| - I needed some new glasses and also wanted to check on getting some new prescription lenses for my Oakley sunglasses. Since around 2014 AD I started using Yelp reviews as my key research application to find restaurants, activities and shopping options; peer reviews are the most honest in my opinion. Sometimes only the negative, angry people leave reviews, so I consider this as well when Yelping around.
I chose this location even though, as of this review, it only averaged two Yelp stars out of 25 reviews. (This review will be their 26th review). The reason I went ahead and checked this location out was because it was close and convenient.
When my wife and I arrived on Saturday, 27 August 2016 AD in the early evening, we were greeted immediately. There were about 8 people in the show room with 3 Lens Crafters salespeople helping them. I brought in my own eyeglass prescription given by my doctor and wanted some Oakley clear lens glasses. This location had a great selection of frames, though most of them were pricey. After about 5 minutes I asked for someone to help me so they got one of the lens technicians from the back.
The tech's name was Christian and he was extremely helpful. I was able to find what I wanted and Christian double-checked my vision insurance to make sure I had the appropriate coverage. I was asking about prescription lenses to replace in my Oakley sunglass frames and found out they were too expensive. I then asked about Ray Ban brand frames and lenses and was quoted the wrong price.
When I went back a couple days later to get my glasses, a lady quoted me another price for the Ray-Ban brand lenses and they were also too expensive. I have to say, I don't mind paying the initial cost for cool frames but HOLY CRAP!!! Spending between $200.00 to $400.00 for REPLACEMENT LENSES is +INSANE!+ You could feed a small village in the 3rd world for that! Ridiculous!
A buddy of mine at work put me on to a website that makes inserts you can clip behind your sunglass frames, to put your prescription lenses into - they are a TON cheaper!
It chaps my buddles that consumerism and greed have become so rampant! Fight the power! Someone +PLEASE+ invent cool frames that people can afford!
This location was friendly, clean, offered a great selection and was diligent on double-checking my vision insurance. I will give them 5 stars mainly to bring, "balance" to the other reviews; a fair amount of the reviews were from a year or longer ago. The price of the frames was high - so try Costco if you want cheaper frames, however, the lenses may cost about the same.
I would return.
