I have been a customer for several years. Multiple glasses and lenses purchased due to changing eyes. The staff at America's Best in York, PA have been great to work with. When their supplier for a sun glass frame had difficulty with the lenses, they provided alternatives and worked with me. I experienced excellent service from the staff. Mike the manager was involved and was super to work with. Next time I need glasses I'll be back. I recommend the York, PA America's Best! - Doug D.
I ordered 2 sets of glasses online on 7/4/24, they showed estimated ship date of 7/14/24. It's now 7/19/24 and I can't even get a status update, after waiting over 30 minutes on hold I gave up and left a voicemail message. We'll see if I get any response from "customer care" or should I say "customer, we don't care".
I didnt wear a mask. They didn't ask why. They treated me like I was a carrier of leprosy. Forced me to wait outside. The girl was rude and full of fear. Said it was "company policy" to trat me this way. I will be bro gong my business elsewhere.
BEST SERVICE EVER! Had my exam back in May. Found out I have Cataract in both eyes. Right eye worse than the left. So I go for surgery for right eye this Monday. Left eye not schedule for another 2 weeks. I called my Americas Best Office in Noblesville Indiana and spoke with Sherry about the situation. Dr Baker told me I could get a contact for my left eye if I wasn't getting surgery back to back. So she took the notes down, said she'd talk to Dr as soon as he was done with a patient. I want you all to know that Sherry did what she said she'd do. She even OVERNIGHTED it to me to make sure I had it for Monday. (Today is Saturday). Sherry thank you so much for everything. A thank you really isn't enough for what you did for me. This office has wonderful staff and such a friendly Doctor. We drive an hour to go there and it's so worth it. You won't be disappointed, I promise. Kim Moffitt

Needed 1 contact. It was overnighted to me. They are the best.
The FRAUDULENT claim that it's $79.95 for an eye exam plus two pairs of glasses is absolutely a balld face LIE. They charge $79.95 for the exam and prescription. Then they charge for frames, lenses, scratch guard, progressive lenses, and warranty. They are LYING through their teeth to get SUCKERS in the door. It hasn't always been like this. I have been a customer since the mid 1990's and was satisfied and returned. Honestly, I will NEVER, EVER use America's WORST contacts and eyeglasses ever again! Also, In Grandview, Missouri they don't have a Doctor on site! The exam was performed by a flunky who told me she was the doctor's hands! Really beyond BAD, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! They get a NEGATIVE 10 star rating! 💩💩💩
Nydrea was informative and very kind. I had a quick and pleasant exam and visit. The manager CiCi was very helpful in directing me in how to go about the process. Professional staff and once again very friendly. Ask for Nydrea! 5 Stars hands down.
Overall service was very good. I went in for an adjustment today and William fixed the problem. I'm so happy after he corrected my glasses. Thank you William!
Had been having problems with my eyes. Had gone to two other eye Drs. Still problems. Needed glasses so chose America's Best. Fairfield Mall Oh. Arrived early. They were always letting me know the people who went b4 me had appts. And that I was early. I understood. I was really excited when the Dr told me why my eyes hurt. None of the other Drs caught it. Thank You 'Dr Mendosa' you rock! And when the appt was over my tech 'Kate' took over with my glasses. She is a great tech. Helping me and really care-ing. I got three pair. One for distance. Reading. And a pair of mono vision.
I just went back to pick
Them up. Am over the moon with delight! Love them all! I can see once again! THANK YOU KATE N DR MENDOSA

Arrive early or at least on time.. be nice.. expect nice.. expect great knowledge.. and service..
In Gurnee IL the Dr examined 3 patients, while the "fitters" were working on one. Waited 1 HR before I left without my glasses were ordered. The staff weremaking faces whenthey had to take some one's order, or just walk away to return after 10 min or so, and start complaining about something to the coworker. Will never use their service.
One pair of glasses hadn't even been put together. I should have went to pick up my glasses myself so that I could have complained there. There was no screws in the frame or glasses case. Like they forgot to assemble them. Then my sister has gotten two pairs of glasses from them one pair the tint was not put on right. It looks like the lenses are shattered and another pair they are so foggy you can't see out of them. I myself spent 280$ cash on the pair of glasses that wasnt assembled. That is rediculous. I have also called numberous times to America's best in Lakewood by the Lakewood mall and have asked them over and over again to email me or fax me over my prescription so that I may order glasses from somewhere else they always tell me yes and never do.

Go somewhere else don't waste your money

My hubby and I went to have our eyes examined at America's Best in Oxford, Al. Worst eye exam we've ever had in our life. First we waited almost 30 mins before being seen and plus my hubby had an accident so sitting in them uncomfortable chairs make it any better. So as hubby was getting eye exam he told the lady that he couldn't see the letters on the board. So she claims she fixed it and gave him his Rx. We go to Sam's Club to purchase eyeglasses and get Rx filled. Eyeglasses came back and hubby kept telling the lady at Sam's Club that he can't see and she said try finding a spot and give it two weeks. Well we then call America's Best to get another eye exam from a different provider. How about the man said oh the previous person have you Rx wrong. She had the OD at a negative and he said it should have been a positive. Okay cool we get the new RX go back to Sam's Club get Rx changed. Few weeks later we go pick this second lens. Hubby was like something still isn't right. So we come back home and he starts having headaches from wearing these eyeglasses. Hubby then decides I'm gonna call another provider which he has to pay out of pocket. Well what do you know both previous providers at America's Best had his Rx all wrong he can see now. So this morning I decided to contact David Insurance to explain to them what had happened. She reached out to America's Best and they refuse to reimburse the examination back to us. So she suggests filling a complaint so that's what we have done. So instead of being called America's Best they should be called America's Worst Eyeglasses.

Don't waste your time this place is a scam... Just find a good Dr or go to walmart where you know what your getting. I made an appointment I had frames they told me I could use the frames that I had... It cost $75 for the exam. I sat down they told me no we can't use your frames you have to use ours. So I picked out theirs. Which were crap. And they cost another $105$. I didnt even get a nice pair of glasses they were just ok. I feel so upset that they scammed me. I would not ever go there again. And I would not ever tell anyone to go there. This place is crap. I hate walmart and I would tell everyone to go there first. Plastic frames and lens...
Pathetic service, cheap product, everything is a rush, will never again shop there. Don't waste your time. They are cheap for a reason.

I have purchased glasses from America's Best in the past.
Today I went to the store in Holmdel N. J. to have two pair of glasses repaired
The screws fell out of them.
I was greeted by Kervin he immediately took the glasses and fixed them which took him
Awhile it wasn't an easy fix. When finished I asked what I owed and he politely said no charge.
The service from Kervin and the Holmdel store is unbeatable.
I would recommend Americas' Best in Holmdel to everyone.
Especially Kervin

The staff at the Mesquite Tx location was awesome and the staff and the optometrist was totally nice!
I visited the Monroeville store and had a great experience. I was impressed with the wait time, the cleanliness of the store, the pleasant, friendly and very welcoming staff, price, selection and Tracy, the manager. She was so knowledgable and helpful and not pushy at all. I was very happy when I left and I will be going back for all my eyeglass needs.

Could not get my prescription right! Charged me for 2 separate exams and still could not get it right. Ordered contacts wound up canceling the order due to no traceability of the order and people at the store could care less!

Yeah, my exam & everything was great... all I needed to know waa when my eyeglasses were coming in and I thought that was a simple question, but I was put on hold 30 minutes a shot each time never got the answers and I went through about four or five different people instead of saying I'm really not sure will try to get back with you nothing no customer service no personality it was horrible got my glasses and now I believe I either had him lost or stolen I thought there was a warranty with it the lady in the place that I got it that answered the phone she put me on hold just left the receiver setting on the counter off the phone jack... my question is if that's how they do business I won't be back I'll take my prescription elsewhere like Walmart the guy that did the exam has pretty decent I'll probably go back for him to review my eye health and well-being but other than that I would never go back
When someone goes above and beyond for you It should be recognized. That's why I am writing about Katlynn Tyler.
I am from out of town and don't have an eye dr here. I started having vision problems and pain. I made several calls and couldn't get an appointment for a month. Until I spoke to Kaitlynn, she spoke with a nurse where she works and determined that I shouldn't wait to be seen. Katlynn then spent a lot of time calling many places until she found me an appointment for the next day. I can't thank her enough for what she did. Katlynn is a true asset to her field.
Went in and had them precheck my insurance and got all the facts. Seems like it was a con from the word go. They were trying to charge me 459. For
Lenses that is straight lenses with bifocal. When I declined because they couldn't break it down I left with the frames. Seems they maxed me out on the frames. Insurance said they charged me as if they had used the prescription and advised me to go back and request a refund. I went in and got dirty looks and had a 20 minute wait. The GM was barking at me and they did a refund rude and not happy. Same glasses same prescription down the street I Had 15. Out of pocket. Lot different than 459. For the same identical item.

A year ago I went to "America's Best" to get 2 pairs of glasses for around $100. NOT!
While they do have a small selection of $79 glasses the prices of their frames are mostly around $149. Even though I found 2 pairs of frames I liked that were each $29.00 "closeouts" I was quoted a final cost of $589.00! I told them I wanted GLASS which they said they don't do. They tried to sell me their "top quality scratch resistant plastic" which is total crap since no Matt how much I've been charged in the past THEY ARE SCRATCHED within a couple months. I do wear bifocals so I understand there is an upcharge for that but I requested NO EXTRAS! The final cost was $450.
I will never go back to America's Best Rip Off again.
Worst place ever had a phone call a day before appointment just to let me know I need a extra adult to be im with my children when they are 15 Year old 13 and 12 I don't know for what when they are not little kids waisted my time scheduling appointments instead of just saying it when people schedule it ahead a time meaning not a day ahead but a whole week ahead time not even worth a whole star
I purchase a $90 dollar pair of glasses and within three weeks one of the lens fell out. I was able to place it back into the glasses. Then within 6 weeks I simply put on a hoodie and the wire frame came out and my glasses were useless. These are America's Worst Glasses, STAY AWAY!

Went to America's Best for eye exam and new contact lenses on May 28 and the order wasn't sent out from the store until June 17. And probably wouldn't have gone out then if I hadn't called to see where they were. I will never go to America's Best again.

I went into the Tamarac location to get an eye exam which I regret. I normally go to LensCrafters at Aventura but didn't feel like taking the drive and dealing with the traffic. I wish that I just went to my doctor. I had an eye exam at American Best and it is taking them a month to get back my trial pair contacts. I never had to wait so long for contacts let along a trial pair. I would never go back to this company!
