Wow, what an experience. Walmart says in commercials to stop by their optical department for a frame adjustment. So I walked into WM Optical, asked for an adjustment in the right arm of my glasses, just a little bend at the end. The optician explained this adjustment would be done at my risk. Heck, it's just a back of the arm adjustment, something Ive had done a dozen times to multiple frames in fifty years with no injury, so I replied that I understood the risk. The optician took my eyeglasses into the back room and then returned in ten quick seconds with my frames broken around the left lens in two places, a place that had not needed adjustment. I will not be returning after that extremely unfortunate $400 hit to my wallet. That's more than a month's worth of food for me.

Walmart visions center, located in Gainesville, Florida on 441. The service is very slow the employee was rude. I walked in to pick up glasses. I stood at the counter for about 10 minutes before I was acknowledged.and then the employee that was sitting at the table with another customer she yelled across the room. I'll be with you in a minute. The service was not good.
Lauren and Brenda were wonderful! My 7 year old son Oliver needed new glasses. Lauren helped us choose a pair that were very handsome. She was so kind to Oliver. The order was placed and arrived very quickly. When we went to pick them up Brenda got them perfectly adjusted for him. He is very comfortable with his new glasses. Thank you ladies.
Lauren and Brenda were absolutely amazing. I had never had so much fun buying glasses. They were kind, polite, joyful to help and very helpful, showing me all the options on glasses, payments. We had a blast! Thank you Brenda and Lauren. 🥰
