I did some price comparisons before I decided to make an appointment with Stanton for contacts. Since I have astigmatism most places up-charge for that but when I was on the phone with one of their rep he assured me it was $89 regardless of my astigmatism or not so I was pretty ecstatic about that. Made my appointment for the next day. When I came in, Hillary was the first to greet me even though she was helping another customer, which I would've understood if she hadn't since she was already helping someone out. She got me checked in very quickly after and was very pleasant. John was also very helpful and extremely nice as well. He told me just the right information I needed so I didn’t have a lot of questions after and kept me informed of my prescription through out the entire process. After the eye exam, because their prices were pretty awesome I decided to grab a six month supply of contacts for 130, and a pair of glasses for around 15, since Hillary gave me an option of purchasing a pair of glasses with a promotion price with ordering the contacts as well. I went home with a pair of contacts on the spot since they had my prescription, and only spent 370. Which seems like a lot for even myself because this is my first time purchasing eye glasses and contacts for myself, but I got a pretty good deal compared to how much I would’ve spent with with my previous optometrist that my dad goes to (with much better customer service as well) and other optical stores. Plus my appointment was at 10, and I was out in 45-50 minutes, which I spent about 15-20 of that looking at frames for myself. Over all my first experience here was awesome. I did read the reviews from previous years before I even decided to come here when there were a lot of complaints but my experience has been nothing but very professional and pleasantly easy. I’m definitely coming back here from now on for any problems and optical needs I might have.

My experience here is always great! I was helped by Daisy who had the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. She made my process so easy and helped me find the best deal! I definitely recommend this place! Also, I received my glasses in a short amount of time. They make an effort to get it done when you need it. Thanks Daisy for being awesome! Also thanks to the tech who worked on my specs! I appreciate it!

The shop where I bought my recently broken glasses was closed. Looking for something nearby I found Stanton Optical in La Mesa. One of the screws was missing. They took care of me immediately. In something like 5 minutes they came back to me apologizing for the wait. No problem. What's the charge for the service? Nothing. How do you beat that? I'm not even a customer yet. 5 stars!

I came in for a new pair of glasses and another 6 month supply of contacts, expecting to spend well over $300. The manager, Tony, helped me out and he was so personable and helpful. He was able to save me almost $180! I felt relieved leaving and knowing I got a really good deal.

What a great experience we had at Stanton optical La Mesa. I had the pleasure to work with Nina Duprat she was so kind and patient towards my children. This was my children’s first experience getting an eye examination outside of a normal doctor appointment and Nina explained everything to each child and helped them get through there own anxiety that they had created. After the children’s exams she took the extra time to help them find the right glasses for each of my children. I definitely recommend Stanton Optical!! They have amazing customer service.

Nina Duprat was an incredibly knowledgeable sales associate and her professionalism and work ethic speaks volumes about the quality of service you can expect to receive when coming to Stanton Optical. The optometrist is incredibly professional and empathetic. He made me feel so comfortable and I genuinely appreciated the quality service.

Had never been to Stanton Optical before so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was very pleased with how well everything went, & I wouldn't hesitate to visit the La Mesa store again. Everyone was very friendly, efficient & professional, especially Tiffany who keeps the place running like a well-oiled machine. Kudos to her for a job well done!

Tiffany was wonderful. She acknowledged me right away, she was very detailed oriented, as well as very engaging. We had a delightful conversation. I ordered two pair of eye glasses, one of which they were able to give me that day. I would highly recommend Stanton Optical, this was my first experience with them, but it will most certainly not be my last. Thanks again Tiffany

I had a lovely time there at Stanton Optical. Doctor thoroughly explained everything during eye exam. Staff was very welcoming especially Tiffany who had helped me throughout my first time visit there. She was very helpful in showing me my options on purchasing frames and the necessities needed for lenses. Prices are a bit high but that’s due to high quality of lenses and frames. Would definitely recommend overall.

Best place ever. A little steep on prices but that’s expected out of quality. They have always take care of my needs with glasses, and so quickly. FYI Joseph is the best, too. He’s very helpful.

I was beyond impressed with the entire staff at Stanton Optical in La Mesa. I had called in earlier in the day and was able to make an appointment for that same day for an eye/contact exam! The optometrist was amazing and very sweet. I'm really not kidding when I say every person I came into contact with was so pleasant to work with. I got a great deal on a new pair of frames and 6 months of contacts. They had my prescription lenses in stock and my frames were ready next day! My contacts also came in very fast which was nice but they do give you that trial pair so there's really no waiting! I would recommend Stanton Optical to my family and friends over and over again! I tell everyone I know that they should get their eyes checked as it is SO important and LIFE CHANGING when you are finally able to see clear again! 10/10 would recommend. Joseph was amazing on getting me good deal on my frames, lenses and contacts. He was very personable and customer service orientated! If you've read this review this far, your mind should be made up. GO SEE Joseph and the other staff at Stanton Optical in La Mesa!

I hate shopping for eyeglasses but had a surprisingly wonderful experience. I was helped by Cody who was very knowledgeable and funny. After picking out several frames he was a great help choosing the best ones based on symmetry and other details I often overlook. I'm very happy with my new glasses and love wearing them. Definitely going back to see Cody the next time I need help with eyeglasses!

My 1st thought that it has to be to good to be true....! Entering the 1st day the store opened, I was greeted by "Cody". I asked him immediately what the catch was and he kindly said there is no catch and I will get an eye examine and 2 pair of glasses for $69.99. Cody is very polite and professional as is the entire staff. I recommend this store highly for anyone needing glasses or contacts. I love both pair of my glasses! I got a pair for distance and a pair for close up....
