Go Elsewhere for Progressive Lenses
I thought getting the order for them would be painless. It wasn't. The staff member handed me off to the manager, which struck me odd. It's glasses, not a car dealership. She was a bit off-putting with an attitude, which I found unnecessary and not very encouraging....

Please have your associates be more polite and learn to have customers service. No matter how bad the day is if it wasn’t for the customers she would not have a job.

Upcharge
Associate trying to up charge me Dr gave me a script for single vision, and she tried to give me bifocal I just happen to see the script, and she said it would be $79 I showed her the scrip then she told me i couldn't get the 2 pair for $69. My Insurance did pay, but the money was not the issue also I was told it would take 14 days to get my glasses,I still don't have them. Not very happy Thanks Jerry Birch 864-494-****

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerTerrible customer service at the Avon OH location
They had me come to an appointment did my eye exam after waiting forever. When we were finished I went to look at glasses. After all of this they told me they do not take my insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not check that in the beginning and the associate helping me was very rude. Her customer service skills defiantly need to be improved. If you do not like your job then go elsewhere and work where you do not have to interact with people.
User's recommendation: Do not go here.

Lens quality and prescription error
I was truly disappointed with my eyeglass lens purchased with my Designer Frames in Cedar Hill, Tx. I too was given one price and when they finally came in I was told a higher price. I took them back because I paid for the No Glare for better night vision, representative said it was applied to my lens. He said some times it may not be strong enough so he took out my lens and went around the rim with a permanent black ink marker pen said it would help to block light that might be getting in?? still can not drive at night due to glare from oncoming car lights.Very disappointed, will not return.

Two pairs of glasses in 2 years - due to poor quality lenses
I bought (2) pairs of glasses with no line bifocals in (2) years. They range of view is the largest I have seen so far. However the quality of the lenses is absolute GARBAGE. 3 months after having them, the are completely scratched ( had that scratch protection coating). I use lens wipes and lens cloths ONLY to clean my lenses and they scratched the *** out of my lenses to the point I can no longer see out of the lenses. Its like a haze of fog when I look through them. I will not be buying any products from Americas Best ever again.
User's recommendation: DONT USE AMERICAS BEST.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerAmericas Worst Eyeglasses
My wife, who is 77 yrs old, had an appointment to get an eye examination and purchase glasses on Aug.24,2021 at 2:45 P.M. I drove her over and sat in the store with her, we arrived about 25 minutes before the scheduled time. I signed her in on the login sheet be back about 30 minutes later. No one ever told us to fill out a form and then have an eye test. One hour wasted. We walked out.
User's recommendation: Don't ever go there.

Horrible Company all around
Company is a horrible company to work for, after filing a complaint against an employee of this company I my daughter worked at they singled her out and pushed her to the point of leaving. After speaking to the Store Manager and Reg. Mgr, and being assured that this would be handled and they do not tolerate retaliation of any sort, well that retaliation happened with Mangers and higher up Manager to the point of forcing her to walk out and now refuse to pay her for the time she did work.
User's recommendation: DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerFalse Advertisement
Went to Dorman Center location for my 1st visit to America's Best. Although I had insurance wanted to charge me out of pocket for 2 pre-test (dilate my eyes). After my eye test (did not dilate) went out front to pick frames. Got my frames ($129.95) and was told I would owe $90+ out of pocket. I asked if that was for 2 pairs as shown on wall all around the store. I was told it was for 1 pair only and the 2 pair advertisement was for people who had no insurance. I did not get glasses from there and was charged $50. for the eye exam. VERY DISAPPOINTED with this type of advertising. I do not know why anyone with insurance would not be included in the 2 for 1 glasses. CROOKED
User's recommendation: Don't go there EVER.

Customer service
Been a customer going on 3 or 4 years. Went in at 9.30 am on a Monday morning and was told no appointment available until next week. The store was empty and surprisingly the sales rep didn't even acknowledge me. I would have thought that the unhelpful receptionist would have looked up info. Just left store extremely disappointed and surprised at lack of concern.Not professional at all.So its off to Stanton. W
