Very kind people. I had to reschedule due to upcoming events last minute three times and they were so kind and helpful during these problems. The appointment is self was great. They were very nice and kind. I have no complaints! And getting eyeglasses was better! The lady helping me (Ashley..?) gave honest opinions about each frame and I ended up getting THE best glasses I've gotten. I appreciate the brutal honesty when I want to attempt the Harry Potter glasses look! Thank you! read more

This location is described as being in the Citadel Mall but it's not in a mall. It's next to a nail salon. Just stating this to be sure I give a review to the right place. 975 Savannah hwy. While this place has a extremely good selection of beautiful designer glasses, both my husband and I were AMAZED by the 3 people working there. I felt like I had entered someone's home and should've called first. They literally do not get up out of their chairs to greet you, or, while I walked around for 45 minutes, come over and ask if you need any help. They are hilarious. They just sit there. When I approached the 3 of them, the snarky guy said something I couldn't understand. I asked him to repeat it and I still couldn't understand but the ladies laughed. These 3 got a cushy job, they just sit there and do nothing. When I did ask for a quote, the guy told the woman to do it and she came up with a figure that was over $200 from what I found on a Lenscrafter site when I got home. She breezed through the explanation of the lens, I didn't get any of it she went so fast. Then she told me to take a photo of it of course so she wouldn't have to write anything down. They are really milking it. They could care less about you. What a funny experience. You definitely can find a better place than this! read more

Let me be clear - I found the people here to be nice and professional, so no problems there. The issue is the absolutely insane charges they hit you with after an eye exam! I saw things on my bill I've never even heard of, and I've had eyes my entire life. Then, after the shock wears off and you go to pay, you're informed of a 3.5% "service charge" to use your credit card because, you know, everyone carries a few hundred with them in cash just in case they decide to have their eyes examined. Place is huge, looked clean and, once again, the people were nice. I haven't been nickel and dimed while bent over in a back room this hard since the last time I was in Vegas (boy, I spent a year there that night). Get your prescription elsewhere and get your glasses here. No exam! You'll thank me later. read more

I had a fantastic experience at LensCrafters! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, helping me select the perfect frames. They made the entire process, from prescription to final fitting, seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for professional care and stylish options!" read more

Lens Crafters in Citadel Mall has been here for a long time. Definitely customer service has improved and staff is more helpful and efficient! Always tons of different types of glasses to choose from! Love the Ray Ban line! Solid 4 Stars !! read more

This was an amazing experience and I thank you to the staff and doctor for taking time and being thorough with everything they did. Highly recommend read more

Excellent service. Friendly and helpful associate fixed my problem right there. Very generous and I will definitely go there for my next glasses read more

On vacation at Folly Beach and I dropped my prescription sunglasses. One of the lenses popped out and the frame became bent. No way I could fix it myself so I searched for the nearest LensCrafters and found this location on Savannah Hwy. I couldn't have been more pleased when they were able to fix my sunglasses on the spot. Vanessa was awesome! She had to reshape my frames so that the lens would stay in. Then she tightened all the screws and cleaned both lenses. It was like having a brand new pair of shades! I highly recommend LensCrafters and especially this location! read more

The staff was amazing. Store is beautiful and clean. A great retail space. I purchased Men's Ray Ban Change Glasses and am anticipating my glasses. read more

Came here a couple years ago when they were still located in Citadel Mall for an emergency and they were great, but went today because my glasses from last time broke and I needed a new eye exam anyway; Dr. Arafat was nice but they definitely pushed for every add on they could think of, and customer service from the guy in the glasses shop was terrible. He offered just about no help and was rude read more

Very difficult to get records transferred!! Recordings are not ok when you want to speak to a human.

This LensCrafters location inside the Citadel Mall in West Ashley is a great resource for eyecare and eyeglass needs. The staff here is very knowledgeable and helpful in making sure that their customers have everything that they need to find the best lenses and frames to be able to see better. The service is quick and efficient and at a reasonable value. I have been impressed in the times that I have been in here and they have provided an excellent customer experience. read more

See all

The two employees who helped me choose new glasses quickly, since I lost mine, were helpful, up-beat and fast! The estimated time to pick them up was 1 hour and they made them in less even with heavy customer traffic in the store. I was very impressed! read more

I've typically had okay experiences here. It really depends on the associate you get. But I went in recently and asked them to tighten my glasses, I have had this done for many glasses, many times, ended up with them creating crazing in my lense. I have had glasses over 22 years, have never had this issue before. I did not need new lenses before coming in but needed them after due to the crazing. I was told they would give me half off new lenses for their mistake which unfortunately is still over $200. Just very frustrating. I will not be paying them $200 for a mistake they made. read more

My wife and I came in to look around for glasses for her. We weren't sure if she was able to get glasses today so I asked the representative a few simple questions. I'm not sure if we asked her too many questions however, she was rude and a bit snobbish. I simply asked how long does prescriptions usually take because her doctors office stated it would take 12-15 days. She replied back with the the same answer she had for all of our questions, "I'm not sure you would have to bring in your prescription." After we proceeded to look at glasses just to find the right fit, she started talking our heads off about literally bs! Then concluded by saying glasses could take up to 10 days. My wife was carrying her telfar bag in which she suspected she was going to steal. She only started blabbering to us just to watch our moves. She insisted to come back on a different day with the prescription, every time she tried on a different pair. I literally told her to stop talking to us because I've worked in retail and I knew exactly what she was doing! read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, no one is nice to you and no one provides any guidance. Had to figure everything out myself so ended up just wasting my time. Don't get your glasses from lens crafters, find a local business to support that have a supportive staff. read more

I took my Costa sunglasses in today because the screw fell out. They aren't prescription and I didn't buy them there. The girl fixed them for free. I have to say the customer service was excellent. She even was smiling and friendly. If I ever need eyeglasses, I'd go back. read more

I will not nor any of my family and friends be using Lens Crafters again! Horrible service!

Spent over a $1000 last week on glasses and $1000s over years. New glasses didn't fit right and just needed to be adjusted. After a half hour wait was told it would be an hour. 2 other customers in store. Terrible customer service read more

LensCrafters is really lacking in customer service. I was told that the problem is cutting back hours of employees, not paying any benefits and new hires have no optical experience. Sadly, I used to really like this store. But going in and waiting for a half hour only to have an optician come over from the eye exam store next door was awkward. No manager around. Everyone was waiting a very long time to be helped. I will go to Costco for glasses next time. read more

The optometrist at this location has the worst bedside manner I have ever experienced. I'd rather burn my hard earned money than to see it end up in his pocket. read more

Let me start by saying the Optometrist was great. The store experience was NOT. I was told a basic exam was $59, which was why I chose to get my exam at Lenscrafters and not Costco or Pearl Vision, where they charge $70. So I was rather surprised when I checked out after my exam and was told my bill was $90. When I asked why it was $90 and not $59, the woman laughed. I paid, took my prescription home and started to order at an online eyewear company. The online forms require a PD (pupil distance) number. Nowhere on my prescription was there a PD number. So, I called the store to get my PD number and was told they don't give out PD numbers because the store measures that when you buy your glasses at LENSCRAFTERS. Now, If I needed a PD number to order online (which they vigorously discourage you from doing) , I had to come back to the store and pay them an extra $20. So, I guess they really don't want you buying glasses online. I guess the business model is to get you in the store for your exam, raise the cost of the exam from basic to something else without informing you, and then make sure you don't leave without paying premium prices for their Lenscrafter designer frames. Frames that are twice as expensive anywhere else. Lesson learned. Go to Costco ($70) or even Sams Club ($55) for your exam. It's cheaper and they don't force you to buy frames from them. They also include PD in your prescription without charging you extra money. read more

FANTASTIC experience with MAGGIE @ this store in Citadel Mall. She was super helpful - gave me great suggestions about which frames looked best on me while being suitable for my prescription. She took care of all my insurance paperwork with no hassle. For those of you who are interested in an honest opinion from a trained professional, Maggie is your girl And for those of you who shop at the Northwoods Mall, she works there too! read more

The most horrible customer service ever. Not only was I not acknowledged for the 20+ minutes standing in the store waiting for service, (which I normally would not do but had a wedding to attend that evening and was having issues with my contacts), I was sent next door to stand and wait without being acknowledged for another 30 minutes. A young lady walked over, while helping a different customer, asked if I was being helped, to which I replied no. Then and only then was i told that the doc (who happened to walk past me 10 minutes prior without saying a word!) and whomever was out to lunch but would be back at 2 (30 minutes later). I was not told this before being sent next door why? It takes quite a bit for me to become upset, I have a lot of patience, needless to say after wasting an hour of my time being ignored I walked away praying that I would not take my frustrations out on any innocent bystander! I will from here on out stick with Walmart!!! read more

Very disheartening experience. The gentleman at the front desk of the optometrist office was professional, yet cold and totally detached. And the optometrist does not seem any warmer. We quickly decided to go somewhere else. I hope people in the healthcare business will have more compassion to others' plea of help, not just giving standard response and turning their backs on their patients. read more

The worsr customer service ever! The staff were completely unhelpful and unwilling to answer my questions.
