Many customers express frustration with misleading pricing and service delays, particularly related to glasses prescriptions. Overall, while some locations provide satisfactory service and quality products, widespread complaints about inconsistency in service and product reliability suggest a pressing need for improvement in customer care and operational efficiency across the board.

Bait and switch
May 9, 2023

$79 for 2 pair of glasses, right? Well not if you want lenses. Then the price doubles.
Want anything else, bifocals, lenses that are not real thick, it is really going to cost you.

After I kept answering no to all the options the price came to $129. Then I was told someone had to come and review the price. The "heavy hitter" came and informed me that it is a "package" deal and it would cost even more. Yep, the price ended up being $150.

I got up and walked out.

The folks at the Powell location was very professional and friendly. The glasses was repaired and fitted. We'll be returning in the near future for an eye exam. I give them a 5 star review.

Brought my prescription in to have two pair of glasses made for $79. After receiving them last year I wore one pair and put the other pair away in my drawer. Took them out the other day and one of the lenses fall out. I took them back and they stated the screw has broke and they can't fix them. They will however sell me a new frame for $69. Now they peddle their eye exam for $59 and didn't have to perform it but still charged $79 for the two pair of glasses. In any event, they don't stand behind their product and their customers are just walking dollar signs to them. (At least at my location in Amherst, NY

America's WORST!
April 26, 2023

Avoid, avoid, avoid! This place only wants your $$ does not care about you or your eyes. No eye dr even on staff, all done virtually! Refused to refund or give me my correct prescription after they sent the wrong order to my house. So I paid for contacts that are useless to me and have no recourses. Horrible horrible company. Avoid!

The Worst!
April 25, 2023

The first question I asked When making my apt was Do you take my insurance and they said yes, so I made an apt got my exam they never asked for my insurance until I asked about it after my exam was over and found out that they couldn't find what they were looking for for my insurance. They said they were going to call insurance the next day and call me back. They called me back and said that it was all covered. The doctor that checked my eyes was in another state but gave me some contacts to try but they were out and had to order them, well I called back a few weeks later and they still didn't come in, so i tried a few weeks after that and same answer. I called a third time and was told that they never were ordered. This was the worst experience that I ever had to deal with. I would rather for blind than to step foot in that place again.

My appointment was March 07,2023. My eyes were examined and I was promised contacts for March 22,2023. Today is April 24,2023 and the only products I have to show after paying America's Best in good faith are two different lies after reaching out to the Humble, Texas location twice. America's Best has blatantly failed to provide timely communication, honest responses and as of 4:00 pm today no product. I attempted to convey the fact that I paid the company in good faith to a representative by the last name of DelaSantos,she responded that my insurance paid for my order in a very indignant tone. At this point I've paid for merchandise that I can't access or make use of.

Very happy and please
April 24, 2023

My husband and I both purchases glasses at the Huber Heights, Oh location. The representative was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. She didn't try to push products on us but suggested what lenses would work best for our lifestyles. Will definitely return

Not good
April 22, 2023

I eye exam for contacts and doctor gave me pair to use until I get contacts in mail.I had the ones doctor gave me so tried on frist and they did not work. So when I got the new ones in the mail I carried them back. They told me to bring them back on my next visit and they would refund. So on my next visit I carried them back. And then they told me to bring them back when I get my new one and they would make a refund and a exchange. So when I carried them back the last time they told me it was over 30 days and they couldn't make a refund. And they were sorry about the miss communication

Poor quality
April 17, 2023

Went through at least three tries to get my lenses made correctly but I'm now living with lenses that aren't correct. The doctor is no longer there and I don't know why, but if he left stuff off people's prescriptions or didn't prescribe correctly I can see why as I'm living with lenses that are not correct until I find another doctor.

Poor customer service
April 14, 2023

Made appts for husband and myself. Dr was 15 min late and rushed. I told him I had prisms and he said "oh" then checked for that. I said I was having trouble with up close reading and he said my prism changed a bit. Fastest eye exam I ever had. When I went to get them, no prism in them. I was told Dr would be in to fix them in two days. I asked to be called, no call. I wanted to be sure the right script was put in them. When I called the receptionist was very snarky and rude. Would not listen to my needs. Now I have to go back again to get eyes rechecked because Dr messed up. I pay for what I need and it's upsetting when it isn't correct from a specialist and then get treated badly by other employees.

I purchased these frames and walked out the door happy until I put them on at home. Then noticed they were warped!

Some staff was rude just because we are Hispanic, it is unprofessional and unethical to look down on people just because of their ethnicity or race. Bad experience

Went to LensCrafters but left after our exams due to the fact that we were being pressured into purchasing high dollar frames and lenses. Drove over to America's Best and immediately spoken too and offers of help with information on what type of frames that would be suitable for our faces. Received a call a week after we picked up our glasses to let us know that they are always available if we need repairs or adjustments. We will not go anywhere else for our eye care.

I made a special 20 mile trip to town to have my glasses tightened. Despite two employees in the store, no one could assist me as there was no optomitrist on site, optomitrist works part-time. Nothing on website clearly indicating no optomitrist fulltime. I called complaint line and all I got was "sorry." I paid for service in the price of my glasses; cheap glasses, cheaper service.
