice. read more

Review on ordering new lenses: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I got three pairs of lenses for my Rx glasses. The turn around time is great. There were options on types of lenses and Kevin was very knowledgeable. They do not stay open late night so check times before going. Recommend lens 4 less to everyone. Kevin is A++++ on customer service. *Take your rx glasses here for lenswork. read more

What a great experience! I have a hard time finding glasses to fit me properly and I went to at least 6 places before I found this place. The manager who works here was so knowledgeable and knew exactly what my issues were and did so much to help and he was very honest. You can tell its genuine and not about a sale. I ended up finding a great pair of guess glasses and they were ready in a week! Most comfortable glasses I've ever owned. They have a customer for life! Thank you!!! read more

Lens for Less saved the day, when my teen daughter had her mind set on keeping her old frames for her new prescription. Our regular optometrist said, sure, we'll send the frames to the lab, but it could take up to 10 days. That was NOT an option, as she is basically blind without those glasses and doesn't have a spare pair. Next, we went to Walmart, where I had to sign a liability waiver that the frames may end up getting destroyed, and then watched as two employees could not figure out how to remove the existing lenses to measure the frame. Found Lens for Less on yelp, and could not be happier. Not only did they assure me that it was not a problem at all, the person there (sorry, forgot the name) measured the frames right then and there without even having to take the old lenses out. Then they made the new lenses, and put them in first thing on a Saturday morning for me, so my child could still wear her glasses that Friday at school, and was without them for just a couple of hours. THANK YOU! read more

Okay! This place rocks. I needed a replacement pair of lens. Lens-crafters told me they wanted $250, this place said $100. No regrets! Then, I lost those sunglasses. I went back to "lens 4 less" and they sold me a pair of complete prescription polarized sunglasses for $100. I love a bargain! Service is nice too. read more

I got a pair of glasses here 4 years ago and another just recently. What I like about Lens-4-Less is: Super-reasonable prices. Mine were about $50 - $60 for frames + single vision lenses (polycarb). Very pleasant vibe. No posturing or up-selling. Some nice frames if you're lucky. Most other optical places have crazy mark-ups, and no after-sale rape counseling. read more

Can't say enough good things about Lens 4 Less. I needed new lenses for my existing frames and was actually recommended these guys by my optometrist for their prices and turn-around time. The customer service is great! Each time I came in to drop off and pick up my glasses they were assisting other customers and they seem to have a fair share of returning customers as well. That made me feel more confident about their services, especially since their prices are so affordable! The man that assisted me went over the different lenses and add-ons and made his recommendations. 5 days later (including the weekend), I have my glasses back! I will definitely be coming back in the future for myself and my family. I'm even considering prescription lenses for my sunglasses since I spent about half as much as I would have elsewhere. My experience exceeded expectations! read more

2 pairs of progressive lens glasses for less than 280? Nice. And I can see out of them! Nice selection of frames , no pressure and fast service. They promised me glasses within a week and they called in 6 days saying they were ready. And they were. And I can see through them. I've purchased cheap glasses and expensive glasses and sometimes you get what you pay for. In this case, Lens4Less offers a true prescription fill, good selection of frames and service as they promise. And they're prices are great. I definitely recommend and will return. read more

I know I'm a lot premature writing this review but I am so impressed with this store I had to let people know. I bought a frame I love but unfortunately my prescription has changed a lot and I needed new lenses but not a new frame. The place I bought the frame from wouldn't put new lenses in for me as they don't make that frame anymore (?) and Costco said no way their lab would do it but the nice guy in optical said I should go to "Lens 4 Less" as they do an outstanding job for a good price. He told me where they were located. I zoomed over there and wow, yes, they were very nice and said no problem they could do it! I got bifocals with antiglare coating for $75 and should have them in 5-7 days!!!!! I'm really happy about this so will update this review if the lenses don't work out or there's a problem but I don't expect that to happen. I think this place is a goldmine. read more

This place completely sucks every time I go get my sunglasses there and they never seem to get the lenses completely right one always looks like they're popping out and practically blind in one eye and the other one looks flush nicely Fitted I don't know what the problem is I've gone here for the last 2 to 3 years hoping every time that they would get it right and time after time my wife makes fun of my left lens because it's popping up in my right lens is a lot more flush I'm like if you can't do the job don't even attempt I'm gone to other places for my sunglasses and they turn out just fine I'm not sure what the problem is here but I will not be going back ever again! read more

Great experience, fast service, low prices. Very pleased with my glasses. Both pairs are fantastic. They have a huge selection. Highly recommend getting your glasses here. Will be back! read more

This place is awesome! I got a cute pair of perscription glasses for ~$60 and the guy that works there is really nice. However, I do want to warn you- he is pretty awkward and he has horrible phone etiquette; he actually answers the phone with "Hello?" and that's it. read more

Staff members were great and very helpful. Good turnaround timing too. Affordability was great too.

Quality frames and work for great prices. Competent, well spoken employee got me in and out quickly. Def going back.

Best deal on lenses and frames PLUS great customer service. This business is a credit to our community when more upscale places charge customers up to $300 for a pair of glasses without blinking an eye. Have been a loyal satisfied customer here for 8 years. Wouldn't even think about going anywhere else. read more

Very professional, Covid Clean, and very helpful. I purchased a pair of prescription reading glasses and struggled with them when I was on my computer. I called and discussed my issue and was pleasantly helped in getting another pair of glasses for reading the computer screen. He had my information and ordered them for me, in just a few days I was called to let me know that they were in. Perfect !!! That is CUSTOMER SERVICE read more

Tired of paying top dollar for my glasses, I took my prescription to Lens 4 Less and I am glad I did. Very good service, prices and selection. Would recommend. read more

Great service, great prices, only took 5 days, 5 days earlier than expected. I couldn't say more about this place please go there and check them out! Kevin really knows the business. Thanx!! read more

Always excellent customer service, good turn around time, good selection of frames and all together a great experience. Hands down worth coming here over any other place to get your glasses. The pricing is unbelievable and you won't regret it! read more

This place is truly great if you need glasses. As we know, glasses can be pricy. I was quoted 300 bucks to replace my glasses at my usual optometrist office. The insurance would not cover it because I only get glasses once every two years. I could not wait to get it covered since I'm pretty much blind and you can only wear contact lenses for so long. I was referred here by a friend. I got my prescription from my optometrist and came here. I'm so glad I did because I saved a lot of money. The selection is great, I selected a pair of Jessica Simpson frames for $69. I was looking to replace my original Kenneth Cole glasses which have a distinct style but they didn't have them. I did find them online and brought the frames to them charging me $55 (includes anti-glare). I highly recommend this place. They are amazing, do an excellent job and are affordable. read more

My sunglasses broke at the hinge. I called Lens 4 Less they said to come right in...in 5 minutes they replaced the frames and I was on my way. They are great and terrific customer service. I highly recommend these guys! read more
