All I'm saying is save your time and money and just go get ur eye exam at cost co. They WILL give you your PD because they care about customer experience. And they also thought it was weird this place wouldn't give me mine. Nice way to loose a new customer and a many year return customer. Also this seems to be a location problem. Never had this problem at any of the other locations. This place gives scam and money hungry vibes. I went here for an eye exam. It went okay until I got to check out. I had asked the doctor about getting my pupillary distance because I order my glasses online. He said it will come out when I check out okay. Then when I got done putting my contacts in I had to ask someone who was going to help me check out. Dylan was supposed to help me. I sat down and I told him I usually get contacts at Costco because it's cheaper. He typed for awhile on the computer and it was awkward silence. Then he said yea it's probably cheaper okay here's your total. (6months of contacts were going to cost about $80 - cost co quoted the same $80 for 9 months........) I paid for the exam. Then came my prescription and my PD is blank. I questioned about it and they said "it's a liability" to give it to me because I was not purchasing glasses with them.... What? A bunch of the people working were questioning me and their attitudes were not nice. One lady called Walmart to assure me they wouldn't give it to me either. Little did they know I went to Walmart out of state before. I've been wearing glasses since I was 10 and I've never had a problem asking for my PD. My boyfriend also has never had this problem. He had an eye exam (no glasses) with americas best in Colorado and they gave him his PD then. No problem. It's a problem because I'm not spending my money with you though. Interesting. Also mind you he brought his old frames in and they charged a $20.00 "handling fee". Dylan had wandered away at this point and they had to find someone else who thankfully was more pleasant. I honestly cannot believe the service here. It's unfortunate. Very unfortunate. I noticed this sign on the way out reading : "whatever it takes. Our commitment to you to do whatever it takes to ensure you're completely satisfied with the product and services we provided you today." I would also like to note they conveniently didn't send me a survey but did send one to my boyfriend. They also had the guts to schedule another eye exam for next year which I did not consent to. How interesting they wouldn't take a simple measurement for customer satisfaction. Seems if all you want to do is throw away money. This is your place. Needless to say I won't be a return customer. I noticed this sign on the way out reading : “whatever it takes. Our commitment to you to do whatever it takes to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the product and services we provided you today.” Unable to post the photo of this sign. Do better.

The Shorewood location has the best reviews, so that's why I chose them for my prescription eyeglasses. The ladies there are very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I suggest that you ask for Remi. She made sure my insurance co-pay was well less than I expected it to be for designer eyeglasses to correct my nearsightedness. The ETA was 12/16/2023, however they were ready early. I picked them up today, a full eight days sooner than expected. I'll be sure to refer anyone on my company's health insurance plan.
Jerran and Dr are very professional and knowledgeable. Very kind to me and aware of my concerns. Be back in 1 year.
The manager (Lisa, I believe) was extremely kind when I came in to ask if she could fix my granddaughter’s glasses. She took time to repair & straighten them. I truly appreciate her efforts and expertise.
I cannot say enough good things about Dylan. He was amazingly patient with my scatterbrained self and I’ve enjoyed getting to know him when I’ve needed to stop in the store to pick up my new glasses and contacts. I’m so grateful and thankful to of met such a wonderful person. I wish him nothing, but amazing things in his life.
