I walked in and was greeted by very courteous staff. They assigned someone to help me with my glasses order. I was able to take my time, and choose the right frame for me. The attendant was very nice and knowledgeable, and even helped me figure out my insurance. When I found out it wouldn't all be covered, she asked me if I still wanted to proceed. No sales pressure whatsoever. It took a total of 9 days to receive my glasses. Would definitely recommend this place.

So I went to this optometry department since I have kaiser insurance . Since they did drama as well as eye exams I opted to buy glasses after my exam. Was helped by a young lady who was very friendly and straight forward about the cost . Since it was pat day I decided why not and purchased the exact set I wanted which seemed pricy at the time . Was told it would be 7-10 days for the glasses to be made . Now I have purchased glasses from many places before and it has always been my experience to have a 1-2 day maximum wait . It took 19 days to receive my glasses and every time I followed up with them to find out the delivery date I was told the knew they were back logged and wouldn't receive them for 2 weeks instead of the original 7-10 days claim . Now I know they are just the people who place orders and are dependent on another facility to manufacture the lenses and such . However if I had known it would take almost 3 weeks for glasses I could have purchased anywhere else for $150 less I would have went somewhere else . I need my glasses for work and due to this oversite I will not be purchasing glasses from any Kaiser or vision essentials facility in the foreseeable future .

It is going on one month since I ordered my lenses and they are not ready yet. VERY slow. I suggest that they get a new vendor to cut and install lenses on frames.
