    Buy one get one free is very misleading. Cannot read the rules for getting one pair free. The cost for the glasses are very expensive. Even when using insurance. Wish I went elsewhere. The price of the frames should include the price of the lenses.

    Westminster md office gave me bad prescription, wrong measurements and extra thick lenses despite paying for the thinnest. Tried to get this fixed by rechecking eyes but dog was choking and had to take to emergency vet right before appointment. As usual they didn’t answer their phone. When I got through to supervisor she acted unprofessional over an emergency and said I’d just have to return the glasses. Don’t go here. They are complete idiots and those above them don’t care.

    Been going here for years and have been getting treated worse and worse every single time I come in. It's gotten so bad that I've finally decided I'm done. The glasses I was given last year just recently broke because they were put together incorrectly, resulting in one of the tiny screws completely breaking in half. I took them in and Kat assured me she could fix them. She couldn't. And on top of that, she broke off the nose piece and left 2 scratches on the right lens. She just shrugged, handed them back to me, then said I'd have to order the same replacement frames online. She would not help me get the broken frames replaced, explaining that since I had had the glasses for 1 year and 3 days, I was no longer covered by damage protection. That sucked. 1 year and 3 days. But it just wasn't her problem, it was mine.

    On top of it all, I came back next week for my appointment, and she didn't even remember me, asking about 2 times "have you ever been here before?" while checking me in. And when I told her I bought my own frames, she tried to upsell me on frames from the store so badly that I almost just left without getting anything at all. Still waiting for the new glasses to come in and I literally feel so much dread that these ones will have the same problem. Downright the worst experience I think I've ever had. I have never felt so dismissed and ignored. Done with this place.

    Went to to Visionworks for the first time, used my insurance only to get glasses that I could not see out of. Went back and let them know I could not even read the street signs. I was told "once I go to sleep and get a good night's rest, the glasses would work better" (you can't make this sh...up!). I have never heard anyone say something like that. Went back and was told the frame was too big for my prescription! (I have prescription sunglasses bigger than the frame I chose that are fine.)

    I went back and picked a smaller frame. 2 and a half weeks later...right lens fine, left lens couldn't see anything. At this point, clearly they don't know what they are doing. I was asked to take off my original glasses so they can look at the lens and compared them visually to the new glasses and said they are the same! Bewildered isn't even close! What amazed me the most was the chart and dotting the lenses and matching progressive lenses to an eyeglasses chart I guess you can call it.

    At this point, I'm agitated and frustrated. I just want my money back and to be able to go back to my original optometrist. Again I am frustrated because I asked them to call the insurance company so I can go get another exam elsewhere (my regular optometrist of 30+ years) and they refused. They used my insurance and refuse to take accountability and reverse the insurance, so now I have to pay out of pocket. I tried to give them a chance because I moved over 50 miles away from my doctor, but now I am willing to take the drive. I did return the glasses by the way!

    I have worked with Nicole for a few years now. What started off as a friendly "How are you doing" has become, "Hey Good to see you guys!" She is my go to technician. She is so patient when I'm picking out my glasses as she knows it really takes me a while. When I come to the table with way more than I'm purchasing She has me try them on and gives recommendations on how they Fit/look. I appreciate the honesty. She is able to multitask without making you feel forgotten in our busy branch here in Howell NJ. She helped my Autistic grandson in choosing his best fit and boosted his confidence. She suggested sunglasses for him since his vision has not changed and insurance just about absorbed most of the cost, we were able to achieve that.

    Now he will sit in the front seat with me while driving, not being bothered by the sun. We enjoy baseball and few other outdoor activities and now with the sunglasses we both enjoy the games so much better. Transition lenses are fine but this is 100% better. This was my 1st time purchasing outside of my Rx plan using the offers from the store. Nicole helped my save money by tentatively doing the numbers to help save cost with all the additional things I needed (Progressive Lens, Scratch coating, etc). I ended up buying 4 pair for myself and 3 pair for my grandson. 7 pairs all under 500 dollars (I did save for this purchase and Nicole worked around my budget). 3 pairs were covered under insurance. I now can switch my frames to match my mood and outfits, who knew that simple joy was waiting for me to find? NICOLE!!

    They are extremely slow. Only two people working, and when I was there only the man was helping customers. The woman was just speaking on the phone all the time. Choosing the frames was easy.

    I must take a moment to share my fantastic experience with the entire team at Visionworks in Dunwoody. It’s not often that everyone on staff stands out—but at this location, they truly do. The staff was professional, patient, and genuinely kind, from scheduling my appointment to walking out with my new prescription. They went above and beyond, helping me understand my options and working hard to find the best possible discounts. When I thought I’d have to go to another store to get my contacts and glasses, they made it happen on-site, saving me time and money. If you’re looking for a new optical location, I highly recommend checking out the incredible crew at Visionworks in Dunwoody. You won’t be disappointed!

    What on earth is this company and how has it remained in business for this long? Customer service is horrendous. Once I arrived at their North Providence, Rhode Island location I was told 5 to 10 minutes before optometrist could see me. No problem. It became a problem 70 minutes later when optometrist came out, noticed me and told me she didn't know I was there! She did a complete exam but unfortunately NOTHING was changed from my previous exam... Prescription was exactly the same! I had been recently diagnosed with diabetes and my eyesight had got worse and I told the doctor that.

    Afterwards I told the sales associate I did NOT want any up-selling done. Guess what..? I found out the "free" pair of up-sold glasses were not free! I attempted a few times to fight that but to no avail. After all the up-selling the guy at desk that was sizing my main pair of glasses with a heat gun didn't know what he was doing. I know from personal experience how heat guns work (apparently he didn't). He kept heating and talking then asked me to try on. Still very lose/More heating and talking. This time they were more tight but they also left a minor burn mark behind right ear!

    I told the guy that maybe he should have called out sick that day and he got pissed at me. He asked me if I'd like to try out his job! (I told him "gladly, at least I'm familiar with what I'm doing"). All in the end I had to go to a different optometrist a month later and doctor there questioned me where I had been previously. I told him and he shook his head and kind of laughed. Pretty sad. This new optometrist hooked me up with a correct fitting pair of progressive glasses AND a very discounted pair of cool prescription sun glasses. Thanks for nothing Visionworks!

    Updated on 04/22/2025: 04-21-2025 Response from customer service: "We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience with our Phoenix location. Our goal is to provide exceptional customer service and we are sorry this was not the experience we'd hope to provide. Unfortunately, Visionworks does not offer a warranty after one year from the date of purchase. Your feedback is important to us, We will be escalating your concerns and feedback to our leadership team to address this internally." Thanks for making me hate this company even more.

    Original: I had one of the absolute worst experiences ever with both the quality of the eyewear and customer service. I purchased frames and lenses on 4/16/24. 4 months later, I noticed that the edge of the lenses looked like there were small white dots that within days grew into bigger cracks along the edge. After the manager at Visionworks examined the lenses, she said it was not my fault and they would send them back to the lab to have the lenses replaced. The manager mentioned that the lab messed up and something was done incorrectly when they cut and shaped the lenses.

    The lenses were OK for another 4 months until they started cracking again on the edges. Visionworks replaced them a 2nd time at the end of August. On 4/18/2025, almost a year after I received the glasses, the cracking started again in the corner of the left lens as shown in the picture below. Clearly, Visionworks has issues with either the quality or extremely poor technicians who keep repeating the same mistakes. When I went into this Visionworks location, the "optician" looked at the lenses and said he had no idea why they keep doing this. It could be alcohol or what was used to clean the lenses. I stated that this has happened 3 times with these lenses and frames and I have never had any problems with any other glasses doing this in 40+ years since I have been wearing glasses.

    I have been cleaning the lenses with the cleaning products I purchased at Visionworks. The more I talked to this joke of an optician, the more I realized how useless he really was. They should not let this moron even speak to customers. He quickly escalated the situation by looking up my information, then saying he could not do anything since I purchased the glasses a year ago. I asked him why he would not do anything if the glasses/frames are clearly defective or something has been repeatedly been done incorrectly in the lab. He had no answer and just smugly smirked, saying "sorry." I will never go back to Visionworks after this experience. If they cared about their customers at all, they would take corrective action with their labs and poor staff. The time and stress dealing with this horrible place is enough for me to tell everyone I know how bad they are. Just look at the other negative reviews regarding their lack of customer service.

    Friendly staff and good prices. Unfortunately, the progressive lenses I purchased were the worst pair I have ever bought. I have purchased about 10 previous pairs of progressive lenses and none of them have had such a poor field of view as I moved from distance vision to near vision. The distance vison on the lenses is excellent, but the near vision is poor. The progression to near vision focus is noticeably different between each eye.

    This is true. My second eye glasses were made wrongly in Willow Grove PA. I had terrible headaches and big pain in my eye balls. Then, in North Carolina they made a new lens. Then I went back to PA. I felt better but I still had headaches. So a smart incompetent employee instead of verifying what was wrong with the glasses just bent them visually making a small radius. Well, I could not wear the glasses and I can not wear them. The cost was about 800 dollars with medicare insurance. After all I can feel that they are incompetent people and they just try to make the 100 days over and then costumers in my case keep the stupid glasses and they kepp the money from Medicare companies and some from us. Never again in my life I will go to this "vision does not work at all". They are incompetent crooks at least to me.

    I visited Visionworks in Kew Gardens New York on 3/1. I went in for an eye exam. I knew I need glasses. When I left my eyes were burning and blurry. The doctor put a bright light in my eye and told me to hold my eye opened for what seem to be a ridiculous amount of time. I instructed to her that I had very light sensitive eyes. But she didn't seem to care. Now all I see is floaters. They did the eye pressure test about 6 times in a row. Just kept blowing air in my eye. When taking eyes test and they bring down the machine and flip lenses. She did it so fast I couldn't focus.

    This place seems like there a scam and don't care about their customers. Now i have glasses that appear to be to strong for eyes because they hurt. So now I am going to have to make an appointment with a specialist to see if they damaged my eyes. I have reach out to customerservice@visionworks.com 3 times since and nothing. Maybe Jim Eisen should be made aware of the people he has working under him. Or maybe this is a direct result of his leadership.

    It has been over two months now, and I am on my third pair of lenses, and they are still wrong. The first pair was awful, couldn't see anything... wasn't even close. Maybe a mistake- because things happen- and I understand this... no problem. They took those pair back after a week, and made me a new set of lenses. 2 weeks later after receiving the 2nd pair, I was still unable to see. I returned the 2nd pair also, and at this time, they said I would need to redo my eye exam to verify the prescription was accurate. I said ok, as this sounded reasonable to me. So, I had my 2nd eye exam the following week. I had a very detailed discussion with the doctor, and he said they made a few changes. I said OK, and eagerly awaited my 3rd pair. I had believed when he said "some changes" that that had meant they found a problem or had fixed something.... but no.

    I thought we had solved the issue and went home. After a week or so my third pair arrived. I went to pick them up and new immediately that this was no different.... It was the same bad prescription. The lady who had handed me my glasses had given them to me, but had turned to help another customer. That's fine- no problem. I sat there for some time waiting for them to return to me, but she did not. I just got up and left... because they were a little busy and clearly they were unable to fix the issue right then and there so, I thought I would just call and talk to someone. Well-- have fun with trying to get someone one the phone.... Be patient and eventually you will, but it will take some time. It took more than one phone call. When I was able to speak with someone a day or two later, they became short and snappy with me.

    Now some background. I have been wearing glasses for all my life, and have always had regular eye exams, with updated prescriptions over the years.... so this is not a new process to me. However, I have never had to have a pair of glasses made 3 times and still not be right- not once ever! At this point, I will just eat the loss, and not return. The staff seems unsure of what they are doing, an hesitant to honor their 100 Day Guarantee. I do not often write review- good or bad, but this place has made me feel inferior and that this is my fault, rather than the glasses. I advise anyone reading my review to go elsewhere for your eyesight needs. This place has been nothing but a total and continual disappointment.

    Visionworks in Niles at Golf Mill just called to tell me my son's frames which we bought through Ray Ban a few years ago for $285, and we just wanted the lenses changed out to his new prescription... Their lab lost his frames, and they have no liability. They are offering my son other Ray Ban frames for him to choose, but I have to repurchase. Seriously! One little waiver gets them off from reimbursing or comping a replacement pair of frames??? Which on further investigation, most vision stores do not send Ray Ban frames to their own labs, because Ray Ban prefers to have them sent to their labs due to their guarantees and familiarity with their product. So, now we are out the cost of two sets of frames and already 3 weeks since his eye appointment, very unprofessional and very bad customer care.

She seems to have hate issues towards some people she does not like. I do not recommend this store. Customer service is not priority there.

    I came to Visionworks in November, 2024 to have my eyes checked since my vision is not clear. You never see the doctor in person. She stated she saw signs of glaucoma and cataracts and stated not to get new prescription filled but to go get tested by a specialist. After 3 hrs of testing and spending a lot of $ I was told that I do not have glaucoma and as far as the cataracts go to have the eye dr tweak my prescription and to continue to wear my glasses and to come back to Raleigh Optho for recheck in a year. On top of that when I got home and looked at my receipt it was all the information for a totally different person. So much for HIPAA.

    I called requesting a copy of MY receipt be mailed to me. After viewing the receipt there were several things stated in the receipt that are totally false. I called yesterday to ask to get a copy of the prescription mailed to me and Jeanna, who was extremely rude and continued to cut me off said they can't send anything via mail, even though I received my receipt via mail. I called back today to request the dr. give me a call back and was told it would be some time next week. They really don't care to assist me so that I can improve my vision. Now I will have to pay again to have a real eye doctor properly exam my eyes so that my vision can be corrected. Furious at the service I received from the doctor and the customer service I have received each time is unacceptable. My vision has gotten worse but yet she decreased the sphere in both eyes. I want a complete refund!!

    Took my ophthalmologist's Rx to Visionworks. Ordered bifocal glasses. Got progressive by mistake. Corrected order was poorly made. Bifocal insert is high on the left. Went to my ophthalmologist to examine the glasses. UNBELIEVABLE! THE FRAME IS TOO SMALL FOR MY FACE. The bifocal inserts are incorrectly placed too high. The left bifocal is higher than the right. The index of the right lens "jumps all over the place" indicating inferior glass. I was told by the "company man" to wear the glasses lower on my nose. Outrageous!

    My experience at first was great. Got my glasses. Paid over 450.00 with half off. Decided to check out the features so I went for a walk. It was awful I couldn't see the sun was so bright. I had all the extras added so this was disturbing. Well they are not sunglasses so I figured I'd wear them in the car. Same thing I was blinded. Yes they get dark, yes I have anti-glare. Standard. So back to the store I go for QA session. I have no expectations just after info.

    The girl informs me I do in fact have anti-glare and transitions. She says, "I don't know what you want, I can give you your money back." My question would have been, "What are some suggestions so I can get the best glasses for my dollars." She was super loud, embarrassed me so I said, "You're not helping me and I'm leaving." So she says in a REALLY loud voice with a store full of people. "HAVE A NICE DAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS."

    It was condescending, rude and a statement to let all her customers know I'm the problem. When what I needed going forward was some advice on glasses. So for future purchases. I'm no wiser. Later when I called to talk to the manager she answered and said she was the manager, we talked again. She accused me of yelling at her and hung up on me. How can questions turn into this? I've gotten nowhere and the entire episode left me in tears of frustration. My time and money spent, wasted. A pair of glasses that don't perform as expected. My experience awful.

    Some of the staff is very rude and condescending. Hanna in particular. She measured my segment height incorrectly on the first pair. They were way off. When I returned, they re-checked and remeasured and ordered another pair. When I arrived to pick them up, Hanna was the associate again. I asked that the They be adjusted as I have a very low, to non-existent bridge plus a lower ear on one side. Her response was 'they look pretty good'. When insisted that she at least adjust for the lower ear causing glasses to fit crooked, she grabbed them and began twisting the entire pair instead of using heat on the arm to bend it and only it down.

    When I asked, she seemed annoyed and barked 'this is how we do it'. Now I have had glasses for many years and that is not how most do it.

It was from the Rand Institute, one of the leaders of eye care in South Florida. I NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH NONSENSE BEFORE! I asked then for the optometrist to "read" the glasses I was wearing.

But I called my insurance and they told me the funds should be refunded immediately after they file the claim so maybe it takes 30 days for them to give a Damn and actually file the refund claim.

    I've had problems every time I've gone here, so it took me years to make an appointment, despite needing one desperately. Beginning 20+ years ago when they were making defective lenses but they could only replace them within 6 mos, though admitting they were defective... That's how they do business! That pair of glasses cost me around $800, so... As they're the only ones who accept my insurance and I can't do an online eye exam I had to make a ridiculous 1 hr trip, and get a remote exam which involved at least 4 people and a couple of hours. How is this efficient? The visit took over 3 hours. In spite of the on online and in-store ads that you get a free pair of glasses when you buy one, they said it doesn't apply with insurance. That's opposite of the ads. I also wanted to know how much certain upgrades would cost - they said insurance would pay nothing if I did that - never heard that before!

    After this nightmare, I'm having car problems so I can't pick up my glasses made by 1970 standards so I asked them to mail them. "Sure for $25," he says! I said, "That's ridiculous!" "Shipping is expensive," he says, as if I live in a cave. I buy everything online, so... I tell him they don't weigh 25 lbs. They can ship them to a closer Visionworks (free - this isn't shipping?). If there was a closer one, I wouldn't have driven an hour to get there! It's not for their exceptional service! I've paid out-of-pocket for my last 3 pairs of glasses online. It's a fraction of the cost (including shipping) for glasses with every option. The customer service is 100% better - including assistance picking out frames when you can't see without your glasses!

    This place can rebrand 1000 times, but they only get worse. They're dishonest, overpriced, the customer service is non-existent and the multiple optometrists (how many Visionworks optometrists does it take to complete an eye exam?) are a bit incompetent. I've worn glasses since I was 4 - some 56 years - and never been asked which eye is dominant. One is about 4x better, you tell me! Of the @10 people I encountered there, one was helpful and not robotic.

    Save yourself a nightmare. Get an exam and go pay for your prescription elsewhere. In spite of my poverty, it wasn't worth getting a crappy pair of glasses paid for by insurance. I rarely leave a review unless it's outstanding but they worked overtime for this one. Insurance companies: stop rewarding bad quality by forcing patients to get substandard care at patient-mills getting rich for incompetent care!!

I returned to the store and was told the rep and her manager made the decision because they “thought I would need more of the lens for distance.” As the glasses are progressive, this decision left only a small sliver of the lens at the very bottom for reading. As a result, when reading or doing close work, I have to remove my new $350. Visionworks glasses and put on my $12 reading glasses to focus. Thanks a lot for nothing!

    Went to Visionworks in Kingston NY 12/12/2023. I have been going here for years as has my husband. I gave them my insurance card, picked out my frames with upgrades to lenses. I'm diabetic so I see a regular Ophthalmologist and they give me my script and I use my vision insurance to purchase the glasses. I was charged $295.00 copay which I thought was high but thought copays had changed. Picked up my glasses right before Christmas. In January I received a bill from Visionworks for an additional $199.98 and realized they had submitted the claim to the wrong insurance company because the company was named on the invoice. I immediately called and got the rudest representative on the phone. Was told they would correct it and resubmit to the correct insurance company. Told it would take 30 days.

    Needless to say, it is May of the following year now. It took them over two months and multiple phone calls (they refuse to speak to me) from my vision plan before it was finally submitted and I was once again told it would be 30 days before that process was completed. The eob comes, I see my copay was $20.00. I call to request my refund of $275.00. I was told they would have to issue a new ticket number to authorize me getting a refund and it would take 30 days. I guess they thought they could keep that extra money and I would just eventually give up. No.....I called again.

    My insurance company called me a week ago Friday (April 16th, 2024) to tell me Visionworks informed them a check was being mailed and I would receive it within a week. That week passed last Friday. I phoned my insurance company today and Visionworks informed them that this would have to be taken care of at the store manager level and they would call me in 24 to 48 hours. What???? What happened to the check that was being mailed? This is absolute theft. They have had $275.00 of my money for almost 6 months and just give excuses and lies.

I cannot believe that Visionworks would risk my twelve year old's eye health for profit! They are aware that we are buying glasses elsewhere and would rather lose customers instead of providing needed information. It is a shame but I am leaving this practice due their greed.

    On Friday, Mar 17, 2023, my son and I had our last exam at the Visionworks in Seekonk, MA. At the end of that appointment, I made appointments for the following year for Monday, Mar 18, 2024; for which I received an immediate text confirmation. At the beginning of Mar, not remembering this appointment, I sent a calendar reminder for myself, for Sunday Mar 10, 2024 to try and schedule annual exams, for my son and myself. On Sunday, Mar 10, 2024, when accessing my phone and computer, to schedule an appointment, I discovered the existing appointment, eventually discovering a pair of text messages sent Monday, Mar 4, 2024 to confirm our Mar 18, 2024 appointments.

    I immediately confirmed and received a reply of receipt of my confirmation. As a single parent with a very busy job who gets many, many text messages per day, it is not uncommon for some to be overlooked. On Monday Mar 11, 2024 I received two text messages confirming both appointments, for my son and I, on Monday Mar 18, 2024. Knowing this was coming, I arranged to take time off work, and arranged my schedule to be able to take the time off. On Thursday, Mar 14, 2024 at 5:19 pm I received a call from the Visionworks Seekonk office informing me that my appointments had been given to someone else.

    When I asked why I was given a very disappointing excuse regarding poor computer automated scheduling systems. It was offered to “try” and contact the individuals to whom my appointments were given to “try” and correct the situation. I expressed that try doesn’t help me when I’ve already made arrangements and “try” doesn’t guarantee anything. I ended the conversation and contacted Visionworks customer service to submit a complaint. After completing the complaint, I reviewed my text messages and discovered the pair of text messages from Visionworks on Monday, Mar 11, 2024 confirming the Monday Mar 18, 2024 appointments.

    I again contact the Visionworks in Seekonk, MA expressing additional displeasure with the contradiction of a cancelled appointment and confirmation text messages. The customer service representative, who identified herself as Shea, in a very condescending manner, again blamed the poor computer scheduling system. I expressed my position that, since this was the fault of their scheduling system, I believed the correct course of action would be to contact the individuals to whom my appointments were given, explain the error and return the appointments to me; not “try” to get the individuals to give up their appointments. Shea claimed that she never said “try” rather that she would (an inaccurate claim). I accepted her assurances that the situation would be corrected however, prior to ending the phone call Shea stated “I’ll see what I can do”; a statement which I informed her did not leave me with much confidence.

    She called me back at 6:46 pm Thursday, Mar 14, 2024 and informed me that my son’s appointment had been restored but, that she was waiting to hear back from the other individual concerning my appointment. At this point, I have no assurance that I’ll get complete resolution and do not understand why I do not simply get my appointment back leaving the notification of the other individual to follow. This entire situation is very disappointing, from the way which customer service handled the error to the unsatisfactory “one missed text and my appointments are given away”. At the VERY least there should have been at least one other attempt to contact me. Visionworks needs to correct what is clearly a serious problem with their scheduling system. Regardless of the final outcome, I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future, and ensuring I relate my problem to as many others as possible in the hopes others can avoid such a fiasco.

    It was a very disappointing experience working with Dr. ** and Dr. ** at Visionworks Garden City. They don't care about you or have any patience at all, they just want your money. Dr. ** did not check my eyes for contacts and used the same prescription as my glasses which was also taken from my previous prescription. During the follow up visit, I mentioned that I was not able to see with contacts at all. Dr. ** replied that, "Contact lenses are not as good as eyeglasses, and you would not be able to see letters, and you can leave because I have another patient to see." If this is the case, then what is the point of getting new contacts in the first place?

    It is only Shelly who is good in that office, she is very experienced and polite, and she is very good at her job. As a matter of fact, Shelly asked Dr. ** a question: "Are you going to change the prescription?". Obviously, this is not my first experience with Vision works, but it is clear that they do not care about clients at all. All of their locations have employees who are unprofessional, and they never fix the problem.

    Visionworks does NOT stand behind any frame they sell. Good Frames should last for many years. Their frames last 6 months to a year. This probably would be why they only give 90 days. A Company who believes in their own products they sell would have no problem giving longer warranties to their clients.

    I am an adult male who has been going to Visionworks in Binghamton or Vestal NY for my eye exams and glasses for almost twenty years. Their selection of frames used to be extensive but, since the VSP acquisition in 2019, the number of frames available has diminished considerably. I used to have trouble choosing among the many frames I liked. Now I'm happily surprised if I can find one frame I like. On occasion I have had to settle for the frame I dislike the least. I like my optometrist, they accept my vision insurance, and my wife and I have been very happy with some of the staff, but I certainly wish they would increase the number and variety of frames available, especially for smaller heads.

I left and attempted to wear my glasses. My vision looking straight was great however if I looked right or left it was so distorted. I could not drive with them. I allowed a day thinking I needed to get used to new prescription. I ended up taking them back where I waited over an hour while the person researched the problem. She kept saying "I don't see a problem. Are you sure it's your glasses?" I explained there is a problem. She took my glasses assured me I would receive a call back the next day.

    On the 3rd day I called them and was informed they are making me a new pair in which they did not rush knowing I had no other glasses nor call me to follow up. I spoke to them about getting a refund. I was told when these come back "Fine. You can have a refund" then rudely said "Is that it"? I ask when can I expect the new one. The response I received is "I just said next Monday" and "Bye" disconnecting the call. I was offered to come and pick up the original glasses (the ones that I can't see out of to use until my others come in).

    Nothing is worse than walking into a place of business, where you have spent hundreds of dollars, seeking customer service and being treated like you've done something wrong by coming back expecting the store to honor its service policy. To top things off to be given conflicting information when you go to address this issue and be confronted with a passive-aggressive rep trying to intimidate you and being confrontational. I won't do business with this place again. It's clear to me that there is something very wrong at Visionworks and that you cannot trust them as well.

    In Aug 2023, I went with my daughter to check glasses for herself and myself. We checked for both the glasses and finally selected only for my daughter. The frame also was a girls one. Michael Kors. But while booking the person mistakenly considered my prescription and my name (as both prescriptions were near her) for the frame we chosen for my daughter. And I just paid amount and took the envelope with me. When I got message to pick up the glass I went there and checked for her name and they searched and did not got any. My daughter was totally disappointed and I later got her another glass in Vision works in Fair oaks. Since I did not took glass for this year, I went to book my glass during Dec end in Fairoaks Visionworks, they said already my insurance is used for another glass which I had no idea.

    Figured out that the Herndon Vision works actually booked earlier my daughter glass with my name and my prescription. When I went to the office and explained, they said it was my mistake and could not do anything. Still they said they will check with manager and come back and it's already 5 days over no news about it and already it's 2nd day of new year. So basically it was mistake of the person who entered details, booking her glass under my name -so now it's of no use for any-my daughter cannot use as it's my prescription, I cannot use as it is spectacle is for girls. I will never visit Herndon Vision works anytime.

    I am a returning customer of this company and I purchased two pairs of glasses on 8/01/2023, one of which included a warranty. I picked up my glasses around the 11th of August (8/11/2023). However, one pair has unclear and cheap-feeling lenses, causing me to constantly wipe them, and the vision focus is off. The second pair is also unsatisfactory.

    Upon reading the warranty terms, I discovered a 100-day guarantee, and I realized that I was within the 90-day window for an exchange. When I inquired about exchanging the pair I did not like, one of the employees was willing to help, but her manager intervened, stating that the guarantee period starts from the day of the order, which would put me outside the guarantee timeframe. I expressed my confusion and dissatisfaction, but the manager was unpleasant and began to ignore me. I threatened to contact the corporate office, and while they promised to address my concerns, I have yet to hear back. It seems that this company prioritizes profit over customer service.

    Ramon (**) helped us to purchase the glasses and he was good. Anthony offered the worst customer service that we ever experienced when we went for pick up. He left the case with the new pair of glasses inside in front of my husband, crossed his arm and just stood there, which was signaling us to help ourselves. My husband opened the case, saw some oil stain on the lens so took out the cloth to mop the lens. While this Anthony was still crossing his arms and not saying or doing anything, my husband tried the glasses on and then shared his concern about the loose of the frame. Anthony then opened his mouth, told my husband (in his 60's) to shake, nod, shake, nod, shake, nod his heads couple of times, then said the frame could not be fixed and we should take the glasses to Shoprite for repair. He may be the boss or supervisor in this site (zip 08540) because his "absolutely-care-for-less" altitude can turn whoever comes in to the store away.

    It took me forever after exam to choose the glasses I would be ok but from the choices I was already disappointed. I needed them very badly for two reasons, Mine had been broken and super glued and soldered and they broke again so I desperately needed to be able to see. Secondly, I got a new position at work and was constantly on computer and couldn't read fine print at all.

    The exam was great and after finding two pair I could live with, even though not completely happy, I went with it because of the emergency of needing them. I expressed throughout wanting two pair and chose two sets of frames. One pair was just for back up and added transitional for main pair. I expressed I needed two because being honest I am horrible with them and I work in a warehouse so just needed back up and even paid extra for insurance in case they break.

    One pair came.. I picked up and I asked when the other pair would be there. They didn't know. Two weeks later I call to check and saying I didn't get two pair. So between me and my insurance company we paid over 900.00 on one pair. First I was told I was told something was on back order and I said no ma'am. Then I didn't pay. The lady who checked me out knew I wanted two and never said I wasn't getting both. Rip off and I might be blind but these glasses will be going back. Don't go here!! Please go elsewhere.

To reschedule to an appointment that actually makes sense. I asked her if she realized that this process is not Customer Friendly. I explained that I had taken leave from my job, driven there, just to find out that I did not have an appointment (in person) but it wasn't canceled either.

    The call was 39 minutes long including the hold times; the person told me she was unable to contact anyone at the store and I told her that I would not be back in the area for a week (my work takes me out -of-state a lot) and did not want to drive 40 miles each way to get my glasses and I would like them mailed to me. She ASSURED ME that the glasses would get sent the following morning (Friday). On Friday afternoon, I called the store to verify the glasses were sent and the clerk knew nothing about it and told me, quote: "We don't mail glasses--just come pick them up." I told her it was not possible to pick them up for another week and I would like them mailed because that's what the customer service rep and I agreed on. She repeated herself saying, "We don't ship glasses; you'll just have to find time to come get them."

    So I called the 800 number and the representative said she would straighten it out and get my glasses sent on Saturday. On Saturday afternoon I called the store and was told the glasses would not go out until Monday because nobody could take them to FedEx. (??) On Sunday, my wife canceled her afternoon clients and drove 40 miles to the store AND THEY WERE CLOSED! The sign on the window clearly says 10AM to 7PM Monday thru Sunday. On Monday, I called the store and the person who answered had a horrible snotty attitude towards me and said that my glasses were mailed 'overnight' and she said she personally gave them to the driver. I did not receive them Tuesday. I did not receive them Wednesday. I did not receive them Thursday. (Thursday was Thanksgiving). I did not receive them Friday.

    I called the store and the 800 number and asked for a tracking number. No one can supply me with a tracking number.??? I will continue to post this review on every social-media site (Yelp, Reddit, Angie's List Craiglist, Facebook, Twitter, all the eyeglass competitors' sites) until I receive my glasses, a protracted sincere apology from a live person, and a refund due to my extreme aggravation. Do not choose Visionworks; go to Sam's Optical or Walmart or Eyeglass World or Pearle Vision or Lenscrafters or anywhere else.

    Repeat customer went to get new lenses put in a pair of frames I had purchased there a couple years ago and wanted to buy a full pair of glasses. I was told I couldn't use BOGO for the lenses, I had to buy a whole pair of glasses which is crazy as I was saving VWorks money by providing the frames. With insurance, BOGO, other promotions, the cost for a pair of glasses and a pair of lenses came to $840.00. This was after a faceless voice behind a door said I could indeed use BOGO. That means $840.00 for one pair of glasses with frames that were about $120.00. I went to another optician and got new glasses and the lenses I wanted for $600.00. Customer service at VisionWorks did not care, not even the 800 number. I will no longer shop there. 15 months ago, customer service was excellent. It's really too bad that has changed so much.

    This was our first and last time buying eye glasses from Vision Works for my husband and I. They tried twice to get my progressive glasses right and I totally gave up and just went with just reading glasses, which was not what I needed. Then, we paid extra to get scratch resistance which was a total waste of money. My husband's glasses got scratched so we called them and they said we did not buy the warranty. So why pay for scratch resistance glasses? We will not ever use them again.

    I had my eyes checked for new glasses at a Visionworks location after checking with them to make sure they were covered by my insurance plan. I was assured that I was good to go. The people involved in the exam, frame selection, and order placement were professional and efficient. When I paid, they pointed out that the charge reflected the discount due to my insurance coverage, so I was good to go--until I wasn't. On the day I expected to get the glasses, I instead got a notice that my coverage was denied because Visionworks was in fact NOT covered by my insurance.

    After spending a lot of time on the phone and even more time at the Visionworks location to resolve the situation, I got a full refund, but it made me wonder about their business practices. It seems like they just blithely assure every customer that their insurance is good, and then deal with it when it blows up. Maybe it works for them because enough customers just pay the price, but even those who don't still pay with the time lost in dealing with the hassle of getting a refund, along with having to go through the bother of getting glasses somewhere else. If it's not a deliberate part of their business model, then their business still reflects some pretty poor management of insurance processing.

    Original review: I purchased pair of glasses at Visionworks. After a month and four visits to try to have them adjusted properly, I finally gave up and returned the glasses. I was told they would send my insurance company the $200 that was covered toward the purchase. It's been 48 days, and several calls to both the insurance company, the local Visionworks store, and Visionworks corporate. Nothing!!!! Because Visionworks has not retracted the money to the insurance company, I cannot go elsewhere to purchase another pair of glasses. I am 76 years old, and have a Medicare Advantage insurance plan. In my opinion, Visionworks is guilty of medicare fraud. I would like to file a fraud claim against them, but am not sure how to do it. These people are incompetent at best, and possibly unethical and fraudulent as well. Stay away from Visionworks.

    Also had issues with glasses. The frames were warped/shrunk when I went to pick up. They ordered new ones. When those arrived they said they needed to get new lenses so I had to then wait for those. It was almost 2 months before I finally got them.

    I went to the VisionWorks in Frankfort, KY for a standard eye test and new glasses. First, they try to sell you items deceitfully. I was ordered bifocals and they talked me into "digital lenses" which I was told meant the bifocal would go from one side to the other so you aren't missing any text. This was incorrect and when I picked up my glasses and noticed this was not true, the person who sold them to me gave me shrugged shoulders because he didn't have bifocals - he just knew people liked them. Also, I was sold "smudge-proof" and when I went back in, the manager said it wasn't smudge-proof, just dirt resistant.

    I have to return my glasses 4 times to get the bifocals in the right place so I could see without getting nauseous. These are the worst glasses I have ever had. I couldn't return them because my insurance was already processed and going to a new place would cost more because of the benefits taken at VisionWorks. My son got regular glasses (no bi) and his glasses are fine. I wholeheartedly do not recommend VisionWorks if you have bifocals or anything difficult about your prescription. After my third trip in, they had my vision checked to make sure the prescription was right and the Doctor treated me poorly as if I was questioning his ability.

    I highly recommend this place as they have a good selection, good prices, and courteous professionals people. My husband and I have bought several pairs of glasses here and have been back for adjustments etc. However, they need more staff... It is always very busy and you feel rushed because I believe the staff feels rushed to get you done so that they can more on to the next customer who is waiting. If they hired more people it would make this great place even better!

    When I needed new contacts I did a lot of research and I found that Visionworks had the best reviews. I ordered some contacts through them and within 2 weeks I received my contact lenses and I could not be happier.

    Very unprofessional and rude staff. Don't know what they are doing. I ordered contact lenses for three of my kids. Did not call me when they received the lenses. They handed me out the boxes without any name on it so we could not figure out whose lenses is whose. Refused to hand over the contact lenses of my third kid saying that, "We cannot give you contact lenses until you see the doctor" (Which I already paid for) instead of handing me over and advising that I bring it when I have doctor's appointment. During the same visit, I asked for a eye exam for myself and I was told I am not eligible, a complete mishandling and inability to do the job. Wonder if doctors are also same. Will never take my family there anymore and will advise the same in social media where I can.

    I ordered glasses with transition lenses after my eye exam. 1 week later picked them up and they did not have the transitions coating, would not darken in sunlight. I told the girl at the front desk that I ordered transitions lens and she insisted I did not. I told her the girl who actually took my order wrote transitions on my order and showed it to me. It was clearly written on the ticket. She asked if I had the receipt, I did and looked at it only to see that the 1st girl had given me a printed receipt with the total price only, no itemized details of my order. So the 2nd girl told me if I wanted transitions I would have to pay an additional $90. They are dishonest, shady and crooked. Still waiting to see if corporate will return my call.

    Visionworks gave my personal information to an email marketing company. I was shocked to get a 'Happy Birthday' email ostensibly from a local Visionworks store where I once purchased eyeglasses. Not only was this an insincere greeting - generated from a database by a mass mailed - but it was an extraordinary invasion of my privacy. I used my own doctor - not theirs.

    Visionworks insisted I had to give them my birthday for a *MEDICAL* record. They misused it. Visionworks gave my personal information to Solutionreach.com, a Utah company that offers to "Take Control of your Patient Relationship Management with Custom Email, Voice & Text." I already had told Visionworks that I did not want an email address used for any purpose other than to alert me when the eyeglasses were ready for pick-up. I only gave them an email address because the pandemic still rages. Solutionreach uses multiple domain names to circumvent spam filters including remindmemd.com and smilereminder.com. What a violation.

    I have been a long time customer of the Rochester, MN store so went again for an exam & new glasses. The exam seemed fine. I was told I would have my glasses back in 2 weeks. I checked the status progress from the email I received but it was never updated - always said "Pending". On the due date, I called to make an appointment to get them but was told the glasses were not there. I asked the employee to call the company to get the status on them. She said she would & call me back. I was told this several times but I only got 1 return call after I got very upset & the glasses were finally at the store.

    I wore the glasses for 1 day before going back & getting a refund. I wear lined trifocals. Everything was still blurry looking in the distance. When I looked thru the center section, objects were leaning at a 20 degree angle & one side of the computer screen was closer than the other side. I had to take my glasses off to use the stairs as each step appeared 2 feet farther down than it really was. Driving my pickup made me feel like I was driving a semi. I used my own frames so only purchased 2 lenses, which were $424.00. I expected quality lenses for that amount of money! I got a refund & will never go to Visionworks again.

    Absolutely awful treatment. I made an appointment and waited for the appointment for three months. I arrive for the appointment and I am treated as though I have leprosy. They were rude we’re not there to help me and greet me for my appointment it was more of an interrogation. Come to find out they gave my appointment away. I called corporate headquarters spoke to two different people who I thought were going to help me. They set up an appointment one week later at their Airport Road location.

    I called To confirm my appointment two hours prior. I arrived 15 minutes early as instructed and was left standing on the sidewalk in the freezing cold because I wasn’t on the list. I called the manager while standing on the sidewalk. Shortly after the door opened and I was permitted to enter. The person greeting people rushed me like a linebacker with the thermometer shoving it in my face which is the same thing that happened at the Easton location the week before. Virus or no virus no one has a right to forcefully enter another’s personal space especially during a pandemic.

    The person in charge of the office realized who I was because the manager had called him and came over to the table to sit with me to fill out the paperwork. I attempted to start doing that and then I was being hovered over by the door greeter with a bottle of hand sanitizer. I was then told that I could either do this or wear gloves. So I chose to get up and walk away. However I was locked in the store and could not get out. This is a fire hazard. People could die at Visionworks all because they are paranoid. Don’t get me wrong the virus is nothing to take lightly. But abusing another’s personal space during a pandemic is unacceptable. I would not ever recommend Visionworks to anyone not even a homeless person.

During that time the one employee was rude and disrespectful to the other employee. The doctor was very nice. Two weeks later we come back for our scheduled appointment to pick up the glasses. We get there and they have no idea where our glasses are. The one staff member asks if the other staff member had finished unpacking the stock and she dismissively answers that she doesn't know. 20 minutes of searching and they can't find them, they think I'm ridiculous for expecting them to have canceled my appointment and notified me.

    They had no idea when my glasses will come. They were rude and disrespectful and never even apologized for my inconvenience. Any phone call to the location goes unanswered, the nationwide phone number goes unanswered, the chat feature is a bot not a person. Visionworks does not care about the customer and will happily steal your money and be rude to you as they kick you out the door.

I cannot call them, because they will not answer their phone even after numerous attempts. I have actually been told that no one can answer and call back at another time. I have tried to make an appointment on their website because that is where they direct you to do ANYTHING. I was able to, but now need to change it, and can't. Website not working. I tried Live Chat and it said sending message and will get back to you when they are available. So much for the "Live" part. I just don't know how to deal with a optical store that has ZERO customer service.

    Plus I would like to thank them for teaching my 19 year old daughter a very valuable lesson. She went by herself for the first time for her eye exam and then they took advantage of her inexperience by having her order new contacts, and new lenses for both her glasses and sunglasses for a minimal .25 adjustment. Cost us hundreds of dollars even with insurance. Since she likes the glasses she picked out a year ago, they charged her an obnoxious amount to replace the lenses for the most insignificant change in prescription. This company really shouldn't be in business any longer.

    She went and worked on them and returned to let us know they were cooling down. She also adjusted my husband's glasses. She noticed they were too tight on the sides and she loosened them a bit. Then she returned with my sunglasses and they fit perfectly. She told me not to leave them in the car for the next few weeks and I told her that I never leave them in the car so that's not a problem.

    It made me frustrated as it was not mentioned during my first visit when I selected the most expensive features. As I badly needed an eye glass for computer, I agreed without a fuss to purchase another one for occupational use. I will caution all those who are thinking about getting progressive lens.

    In March 2019 we decided that we would try VisionWorks (Hendersonville, TN) since they had the BOGO promotion. However when we tried to order our glasses, we were not eligible for BOGO because we had VSP insurance. However my husband and I both purchased 2 pairs of glasses. Our out-of-pocket cost for my husband's regular glasses was almost $435 - just for the one pair. It was less than three months when his glasses snapped into. We took them back and they did replace them. Then approximately three months after we received the free replacement pair, they snapped at the same place again - so we had to pay to have the frames replaced. It has now been three months since we paid for the replacement frames and they have snapped into at the same place.

    You need to understand that my husband has worn glasses since he was in grade school and he has never broken any glasses - he even played sports growing up. Obviously there is a quality control issue, but it does not matter. If we want new frames - we have to pay for them again. Oh, by the way when we had to pay for the third pair of frames, we did try to find some that his lens would fit - but they did not have anything that would work. So we chose to go with just replacing the frames instead of both frames and lens. It is now time for our annual exam, needless to say we will NOT go to Visionworks for our glasses.

    I have been coming to the Cumming Visionworks store for over the last 3 years and doing my best to put up with the piss poor and unprofessional customer service and today I finally had enough. The office manager constantly complains about employees, customers, and her workload every time I visit. She is loud and rude and always quick to tell customers what she can’t do. She just got off the phone with a customer looking to book an appointment and she complained that they didn’t want to do it online. She told her associates not to take appointments unless the person is elderly or doesn’t have a smartphone. She alleges it is to help the customer and it helps the associates. EVERY time I come in the store she claims they are swamped and understaffed when I have only seen 1-2 customers max. I guess that doing your job and providing great customer service would get in the way of her constant complaining about customers and others.

    The sign on the door says No appointment necessary, however, I always get turned away when I come in as a walk in. Today I came in at 10:56 am and today’s excuse was that the doctor had to take an early lunch although they had a cancellation and could have fit one of us in (prior to consulting with the doctor). Who knew that taking an early lunch was a greater priority than taking a paying customer. Friends and neighbors of mine have been telling me to ditch this place for years and I tried my best to bear through it, however, they have made it crystal clear that they don’t care about my money or anyone else’s for that matter. Time to take my business America’s Best who has great reviews for customer service!

    Dec. 18, 2019, approx. 1:30pm. Visionworks store in San Tan Village, Gilbert, AZ. Female manager on duty was rude and incompetent. I was there to pick up a set of new lenses. Manager smirked and told me I was in the wrong store. I insisted I knew my lenses were in this store. After much fumbling and smirking, she eventually found my lenses. She never offered to check my new lenses for accuracy or fit. I left, without this basic check process, just glad to get away from this negative atmosphere.

    I just spent $225 on new glasses at Visionworks. Hanging over my head was a sign that read, "Buy one pair get another pair free! All glasses! Really!" However, I was informed to check out that my glasses didn't qualify. All glasses? Really? You might want to do your homework first, and spend your money with a company that is honest and will treat you with integrity!

    VISIONWORKS in Burnsville Minnesota Complaints December 17, 2019 about 5:00 pm. I was at the Vision works in Burnsville Minnesota yesterday. I was there to exchange my glasses because their location has more than the Eden Prairie. I walk in to exchange my glasses. I was greeted by an older lady. The first thing she says, after I told her where I live is, "Eden Prairie is closer to where you live. We don't have your paperwork. I will have to call and get it". At first she said, "You will need to come here to pick up your glasses", until I advised her that wasn't true. I went over and look and the glasses waiting for her to come over for about twenty minutes, she finally came to help me, I didn't even get try a pair of glasses on before she got up and left saying she would be right back. She never came back. She started helping customers and never came back.

    Another employee name Danielle came and sit down. Says, "If you decide to order glasses here let the other store know so they won’t order the ones you pick out". There are seven or eight pairs of glasses on the counter. She didn't ask me to try on. She just kept her head on my paperwork, after a few minutes she says, "I will put these one that you put on the other side back". She get up, walk away and never come back.

    I am sitting there in disbelief that I have been treated this way. This women start help other customers getting their glasses, helping them with the size sitting, talking and laughing. The older lady on the phone, another worker walking around on the one side of the store. I have been there for about an hour taking notes. The older lady was leaving. She stop on the way and says, "Did you find what you are looking for." I look her in the face and said, "You gotta be kidding" and left. If this isn’t discrimination I don’t know what is. I know I am not the only person of ** this has happen to, please comment if you also experience this. These employee clearly need diversity training on how to treat people of ** and other background.

    Thank You,

    Been to Vision Works in Gainesville, GA. I had to go back 3 times and still my glasses are not corrected properly. First time, my immediate vision was horrible (unable to see computer screen). 2nd time, my distance was more like my immediate and my immediate was more like near distance. 3rd time, is worse than the 2nd time. I have emailed the company but never got a response. I highly recommend not going to Vision Works, at least not this location.

    I found out when I arrived for a 9AM appointment that others had been scheduled for the same time slot, even though there was only one optometrist. After more than a half hour past my appointment time, I saw that one person with an 8:30 appointment was still waiting. Since the place doesn't even open until 8:30, it was clear that these people had no respect for customers' time; their practice is to over-schedule to maximize profits. I left, found a better place nearby that actually tries and succeeds in keeping their appointment times.

    My actual visit in the store was pleasant. I asked before leaving do the glasses ever come in early, she said yes I could check back in a week. I waited 10 days and called... the lady checked and picked up the phone and rudely said they are back and aren’t due until the 14th. There wasn’t any reason to be rude.

    First time to get my eyes checked in a long time. The wait was very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Sarah did an exceptional job answering my questions. She was very professional. The eye Dr. ** was very informative. He took his time with me, I didnt feel rushed like most doctors. Very Professional doctor. A big thank you to the team at Vision works.

    I am a previous customer, so my prescriptions were on file, but when I stopped to get a new pair of computer glasses, she kept going back to the e re errors on my pair from earlier this year. I stated that was the company's error with the bifocals not being the same size, nothing related to what I need today. She then got up to call my optometrist to get my prescription, but they were closed. While she was at the counter, she then proceeded to help two other customers and make me wait. When she did finally come back, she stated they could do nothing for me today, with an attitude! I won't go back!

    I had an exam and ordered the glasses my Medicaid would pay for. What a Letdown when I tried on my new glasses! I couldn't see thru them if I shifted my eyes even slightly to the side. Then they explained that the digital lens was much better, and for only 275.00 more I could buy them. Baited and switched! The cheaper 290.00 lens only allowed for a usable area on lens of less than an inch???? This is also Very discriminating for poor people like myself. If you can pay an extra 290$, you can see through your new glasses. Lousy company.
