Stanton Optical - Any Feedback or Input?

[sharpstick777]

I have noticed that Stanton Optical is growing rapidly, many new stores in both Florida and California, which are states hit hard by the recession. I think they are at 29 locations now with 7 more on the way.

Do you have any feedback on the company? Their service? Their frames? Their lenses?

Since they offer in house surfacing, how do they handle AR? And what are they doing differently than Lenscrafters?

Just curious what the input of people who have been to their stores (or work there) is...

I do not work there but if you go on their website they sell all the goodies in all lens brands

Interesting. One thing they are doing different than LC is offering VSP, oops, I mean Marchon frames. I also don't recall LC offering "SPECIALS" on eye exams.

Truly "Professional" ECP's might consider not supporting the vendors on their supplier list but you guys continue to do so - time after time after time (Optiboarder's are so pro-EOA and Zeiss)

If you check out the patient comments on Yelp.com for the individual locations you'll see that Stanton Optical can be pretty bad.

Dont know about Stanton, but YELP=FRAUD.
They filter the reviews like crazy, write their own review and extort money from businesses!
