I was visiting the area when I lost a nose pad from my eyeglasses. Finding a replacement proved surprisingly difficult because my frame has a J-hook-style mount that requires slide-in nose pads. No regular retailers carried them, and even after visiting a few large eyeglass chains, I had no luck. Another eyeglass shop recommended that I try Visionworks, and I’m very glad they did. When I went there a gentleman greeted me courteously, examined the frame, and explained that while they probably didn’t have an exact match, they might be able to find something similar that would fit. After a short wait, a kind lady took over. She carefully searched through their options, found the best fit, installed the nose pads, and had my glasses back to me in less than ten minutes. Best of all, they did it as a complimentary service and with a smile. After struggling to find help elsewhere, that simple act of kindness and excellent customer service made a lasting impression. Visionworks won me over as an admirer for life—and very possibly a future customer. Thank you very much. It was truly appreciated.

I was in on yesterday to pick out new glasses. The male that waited on me was nice, but he kept trying to push more expensive add on items that I did not want. I had made it clear what I wanted, but he kept insisting. This was a big turn off, plus I don't think the insurance estimate that he gave me was correct. I left and went to My Eye Doctor to do my order. Vision works had a better selection, but I was not going to pay double the price for a similar pair of glasses.
Always love coming to Visonworks for glasses, especially with their coupons. They always have a good selection, but the prices and overall cost is a huge savings. They have always been ready and able to help make any adjustments for all of my family with no problem. Staff are always friendly, thorough, and a pleasure to work with.
The staff was very knowledgeable and very pleasant and very helpful with choices and true honest choices. About the way they look on you. I'd really appreciate
Great service. Matt offers great customer service. Will be back for my next set of glasses.
