Came in with an appointment, so no wait. Great efficient experience with friendly service and no upselling pressure. Crystal, Angela & Jose were very friendly & helpful. Good selection of glasses colors and frame styles as well. Would definitely recommend to family or friends who need some new glasses or contacts. English or Spanish speaking as well. read more

Update to my Review from last February- As I said we NEVER saw a doctor. We saw technicians and people who received on the job training, as well as a video interview with someone who said they were a doctor and reviewed our computer exam. These people are DIAGNOSING and prescribing lens and glasses!!! After months of headaches, tests including an MRI, ER visits and a prescription without relief it was finally realized I have been wearing the wrong prescription since this HORRIBLE SCAM place saw me last February. Come to find out my husband's prescription (and very expensive glasses) were also wrong. I have made multiple complaints about this place to CA medical board. They should not be allowed to see patients when the doctor NEVER steps foot in the building! Unethical malpractice is the platform for this company ! read more

Nice and friendly staff. Glasses are good quality. Attentive and glasses arrived on time

I had an urgency to get my daughters visiting tested. I called up Staton and the person who spoke to me said there was an appointment available. I asked about insurance , and he said we don't take Insurebce but we give discounts to CIGNA. I very specifically asked him how much the test is going to cost and he mentioned since I'm getting a discount it's going to be $25. I reached the place only to find out that there's none physical Optomologist there. It's completely virtual. I wish I had been told about this before . When the time came to checkout , the lady at the front desk told me my total is coming upto $129.99 I told her about the phone call. She said with discount it's still $70. I asked her why I was given a false impression that it's $25. The only thing she kept saying is we have told our technicians to not mention that , but they still do. She said you can pay $70 or you can leave. I paid $70 as I needed the prescription. It's not about the money. It's about misinformation and manipulation for the sake of profit. They need to be clear with their customers. read more

I MUST give a shout out to this location they are always incredible and I have not put a review . I went in today due to issue I had with my glasses, JOSE was able to quickly solve my problem and was so kind and efficient in doing so. I felt he truly just wanted to make sure I was happy with the resolution. I've been going here for years. It's the only place I use and they're always helpful and kind and quick! I highly recommend this location everyone who works here is in incredible. THANK YOU read more

Waited an hour and a half for an appointment we had. We were the only ones in the store and we confused as to why we were waiting so long. Come to find out we were waiting for an optometrist to get online to complete the exam. THERE IS NO OPTOMETRIST ON SITE!! The exam was completed via video call. Once we were finally able to get everything done, we were told AT CHECK OUT that they do not accept any insurance. Had we known this when we walked in and checked in for our appointment we could have saved ourselves some time. read more

Amazing service with competitive pricing. Very friendly environment and quick. Highly recommend 10/10

They were great! They were able to help straighten out my glasses when they were falling off my face. Very friendly!

Glasses were not ready when promised. An attitude was had because I had a problem with this. Then the glasses are ill fitting in spite of going back for several adjustments. Coming up on new glasses time and I will be skipping this company for my glasses. Treat people right and they come back treat people bad and they don't come back. read more

I love Stanton Optical Vista, Ca. Great prices and great service. Angela has been helping me for the past 5 years. Crystal is a recent addition and is extremely knowledgeable and gives outstanding customer service. read more

I am literally sitting in the parking lot after my appointment writing this review. I just had the best exam experience!! The exam was quick and seamless. I didn't have my insurance information because I was unprepared and the tech was so kind and understanding while I looked for the member ID #. Even though my policy was not contracted we worked out a discount plan to match my copay. Then when I picked out my frames and lens, I was hesitant due to the prices but luckily Jose helped me find the best deal that worked for my situation!! Plus Affirm was offered to help with monthly payments. I am so great for my overall care experience. Jose deserves the biggest shout out for being patient with me while I stressed over the numbers, lol. Definitely recommending all my friends and family here!! read more

Amazing service and very helpful. Thanks to CC for making it easy to understand and very convenient

I loved the large inventory and variety of styles they offer! And the staff, particularly Jose and Angela, gave me professional and friendly service. Jose helped me choose a couple of frames that worked with the shape of my face and I came away very satisfied with the choices I made. read more

Crystal was incredibly helpful and kind. She went above and beyond for us. Truly grateful we got her for help. Highly recommend!

The optometrist there was so nice and professional. He got my prescription ready and had them for me as promised I highly recommend these folks at Vista location Thank you David D read more

Firstly, Leslie, you rock! Your customer service and multi-tasking skills are amazing. The entire process from beginning to end was seamless. For someone who needs just a simple eye exam and doesn't have any other issues, this place is perfect. They have many styles of frames that are decently priced and affordable. I can appreciate their setup and exceptional customer service, but I still need and prefer to see a doctor in person. read more

Jenna is so kind and professional!! She addressed all my questions and concerns with my new glasses. Definitely recommend going here if you want an optometrist that actually cares about how glasses fit on you and that you are seeing perfectly. read more

I've had a positive experience with Stanton in the past, but this one not so much. I called the store ahead of time to ask if I could be helped with my glasses I purchased there a few years ago so I don't waste my time. The store number took me to a call center that wasn't any help. So I drove over there to find out they only have a technician there until 3pm and not on weekends. I asked if I could leave the glasses there and have them fixed (the rubber nose piece fell off) and pick them up the next day. They said they couldn't due to liability. I asked about getting an eye exam since I was already there, but they can't do that in the evening as well. Whereas they are open until 7, it seems like they can't do much after 3. Maybe an eye exam before 5. This place isn't very conducive if you have regular work hours, even though it seems like they would be. They referred me to go to Oceanside or Escondido that have techs and someone to do an eye exam with later hours. Other than picking up glasses, I'm not sure what they can actually do until 7. read more

Professional , quick and amazing experience. The team seemed to really enjoy their job and making sure I had a good experience read more

Stanton Optical - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Vista, California

We had the BEST experience at Stanton Optical with Crystal and her team! My boyfriend needed new contacts and glasses, and I ended up getting a pair of glasses too because the prices were so awesome! Crystal and her team went above and beyond in making sure we got the best prices, and stacked discounts to show us the best options for our money. They were so kind and helpful, and we will definitely be back!! read more

Great customer service Vista! Zaira was very helpful and kind, made the process very easy. I am pleased with my visit.

I'll be honest, I didn't want to come here because of the bad reviews. Unfortunately, I broke my glasses today and fortunately I had a pair of new frames. I had the pleasure of working with Nathan, he was so kind and excellent customer service. Explaining all in detail. Was able to take advantage of their end of the year sale. And got my glasses same day! He was even so kind as to wait for me to arrive at the store. Amazing service! So kind and I wish him all the best! read more

So very grateful for all the Stanton representatives at the Vista location. I went in looking for a pair of glasses with some challenges: thin, progressive and transitional lenses. They worked to get me the requested pair and although there were some issues, they really worked with me to get what I needed. They are super friendly, accommodating, and professional. I so appreciate the staff and want to give an extra special "Thank You" to Zaira as she was amazing throughout the entire process. Highly recommend this place! read more

UPDATE: BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!!!! I reached out to the number provided by the owner and they weren't much help at all. They put me in contact with the vista location and the manager Nathan was combative, claiming everything on their end was perfect. However, no one went over results with my fiancé and I and our prescriptions magically got better than the last time we had our eyes checked by a thorough in person optometrist. We asked for a refund due to bad medicine practice and negligent treatment and Nathan just kept talking in circles about how their process is perfect. Do yourself a favor and pay more money for an optometrist and clinic that knows what the hell they're actually talking about. read more

Extremely deceptive business practices. They say the eye exam and one pair of glasses is free with the purchase of a pair, but that is not the case. You pay upfront for the exam, and they say you get a discount of 45$ back when you buy glasses... but there's no discount listed on that receipt. In the end, you are given two receipts- one for the exam and one for the glasses. That is clearly not free!! Other issues I have with this place include: - You don't fill out forms for your medical history; it's all verbal. That means anyone in the waiting room can hear them ask everything from your HIV status, to if you're pregnant, have diabetes, etc. - The doctor is remote and located in Florida. She does your exam via video screen. Overall, I do not recommend this place to others! read more

Nathan was awesome! I don't wear glasses very often but like to have a pair for when I need them. I always get ones I don't like just to get it done, but Nathan was very patient with me and told me what looked good and what didn't which is exactly what I asked hm to do. We found the perfect pair! Hopefully they will arrive in time for my vacation but if not it's my fault for waiting so long! read more

I had used Eyeglass World for the past 4 years but had some issues with them not standing behind their products in 2021. I needed a new pair of glasses for golf so I thought I would try Stanton Optical in Vista. That was a good decision. The store manager, Tom, was GREAT. He did all the pre-exam work before turning things over to the "Zoom" optometrist. Though I had never received a prescription this way, it actually worked pretty slick. Once they emailed Tom my prescription he was then excellent going over my choices of frames and lenses until we got it right. I ended up buying 2 pair and am very happy with them so far.....hopefully my golf scores will improve! Tom, thanks again for taking real interest in me and getting me the right glasses. read more

The nose grip on my glasses fell off. I didn't expect them to help me so fast. I was able to get a nose grip put on in less then 10min. My ray-ban glasses are like new again, thank you Stanton Optical team for your help read more

I left offended & like I seriously overpaid! I have rarely been as disappointed as a customer. You really have to watch the pricing and ask for discounts. They market buy one get one free. I picked out $49 frames- the first price they gave me was more than $800. Eventually they got the price down to just over $200 but the advertising is very very misleading. They have all kinds of "hidden " extra fees. It feels predatory- you think they are going to be discount but they are not! They said the glasses would be done in an hour but it took so long I had to come back. One pair was ready the next week- the other pair took 2 weeks. They told me after the fact (when I came back after a week) they had to order the lenses, they didn't know how long it would be. (My prescription is very mild.) The frame quality is very flimsy. They didn't fit straight- when I pointed that out the guy (& the manager) said my ears are crooked probably. I have worn glasses (sun & prescription) for 40 years & have never had that issue before! The other pair don't fit like that. I was rather offended by his condescending attitude. I can't imagine him speaking to a man like he spoke to me; Weird comments about my hairdresser & my ears. The quality of the lenses is disappointing & the experience unpleasant & the cost is quite high for what you get. read more

Horrrrriibble place, facility looks nice...but this is a perfect example of everything that glitters aint gold. All staff members unknowlwdeable and no one in building can authorize anything. Heres just a few of the things i saw during my experience; -my daughters had a eye exam scheduled, but turns out there was no optometrist ...they did it televideo with a "refractionist". I had a school form that needed filling out, but they couldnt complete it because ...well, no optomitrist was there so have to come back. The televideo thing may work, but would have been nice to know this when booking appointment. -another customer was ordering a pair of glasses he wanted in black. Jose...the guy helping him says "well the computer not letting me pick a color so we can just order it & hope for the best"‍‍wtf -another woman comes in saying "im here to pick up printouts of my records/test results, i just spoke w a guy named jose 10 min ago and he said i could swing by for them" ...other employee..guy2 says...well, we cant give u all that, just your prescription"...(meanwhile jose says nothing )...in end, guy 2 says ...i have to ask my boss for permission so u will have to come back. ....u get the point....try local...not corporate...in end corporate will always be corporate.. read more

Stanton Optical - Lens selection - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Vista, California

I hate to leave negative reviews but in this case there's no other option. Like others, if we could leave 0 we would. We stopped by Stanton because we wanted to check them out. We started here and couldn't find any frames he liked. We were sent over to the Oceanside store and again due to my husband's hearing aid we couldn't find any frames that didn't make his hearing aid have feedback. We opted for giving them his OAKLEY frames to have JUST the lenses replaced. And they LOST the glasses. We paid over $700 for those glasses and another $500 plus just for these lenses. They told us they could not refund us the money we paid for his Oakley's and they would give us a new frame. Hello that was the issue in the first place!!! Absolutely the worst experience ever! Now the only option is small claims court to recover the cost of the frames! read more

Great to work with. They spent a lot of time helping me select my glasses and I got them quickly. I'll go back again when my kids need new glasses. read more

I haven't bought glasses in 10 years, so when I walked into the Stanton in Vista, CA I had no idea what I wanted. Fashion and style have changed so much since 2010. The store manager, Jenny, helped me look at frames for over an hour. She was so patient with me. I also want to shout out to Keaton. I asked Jenny to pull smaller sizes and when I got there she had pulled 8 glasses for me. Even though Jenny was not there, Keaton helped me find 2 beautiful frames. Keaton worked very hard to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. I will tell everyone about my experience at Stanton Optical. read more

Another great experience at Stanton Optical! It has been a year since I bought a pair of prescription reading glasses and sunglasses. It's always good to have a replacement pair if you misplace your glasses! Manager Judy helped me and encouraged me to go more fashion forward with larger frames. The price was right and I feel stylish read more

Everyone at the vista location was just great, very reasonable, showed me the frames that where on special and explained all of my options well. so nice to see that customer service isn't dead everywhere, thank you all but especially thank you to Nathan that really worked with me to help me keep things affordable for me. read more

I don't usually leave reviews but this one is well deserving. I'm talking about their staff member Thomas! His personality and salesmanship has really been out of this world every time I get the chance to come in. He is patient with me and he is very kind. He will do his very best to get you out the door happy, satisfied, and feeling better than when you came in. He's always willing to fix my broken frames and definitely worth the wait! If you come to this Stanton, please allow this man to show you what great customer service looks likes! read more

I decided to try Stanton Optical in Vista bc I had issues w the place I went to prior. It was very easy to get an appointment right away and the staff was so helpful when I was choosing new frames. I appreciate an honest opinion when trying on frames as I am blind wo my glasses on. It was a very positive experience and I can't wait to get my new glasses. read more

The staff was very helpful as well as i enjoy the promotion of two pairs of glasses with an eye exam included. It was nice to have my eye exam done via video conference which was nice to cut back contact due to Covid-19 read more

My niece and I passed by Stanton Optical in Vista today after seeing a promotion sign in the window. We were greeted by a gentleman named Nathan who assisted us right away. He was extremely friendly, and helpful and the rest of the staff was very professional. Not only were we able to get exactly what we were looking for, but they were able to deliver the glasses upon purchase with extra added perks. Thank you NATHAN for making it such a pleasant experience!! We will most definitely be coming back! We highly recommend!! read more
