    They change frame styles frequently to always force the customer to buy new frames or go through the nightmare of trying only to buy new lenses. Few of the type of frames I like, I can't find them if I need a replacement. Using old frames and having them only cut new lenses took 3+ weeks and 2 tries. I expect the vendor to stock a wide selection of frames, to always maintain access to the frame I need for future replacements. Every vendor should accept every optical insurance plan.

    Had new lenses put into old but still good frame, and worked out great. Good value and fast delivery service. Only took a few days to receive my glasses, which was quicker than expected. They also had the option of home delivery if needed, but I just picked up at the store the following week when I did my next shopping.

    You choose which price you want and get quality you pay for. I buy the cheap frame. It's what I can afford. I go every year to Wal-mart eye doctor and have no problem. It's the economic place to go when you are on a fixed income like us.

    December 28, 2016 (1:30pm) - Taylor, Michigan Walmart Eye Exam. My husband and I stopped in to see about getting his eyes checked and getting him some eye glasses... but when we entered the Walmart's Eye Exam, the available optometrist greeted us with one of the most rude and condescending attitudes I've seen in quite a while.

    As with any business inquiries, my husband and I first approached the checkout counter to wait for assistance while noticing an optometrist was attending to a single patron seated at one of the fitting tables. Ready to wait our turn, we were caught off guard when the optometrist stopped and without so much as a "Hi" looked over at us and immediately asked us if we had an appointment to which we responded "no, but we were hoping to make an appointment".

    It was here that her demeanor took on a more than sarcastic undertone for reasons I don't know. But it began with her rolling her eyes at us, and using a very condescending voice, she asked "who's the appointment for?" to which I replied it was for my husband who was now standing close to my right hand side. The optometrist then fixed her glare at my husband and sarcastically asked him "Well, do you have an appointment?" to which my husband responded "No I do not, but I wanted to see if I could make one".

    Now obviously irritated, the optometrist then asked in a manner to insinuate it was a high probability he did not. "Well do you have insurance" to which my husband responded "yes", but I assume she did not hear him, because she then repeated her question somewhat louder, "Do you have insurance". And it was at this moment, I decided if this was to be the attitude and approach Walmart optometrists would be using in dealing with us as a customer, it was probably in our best interest to seek out another optometrist for a more customer friendly service.

    So before I would have to deal with any more underlying attitude and rudeness, I stopped her by saying, "you know what, Yes we have insurance, it's VSP Vision, and no I don't think we'll be using Walmart for our business as it is very apparent our service is not wanted here." And with those parting words we left the store all the while hearing the optometrist relaying comments of "who cares" and "go ahead" to the sitting customer she was talking to when we entered.

    So NO, I would not recommend Walmart as the place to go for your eye exam and glasses, or at least not until they learn the true meaning of common courtesy when working with the general public. Very dissatisfied! Shame on the Optometrist for her condescending and rude approach to two people who just wanted to make an appointment for an eye exam. Took our business to SVS Vision, who was more than willing to help us in a more customer friendly environment.

    Redlands, Ca. Vision Center. I am disappointed and displeased with the service that I received when I came into your store on 12/24/16 at 5:15 pm by Carolina. I approached her and explained that I had purchased 3 pair of glasses the day before. One pair for each of my daughters Angelia, Joecelyn and myself. However, I did not focus on the fact that I had a secondary insurance for myself on the day that I purchased the glasses and had to pay around $175.00 out of my pocket. I explained that my secondary insurance was Risk Management and that Walmart should be able to bill the secondary insurance so that the total cost of the glasses would covered. Carolina explained that she had NEVER heard of such a thing. She stated that, I would have to purchase a second pair of glasses to do that. I explained to her that I did not need a second pair of glasses and that this is accepted routine in the healthcare field.

    I ask her to contact her manager on call and ask him how to deal with this situation if she was not familiar with how to take care of the problem at hand. I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER IN THE STORE AT THE TIME. She stated "I do not have a manager to call. Don't you think they have days off." I explained "unless you are the manager of the day; there will always be someone on call that can assist you with problems such as this." She handed me a business card and told me that I can address this with her manager on Tuesday. I explained it will be too late then but at this point you can still bill the insurance. She stated the glasses have already been shipped. I also told her this is not the way to treat your routine customers. She offered me a form where I could fill out myself and take to Risk management.

    I explained that I can take my business elsewhere in future purchases that will bill my insurances without problems and that I will not be doing the footwork myself. Carolina was very unpleasant, unhelpful and appeared aggravated. I was the only customer that she was dealing with and she did not want to help me. She was unable to empathize and understand the meaning of $175.00 to another person and it is hard to believe that she would be left without a manager of the day to consult.

    In the last 2 years my family and I have purchased 5 pair of glasses, 1 pair of contacts and have been seen twice by a Walmart optometrist. I am requesting that she be reprimanded for her poor customer service and that action be taken to bill my secondary insurance Risk Management. I would like a written letter to explain how this was handled or in the future I will take my business elsewhere where they will take care of me like I deserve to be treated.

    Many price ranges and styles. High value for the economical price. A little too long of a wait for service, but good quality, selection, and prices. The glasses were delivered to store quickly after ordering. Why go to a higher-priced provider if you can get the same or similar frames for less?

    I've purchased eyeglasses and exam yearly without issue and very satisfied with the pricing and selection. At my recent appointment on December 13, 2016, the assistant went over my yearly review in which I explained a change from a work computer to a tablet that has less than 6 point type and my difficulties in reading the small type font and that I may be able to retain the desktop with validation. She had no issue and told me she would write it on the updated document if we need to reference as proof.

    I explained it was just a yearly check up and other than that everything was fine. I was very dismayed when taken back to the optometrist and the nasty demeanor I encountered. I said nothing about the tablet and said it was just a yearly check up for my year's new pair. He started by asking me to read the smallest type and when asked to cover an eye and read the smallest type and I explained it was blurry he became very rude stating my glasses were bent a bit and knocked the bifocal off.

    I tried to explain I had no issue at all with the glasses. He said I was banging up the glasses? Yes, I do wear them daily numerous hours which I'm sure they had wear but the glasses were far from "banged up." He said that he prescribed the highest lens and didn't know what I "wanted him to do." He said I had glasses of an elderly person. I said I understood but that I had no issues.

    He said there was nothing more he could do and again repeated "I banged up the glasses." I felt extremely uncomfortable with his condescending demeanor and false accusations. I already had chosen the frame, etc but was not pleased in the manner in which I was treated. I fear if I did really need to bring the glasses in for repair he would lash out. Not sure what I can do at this point?

    I have gone to Walmart located at 169 Norman Station Mooresville, NC 28117 several times for my son's glasses (bought about 4 pairs now) which are the scratch resistant, and transitions which are typically more expensive. Recently got him the transitions sport and they had a weird fit. I returned them and they were sure not to give me back my money but exchange only.

    I went there today and told the woman at the counter that I wanted to be measured so that I could get an idea as to which frames would work best. Her attitude was terrible; she didn't really want to help. She told me she wouldn't get to that just yet and that I needed to pick a pair first. She didn't seem too interested in giving excellent customer service nor did she think that I was going to get glasses. Because of her nasty disposition and unwilling attitude to assist me in picking a pair I decided to leave. Their whole staff seems to be a little money hungry which is in direct conflict with wanting to provide the best service. I will not be back at the Walmart Vision center for my glasses nor my son's; I'm done with bad customer service.

    I was very dissatisfied with my experience with Wal-Mart Vision Center. I started off with having my exam there. First they had trouble with one of the machines at sizing my eye. I don't believe my eye exam was the greatest. It was about 5 minutes and that was all. Not a very thorough exam. Next was picking out my glasses. I don't believe that anyone in the vision center knew exactly what they were doing. While I was picking out glasses one said they looked good on me and the other said that they were too big. Well I managed to get those glasses and they were too big on me. They hurt the heck out of my face and my ears and too heavy for me. When I got them all that they did was just basically hand them to me and I was on my way. No adjusting hardly. They asked if I could see and I said that they were blurry but I was to get used to them. It might take me a week to a few months.

    So anyways I toyed and of course they started hurting so I went back in to get a different pair of glasses. A pair that was very lightweight and rimless. She started my order and then said I couldn't have them because my prescription was too high. So she tried a different way to order them and they went through finally. So I waited for those glasses to come in and when they did I drove 20 miles into town which wasn't the first time that was a waste of gas for me. The first time I went in to get my glasses they were suppose to be open but weren't. I guess the lady was at break and no sign or anything so I left. This time I went in to get my second pair of glasses and I handed them my first pair that I ordered and she took them back and came back with the same pair. Not the pair that I had ordered the second time. I asked her where they were and she said "I don't know. I don't have no orders for them."

    I put them on anyways and couldn't see nothing with these ones but of course she said "Well that's the same prescription. I don't know why." So I finally managed to find the glasses I ordered again and she reordered them once again and again I had to wait another 7 to 10 days again and by this time I had went without my glasses for a whole month. So she reordered them and then called me a few days later and said I couldn't have any of the rimless glasses because my prescription was too high. So back once again to go find another pair of glasses. I finally just got my refund and went somewhere else. I now have a nice pair of rimless glasses and pair of glasses that I can see out of and it didn't take me a whole week to a month to get used to them. I will never go back to Walmart again for glasses. Either they don't know what they are doing or those are such cheap lenses. I don't know.

I told them if they knew they couldn't fix the glasses they should of left it alone as the glasses were wearable prior to bringing them in, now they are not.

    Not too long ago I purchased new glasses through Wal-Mart in Saint Augustine FL. A couple of weeks later I noticed scratches on my lens. Thinking it was my own fault, I was more careful. I'm a sales manager for a company downtown in Saint Augustine and realized that there shouldn't be any damage to my glasses since the don't get dropped or knocked around. I only clean them with the solution I was given when I purchased the pair of glasses. Now it being 6 months or so they're horribly scratched. I don't make a lot of money and when I did I bought glasses around the same cost from eye doctor offices and they lasted for years. I'm very disappointed in this new glasses and don't think I'll ever go back to the eye center.

    Thought I had ordered contacts (different strengths for left and right eye). Received call stating that the order was in and ready. When I went to pick up, Vision Center had only ordered contacts for one eye. Customer questioned representative and Kim expressed miscommunication when she had made copies of the prescriptions and noting specifics as well as physician contact information. Yet, the Center failed to follow up with the doctor to clarify any questions that the Center might have had. Due to this experience, told the Center to cancel the order.

    Customer went with a different company the following day after Vision Center was instructed to cancel the order all together. Placed an order online through 1-800-contacts (just like I did in Walmart Vision Center) and the next day the contacts were verified with my physician by that company and shipped all within a 24-hour time frame.

    Yet, still having to deal with Walmart Vision Center... Now Tiffany, the manager, is involved noting MY confusion when she left a message on my home answering machine. I had updated my contact information when the order was placed but I guess the Center failed to successfully update that as well. Just a note: If I was confused, how could I successfully order through another vendor. Furthermore, the Manager also expressed the amount of time she was placed on hold today while the receptionist at the doctor's office obtained and clarified the confusion to their staff. This call by the Vision Center did not take place until more than 7 days after the initial order to finally verify the prescription since they were unsure of what to order.

    Based on this experience and interactions with the staff, Walmart Vision Center fails to provide satisfactory vision services to their customers. The staff did not take the initiative to follow through on an order and also placed the blame on the customer for their mistake. If the Center had been proactive in checking when the order was initially placed and not waiting a week to follow up then this order might have been turned out differently. This company does not value their customers or efficiently handle orders placed. It is haphazard in its dealings.

    Went for eye exam on the first of Sept 2016. Did more exams than I wanted, picked out frames. Ten days later I received my sun glasses, the left lens was so off I couldn't see through them. Though the doctor was frustrated and so was I he treated me like it was my problem. However he did another eye exam and re-ordered my lens. On 9-26-16 I picked up my glasses again, this time the right lens was wrong and left was off too. Their attitude was not caring or professional. This was expensive and a very bad learning experience.

    July/August 2015, I went for an eye test at Wal-Mart Minot, N.D. Everything was of good service, where after I ordered lenses (I supplied the frame) from Wal-Mart Vision Center. The lenses arrived, got fitted. From day one I had only joy with the new glasses. Eleven months later, some spots appeared on the lenses. At Wal-Mart Vision Center I was told that they will order a new set of lenses, at no cost (under guarantee). They got fitted, and I could not read fine print. With the first set, I could easily. Another set was ordered, same story, blurred vision when I try to read fine print.

    Out of desperation, I asked the old lenses back, bought a similar frame, went back to Wal-Mart Vision Center, had the old lenses fitted. One prescription, two sets of glasses, one brand new, blurring, one with spots, perfect reading. A very helpful lady at the Vision Center tried her best to resolve the issue without any luck. Seems that the person, or people responsible, cannot be reached, or does not care!!! This is unpleasant, costs money and leave me with nowhere to go to sort it out.

    I went to the Wal-Mart in Lincolnton NC last summer, 2015. My glasses are very expensive because I have astigmatism. When my glasses came back they didn't sit right on my face. I put the glasses on the table and told the guy they weren't level. He moved the nose part slightly but they still didn't feel right. I also felt like a drunk while wearing them.

    I knew it would take some time to get use to them. But something just wasn't right. I stopped in 2 weeks later and told them. They checked to make sure my lens were made to the dr.'s specifications (they said they did this, I can't prove they did) and told me everything was right. I just needed a bit more time to get used to them. I have ALWAYS had to shove them up on my nose to keep them in place. Well stupid, stupid me. I finally realized one ear piece was SHORTER than the other which was causing them not to sit properly which was throwing off my vision.

    Oh, but they don't sell the frame anymore. That one yr guarantee they have? Hog wash! I was told they would replace the frame with another comparable frame but I'd be responsible for the lens. My lens cost $400 frickin' dollars! I am on disability and can't afford another pair. I really wish I had looked at reviews before going to Wal-Mart.

    Went to Walmart in Glendale AZ some years ago and bought prescription glasses with their doctor's Rx. They came back with the right lens in the left side and the left lens in the right side. Sent them back twice, same thing. Told the girl I wanted a refund (we are talking over $400.00 here). Was told that was impossible. When I turned to my husband and said "Let's go home.

    I visited the Vision Center on Hwy 280, Bham, Al, in Oct. 2015 and am still suffering from that visit. My accountant actually had previously filmed thieves hanging out there, as he suspected them. I was followed all around Walmart after they obviously spied my big, new, very nice wallet, which I had taken out of my large tote to replace my credit card while there. The thief lifted it while my hand was on my tote, but I was bent over to a lower shelf. The policeman explained this to me as the manager would not let me view the thief. I discovered the thief at checkout. I had to demand to see the manager and I got the assistant mgr, who told the police that I had accused the cashier of the theft. She obviously did not understand English well enough. NOT ONLY DOES WALMART NOT CARE ABOUT THESE THIEVES' ACTIVITY, BUT THEY OFFER NO ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER WHEN THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE TARGETED.

    I went to Walmart Vision Center in Colonial Heights, VA to get contacts on June 30, 2016. I live in Colonial Heights but usually order online, but I pay for a new type of vision insurance and I had to go to a store to order them. I was told no problems 7-10 days, well after a week of trying to call because it's very hard to reach someone I was told they should've been there, and said it looks like they are in the store but have not been delivered to us yet. They told me they have them by Tuesday July 12 at the latest.

    Well first off, they close the vision store early then the hours of operational, because I went after work on Monday and Tuesday at 6:00 and they were close, they are suppose to be open until 7, the sign saids it on the front of entrance plus website. I called the following day to ask about my contacts, and they still do not have them. Are you serious? I told her she said 7-10 business days and can't count weekend. I said "well vision center is open on Saturday so that is one of your business days and mail services run on Saturdays..." So no excuse... its been 12 business days and over two weeks... I will never order these again from Walmart Vision Center, when I can get them in 2 days from ordering online. There is more going on here, then it takes two weeks or longer to get them... what? Are they coming from JAPAN...

    Most Walmart Vision Centers are poor due to their contractual set up with the providers. There is little accountability by the centers as they are Independent of Walmart. In Melbourne FL at 8500 Wickham they let their phone ring 20 times before picking up. They are unprofessional and clueless in handling customer service problems. I demanded a refund rather than put up with these issues any longer. Time to get glasses was misrepresented and one pair "failed inspection" so they wanted me to wait even longer to get the other pair. You get what you pay for, as usual.

    The eye doctor was thorough and no problem. The assistant was helpful when picking frames total cost was $545.00. The problem started once the glasses arrived with the lenses in. After three separate attempts with different assistants, none were able to fit my glasses correctly. They kept slipping down my nose. It became obvious that all had inadequate training or no training at all regarding fitting.

    Finally, after total frustration I went to Visionworks in the mall, who adjusted them perfectly at no charge! The lack of training is Wal-Mart Vision Center's managements' fault as none of the three ladies knew how to fit glasses. I was told the following "my ears weren't level", to "wear my glasses over my hair", "glasses don't fit the same once the lenses are added". I have worn glasses since I was a child and have had many pairs of glasses at various locations and this was the worst ever.

    Today I took my daughter in to have an eye exam done as she has been having issues seeing in the distance and has to have her head close to her paper in order to do her school work. The staff was extremely nice why the 3 star status. However, while in the room with my daughter I was paying very close attention to the letters and she was not able to read them and had the letters completely wrong until the optometrist changed the settings on the eye exam machine. The frustration she was showing because she couldn't see was heart breaking but she was a trooper.

    When the exam portion where the white card is placed in front of the machine came, he of course asked her to read the line she could read clearly. She said it was all blurry. He faked changing the lenses (ok I get that because people might fake being able to see). She started reading a line, got 3 letters in and he said "ok perfect you're done", still very clearly having trouble reading the letters. This was the only portion of the exam that I didn't see the letters. My daughter also kept telling him that everything was doubled.

    Now obviously I'm not an optometrist but I've been wearing glasses since I was 6 years old (I'm 41 now) and know fully well how an eye exam works but it was very clear my daughter was having problems reading the lines. I contacted 2 other optometrists and explained my daughter's symptoms and what happened at the eye exam. They both said to absolutely get a second opinion and they felt the eye exam was not done correctly. And that she more than likely does need glasses especially with the complaints of double vision and our family history. Since the exam was filed with my insurance I will now have to pay out of pocket for the second opinion unless my insurance will make an exception cover the second opinion.

    I began my experience with my local Walmart Vision Center in Carrollton, GA on 2/23/16 with my eye exam. I chose progressive lenses, I've worn these for years and was assured they would be back within a week and someone would call me. By day 10, no one had called. I called them and was told my glasses were ready for pickup. I told the employee there was no difference between the top of my lenses and my vision w/o glasses. I was told to try them out and get used to the lenses. In a month, I still couldn't see anything but a blur. I returned the glasses, had another eye exam. Was told again, one week they'd be ready and someone would call. No one called!

    I showed up and my glasses were, supposedly, ready. I told this employee the same thing, I couldn't see. Again, I was told to take them and get used to them. I returned the following Saturday, 4/23 and asked had these glasses been checked for the prescribed prescription. This employee told me this was the first thing checked and my 60-day guarantee was up, so I couldn't even get a refund! I returned Monday, 4/25 and was assured, by the manager, Megan, my glasses would be fixed. They would call me to come pick them up.

    On day 16, after 4/25, I called, no one from Walmart Vision called after 16 days!!

Last year my right eye changed for the better and they actually exchanged out 5 boxes of contacts for the new prescription. No problem. I knew I was have a lot of difficulty seeing in my right eye again so went early for my annual exam at my ophthalmologist. I had a change. After buying 19 boxes last year to match my previous purchase I still have 13 unopened, unexpired boxes of that prescription. They refused on the phone to exchange them out. They refused again in person when I asked them to help me. I am by their refusing to exchange 13 boxes out $303.81. I can't afford to repurchase and lose the $303.81 and cannot afford to buy lenses for my right eye now.

    I WILL NO LONGER BUY FROM THEM, REFER THEM, ETC., and I will tell everyone I know not to go there for anything!!! I guess they think or their owners think screwing repeat customers big time is fun for them. Let me tell them -- I would not have cost them anything to switch out the lenses. I will continue to cost them for a change from now on by not having my annual account of between $287 and $303.81. One of the salespersons said that Walmart Vision no longer has the special discount when a customer buys a year's supply but they have lowered prices so that a year purchase is not any longer necessary to get the reduced price. Then I go to check the price and it is now from about $15.99 a box up to $22.99 a box. Yeah, I don't have a math degree but folks neither do they. It seems to me prices did not go down as promised but way up. SO, they LIE too.

    I normally use Air Optix Aqua night and day which can be worn for 30 days. This allows 6x more oxygen to pass through the lens so as to be worn for a long time. I picked up my prescription in February seeing Air Optix Aqua, I started using it the way I normally do. On my third month of usage I started having redness, irritation and severe headache. I took out my contact and wore my glasses. On a second thought I decided to open another set of contact and realized I have been wearing dailies as monthly. The vision center in Walmart Peachtree City, GA to be precise gave me Air Optix Aqua which is to be worn and removed daily as my regular prescription Air Optix Aqua night and day which is to be worn for 30 days. I've been having headache for 3 days straight and had to be placed on some medications.

    The most annoying part of it all is going to this same Walmart to complain and the Optician (a lady) not apologetic at all, saying it doesn't matter if I'm wearing it for months and it can't cause any discomfort or headache as long as it is the same strength. Absolutely nothing was said about the error and how sorry they are to have made that error. I don't even know if there's any damage done to my eyes right now. She said I should come pick up another box of contact and I told her I'm not interested and I will put this in writing to the doctor in charge and copy my family lawyer just in case I get any crazy complications from this error. This is really frustrating and annoying considering all I've been through with the discomfort, blurry eyes and pain. I hate it when the optician sees me as someone that will be good with getting an extra box of contact lenses when I can buy my contact lenses myself. I seriously don't need an extra box when I can pay for it.

    I was tempted by the cheap advertised prices at Walmart. But, by the time I got out of there, the glasses were about $400, I think. Probably no more expensive than elsewhere, but I wouldn't call it a "deal" either. Vision Exam + Glass Photogrey Progressive Safety Glasses. Initially they forgot to include the side shields, but they did eventually get them in for free. They lasted ok, but eventually the left temple broke. The springy things are a mixed blessing. They seem to be good for the glasses, but eventually just wear out (just short of 2 years).

    So, I went back to the Springfield Oregon Walmart to order a new temple, and was told that they could not order replacement parts for my glasses. She didn't look anything up to verify availability. I was just completely blown away by the apparent lack of continuing support for their customers and the glasses they sold. There wasn't a line of customers. The one other customer (I think) was just leaving as I got there. So, it is off to a "real" optometrist.

I was recommended to you because I saw a lady with a pair of glasses on that I liked and she got them from Wal-Mart (don't know which location), but went there because I work in the area.

    Eventually both employees moved to the back of the store (where you could not see them) and never came back out as long as I was there. I was the only person in the store so I know they were not busy. I looked up at one point and notices another employee coming into work or off her lunch break (she has her purse on her shoulder), still no acknowledgement. This is why people say customer service is terrible, because of employees this. They don't realize people have choices and there are a lot of people looking for employment, so if they don't value their jobs, leave and allow that job be given to someone that wants to work.

    I'm in customer service as well, manage 2 apartment communities in the area and if I had a prospect to enter my office and my employees did not acknowledge them, they would be terminated on the spot. This is not how we treat people, especially when you are attempting to spend their money with you. I went back to work and told my staff my experience and needless to say, they will never go there if they were in need of glasses. "Word of mouth" is the best advertisement.

    About 4 months ago I decided to get contacts. I am a professional dancer, so glasses easily get in the way of my work. So in December, I went to Wal-Mart Vision Center and got an eye exam to get fitted for my contacts. All went well, and I even refilled my prescription. Everything up until last week was going well. I am on my last pair of contacts and do not have a pair of glasses at the moment. I went into the Wal-Mart Vision Center yet again to refill my contact prescription because I do not like ordering things online (personal reasons).

    They refused to fill my prescription saying that I hadn't been in since December of 2014. Which is impossible because I didn't start wearing contacts until 2015 number 1, and number 2 I wasn't even in the State of Nevada in 2014. I am forced to wear expired contacts until I have my next appointment in which I will still have to possibly wait two more weeks to get glasses or contacts. As a result, I have been having vision headaches, my eyes have been dry and irritated, and it is taking a negative toll on my eye health. People may say "Why don't you just stop wearing them?" I'm almost legally blind, I am literally handicapped without vision correction. I cannot drive, work, or even trust myself in the kitchen without it.

    I am upset because the person that told me did not care to dig deeper and figure out how something like this could have happened. I am extremely upset with Wal-Mart Vision Center, I am in pain because of their mistake and am possibly harming my eyes in a way that I don't want to imagine. My contacts that I am currently wearing are expired and they are putting a strain on everything that I do. So yes, I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience.

The screw was still intact holding the cheap piece of white metal and the other piece was lying beside it. That is very convenient considering the next time they break that they won't cover them. Three days wear from them is not worth it! Double check the frames before you buy them. These were $69 frames so they were not dirt cheap, but still should've held up longer than three days.

    If I could give this place negative stars I would. I went here for an eye exam when my insurance stopped covering them and I was trying to save a little money. Also decided to go ahead and get my glasses while I was there because they run about the same price for progressive bi-focals as I had been paying, and I found some frames that I liked. I made sure that I asked if those frames were suitable for progressives, and was assured that they were. The optician on duty (if you can call him that) told me that they would be very similar to the ones I was currently wearing since the frame size was less than 1/4 inch wider, and that he would measure everything compared to my current lenses, so I wouldn't have any problem adjusting to them.

    When I got them, the distance vision was too strong (after the doctor who examined me told me that my distance hadn't changed, so she was leaving the prescription for that the same. But come to find out, she wrote it wrong and it was stronger) and the bi-focals were so low on the lens (and NOT progressive like I had paid for) that I had to tip my head waaay back to see anything within a few feet of my face. I said something about both problems at the original fitting, but was told that I just needed to adjust to them since my bifocal prescription had changed a little. So I tried them for a week, and just could not wear them - I had to tilt my head back at an uncomfortable angle just to see my computer screen at work.

    I was getting headaches from the too strong distance vision. And let's not even talk about reading anything close up. It was impossible without holding it down in my lap and tilting my head as far back as I could. But when I went back and asked to have them adjusted, I was told (by the same idiot who assured me that the frames were fine for progressive bi-focals and he would make sure they as close to my current lenses as possible) that it was MY fault I couldn't see out of them because I had chosen inappropriate frames for those types of lenses, and that I was just going to have to push them up as high as I could on my nose and get a higher desk chair so I could look down at my computer at work. WTF?

    He absolutely refused to do anything about it, and I have not been able to wear the glasses at all. So that was $300 down the drain, plus another almost $400 I had to pay for a correct eye exam (where I showed the doctor the Wal-Mart prescription and he told me the distance was WAY too strong) and a DECENT optician to make new glasses that I could see out of. And no, I have no problem with then new ones, even though the bi-focal prescription has changed from my old one. Never, never, ever again will I go to Wal-Mart Vision. They may be ok in other areas, but this experience put me off so much I am afraid to try. I strongly discourage anyone in this area from going to that one (Western Blvd in Jacksonville, NC). Personally, I will pay the extra $30 to go to my regular optometrist from now on.

    Wife and I both needed eye exams as seniors. That means dilation. We were going to a Sam's Club 1-1/2 drive away because the person there is great at fitting glasses. I made an appointment a day early with Walmart so I could drive both ways without vision problems. I called and was told $59 including dilation and diabetes testing. After the exam was told $75. Ask why the increase without a reasonable answer other than checked for diabetes. Wife had exact same exam including diabetes testing at the Sam's Club and was $59. I have all receipts. Walmart's pricing showed $75 for office visit which I guess I was charged and not an eye exam(?). Either way it was $16 more and they refused to refund after I contacted corporate. I was told they are independent services. If they cheat, they should be removed from their stores. All I've wanted was my extra $16 returned, but I suppose a customer doesn't mean that much to Walmart(?).

    They wrote me a quote then changed it when I went back to purchase the glasses. No explanation given. Their licenses are not posted, nor are their names on their badges, as required by my state law. File complaints with the licensing board on these opticians. They billed the wrong insurance company (Medicare) and refuse to show me a copy of the receipt or a copy of my prescription after filling it wrong the first time. I contacted the Medicare fraud people and if they don't correct this they may be charged with fraud - I hope so. They won't cooperate, won't correct their mistake. Very fishy. Also, the one optician sexually harasses me by calling me "Hon" despite numerous requests to stop.

    Fought the Christmas crowds to go to Walmart Vision Center. I am a professional and as such, I expect the same when I am spending my hard earned money when there are other choices out there. Entered the store on December 23, 2015, and there were a male and female seated at a work station chatting. First, I would suggest that perhaps staff follow professional business conduct by getting up to greet a customer when they are not occupied with work issues and a smile might help as well rather than making the customer feel like a bother!

    Second, I was looking for new frames to put my existing lenses into. I was not asked why I felt I needed new frames only that my current prescription was outdated. I was told further that I would require an eye exam and the male seated there proceeded to tell me what openings there were. I stated that I was aware it is expired but at this time I am looking only for new frames.

    They basically said no exam, no new prescription, no frames. Very abrupt and to be honest, he treated me like I was 12 instead of over 40. I said that's fine. You have lost my business and I will take my money elsewhere. I wished them a merry Christmas on my way out and got some sort of response on my way out. I travelled to Hakim at the other end of town where I was asked questions by the woman at the counter. And after some discussion, she replaced the nose pieces and adjusted the glasses for me even though they were originally purchased at Walmart. She did this for free! She explained that they have to warn you about prescription renewals and professionally encouraged me to wait for the lenses until I have a new prescription to put into new frames.

    The new prescription will be in excess of 300 dollars due to being trifocals. Hakim will get my business and my very hard earned money in the future because I WAS TREATED LIKE A PAYING CUSTOMER. You know, the one that is the reason for you being there! Customer service is how it's done people. The lack of it today lost you a lot of money.

    My daughters glasses broke at the hinges. She is 25 so it was not from misuse. She got them at Walmart but naturally they could not be fixed and she needed to get a new frame. She found one for under $100 about the same size so the lens could be popped out and just put in, needless to say the tech cracked the lens at the corner and when my daughter asked about it she said the crack was already there. I have always gone to Walmart, I love the doctors and the price but feel let down now.

    I noticed I wasn't being able to read the road signs with my old glasses prescription while driving and night driving was a smear of colored lights from the traffic signals and neon business ads, so I made an apt with the Antelope Walmart Vision Center, in Antelope, CA. My apt was at 2 pm, but the optometrist and her receptionist, was not back from lunch yet. When they returned at 2:20 pm, I prepaid her fee and was asked to have a seat in the waiting room, where I sat until 2:30 pm, before being ushered into the exam room, where I waited some more. There were no other patients present then or throughout my entire visit, so I wondered what the hold up was. I finally got my exam, which took over an hour, and that was without the dilation since I had to drive myself home. I paid cash for the exam, $58.00, a good buy, since I do not have vision coverage through my insurance.

    The least I could purchase eyewear for at Walmart, is over $300.00, so I took my Rx and filled it through another, much more economical company, for $145.00, a big plus for us seniors on a fixed income. When my prescription was ready in 2 weeks, I eagerly put them on, only to find that I could not see out of them. The Rx had been written wrong. I rescheduled a refit with the Walmart Vision Center, where again I was put into the exam room to wait for 20 minutes, however, while waiting, I got to listen to another customer come in with his family and complain that he too had received the wrong Rx and could not see out of his glasses, saying he saw double out of them, and she scheduled him for a refit in a week. Upon reexamining my eyes (it took her another hour), she determine that I had the wrong Rx.

    Then she began making excuses, saying my eyes had gotten better and that the difference between the far sight and the nearsight was so drastic that she could not progress them properly and that I would either have to get a reading pair of glasses and a driving pair, or give one of them up entirely! Was she kidding? She also chastised me for not trying the new glasses longer so I would get used to them, but I couldn't seem to do anything with them on except squint and try to focus until I got a headache.. I asked her what I was going to do with a pair of new glasses that were completely useless for me and she said that I could still use them for driving, since it was the reading part of the glasses that was the worst. That's fine, except every time I glanced down, the blur was so bad that eventually it made me nauseous and dizzy.

    At least she did not charge me for the refit appointment, but also did not refund my exam payment for the bad Rx, or a refund for the money I had just tossed down the toilet for the glasses! I know $200 isn't much in this day and age, but it comes very hard for me, being a senior and caring for my developmentally disabled son at home. It would cost me more money and time to file a suit with small claims court, than it would to just start over and order new glasses, so it is back to wearing the old Rx and not driving, until I can save some more money to order new glasses and get a new Rx from an ophthalmologist. Walmart advertises their "Walmart Vision Centers" yet they will not stand behind them, saying the vision centers are not 'with them' or a part of Walmart, that they only rent them a space in their store for the convenience of their customers.

    It sure wasn't very convenient for me, or the other senior citizen who also got a bad fit and now sees double. So, buyer beware. I guess you do get what you pay for, but you would think these places would be regulated better and held to higher standards, since the largest part of their clientele are the poor, the disabled, and low income people who cannot afford more, and who does not have the resources to take the matter to court.

    I purchased 2 pairs of eyeglasses. I asked for one pair to be tinted for sun purposes. You have no choice because they put packages together. With that being said, they are not tinted. I paid $750.00 for both pairs that I have never worn. The reason I have not is because the main pair the frames are horrible. They are difficult to adjust and the nose pad is already twisted and ready to fall off. They are so uncomfortable. The second pair (Flowers) are all around plastic - another pair difficult to adjust. I have taken them to professional eyeglass stores to adjust, and to this day I can't wear them because of how uncomfortable they are. They are new prescriptions with newer vision. I am still wearing my other ones daily.

    I would never recommend anyone to purchase from Walmart. On another note I feel the employees do not have the education or experience to even be working in that specialized department. I have not gone back because I do not feel confident that they will do anything about it.

    My pink glasses that cost $180 were bought in 2013 broke recently and came unwelded and needs a left hand side hinge. Went there today and was told my lenses and glasses had been discontinued forever and that they were not going to fix them and were not going to fix them. I was also told to go to the doctor and get a new prescription and that after January of 2016 everyone would have to go to the eye doctor every 6 months and get a new prescription and glasses and they would make tons of money out of us. They were rude and cruel and treated me just like Fred Meyers Jewelers about 3 watch bands I needed fixed due to the watches being of sentimental value. In Portland where I live now there is only 1 jewelry store still in business still that fixes watch bands and Fred Meyers would not fix my 3 bands and said they do not have to do it or will not do it for me. Hundreds of jewelry stores are gone and out of business forever here now.

    Watches mean nothing here no matter how old or valuable they are. The same premise exists for eye glasses it looks like now and will be for many other products as companies continue to lose money. Because so many places sell them for under $5 places will not do it or fix them and they will not tell you that. I cannot wear cheap glasses and most people cannot. I asked them if I am going to have to get new glasses every year and after January 2016 get new glasses and a new prescription from an eye doctor every 6 months and they said yes. And asked them because they discontinued the glasses and the frames does that mean they are not going to help me or not help me and they said yes. Am I SOL and they also said yes. I bought your glasses you creeps and jerks at Wal-Mart Vision Center in good faith. You said everyone and me had to get a new script every year and in two months from now a new one from a doctor every 6 months.

    Anything to be greedy greedy and more greedy. I used to work retail back at a store called Lechmere Sales and over 3/4 of the stuff they sold in less than 2 years would be discontinued and people had to all cuss out our staff for them to even get a store credit for them to buy something else. I just want a store credit to buy a better pair that does not have a crummy weld on it. My Nova 4717 walker 3 years ago came unwelded and Arthro Nova would not back it up and blamed me for breaking and joyriding it all over Portland and 82nd avenue and that was a lie. I lost a lot of money and would not back up the 4717 walker by Arthro Nova. I got it welded and it broke down in 150 pieces and I lost a $350 walker. The same crap is happening here at Wal-Mart Vision Center. They said today that hundreds today of their glasses had been discontinued and that because of that they would not help me or anyone else that glasses broke.

    Lady Witch I can do something and I can fight. Do not screw me? I will win this thing. It was not my fault for breaking my glasses and I did not break them at all like Arthro Nova said about my walker that was garbage. Because you are losing money which I have heard all over the news you are cherry picking certain customers to do this to and you are not going to get away with it with me. I can fight and I'm not an idiot and I'm not stupid.

    Do not ever ever ever buy glasses from Wal-Mart Vision Center in Portland Oregon or anywhere in Oregon because in a year and a half they will discontinue them and tell you that they are un everything and unfixable like they did me. I hate your guts Wal-Mart Vision Center for not giving a damn about your customers or my business. Do not go here to this company to buy glasses because it will cost you $200 every 6 months.

Mind you I start fresh with this new Walmart and had years exp. in a Walmart Vision shop in an adjacent town. To be honest, overall, didn't care for the Asian female eye Dr. or her practices.

Terrible service by a young man who knew next to nothing how to order contacts and the co-worker being vague and judgmental with he.

    After 40 minutes, the contacts are ordered. One box goes thru my state insurance, the other I pay cash. She is vague and said in a week they will come in. So I come in this past Wed, nothing plus they tell don't call them, their phones are down! Well I said I will come back in and she said will call. Well I called and Thurs and again, no contacts plus phones are down had to call thru the main Walmart number there. I am pretty sure this is a run around of some sort coz I am getting stonewalled. I am gonna call today and get a refund on the one box.

    I asked for a refund at the Vision Center Counter. The woman there told me there was no way anyone could issue me a refund. That I needed to go see the eye surgeon & have surgery then come back. The doctor put it down that I am blind in both eyes. I can see better without glasses than with the new glasses. I went to see another eye doctor over 100 miles a way (in Tucson Arizona). I am nowhere near blind. I do not need surgery and there is nothing wrong with either of my eyes. I need Rx sunglasses. I live in Southern Arizona. I drive a lot.

It at first took a long time for them to find my insurance and then they claimed it didn't cover my appointment. In spite of this I went ahead and asked for an exam without my insurance. The service is terrible even though the dr himself is great. After the exam I paid in advance for two boxes of contacts (I have a different prescription in each eye) and my glasses. The glasses came in fairly quickly but my contacts were another story.

    I waited over a month before I finally called to ask about them. I was told that only one box came in and the other was on back order. After another few weeks I went and picked up the one box, since I was going on vacation and wanted to wear contacts. I have called repeatedly and stopped by the store and every time I am told the same thing, that my contacts are "still on backorder" the employees keep telling me that it's not their fault, that the company has them on backorder. Another time the employees told me that they are reordering my contacts and they should be in within a week.

    After almost 4 whole months of this I still do not have my contacts. I'm going to ask for a refund on the one box and have a copy of my prescription. This is the worst service I have ever had from an eye doctor.

I asked her how did I owe this fee when my insurance advised I had one exam a year, contacts or glasses and up to 125.00 paid for contacts all paid by insurance.

    She claimed the 65.00 is a separate fee and it was to fit the contacts (which took the Dr all of 30 seconds to do). I told her I did not have 65.00 on me or at all to be honest and was never informed of this charge by either the insurance or Wal-Mart. Because it was close to 7:30pm my insurance was closed but she insisted this fee was correct and it was the Dr.'s own fee that the insurance doesn't tell the patient because they probably don't know about it. I became upset and said that THEY Wal-Mart NEVER told me about this over the phone or otherwise. The woman I was speaking with advised she did not know who scheduled me but it should have been told and was just like "Oh well." about it, "We need our money."

    I again told them I did not have the money and asked what was I suppose to do now? The woman said you'll have to take out the trial pair of contacts you have in and give them back then. She said once you pay the 65.00 we will give them back to you. I was appalled and angry beyond belief. I took out the contacts and gave them to her and started to leave telling her I would contact my insurance about this and that someone is to blame but it is not me. I then went back to the vision center and said "Wait a minute here, you're billing my insurance and I have received NOTHING for it, not even a prescription?" The woman then said "Oh well. I can give you your prescription, hold on." She came back out from the back and then said the Dr had not filled it out so she could not give it to me yet.

    I said "When can I get it then?" She said "After 1 pm the next business day." that I could come and pick it up. She then said "But it is just for the glasses portion of it." I said "Glasses portion? I didn't have a glasses exam." She said "The contact and glasses prescription was the same." Yet a few minutes before that she said I would have to pay for the contact portion of the prescription, but could have the glasses portion. I told her that "Someone here is lying and I want the prescription before I leave, today!" She again claimed it was the glasses part. I said those two exams are not the same and I did not have a glasses exam today. She tried to convince me they were the same prescription and that I did in fact have a glasses exam done.

    Mind you the Dr NEVER once did anything with glasses, just contacts. I told her I wanted corporates number and she rudely said 1800- Walmart was the number. Extremely rude, non caring and could care less that I just paid with my insurance which is a once a year deal for vision and now have NOTHING to show for not even a prescription! I am disgusted and will contact my insurance tomorrow but need to know where to go from here. I am lost as to who to contact about this and feel I have been cheated and robbed! I didn't even receive a receipt for my visit either. Something isn't right.

    I went to Wal-Mart Vision Center thinking that I would be saving money. They charged me only about $60 for the eye exam. The optometrist did a very quick examination, and I thought it went well. I ordered frames and lenses from Wal-Mart Vision Center. I actually ordered the Nikon Eyes lenses thinking that they would offer me clearer vision. Was I ever wrong! I previously had gotten glasses from a local place with Crizal lenses. In my opinion, the Crizal lenses are at least one million times better than the Nikon Eyes lenses!

    In short, my Wal-Mart glasses were terrible! I immediately put my old glasses back on and could see better! I went back to Wal-Mart Vision Center and got a full refund for the frames and lenses. They wanted me to come back for another exam. I told them no! So, whatever you do, do not go to Wal-Mart Vision Center! You will be much happier with wherever you are going now!

    I went to this Walmart Vision Center for the first time because I had a good experience with one of their other locations a couple of years ago. The eye test went as expected. After picking up my glasses, there was a period required to get used to the very minor prescription change. In their defense, I chose to replace transition lenses with single vision. I attempted to contact them on the 28th day to let them know that I was uncomfortable with these lenses and preferred to go back with the progressive lenses.

    I was able to get in touch with them on the 32nd day after purchase. When they returned my call a week later, I was informed that I would have to pay the full price of lenses in the amount of $176.00. It appears you only have a 30 day satisfaction warranty. The lenses don't seem to be high quality as your vision appears different depending which part of the lenses you look out of. I had to go back to my old glasses due to the nonstop headaches. Lesson learned - I'll go to a professional with a complete satisfaction warranty from now on.

    After having waited 5 years to have my eyes examined and get a new prescription I was told to try Walmart Vision Center as they supposedly have the best prices. I don't have vision insurance so the price is a big deal to me. My prescription was for progressive lenses which I have never worn before. The Vision Center is open till 8pm and I work from 11-7:30 so I left work a bit early to get there at 7:30. The woman there (Carolyn **) was none too happy to help me, though I was fast to select frames, she kept repeating that they close at 8pm. I gave her my prescription and she struggled to mark the glasses for the lenses which took us to 8pm.

    It took 10 days to get my new glasses. I wore them on and off for 4 months thinking I just needed to get used to wearing progressive lens, but they were making me dizzy so I took them back to Walmart to have them check the prescription. Almost a week later when I picked them up I was told they had the prescription correct, but the progression was off. They marked them wrong! I asked if this could be corrected. Yes to the tune of another $200+ as it was way past the 60 day trial. Ok, I could see if this was my mistake I would have to pay, but this was their mistake! Remember, I have never worn progressives before so I had no idea why my brain felt scrambled when I wore them.

    Walmart suggested that my Ophthalmologist got the exam wrong! That I should go back to see the Dr., which I did, and they confirmed that the prescription was correct but the progression was way off, so they marked them correctly for me. I'm going back today and speak to a manager. Yes, it was over the 60 days but they made them wrong and I'm not paying for their mistake. I will never go back to Walmart again if this is not corrected. I need to have another pair of glasses made and this store will not get my business.

    I ordered a pair of glasses 3 years ago from the Capilano location. Great service and great product. Aside from the obvious low-quality, I had them for years and was completely satisfied! Order a pair from Clareview, and had to send them back three times - once when the prescription was redone (during the 30 day satisfaction guarantee) and twice when the factory screwed up. The second time they made my lenses two different colours, and the manager was so rude and condescending, telling me that they did me a favour by re-making them at no cost when my prescription changed. They have a 30 day guarantee, it was no "favour."

    I wanted a refund for the different coloured lenses, but they refused as it was past the 30 days since they were remade twice already. That was okay with me, but the lenses this time are such awful quality, I get motion sickness from the curvature and they were scratched within days even though I paid for anti-scratch. I am so sad, the last pair were great and I was treated like a customer... This time I was treated like an inconvenience and a burden. The clerk even said "Nope, we know your name NOW" after I asked if there was anything else they needed when I brought back the different coloured lenses. Just saddening.

    I never used Walmart Vision before, and thought I'll try since the price sounds reasonable and I been coming to this one for years. I paid everything (no insurance) so I am just there to pick up. When I went to pick up the two pairs of glasses today, I was standing the whole time before, during and after Michelle gave me the glasses. I did not say anything about it, and let it go. Later I noticed that other customers were sitting and had specialist put on for them, made sure the angles were correct etc. Because my prescription is high, I ordered the reading glasses and want the prescription to be lighter.

    When I ordered I emphasized so many times that this is reading glasses, I will only use it at home etc. But the glasses I got, the prescription is not lighter. I cannot use it for outdoor either because it has no transition(I plan to use it at home, that's why I didn't order transition). In addition, I would choose a different frame if I were to use it for outdoor. It wouldn't be useful to use it for indoor because the prescription is not lighter. Michelle looked at me like the mistakes were my fault.

    Unfortunately, because I paid and got the eye examination Walmart, I asked if I could look at my record on the written prescription. Michelle insisted that the record is for the doctor only. It wasn't until a lot of hassle back and forth, countless waiting and luck that I finally got to see the record. Since I do not understand some words and after all this, I understand that I am not allow to look at my record, I decided to take a picture, she immediately stopped me. I think the guy was the manager. He saw everything, didn't bother to do a thing.

    After I found out the return policy, I return the glasses the same day. I did not have problem with the other glasses (as of now) because it belong to my husband. Even when I was returning, I saw the staff doing the return looked like she tried not to laugh. I have no explanation for that. I have had glasses for 25 years and have been to countless eyeglasses stores. I have never felt so insulted, disappointed and angry after leaving the glasses store. My husband and I both had our eye examinations, got glasses (I returned mine), paid in full and tried to be polite. We don't deserve this kind of treatment.

    I'm writing this on behalf of my fiance. She has been going to Wal-Mart Vision Center for years and for the most part has had a pleasant experience with the people there. The problem is they do not know what they are doing. Her prescription recently expired and just like every year she contacted them for a new eye exam. They were so busy they could not get her in for at least 2 weeks and they said you cannot just walk in. So she could not wait that long as she doesn't have the best vision. So she decided to go somewhere else, she chose someone that has had their own practice for years. Turns out my 23 old fiance has glaucoma... but not just a little bit.

    She has already lost 65% of her vision. Not one time was it identified by the doctors at Wal-Mart during her yearly evaluation. She was told that this has been going on roughly 5 years and that it should have been identified about 3 years ago. So at this point she will either be on ridiculously expensive medication for the rest of her life or go through multiple surgeries in hopes that she will not be blind by the time she is 50 years old. I strongly advise that you choose someone more qualified. Wal-Mart Vision Centers have nice people. I've gone to some of her exams and they do seem knowledgeable and polite. However the negligence of the doctors is inexcusable and has potentially ruined her life.

I then went to Eyemart Express - same prescription and had two pairs of glasses made for less than $54 and they were ready in an hour. No anti-glare nothing extra - and they were perfect.

She made me feel as though I was wasting her time. I was initially going to purchase (2) boxes of lenses. However, when she advised that they were $50 per box, I settled on one box. She said the price had gone "up". When I went on to try to find frames, with pricing questions, she had disappeared into the back area to avoid further being "bothered". I was calling for help to no avail, and decided to look around the corner. She ignored me completely and "Continued" to talk on her cell phone.

The Nikon lenses was something I was interested in. so when we ordered them I had to ask for the Nikon. When I went to pay for them. I asked the lady what color transition she put. She said gray - but I preferred brown because my frames are bronze colored. I was not rude. She wasn't rude it was just something overlooked.

    Needless to say I was excited to get my new transition Nikon lenses. Meantime my dad was complaining his nose was killing him. I looked and he had big gaps in his nose from the glasses. That’s when I realized a lighter lens was never offered him. I did not know to ask. I was aggravated because he was suffering with something that could have been prevented. She even made note he had a lot of script in one of his eyes. I only knew to ask because of my brochure. Well meantime dealing with his ordering and paying for more lenses for my dad I received my glasses.

    They were not transition glasses. They were sunglasses, but they were Nikon lenses. At least I got to put them on for 20 seconds. So I was told they would be reordered. Then I receive a phone call to pay more. Which I was aggravated because I thought I just paid more for sunglasses than transition. Well they said they would take care of the difference of 30 dollars.

    In April, I spent over $400 to receive a pair of progressive bifocal glasses. I was treated with the utmost courtesy and respect from the moment I walked in, also during the eye examination, and finally, to the actual purchasing of the glasses. It was my first time purchasing eyeglasses and the employees made the experience enjoyable. I picked up my glasses less than a week later. Let's just say that progressive bifocals are not for me. My vision isn't that bad. It's a very slight script, basically just making things "crisp and defined", like HD television. There was nothing wrong with these glasses. I admit it is me. I cannot tolerate having things blurry. There is only a small section of the lens that provides "clear vision", as is typical with these type of glasses and which was explained to me by, I'll call him "**", in advance. I was told that it takes time to adjust to this. Okay, fine.

    I returned a week later to get glasses for my daughter. Again, everything went smooth... great people. ** waited on me again. While he was taking care of my daughter's order I explained to him that these glasses made me nauseous while I wore them. They actually made my vision worse and I dared not drive with them on. He told me it takes some people more time than others to adjust and that I should continue to wear them. I replied to ** that I would do that since I had paid $400 for them and did not want it to have been a waste of so much money. Not once did ** mention to me a return policy. I went back to the vision center a couple days later and once again ** waited on me. I told him that I wanted to order another pair of the exact same glasses but without bifocal progressive lenses. I just wanted regular lenses due to the fact I could not wear the ones I had just purchased.

    As he waited on me I talked to him about how upsetting it was to have just wasted $400. Again, ** never mentioned a 60 day return policy. I had now just purchased a second set of glasses to replace the $400 ones I could not wear. On several occasions I tried wearing the progressive glasses because I was sick over wasting $400. The morning of the day my new glasses came in. I tried wearing those $400 glasses but still could not wear them without feeling sick. I placed them in my shirt pocket. When I bent over to flush my toilet the glasses slipped out, fell in the toilet and disappeared! I could not believe it. I had accepted the fact I had wasted $400 on these but I did not want to lose them like this. I knew they had to be trapped in the toilet and decided to deal with that later that night. It was at this point I received a call that my new glasses were in.

    Walmart definitely has good timing. Again, ** waited on me and I told him what had happened to my glasses and that I would have to take my toilet apart since I could not leave them in there for obvious reasons. He still never mentioned return policies or warranties. So I was on my way wearing my new and much improved, and less expensive $175 glasses. I returned to the vision center later that week to pick up my daughter's glasses we had ordered. ** did not wait on me, however a very polite and friendly lady did. I had told her the unfortunate story of my $400 glasses and their incredible demise. This is what she replied to me: "Did you get them out of the toilet?" I said "yes but they are ruined." She replied "bring them in, they are under warranty." I could not believe my ears! So I had these $400 glasses I could not wear replaced with a new pair of $400 glasses I could not wear. I just figured at some point I might be able to use them.

    Fast forward to this week which would be 50 days from my original purchase of those $400 glasses. My daughter had just lost the pair I had bought her after having them a couple weeks. Ugh! I looked for her receipt to see what I had paid for them and to see if there was any coverage for lost ones. It was then that I noticed the 60 day return policy on all glasses. I quickly found the receipt for those infamous $400 glasses and noticed I may still have 10 days left to get a refund. I went back there to order a replacement set of glasses for my daughter and yes, ** waited on me. As I order her glasses I told him how I noticed the 60 day return policy and that I'd like to return my $400 pair. He asked me if these were the pair I had flushed down the toilet and I replied they were not. Interesting he remembered that but cannot remember to mention return policies and warranties to me, in which he had several chances to do so.

    Of course, and I figured this would happen, he said they could not be returned because the warranty had been used on them. I mentioned the fact that he never mentioned the return policy or warranty to me during my entire ordeal. He said he still could not refund my money due to their policy. I asked him to please provide me with that policy. I then asked him directly why he purposely did not tell me of the return policy back when I was having problems or the warranty when they were ruined in the toilet. He said "calm down, I'll refund your money." This guy, **, really is something. Yes, I did get my money back, but only because I was lucky. My real questions is: Why, **, did you want me to lose $400? Why? I do not know you and you do not know me. I am a hard working single father with my 2 young children living with me. You knew this through our conversations. I brought you repeat business and suggested to my family that they go there too.

    I just do not understand you. I might understand if this was your own privately owned company and you would take a loss, but Walmart is a billion dollar enterprise. Why were you trying to prevent them from losing the $400 sale? Does Walmart look out for you like that? It shames me to see a fellow working man decide to take advantage of another hard working man over something you would derive no benefit from. **, your actions are inexcusable and you should be ashamed of yourself. Moral of this: I should have read all the paperwork I received with my original purchase. It clearly states the return and warranty policies. Through my own neglect, I still could have been out that $400. Read, read, read everything.

    I got my prescription from Wal-Mart and then I wanted to get some glasses from Wal-Mart... I picked a display frame I liked and got my setup right away... one week later I was called to pick up my new glasses. I was excited because I paid almost 300 dollars for a frame with good Nikon lenses.. First time I tried on my glasses, the frame was crooked. The Sales rep went to go "fix" them, the glasses then fit very loose and so he did another adjustment.... the glasses fit snug now.

    Later that day I went to work with a bad pain on my rear ear, I took it back the next day to get them adjusted and so they did... I left feeling better that the pain was gone... but realized the glasses were feeling funny. I set them down on the table and noticed that they were very crooked and one side of my frame was holding next to my head but the other side of the frame was loose. I went back AGAIN and they switched the frame out with a display frame.... and still the same issue... they came to me, telling me that it was my prescription. My left eye was a little different in prescription and it's not noticeable according to my eye doctor... I'm going to return these glasses and get my money back... This was disappointing... and if you read the other reviews you'll see that Wal-Mart sells nothing but crooked frames and display frames. I'm done.

    My husband and I went in to a Colorado Walmart and had our exams done. Very nice eye-doctor. Then came time to befitted for frames and I picked the lowest price pair. The woman charged me twice that and when I mentioned it she said, "Oh, they're all different prices." Then she went on to charge me for each lens and each bi-focal. The price was totally not Roll-back or Walmart prices. And I will never ever buy my glasses from a Walmart again.

    I went to Wal-Mart Vision center and ordered 2 pair of glasses. One pair at half off. $248 for one and $134 for the second pair for long distances. I went to pick them up. The long distance glasses were incorrect and I could not see. So I asked for a refund on the second pair. They said I would have to pay a second time for the glasses that were good. Even though they had my $400 for both. They said they could not refund unless I let them refund the entire amount for both in 2 weeks and they would hold the good ones until I came back and paid for the good ones when the refund came in the mail to me.

    Does that make any sense? The second pair was supposed to be half off. But when they figured the new price I would have to pay later it was reduced. So I really did not get half off, but I am paying more if I kept both. The price for the good ones is $172? Tell me am I wrong for not being happy about this service? I paid $400 and got nothing and have no glasses and they told me they want me to promise to come back to pick up and pay for the good pair once they mail me a refund. I paid them for the glasses already.

    I just found out today that my eyeglass prescription is only good for one year. Typically in the past, it has always been good for 2 years. I am 54 years old and my eyes haven't changed since I was 16. I finally find a pair of glasses I want to purchase and I am told I can't because my prescription expired last month. When I called to speak to the Optometrist, she stated some sort of new law requires this now if you wear contacts. I wear my glasses 90% of the time and I wasn't asking for more contacts, I was merely wanting to purchase another pair of glasses since I had finally found another frame I liked. I am very disappointed and angry that I will have to pay for another eye exam to purchase an additional pair of glasses 13 months after my last exam. I was told by another Walmart Vision employee that the expiration of the eyeglass prescription is at the discretion of the optometrist. This Walmart has forever lost my business.

    This occurred in Winchester, VA. From the moment I stepped in to this office, the receptionist/assistant seemed curt and acted like I was an imposition. She did the glaucoma check, etc. and acted like it was my fault that the machine wouldn't line up properly. Treated me like a child. The exam itself with the doctor was much the same rude attitude. I tried to explain which lenses have not worked and why, as I have worn contacts for over 50 years. It made NO sense to me why he would REDUCE the RX from -8.50 to -7.00 and get upset when I could not see out of the trial lens right eye only. I removed BOTH lenses which made him VERY angry saying he only wanted me to remove the right. He then had to give me 2 new lenses to try and then again was disgusted, throwing the empty case down (like a 3 year old). Again, when they would not insert properly, it was somehow my fault - like I didn't know how.

    This doctor and receptionist/assistant need an attitude adjustment or learn some people/customer service skills. After I left, and reviewed the entire experience I wish I had spoken up but they seemed in a BIG rush to get me out the door (it was not busy). By the way, he gave me the EXACT brand of lens that I said I was very unhappy with and did not think would work for me. I AM BEYOND ANGRY and do not even want to return to be refitted. MONEY WASTED. There is NO doubt these docs get percentages off of certain brands and DO NOT CARE if you want to switch. My feeling while I was there was this Doctor and Receptionist must think their "Wal-Mart" patients are just beneath them AND TREAT THEM AS SUCH AND THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.

    Initially the exam was ok, but when I got my glasses fitted, first of all I had to come back in and have them re-fitted because the lenses weren't put in correctly and could have fallen out. Second of all they were crooked on my face and had a very hard time straightening them. I went in for contacts and first of all I asked for my prescription sheet and they didn't give it to me because it had been over 6 months, but I still wanted my personal information and they refused me. Second of all I had issues with contact lens solution and I asked what they recommended for sensitive eyes and the gal said she couldn't help me because the doctor wasn't in and I needed to make an appointment. So I went to the contact solution aisle myself and got the sensitive solution which cured the issue, but would have appreciated help from the Vision Center Staff. Not going back.

    My husband and I went for an eye exam and glasses at Walmart in Safford, AZ. We have insurance. First thing they charge you to dilate your eyes, other place include it. When we went to pick our glasses they told us that insurance will pay up to $68 for our frames. Not a problem, I picked $68 frames my husband picked $48 frames. The only thing I asked for was transitions otherwise nothing other than basic glasses. My husband asked for bicarbonate and transitions, nothing else. Our bill was $500.

    When we went to pick up the glasses we took our insurance information in with us and questioned why the bill was so high. She did not know she had the manager call us back on Monday. The manager's answer was that they have everyday low prices and they don't have to use the insurance coverage stated with my insurance. even though they are a provider for my insurance and besides it is only the cost of the transitions difference from the last pair of glasses I bought there. I tried to explain that the last pair of glasses I bought there were the most expensive frames in the store.

    From there I called my insurance company. They stated that frames, cover up to the $68 (we were fine there), lenses covered 100%. Being how I only got transitions on my glasses the only additional charge should have been $65 for my co-pay. My husband's glass would be $65 for the transitions and $40 for the poly lenses. Total bill should have been $170 for glasses and $50 for exams (because of paying for dilation) for a total of $220.

    I went back to the store and got a store manager to go to the vision center with me. I was told that they explained everything to us that because they have everyday low prices insurance does not apply! NOT. So now I am a liar. In what universe would I take everyday low price of $500 over $220? I asked them to break down the receipt because it does not explain what I paid for it just says frames and the costs, lenses $110 times four and a few other things. I was told we asked for everything we got and tat is the way it is. I came home and called the insurance again and now they had the claim for the glasses. Turns out we paid for scratch coating we did not ask for. I got poly lenses that I did not ask for.

    Now I can take them back to the store but I am at their mercy waiting for them to reverse the insurance claim. It took them 3 weeks to put in a claim to get their money how long do I figure it will take them to reverse the claim? This is fraud plain and simple. Receipts that do not tell you what you are paying for. Things you did not ask for. And no one will be accountable. I have called the corporate office. I was told someone would call me back in three day. Well guess what. No one has called. And this is my time. All of the time I put in on the phone with the insurance company, going back to Walmart. Being told I'm a liar on top of it. Three days waiting for a phone call that never came. These have been some very costly glasses. And I pay for insurance for this?

The first week the frame broke around one of the lenses making the eyeglasses unusable. They fixed it with one of the frames off their display. Then a week later the coating started peeling off the lenses making the glasses unusable. Went back to Wal mart and the associate there said I was because I used those glasses cleaning wipes on them and they wouldn't honor the warranty. So I been without glasses for two years.

I had my new glasses for only 5 days when the right lens fell out. I was not able to recover the lens so they wanted me to purchase a new lens. The fact that I used my old frames suddenly became an issue. Even though it was not a problem at the initial consultation. Also the manager ** examined the frames when I went back to complain and could not explain why the lens fell out. The frames were in good condition. My conclusion is the lens material was inferior or cut wrong and/or the installer was incompetent. I was asking for a new lens but they wanted me to pay $85.00.

    I bought glasses from Wal-Mart's Vision Center. Not only was the lady who sold them to me on the rude side, they were absolutely no help at all. She took the measurements for my bifocals. I specifically asked her I'm in the thinnest lens to which she said "No, there is one thinner for 200 more." She said but my new glasses shouldn't be much if any thicker than my old. I picked up my glasses today. I looked at them and they are much thicker. I even pointed that out. They acted as if it was no big deal. To the person wearing them it is. I put them on and thought I will try them. I asked if they don't work can I bring them back and he said yes. He wasn't even going to adjust them! They slid right off my nose. I asked if he would and he said okay hesitantly and said "Let's pay the balance first." Then he had me pay the balance as I had something added to them.

    So, I paid for them and then he adjusted them. Of course, they still slide down my nose as all he fixed was the arms of the glasses, which they aren't even adjusted right. The nose pieces weren't touched. Keep in mind, I have bifocals so with not being adjusted right, I can't read thru them! To make matters worse, the bottom part of one lens is blurry as well. So, after waiting a week I now have to take them back and have them done right or get my money back. Not to mention, the glasses ARE cheap made. If you have to wear them on a regular basis I am not sure I would recommend them. I think if Wal-mart is going to have a Vision Center maybe they need to provide better care and better training in this department.

Do you have any prescription glasses? Contacts? I answered yes glasses. He ask if I had with me. I said no. Then he proceeds to spend the next ten or so minutes explaining to me why I should be driving with them on. And he just keeps going with it, he then tries to end that conversation by saying, "You look like a hard-headed individual.

I am in the wrong for driving without my glasses on." He finally starts the procedure, as we get to the "which one was better 3 or 4" part of the test. I say 3 is better than 4. He states well that was a piece of paper on the road you didn't see.....

    I am dumbfounded at this point. We finish that test we get to his next test. Brings the machine to my eyes, then pulls it away and tells me that he knows police officers and if I was in a car accident, I could be charged with reckless manslaughter. At this point, I have had enough. I have to push his machine away from my face and ask him, "Have you had someone or something happen to you, with someone driving without their prescription?" I felt so uncomfortable at this point, I have to leave the room. I ask for managers, he says he doesn't have any.... After me and him yell at each other out in the office, a manager shows up! I proceed to tell them how uncomfortable I felt during his tests in which he was too busy lecturing me on my driving without glasses then performing his task at hand.

    Never have I felt so out of place or harassed by a employer at his workplace. I was told regional manager would be in contact. But let's be honest, they never call you back.

    I have been back twice and got some runaround. I just went again and was told it was past the 60 day limit. I went to 2 other optical places and was told the problem is the anti glare is making them foggy and that they were too small for bifocal. The glasses are only about 90 days old, I wouldn't expect problems with them that soon. So I wouldn't go to Walmart. They do what they can to sell you every upgrade then don't provide a good product and won't make good on their products.

    The frameless glasses I ordered came in about a week late. I was told one of the lenses broke on installation which slowed the process (no big deal). After several weeks I noticed one lense was scratching very easily, unusual since I ordered scratch resistance coating. I returned to complain and they accused me of abusing the glasses and sent me on my way. No attempt was made to check to see if the lense they broke was treated with the scratch resistant coating or not. The present glasses I have (not from Walmart) have no scratches and are going on 6 years old. Some time later I made an appointment with the optometrist to check for an internal eye bleed I experienced. He ruled out a retina detachment, which it turned out to be. As a retina detachment needs immediate attention (surgery), he did me a great disservice by misdiagnosing my problem.

I sent them back and paid another fifty dollars for glare control, and I buy the cleaner wipes too, but there is continually a glare or a smudge on them. I have had many glasses over 84 years, but I have never had to clean any glasses as much as I do these. I can't see good out of them most of the time. They really get on my nerves. I bought them at the Walmart on Anderson in Ft. Worth, Texas. I plan to get them checked out by another optometrist, to see what is wrong with them.

    Went into local vision center to get my child's stuff. Current contact prescription optometrist no longer employed whom completed exam there so current optometrist stated "not his problem". Do not go there. Wow walmart disgusted with your vision department not able to get contact prescription refilled at local area.

    I can't understand the problems people have with Walmart vision Center. The one here in North Iowa is very good quality, and excellent service. I highly recommend. I got The Polycarbonate NL Progressives with Xtra active Transitions.

    I purchased a six-month supply of contacts from Wal-Mart but I'm now on my fourth pair. They're chipping and splitting so I took them back. They manager Shelia has a smart mouth. She told me every problems I might be doing wrong yet I've been wearing contacts since I was sixteen. Instead of her just saying it's a manufacturers fault she keep at telling me what I did wrong. Yes I called the manufacturer and they said the same thing I said. They offered to give me free contacts and I happily accepted.

    I call to tell her the great news and said I'll be returning the ones I purchased. Her response was "Why would you do that if they are giving you free one." (Shaking my head) "Yeah, Well Miss Manager lady they are no good to me so I need my money back." She said she'll have to call the DM and she'll get back to me. When she called back she said she'll give me my refund back once I bring in the remainder. So I did. I had four pair with me, the others (the ones that split) I threw away. She was including the one I had on. My vision is terrible and can't see two feet in front of me if I don't have on contacts or my glasses. I was so upset I left the store calling the corporate office. Even the young man I was complaining to was in disbelief. So now I'm waiting on the district manager's call to see what he has to say about his "manager. "

    January 31, 2015, had my eye doctor app for new glasses, not Walmart. Upon checking my current glasses, they informed me that my glasses had the prescription was reversed. I have a stigma in my right eye, Walmart put the stigma lens in the left eye. I have had trouble with these glasses from the beginning two years ago. I took them back several times with the complaint that they made my eyes strain and water. They would check them and say they are fine, that my eyes needed to adjust. I have been dealing with this for two years, thinking it was my eyes! I took them back to the same store, all new people working. I explained what happened, they had no clue.

    They called me later, tues the 3rd feb, and offered 25% off a new pair. I had already told them I purchased new a few days ago. I asked for money back, they refused. I paid $650 for Walmart glasses, regular and sunglasses, the new also two pairs $450. I will go to the store manager next. Very unhappy with Walmart. What a mistake, as I am not a Walmart shopper. Never again.

    I was smelling a strange smell and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. After about a week I realized it was my new glasses I purchased from Wal-Mart. I washed them with soap and water and that helped but they still have a smell. This is my second pair of glasses from Wal-Mart. I don't remember having this problem with the first pair.

    On 11/20/14 I paid for a pair of glasses for my sister and she picked them up in two weeks around the first week in December, then because of the change of prescription, she had to order a different pair of glasses which she picked up around Christmas time. She has actually worn the glasses for a month and realized that the frame is too big and does not fit at all and she has tried all the frames in the store and nothing else is better, so she decides to return the glasses.

    Today on 01/28/15 I call the vision center about the return and the lady worked there told me that it has passed the 60 days return policy that she has nothing can do to help. Apparently the 60 days begin from the day we pay, not the day we receive the glasses. This is so frustrating to my sister who is a nursing student and can't afford another $400 for another pair. I wish Walmart is as good as Target vision center which has a 90 days return policy that is reasonable. We are disappointed and will definitely never return to the center or recommend it to anyone.

    I went to the vision center in Wal-Mart tonight to see if I could get an appointment on Monday, and they took down all my information and then asked me when I wanted to be seen, and I said "Monday morning" and the lady said okay. And then she asked "do you have insurance", and I replied "yes I do I have Montana state medicade", and she said "well since you're a medicade patient, you have to be seen last and I have an opening for Saturday." I felt like I was being discriminated against but I said okay and came home and talked to my family about it and they all said that's discrimination. I am definitely not going back there. That was my first time ever to go to Wal-Mart vision center and it will definitely be the last time ever.
