I have been going there for years, I went last week to get 2 pairs for my son, the tag on the glasses said 79.95 but I got charged 127 for the 2 pairs so they told me the tag is not if it goes by the color of the tag. Really? She overcharged me and didn't want to admit it or give me the extra money back. Never going there again they just lost 5 customer my whole family wears glasses.

Top Service
June 24, 2021

Excellent Service from the Crossland's Branch in Kissimmee. Maria (Store manager) and Hector did a great job, and I know the store is very busy. This was all done by email, WhatsApp and a few phones calls, they had my prescription and they sourced frames that had been discontinued. The prices are good compared to what I pay in Abu Dhabi. Excellent all round and good service, good value for money. The shipment was picked up yesterday and I will have them in a week.

Poor Quality
January 7, 2023

First, I would like to say the employees who have helped me have been very nice and helpful but, the products they offer at America's Best are garbage. I also need to mention that the events I am describing below occurred within a 4-month period. I purchased two glasses, one of which was sunglasses. I selected the "Nike Adrenaline" frames. These frames kept breaking in the exact same place without any type of impact. After the third set of broken frames, they told me the frames had been discontinued. I was then told that if I wanted to get my glasses replaced, I would need to pay for new frames and lenses because the lenses from the Nike frames would obviously not fit a different set of frames. I have owned several glasses in my life and the only time I have ever broken a set of frames was once when I was skiing. My recommendation for anyone looking to purchase new glasses would be to stay away from America's Best.

Bad customer service
June 14, 2022

They call you and text you several time to make sure you are going to show up for your appointment. Then they make you come 15 min prior or they won't see you, but the doctor takes about an hour to actually see you and he doesn't not like to talk much and takes about 5 minutes to se you. Customer service is rude.

Very dissatisfied
June 19, 2023

I had b previously gave them the highest review possible. Then I picked up my glasses. Jordan Service waited on me. It was my understanding that the $400+ that I paid him for the two pairs of glasses I ordered covered. He only ordered me one pair and said he told me I could get a discount if I came back and ordered the second pair! BS. I'll NEVER refer anyone there!

Let me start, I arrived at the store in High Point NCand had to wait almost 2 hours before being seen. I think they only saw me because I got up and was leaving. I bought 2 pair of glasses for $530 not what was advertised. I was promised if I brought my sunglasses in they would put new lenses in, they changed their policy now they won't do them. I was promised 20 per cent off as well! Never will go there again. Broken promises and lousy waiting time. Don't go unless you have a day to waste! /Patty F

I babied mine and was insanely carfully when wiping and followed all their instructions, got blinding micro scratches everywhere within the first month of getting them. It's like a permanent smudge on your lens when light hits them. Arm broke off one side completely after 6 months. Super glued it, broke again. Now finding a new place for glasses

Purchased 5 pairs of glasses over past 7 years and always enjoyed good quality and friendly, helpful service. Had an excellent recent experience at the HarMar location in Roseville, Minnesota where manager Tracy repaired a current frame when I'd knocked the lens out. Also fixed an old frame to provide a suitable backup.

Went in Tuesday for my eye exam and they were extremely busy. The staff worked well under pressure and remained very professional and punctual. I even got further assistance from DeAzia because she along with another customer helped me pick out glasses and gave their honest opinion. Picking out a nice pair of glasses can be challenging but they made my experience less stressful. I am very appreciative and grateful for their help. Would continue to support this Company.

Talk about bait and switch. 2 pair of glasses and eye exam for $69.99. Really how is that. I just went in to get glasses. Picked from the 69.99 frames. But somehow my total is $274 with no hint or bi focales. No add ons at all. This is a bait and switch place. Be very careful because what they advertise you won't get.

Horrible fitting
September 18, 2021

Worst, fitting ever! The service wasn't professional. My eyeglasses is a complete 400.00 joke. Went several times for adjustments. Still having trouble with correcting. Surely the employees are not properly trained. Also, the wait time is ridiculous. I give a -0 rating

Rude, condescending, cold, unprofessional, absolute JOKE! The old saying "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"...So true for the Longview, TX location! Will warn anyone thinking of using them that they would get better quality and service from Dollar General...one star is actually too good of a rating for this company!

America's Worse Eye Clinic
September 13, 2022

It's now been more than a month since I had my glasses and still don't have my contacts at all. They never rescheduled me for a follow up after a cancelation due to reordering temporary lenses.

They are unresponsive and every time we go in there to set up an appointment its the same excuse "oh we have to order the contacts then we will call you for a follow up"

This has been an ongoing issue with them.

My glasses are wrong as well but can't get that resolved nor get a proper prescription if they won't call. So I've had to go back to using reader glasses from Walgreens.

This company should not be allowed to hold a license in any form to do business with reviews like this.

I should be given a full refund but that would probably take going to court.

I scheduled appointment, was sent a resubmit information. They lied and said they called twice and left messages. I asked them what # they called, correct number but someone lied and never called. So they came gave my appointment to someone else! Said I could waste my time and gas and rescheduled for 3:30. Very poorly ran! Over priced on Contact lenses too.

It's like buying a car. You're told you will get these quality glasses and insurance will pay for most of the cost. Glasses are poor quality needing constant adjustment. Lenses are poor quality that scratch easy. Then you get the bill later that insurance didn't cover the cost so you are on the hook. Do your research and avoid Americas Best.
