My original eye appointment back in February was great. The gentleman who did my exam was very friendly, helpful, and I had no complaints at all. I had a completely different experience when I came in today to have my glasses repaired after they were accidentally broken. The receptionist was very kind and did everything she could to help me. After checking that my glasses were still under warranty, another employee with long dark brown hair asked me to come sit with her. That's when the visit became very uncomfortable. She moved papers on her desk with force and looked at the receptionist like I had sat in the wrong spot. She took my information and started looking for replacement frames. While she was searching, she repeatedly slammed drawers, threw bags of frames around, and handled everything very aggressively. Since the back room has glass walls, I could see everything she was doing. At one point something fell, and she threw it back toward the glass wall hitting it hard enough that it startled me. Her tone, body language, and the way she was handling everything made me feel like I was an inconvenience for simply being there. When she finally found the replacement frames, she called out to the receptionist that she had found them, popped my lenses into the new frames, handed them back, and I left as quickly as I could after paying. I do want to mention again that the receptionist was wonderful. She was kind the entire time and even quietly apologized, which I appreciated. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this experience was uncomfortable enough that I don't plan on returning.

Shout out to Ian! Thank you for taking such good care of me. 2 pairs of single vision glasses the same day. Great prices and even better service. I highly recommend Ian and Stanton Optical.
I really appreciated the ability to have same-day glasses made. They also offer free repair service for glasses purchased. We have taken advantage of that a couple of times for my son and it always has been a smooth and easy process!
Lori is an absolute rockstar. She helped me find the perfect glasses. The perfect contacts has done multiple adjustments for me just to make sure that I’m satisfied this was my first time coming to Santon optical and as long as Lori works here, I’ll be coming back.
I’m only giving 5 stars for Lori. She was the only person working and regardless of the overwhelming amount of people coming in she maintained a professional and calm demeanor and somehow gave everyone the time and attention they deserved. It’s actually ridiculous to have 1 person in charge of everything in the store including the job of an optometrist. Shame on corporate. I was so impressed at how great at her job she was. Most people wouldn’t be able to handle those expectations but she made it look easy. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves. Please value great workers who go above and beyond like Lori. Thanks girl 💖
