The selection of men's glasses were ok, but I managed to find something that'll make me look young and cool. I wasn't aware that your glasses be ready on the same business day and you'll receive a text once it's ready. Customer service was good and my only complaint is that the parking lot is small which you have to be careful coming in and out.

My experience with this company was not good. After several…read moretries they told me they didn't have the capability to cut the lens to match the frame on my almost $900.00 pair of glass that I had picked from their inventory. My glasses had to be reordered twice after I received the original pair. The first problem was the lens did not fit the frames, there were large gaps between the lens and the frame. Then the next time they got my prescription wrong. They came back with the correct prescription but there was still a gap between the lens and frame. I do not recommend buying from this company.

My daughter appointments never take drastically long. The different frames to choose from is wonderful. My daughter loves a variety of glasses and Schaeffer has the best.

I was shocked. I was going to mention this to the doctor but when the doctor came in, they seemed in a rush and truly didn't even greet me kindly. I was a new patient so I expected atleast a small introduction. I mentioned to the assistant about concern with floaters and the doctor didn't go over that. It all seemed rushed and no true concern.

My husband and I rushed to this branch as soon as I got off work on a Friday evening to get his eye…read morepressure checked due to a recent eye emergency the required him to have his eye pressure checked within 2 days of leaving the ER. When we got to this store the lady said he would have to make an appointment bc the Dr was leaving soon and couldn't see him that night. Fine. We made the appointment for the next morning for the first available (11:40). He received a text with a link to fill out his paperwork for the next day, but the link sent him to an error page. The next day is the Saturday that storms were due to hit the area after lunch. I drove my legally blind husband and 4 kids (ages 6-10yrs) to this location for an 11:40 appointment to have ONLY his eye pressure checked. We chose this location because we were leaving there to spend the rest of the day at my parents house who live 3 min down the road and have a basement/storm shelter. As much as I hate being late for anything, we walked into the building at 11:53. My bad, but it's just eye pressure, takes 2 seconds, shouldn't be a problem for their flow, and wasn't worth the stress to me of trying to rush 4 kids and a blind man into my car to make it on time. When we arrived, it's obvious that bad weather is rolling in soon due to the temp, humidity, and the insane wind and dark clouds. All 6 of us walk into the store together and I walked up to the counter to check him in. I told the girl he was scheduled at 11:40. She looked at me with a disappointed face and said they had a 10 min policy and he would have to be rescheduled. I should note that there was one other person in the store and we were still well within his appointment block at the time. I want to say (but I'm not positive) that she told me the next appointment was either Monday or Tuesday at 2:20. I work 75 miles from home. I can't take him during the week. Anyway, I told her again that he was only there because the ER told him to get his eye pressure checked within 2 days of being discharged, he couldn't see well enough to even complete an entire eye exam, and if they couldn't "work him in" then I'd have to take him back to the eye ER in Birmingham to get it checked that day. This employee actually said to me, "Mmmm, yeah, the eye hospital might actually be your best option." ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! So, you see a blind man and his 4 young children walk into your store less than 2 hours before tornadoes are due to start popping up all around the area and you're going to tell me that driving him and my 4 kids into the city to go to the EYE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL is my "BEST OPTION"?!?! What is a 10 min policy anyway? Most places that even have one are 15 min. And how would we even know there was a "policy" if the link they sent didn't even work? We will NEVER step foot in that store again. I promise. We went directly to Target at the other end of the shopping center, got a better parking spot than we did at the eye store, and they worked him in within about 15 min. No eye hospital required and my kids were able to wait out the storm in the safety of my parents basement. I have SO many more words to say about this place (or at least that employee), but I will keep them to myself. Ive worked in healthcare for 15 years (we have no 15 min policy) and if I was her boss, I would absolutely fire her if I found out about this. Maybe she's lucky that I don't know what her name was in case her boss agrees with me. She's not my problem anymore. 5 stars to Target Optical for saving the day.

They were supposed to mail me my contact lenses in 2025 and 2026. Each year, when I elect to have them mailed, the office sends me a text saying that they are at the office and ready for pick up. In turn, I have to leave work to get my contacts. My husband ordered eye glasses after his appointment, and it took them over a 6 weeks to finally locate them, after he had to continuously call to check on his order. In addition, my computer glasses still seem "off".....even after I provided them with the prescription from my eye doctor in Ohio. Although I'm pleased with Dr. McClintock and his professionalism, I cannot take the office staff being so unorganized. I'll be seeking a new facility for my eye care.

The design of the shop is quite funky and artsy (be careful not to fall into the pit!) and has all of the frames out so you can try them on as you like. I hate when all the frames are under lock and key; it really hinders the trying-on process. I checked out a couple of eyeglasses places in Birmingham and found myself drawn to the more obscure and unique frames at iiis. No Ray-Ban, Prada, or Vogue here. The ladies are all very nice and are very helpful and patient if you take hours to decide on your frames (ahem, me). Low pressure sales tactics. They are happy to help to find frames or if you want to browse solo, that's okay too. Plus they will even write down the glasses you're considering, both in their book and on a little card for you to take home. I'm not crazy about the location of Five Points but at least it's centrally located. iis is a little more expensive than what you might pay at other places but rest easy in the knowledge that you've got a very special pair of frames and are supporting a locally-owned shop. I did consider buying eyeglasses online but you just can't get personalized service like this online. This is great if you need adjustments later on. I'm very happy with my handcrafted-in-the-USA hipster specs!

It's honestly made me feel like they are either too expensive or sneaking fees in. One thing I did notice is that my insurance did not pay for a contact exam this year because they changed their price and my insurance only pays under $65, their price is over $70. Idk it was a punch to the gut, I had surgery on my knee and cannot work right now so I did not expect to spend that out of pocket. I have only spent $300-$400 in the past. They also could have told me my insurance only covered glasses every other year...I did get a discount on my frames but my glasses were still $300 something because of the lenses. I had 2 other pairs of glasses from them and showed them that I really didn't want the "thinner" lens, I am very familiar with how thick my glasses are and how bad my vision is. It just seemed like highway robbery, because I am legally blind so I have to be able to see. I am definitely going to shop around next year and get prices from other places before going back because a lot of the things from last year's receipt and this year's did not match or add up. I may even get lasik at this point, I feel like it would be worth it instead of spending this kind of money out of pocket when I have insurance. My vision insurance did tell me to contact my health because it may be deemed "'medically necessary" but I was a nurse for 15 years and I feel like that's something that the company should've done when they saw my out of pocket cost. Idk. I'm sad, I've always loved this place but I def cannot spend this much money while also paying for vision insurance.
