I did not like my visit today. It's been 2 years since my last eye exam and things have changed. That's understandable. I had a remote eye exam today, my first, so I was not prepared for that experience. The assistant was pleasant and answered my questions and kept the conversation going as we waited for the remote tech and doctor. I get it, technology advances that is, but the wait was a bit much. I got through that. Then the selecting of glasses. Now I am a big fan and believer in customer service. Well when I got to the reception are to begin perusing frames, that's when they dropped the ball. No one said anything, did not offer assistance, nothing. It wasn't until I went to inquire about my paperwork that I was even acknowledged. There were 3 people at desks mind you, and at that time, I was the only customer for a few minutes. Anyhoo, one of the ladies offered assistance after my inquiry. After I selected some frames and was heading back to her, another customer came in. OK, fine but here I am waiting and instead of the other employee offering to assist until her colleague was done...nothing. The 3rd employee, nothing. I understand each has a role, but customer service and satisfaction should be paramount. If I would have had my paperwork in hand, I would have left and went somewhere else to purchase frames. I have had pleasant experiences before at this location, but if I am spending my money and time, each experience should be a pleasurable one. For me, after I get my new glasses, I will not be returning to this location.

I had the best experience working with Melissa. My mom is paralyzed and her wheelchair is being serviced. Melissa and her team came out to the car to help my mom. It was a big relief because I didn't want my mom to go without glasses to long and also it's a struggle getting her around without her chair right now. They made it so much easier for us and I appreciate that. Thank you Melissa and team. They also have the best deals.
I am SO grateful for Melissa at Eyeglass World. After a terribly frustrating experience with ordering online that had my glasses order canceled after waiting 15 days, she had my glasses completed 5 hours after I called the store in desperation. She was super professional and helpful. Thank you, Melissa for helping me out and being so personable. I’m the hiring manager for a healthcare company, so when I see people who are so great at their job, it makes me happy! You’re a rockstar. Eyeglass World is so incredibly fortunate to have you.
I have 4 kids that all wear glasses. I am always looking for the best deals with the best protection plans. Melissa was the amazing associate that helped me. I came to her store in north Lakeland with two very broken pair of glasses from my youngest son. By some magic and super skill she was able to fix both pair of glasses. Bring your broken glasses in, they are great with repairs!!! Thank you Melissa.
What a lifesaving experience. Glasses broke, I do IT for a living so was absolutely hurt when it happened. I don’t know who I talked to, but I was welcomed by all, she helped me on the spot by repairing my glasses for me. It may have been minor to you but it was major for me. Absolutely love and appreciate the staff and hasty gesture
