They are a good place with affordable glasses. However the internet is incorrect in as far as the Effingham Illinois store. They are currently not accepting medicaid. I called and checked on 03-18-2026. It's a shame because they have a wonderful selection unlike other places when it comes to medicaid. I'm assuming that's not a decision made by public aid because one would assume they'd prefer a more affordable place.

Very thorough exam. Reasonable price. Actually went in for a second opinion on an eye exam I had gotten done. He was very kind and able to show me the comparable difference between his exam, the script I brought with me and my current glasses which are no where near current. His was much crisper compared to the other I had a gotten. Also asked if I had been dilated and when I said not in a long long time, offered that. No trouble giving me my pupil distance either..I had been told previously elsewhere they couldn't. Very happy and will be going there again when I need to get new glasses again.
Not only have the protective coating on my daughters lifetime warranty glasses peeled and the center refused to replace them without a new prescription (expired during covid when no drs were seeing patients) leaving my 15 yo struggling to do school work which was then all on a screen, now that the eye Dr is finally open and we have a new script, the center is only open from 10 to 2. If you are a two job family of essential workers you cannot get into the Walmart eye center. We have had no issues for 8 years, but this year has been nothing but.
I have been going here for years. Quick friendly service, lots of selection for me and my 7ry old daughter:) Last visit we made we both got glasses and a pair of sunglasses. It was under $400 and we had them in less than a week. I would definitely recommend trying them out for yourself!
Went here today for a contact exam. I was in and out in under an hour. I’ve been to many different Walmart’s for eye exams and this Walmart eye center was by far the best!!! Wonderful staff!
