made a same-day appointment and was seen immediately when i walked in earlier than my original scheduled time. the front desk ladies were so friendly and extremely helpful and informational in regards to insurance questions I had. not that many frames for options, but i chose some cute ones in the end anyway! thank you so much, and looking forward to picking up the frames soon. read more

DO YOUR RESEARCH, READ THE FINE PRINT, VERIFY EVERYTHING before you commit to anything with these people. This company advertises 2 pairs for $79, including a free eye exam and anti-glare lenses, and that you'll get your glasses that same day. It turns out that there are so many conditions that must be met before you qualify for that great-sounding deal, including your prescription and which store you go to - none of which are disclosed up front. You don't find out until you're there in the middle of the process. These guys are good at the old bait and switch game. I asked to have NON-PRESCRIPTION tinted lenses put into a frame I already own. I didn't ask for an exam, I didn't ask for new frames, I didn't ask for anti-glare lenses, just plain vanilla stuff. Regardless, the price was $176.96, with an estimated wait of TWO WEEKS. With insurance, the cost went down to $80, which is better, but still nowhere near matching the claims they make to get you in the store. Look before you leap. read more

I'm SO pleased with my first experience at Stanton Optical on Burnside! Mojo was incredibly efficient, answering all questions I had about the process & even finding me a more affordable contact options for my astigmatism! I hope her pillow is always cold & the traffic lights are always green for her. They also recommended a couple products that I absolutely love now. Highly recommend if you're looking for affordable & efficient care! read more

Stanton Optical - Pictured is 13 months of contacts that were delivered quickly! - Optometrists Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

When I went to them a couple years ago they waited until after the exam to tell me they do not sell glass lenses. So I let them talk me into plastic lenses. They told me they would work just like my photo-grey glass ones. A LIE! They started scratching within a week and the "photo-grey" lenses were just a plastic coating that is peeling and made the glasses basically useless after a year or so. So now I am looking for an honest place to get real glasses. read more

I called to make an appointment for my college age son and I told them the insurance I carry and the guy on the phone said "yes don't worry we take them come on in and we'll get you figured out" and guess what? my son took the day off work and school to go in and they told him they don't accept his insurance. I wish they would of told me this on the phone like I wanted to instead of making him waste his time and gas. Please do better!! Considerate for ppl time and money. read more

Absolutely everything was fantastic! I read the reviews before I came in, which were not very favorable here on yelp, but seeing that some of them were almost a year old or OVER a year old, I decided to try this place. I am SO glad I did! I am so VERY pleased with the service and care I received. Definitely unlike any other place I've been to in the past to get my glasses. Store associate's were friendly, greeted me right when I walked in. They were so helpful, listening patiently to exactly what I needed in helping me find the right balance of fit and price that suited my prescription lenses. My order was communicated to me perfectly, and pretty speedy wait time to receive prescription glasses. Exactly 2 weeks as stated, which was not long at all, considering the quality of product and service I received from start to finish. Best fitting for glasses I've ever had too! They make sure you feel confident and comfortable with your new glasses before you leave. This was not a long and drawn on experience either. They get you in and out in just the right amount of time, feeling assured you made the right choices. I did not know this kind of service existed, getting new glasses was always something I did not look forward to doing, given the places I went were such unpleasant experiences. I was usually rushed through exams and always ended up spending way over my budget for extremely ill fitted glasses. Overall, this was just a wonderful experience! I trust you will be as happy as I am with the exceptionally excellent services they provide here at Stanton Optical. I am so happy with my new glasses! read more

Went in for a contact apt and the whole time the ladies were great and nice but when I told them I'd be ordering my contacts elsewhere for cheaper, their mood changed. They were short and obviously upset at my decision. I don't think I'd go back to this location. read more

I thought this was a nice place, unfortunately my insurance wasn't accepted there so I paid out of pocket (No biggie). The two ladies there were super sweet and nice! They made me feel welcomed and didn't rush me. I never wore glasses before and didn't know what I was doing but they took the time and explained everything to me. I placed my order for my glasses on 03/01 and expected to get them on 03/15 but got them on 03/07!! That was quick and good timing! I'll definitely come back if I need a new pair of glasses. read more

Stanton Optical - Glasses selection - Optometrists Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Give Whit and the gal working the glasses Monday at 12:30 (3/3/25) a raise! They were amazing!! I almost switched to a different eye dr because happy valley Stanton was awful! But they changed my mind and gave the best customer service I've ever seen. Thank you for helping me with my contacts! read more

This is a different experience as the technician was not actually on site or in the room with you. You're basically on a zoom call with them and they electronically control the room remotely. When you go to pick up your glasses, they hand them to you. You try them on she says looks good and you're done. They don't do anything to adjust them or look at the fit, which will not bring me back here in the future. I have kind of a small face and I usually need some sort of adjustment which I'm going to have to apparently manage on my own. I do like the selection that I chose. People are fairly nice inside, but the process doesn't work for me. read more

You know what. Everything about this experience was great. The ladies (especially Sara) were so so nice and so sweet. They tried really hard to get me the best price for my contacts/glasses as they could. Very quick and efficient too. Thank you ladies! read more

Very happy with Stanton Optical. My prescription was done with a remote optician, but my eye health exam was done in-person and my prescription feels great. Selection was rather good, a nice variety of prices. I usually go for conventional frames but I got something a bit more striking this time and I'm happy with them. Staff was very friendly, both over the phone and in-person. Very satisfied with the experience. read more

I really enjoyed my visit. I see other reviews about the impersonal outsourcing of the actual doctor and I agree it seems like a glaring matter of cost cutting and is a bit odd to me, but also, what do you really expect from a 2 for 80$ deal? I think which glasses qualify for the deal could also be better explained. I ended up paying much more for 1 nicer pair, but I'm fine with that bc it's still cheaper than what I would've paid even when I had visual insurance!! I am very anxious when I go for eye exams but the technician was really down to earth and funny. Also they didn't have to dilate my eyes which was great but used something else involving a light. Their glasses selection wasn't bad. It's obviously not super high-end, but again, it's not really supposed to be. I will likely come back and have my old frames get new lenses at some point too. They charge a 25$ fee for bringing your own frames but that isn't so bad. The manager was FUNNY AS HELL and explained a lot of things to me that my old office didn't, especially regarding transition lenses etc. I never felt rushed, it was clean and chill, and honestly way better than I expected it to be. I really appreciate the people who work there, even if the telehealth doctor is a little weird (and I didn't mind insanely because every in person eye doctor I've had was an asshole!), but it did make me wonder what happens if someone has eye questions or needs...it would've been very hard to communicate with him and I couldn't always understand him and it definitely seemed like outsourcing. All in all the store itself was GREAT. The staff at this store cannot change or control the company's way of doing things and ultimately they were so fun and human and cool that it made up for the other stuff. I will definitely go back in the future, I felt that they were transparent with prices and weren't trying to rip me off or be shady and actually seemed like they wanted me to get the best bang for the buck, which is certainly rare these days. read more

I have all but good things to say about Stanton Optical. The virtual eye exam was quick and thorough. The staff is amazing! Professional kind and went the extra mile to make sure I had a good experience. read more

I buy all my glasses at this specific location because they have really good customer service. I drive all the way from Vancouver Washington because I actually get treated like a human being at this store. I've been coming here a few years and the people always remember me and they help take the misery out of glasses shopping. As an added bonus, they always work with me to get something stylish but also affordable. Not to sound preachy, but glasses shouldn't be a luxury item when people literally need them to see. The empathy and compassion I've been shown at this store is something I'm hella grateful for. I had some glasses made elsewhere that had the wrong base curve and I had no idea how to describe it other than "I can't see when I wear these glasses"...... the original place that I got them at ended up getting pissed off at me and accusing me of lying and didn't help me at all. Then I randomly ended up at this Stanton optical and they were committed to figuring it out until I could actually see out of my new glasses. ((Turns out I've got special eyes that are abnormally flat, and I never would have known that if the people here didn't figure that out and tell me.)) Now that I have this information, I can explain exactly what I need and I can see clearly. It's lit. Shout out to Daniel & Mike? (If I messed up their names, my bad), but y'all are some nice helpful dudes and your employer should give y'all raises. Hella satisfied customer. read more

I brought my handicapped husband ( who had lost his glasses on vacation) into Stanton's for a quick exam and replacement Pair. We went in on the 1st of April and didn't get his glasses till the 30th. Im Not really sure how they keep in business, promising same day, free exam, and 2 pairs for 79. I expected an extra cost for the " progressive " lenses, but wait time is crazy. The staff were very pleasant but we will not return. read more

The nice, personal, service of a technician onsite is not to be found here, and, though it really isn't necessary, it's an indicator of why Stanton is so cheap, as well as open on Sundays: outsourcing technicians to the east (India?, Pakistan?). I don't know what the full cost of the exam and glasses cost - I know my co-pay was $249, as well as a 2 week wait for the glasses. It seems that there are only 2 people employed onsite; a receptionist who preps you for the remote exam, and a sales person who orders the glasses. Very impersonal, and a bit unnerving. And, the glasses frames that I ordered are about the same quality as the frames that I get with my $10 pair of reading glasses that I bought at the local supermarket, except that they cost me $140 at Stanton. read more

Worst service ever!! I had an appointment at 9:15 and just today at 9:08 get a confirmation email. The doctor arrives at 9:30 for her 9:15 appointment not even an apology, the staff working there seems to not know what they are doing. The receptionist gave me the impression she did not know about my appointment. When I get done with my visit the receptionist was walking all over the place not knowing where she was going, she knew I had to be at work at 10:30 cause I mentioned this when I notice the eye doctor was late. I waited and waited to pay for a visit which was a follow up visit. After waiting for the receptionist to charged me which she took forever just typing stuff on the computer I decided to just leave the money on the counter, she thanked and said have a good day, never apologizing for her tardiness nor for her incompetency. The doctor didn't seem very knowledgeable to me, last week I had a allergic reaction to my contacts, after a week using the prescribed eye drops, my eye seems worst, so this time she says "it looks like bacterial" so it looks but she is not sure!! I think I need to see someone more experienced!! read more

Stanton Optical - Confirmation at 9:08 for my 9:15 appointment - Optometrists Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

They addressed the issue of an overcharge after I started posting negatively but didn't care until then, and were flat out rude to me in fact. It was a nightmare dealing with them and my glasses still aren't right at the end of it all, which this is. I'd rather not even go back to discuss any of it further, and consider these hours of my life and the lost funds as utterly wasted, even beyond the visits to their office. I went elsewhere and recommend everyone else do the same. read more

Stanton Optical - Let's just insert this image in the dictionary under the word 'scammers' - Optometrists Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

I had been going to Vista Optical for years and could never see right with my contacts. The staff at Stanton were awesome. So helpful and the doctor gave me an exam and the contacts I got were amazing. I could read perfectly without using readers. I was driving my husband crazy all day walking around reading everything! I can't say enough great things about them! Thank you! read more

Bogo frames plus free exam, kinda awesome. About $99 and up for the lenses(prescription) and most likely get your glasses same day! I did. read more

Stanton Optical - Optometrists Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

We were looking to get our glasses. Walked into the store, there was one other customer there and two gals working. I handed my insurance info to the one not busy and was told she couldn't do anything to help me, I would have to wait for the other girl. We looked around for about 15 min until the other girl was done. She immediately began doing something else so I asked her if she would take care of me and she said right away. During our brief conversation another couple came in and both girls immediately went to help them leaving my stuff on the counter. A third girl came back from lunch and they told her to go get what they needed to check insurance. She came back in with a form that I now needed to fill out just for them to call my insurance company. I asked why I wasn't given the form when I first came in and they all just looked at me. No answer. They were too involved with the other customer talking about the traffic issues in town. I asked for my cards back and told them thanks for nothing and left. It was so rude to be ignored and treated like we didn't matter. I will never return and will not recommend this place to anyone. Your staff needs training or another job where they don't work with the public. We went to a smaller shop that was busy and was greeted when we walked in and taken care of immediately. Lesson learned. read more

My experience with Stanton would not encourage me to go there again. There was a great deal of waiting and less than friendly service. I did not find frames that I liked after my exam, so I asked for a print out of my prescription. One of the numbers was completely incorrect (I'm guessing a typo?), so when I sent off for glasses from an online company, they were far from what I needed. Disappointing. read more

I was able to make an appointment easily. My eye exam was quick but thorough and I actually got some assistance with picking out frames. Went back in 2 weeks to pick up my glasses and there had been a mistake. The manager, Trish, was very nice, offered a solution immediately. Could not be happier with Stanton Optical in Gresham! read more

Love that everyone was wearing mask they even take your temperature. Very clean and nice people helped me so fast I was in and out with in 10 mins if that read more

Everyone helpful and professional. Edward helped me pick glasses was so helpful and made me comfortable. Said would have my glasses in 7 to 10 business days. 19 days later I finally called and they were in sun glasses weren't sunglasses eye glasses were blurry. The eye exam was with a "eye dr" on a tv screen who was in Florida. Re did exam off a little. Two weeks later finally got after several calls to corporate. Still not great but will never ever go back. Horrible place. read more

My eye exam was done with someone on a computer monitor in I think another country or at least another part of the US. Definitely the most uncomfortable and impersonable eye exam I have ever had. This takes cutting costs to a new low. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the direction of the industry. I should have read the awful reviews before coming here, I feel incredibly stupid for not taking the extra five minutes to look. I just can't in good conscience take a chance here. No name brand frames is a huge red flag and the quality of the frames I did look at was really poor. I can't imagine any of them surviving more than 3-6 months of gentle wear. I am really upset that my insurance works with such a dreadfully reviewed establishment. Just can't take the chance, these are my eyes and the safety of others on the road when I'm driving. I will pay for another exam somewhere else as well. Also forgot to mention the staff members at the establishment told me they were unable to email me my prescription in PDF format which is another HUGE red flag for me. I will never come back to this place and I hope it goes out of business. It's really unfortunate that getting glasses feels more like a fast food transaction than an appointment or transaction with a health care provider. These types of places need to go by the wayside. UPDATE: Went to Costco and purchased two sets of Name brand frames and lenses with every upgrade for less than one pair of generic foreign made garbage frames from Stanton would have cost me before adding lenses. There's a better way! read more

What a rip off went here to get eye exam and glasses says two pair for 59 dollars or something close anyway !!! Was charged for two eye exams then payed almost two hundred dollars by the end of it !! Then waited over three weeks to get glasses .i will never go here again not to mention that the prescription is not right .go to America's best there price is what it says .they ripped me off I even got the cheapest glasses and still had to pay full price people beware they will rip u off read more

THANK GOODNESS FOR CREDIT CARD DISPUTES!!!! If not, I would be out almost $500 for glasses that worsen my vision as opposed to correct it. Instead, my bank chose in my favor after Stanton's only reason for not refunding my money was I was "still in possession of the glasses." I added where they neglected to that I did in fact still have the glasses....AFTER TRYING TO RETURN THEM TWICE WITH THEM REFUSING BOTH TIMES. Customer service is slow and if you tell them you're there to return a purchase, you'll be waiting another half-hour as they help people coming in after you. Horrible experience but thanks to charging it on my credit card, now have my money back and can order my glasses at America's Best where I've liked so far the knowledgeable and competent employees. read more

We drove 2 hours to get to your store. We live in Goldendale, WA and have enjoyed your staff the times we come on. I was so happy to see we didn't have to do the remote eye exam. It was nice to talk to the provider about a few questions I had. Thanks for helping us out!! read more

I appreciate your reply but what about our glasses we are now past waiting six months on....you didn't even offer a solution to that. Are children running this business? read more

I have never seen such a racket..... First he told me he could not read the prescription I had been given my my ophthalmologist....then he told me my insurance would only pay $150 and my balance would be several hundred dollars. I said I could not do that and he said my BEST option would to be have the eye exam with him and not run it thru my insurance then I would only pay $385 for a pair of glasses. I said I could not do that and he asked what I wanted, I said I have insurance and I want them to pay....he said GOOD LUCK, I LEFT. I then went back to the ophthalmologist who wrote the prescription and got all the bells and whistles on a pair of glasses for less than $60, my insurance is paying almost $800. The manager of the Gresham Stanton Optical could have had that money....but he was an ass!! read more

Absolute joke! The manager lady was a complete b*#$h to the workers and was snooty to us. There are 10 pairs of frames tops for the special. I never got a call saying my sons glasses were ready. After several calls made by me, I finally get told they came in 2 weeks ago. Never again and will definately warn others to stay away as well! read more

I brought my son here for the 2 pair of glasses for $60 and free eye exam, well didn't turn out that way. They make you prepay for exam and them explain how they will deduct it from the price of the "package" okay well, his eyesight is so bad they can't make his glasses for the special price apparently. Not sure why as I have a similar prescription and my glasses cost no more than his should. We ended going with a contact/eye glass combo for like $500!!! My mother paid because didn't have the money(neither does she though). I should have just walked out, I knew it. Well live and learn. His contacts cost $155 at most for 4 boxes online with no rebates. Next year I will just go see our regular optometrist and pay the office visit-way better value that way. Total rip off. Do Not do it! read more

If I could rate fewer than one star I would. Please don't waste your time or money going to this place for glasses. They claim you get two pairs of glasses for $59.99 plus a free eye exam. It's a hoax, don't believe it! It just says that to get you in the door! Once inside they immediately go to work doing nothing but up selling. For myself what was supposed to be $59 quickly escalated to $500! I was using health savings account funds that were wiped out with this one purchase because of an old game of bait and switch. Lastly, they are way under staffed. I went in for some simple adjustments to my glasses and waited 40 minutes before an associate could assist me. There are far too many reputable optical shops in town. Please visit them and stay away from Stanton Optical. read more

Great place to get glasses fast! Got mine same day! Very friendly and professional staff. Clean and comfortable! I Recommend going to this location. read more

This place is a scam. They get you in the door by advertising 2 glasses for $59.99 but they only have a handful of those to pick from and they're ugly frames. They do have buy 1 get 1 free frames and we chose to do that instead but then when it came time to pay they doubled the price somehow. I complained and almost left so they adjusted the price back down to normal. I don't feel they're running a fair business there. I found America's Best to be the best for sure read more

I am really not sure where to even begin with why this place is horrid! Called and book an appointment (specifically asked if they take our insurance and he told me absolutely) Went to appointment 15 mins early Nurse proceeded to tell me the prices and I informed her that we are fully covered by our insurance which I had just called my insurance 20 mins prior to walking in and verified all our coverage. This is when everything went down hill She looked at me and said "oh you have insurance" Well yes isn't that a good thing I said She had me fill out a form and told me she had to verify all my insurance before I could go back. And I told her "absolutely I completely understand" She picked her phone up and before she dialed the phone number she says to me "man I hate insurance companies before you know no one will take them" So sorry to inconvenience you ma'am was my first thought! She proceed to not dial the phone and got up and went in the back where I could not see or hear her. Exactly two minutes later she came back to me telling me our insurance doesn't accept them (which remind you I had just called insurance and verified everything) She told me that I would have to pay in full and they will give me a receipt to send to my insurance. I told her that just the day prior the person from her company whom I booked my appointment with specifically stated they took my insurance! She then told me that all the customer service reps are trained say that! I was completely blown away!!!! I then proceeded to get up and tell her I WILL NOT be having my eyes checked here and I want the piece of paper with all my information back! I am not blaming her for the lack of training this company gives their customer service reps that is the fault of the company. But I am blaming her for her poor attitude when I stated I had insurance. Her comments were not needed. It makes me completely sad that our health Industry can not be trusted! People please with any health provided out there double check everything! read more

Before I get started...I want to notate that I completely understand that we are ALL going through CoVid19. However, I work in the medical industry and this by far was my worst experience thus far since the Pandemic. I want to start by saying I had an 11:00 am appointment and was the last person out two hours later, absolutely ridiculous. The Staff did not use any sanitary gel, wipes or otherwise the entire time I was there. I was given a box to put all the glasses I touched into, so they could be "sanitized" later. However, you could clearly see customers trying on glasses and putting them back on the rack and some glasses I looked at had fingerprints all over them. No "social distancing" was even being done because Stanton Optical allowed "walk-in" customers which at one point had at least 15 or more people in the small eye-glass area. I was so mortified by what I had experienced here last week that I almost left (and should have) for my own safety and even had a panic attack on my way home. This entire visit could have gone much smoother had they "not allowed" walk-ins and had one-on-one customer care (from start to finish) and since I did have an appointment. I know there is a State Wide Mandate by our Senator but if we don't follow just simple guidelines...WE'LL NEVER GET BACK TO ANY KIND OF NORMALCY! Shame on you Stanton Optical for not taking my safety and the safety of others seriously, including your own. read more

Love our glasses for myself and my son. Plus can't beat the price for paying out of pocket.
