I have been a loyal customer of Glasses & Contacts Galore for over 20 years, but my recent experience was extremely disappointing. Within just one year, my prescription changed, so I needed new lenses in several pairs of glasses I had purchased there. Even though it’s a 50-minute drive from where I live, I stayed loyal and returned for an eye exam and lens replacements. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward process turned into multiple unnecessary trips back and forth. The first set of lenses was completely off. I had to return for another exam, then return again to have lenses remade. When I finally got my glasses back, one of my frames (purchased from them just a year earlier) broke within 24 hours. The sunglasses lenses they made also didn’t fit properly and would pop out with ease. To make matters worse, when I pointed this out, I was told I had to pay for a new frame—even though it was their lenses that damaged the one I bought from them just a year ago. Only after I became upset was I offered a “discount,” which honestly felt insulting after being a loyal customer for decades. After 20+ years of giving this business my trust, I walked away feeling like they didn’t value my loyalty at all. Instead of standing behind their work and doing the right thing, they pushed the cost onto me. Sadly, I can no longer recommend Glasses & Contacts Galore.

They are the kindest people ever! Had 3 appointments and we were all taken care of in a timely manner, and got the exact glasses we were looking for. They took their time with our exams, prices were fair, and we received our glasses within 2 weeks, considering the holiday. I highly recommend them. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I can’t say enough good things about this place! They have an amazing selection of glasses, and their prices are unbeatable—even better than many others I’ve compared. The customer service is top-notch; they truly go above and beyond to make the process smooth and enjoyable. I got my daughters all set up with contacts, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Plus, it only took a week for us to pick up both our glasses and contacts, which was super convenient. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality eye care and unbeatable service!

Worst service ever. I asked to put the lenses from my broken glasses into a new frame. He cut the lenses in such a way that you could fit a finger between the lens and the frame. This cost me $ 55! Wish the same service for whole his family at rest of life.
