| - Maximum kudos to this place, and to Shannon in particular. I just wandered in here while window shopping to ask questions after having gone in the LensCrafters store to ask the same questions. I decided I liked what I heard in here and I was especially impressed with Shannon so I made an appointment to come back the next afternoon for my exam. They had told me I might be able to get my new glasses within an hour possibly if they have my prescription in stock,or the next day, which amazed me. I've always had to wait 2 weeks for new glasses and I won't be here in AZ in two weeks. I wanted a current RX when I went in to renew my drivers license when I return to San Diego.
My appointment the next afternoon went smoothly. The doctor was sort of a slightly gruffer version of Mr Rogers. I felt he was very thorough and examined my eyes for "floaters" and other maladies of maturing eyes. I was not surprised when he said I had a lot of them. I asked a lot of questions I had been formulating since my last exam and he answered them thoroughly. The assistant did the glaucoma exam and an area vision exam. All was fine with those. I ordered two pairs, one for distance only and one bifocals. I found two frames I really liked. They said the glasses would probably be ready the next day.
The next day I received a call that they would only be able to have one of the two pairs I ordered, the distance pair. I was happy at least I would have those you wear on drive home. But by the time I got there after 6pm they had both pairs ready! Happy me!
I have to say, they went out of their way to have the correct lenses sent over from the Chandler location so I could pick up both at once. You can't ask for better service than that. Both were adjusted, and I received new cases to carry them in and I walked out with better vision than I've had in years. I didn't like my previous pair of bifocals but I am extremely happy with these. Shannon really listened to my concerns about being able to do my crafting without getting a sore neck looking through the lower part. And I can see so well through the distance lenses I don't feel the need to change glasses to read a paper.
Maybe I'll just time my next appointment in a couple of years to coincide with a trip to AZ!
Oh, and pricewise, the exam was $71 including the $12 area vision test. The two pairs of glasses total were about $250,less than LensCrafters quoted me for one pair. I did upgrade to the poly-carbonate lenses on both pairs, transitional on one pair so they turn dark when I go outside (which I love!), and the price includes frames that were about $75 each. One frame was even those twistable, unbreakable ones that usually sell for $200-300 but was on sale.
