I am beyond disappointed with the customer service and product quality at this location. I recently purchased two pairs of glasses—one clear prescription and one pair of sunglasses. I initially liked the sunglasses so much that I immediately placed a second order to double my purchase. However, that’s where the positive experience ended. After wearing the clear lenses for a few days, I noticed a severe flare and light reflection, particularly from screens and light bulbs. It made them nearly impossible to use comfortably. When I returned to address this, the staff was dismissive. Instead of listening to my concerns, the first associate immediately blamed me, stating I had declined an "extra coating." Regardless of the add-ons, a brand-new pair of prescription lenses should not have this level of distortion in the first week. The situation worsened when the manager got involved. I was told I had to wait for my second order to arrive just to "compare" them and see if the fault lied with the store or the lab. Treating two separate orders as a test case for a defect is unprofessional. The only solution offered to fix a pair of glasses I had just bought was for me to pay an additional fee. Because they refused to stand behind their product or offer a reasonable resolution, I cancelled my second order entirely. I am keeping the first pair only for the frames so I can have the lenses remade correctly elsewhere. I won't be returning.

I was greeted at the door. I was shown where the fountain and bathrooms are located. The tech who helped me with testing was pleasant and knowledgeable. The dr was efficient and informative. Also friendly. David, who helped me choose frames and get measured for glasses was patient and helpful. Everyone said goodbye and have a nice day.
The entire experience was great from start to finish. Scheduling and completing my appointment was so easy, and the doctor and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. What stood out to me most was how clearly the team explained my options and the costs upfront. In the past, I’ve dealt with surprise charges, so this level of transparency was huge for me. It truly made this a unique and stress-free experience. I never felt rushed or like a burden. it was clear that everyone genuinely wanted to help and make the process smooth. I’m excited to get my new glasses!
This was the BEST vision center I have been to. So caring, honest, and easy to communicate with. Was able to get in the same day I called, and was seen at the time scheduled with out a wait. I strongly recommend Visionworks 👍
I absolutely loved there selection of glasses. The variety is amazing. Prices can't be beat either. 3rd place I went and I bought my new trendy glasses from here. Most definitely will return and will tell everyone about them.
