America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

I went in for the $ 69.95 deal with free eye exam promotion and while the doctor them self was nice that’s about as far as I can say. The selections of frames are low quality and this is just basic frames. Not including any scratch proof or anything that would be $ 170 so that’s where they get you with the «promotion». I was told they would be ready in a week, fast forward to the next week (I went on a Monday and called the following Tuesday) all I got was «when the shipment is in we’ll call you.» Ok… so 2 days later they call me once I speak to them and confirm my glasses are in and then I get 3 automated calls that they were ready. I come in to get them and they basically hand them to me and say «have a good day» could I try them on? See if they fit? I was annoyed so I left. About 2 days later I go back in to get them adjusted and on one pair she adjusted them so much they look basically ridiculous. My mother in law worked at a optometrist and advised me the way they did this was not professional. I’ve never been here before and I thought I’d try, I should have listened to others and not came here. The staff isn’t friendly, their frame selection is weak, and I would rather have spent money elsewhere.

Very professional and nice service is what I got when I came here. The place is still fairly new and it’s clean and spacey inside. My son didn’t need an exam because it’s only been a few months since his last one so we came to get glasses only. He picked out 2 glasses for $ 69 and we upgraded the lenses to anti glare for an additional $ 69 so including taxes it came to $ 149 for 2 pairs. I’ve went to other places and have paid more than that for only one eyeglass. I got a call 6 days later that his glasses were ready for pick up. Exceptional Service!!!

Earlier this year, before I started Unilocaling on this website, I went to my eye doctor to get my checkup. At my doctor’s office, they have an optometrist there and will make the lenses for the frames which I was going to do; however, the price was absolutely prohibitive. At my eye doctor’s office, I was told that the lenses alone on my new prescription would be $ 495.00; that did not include the frames. I took my prescription from the optometrist and left. I was stunned that just the lenses would cost that much by themselves and thought my eye doctor’s office might be running a scam of some type. My insurance paid for my check up, but I had to pay out of my pocket for the lenses and frames. I thought, OH HELL NO! and KISS MY ASS CUZ YER NOT SCAMMIN ME. I was mad and shocked that just the lenses would cost that much.
After that, I went to another company (which shall remain nameless) and was told that the lenses would be just a little less. I took my prescription and left that one, too.
Finally, and I mean finally, I went to this America’s Best store because it’s a short distance from my mother’s house where I had lived at the time, and went in to inquire about getting my new lenses and frames. Boy am I glad that I did.
I was waited on by a very helpful person who explained to me what they had and how they basically worked with sending the order out for lenses to be made. She was polite and friendly even though she was waiting on several other people at the same time because that day, they were rather busy. I was not pressured to pick one set of frames over another, and they were very helpful with the questions I had about different frames and how long it would take for my new ones.
What I appreciated was that my glasses that I ordered were so much more affordable and less expensive that those other two places. The whole entire amount was $ 311.68 which was a lot less expensive than at my doctor’s office or the other place that shall remain nameless.
I was pleased with the service, happy with my new glasses and left satisfied that it was more affordable than the other places. When it comes time to get new glasses again, I going to go there again.
