I showed up to my apt on time yet America's Best helped 3 people that came in after me first, then I wait 45 minutes before I got seen for the pre exam. Apparently I had a Tele doc apt not that I had a choice but after waiting an additional 30 minutes they tell me they are having tech issues and tell me they need to reschedule me. I live 1 hr away and the on site eye doc refused to finish my exam, this is completely unacceptable to me but they are just rude and basically tell me too bad. I had to get my eye exam from lenscrafters instead. And when I called corporate they basically told me to f***off and won't give me the number or name of their supervisors. I buy 2-3 pair of glassed a year and spend $500-800. HORRIBLY RUN COMPANY FILLED WITH INCOMPETENT IDIOTS WITH NO ACTUAL CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. LENSCRAFTERS AT LEAST GIVES GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE
So I told her my Medical back ground. So I ask her to clean hers. Any way recovering from cancer snd dealing with CHF she had me to go in back to look up my insurance. I was unable to sit in low chair due to my hip replacement. Not even 10 mins went buy and she ask me to reschedule. I could have with other places but my regular one was booked. Now I do not mind waiting. Thank God I did not bring my wheel chair. The staff need training in ADA and Cultural.
When ordering glasses... sure you can get two pair of frames for 69.99 but that doesnt include the lenses, scratch resistant (or not) tint, bi focal, etc... the options that add to the price add up quickly. The upselling America's Best do is absolutely rediculous especially when you would assume you are purchasing a pair of glasses that actually have the lenses in them.
My appointment was on March 30,2021. They said it was going to take 3 weeks for them to come in and if they hadn't called by then... I should call them. Well, of course after 1 month they had not called so I just went in to get my glassess. Three pair. I put my sun glasses on and there was something deffinately wrong with them, it was making my vision blurry. They told me to take them because I probably just had to get use to them. That was not the case. I finally fiqured out that there was a flaw in the right lense that made it seem like I was standing in front of a funny house mirror. So, they asked me to bring them back in.
Another month later, I went back in because I hadn't heard from them and asked or my sunglasses. They could not find them anywhere. They finally went and spoke to the manager and came back out with my glasses and said that they could't find them because they were in her managers drawer. She explained that they were there because the were BeBe brand sun glasses and the manager had to hand cary them over to get fixed. (Where? Are you kidding me!) They handed them back to me and asked me if they were ok this time. I was in a hurry this time but told them it appeared that they still had a problem so they decided the best thing for me to do was make another appointment with the Dr. to make sure my prescription was right. So they scheduled one 3 weeks out because I was leaving town. (Without my new sunglasses)
As I was leaving, I realized that the only thing they had done was put them in the Managers desk for over 1 month and forgot to do anything with them. In order for it to not look like the had failed at their job miserably, they were going to waste my time and make me come back in for another appointment regardless that the other two pairs of glasses I purchased were just fine! I called them back and told them to cancel my appointment and re order my lenses correctly because they knew as well as I did that they didn't attempt to correct the problem in the first place.
July 2,2021. I go in not knowing whether they had actually received my lenses yet because nobody bothers to call you when they come in.
AMERICA'S BEST has become AMERICA'S WORST! When you add up ALL the costs of your new glasses... they are not as cheap as they continue to advertise. I'm also seeing that people are saying it takes about a week to get your glasses back. Absoulutely not true! It took over 3 weeks every single time they ordered them. It took 3 months and 3 days to get my entire order back and correct.
And NEVER an appology... just fabricated excuses! The Manager at the Midvale store should be fired... after all, her drawer is were my glasses sat until I came looking for them.
The customer service is pathetic, I was given the run around, America's Best are a polite RUDE
West side location did not give me trials, I finally got them, and the power was wrong
7th street did not give me my contact lens prescription. Nor my trials, each time I call them, Ashley is always gone, Cynthia among the others give me the run around, such as, your trials will be ready tomorrow, then two weeks, and now they are telling me one month,
I informed them I want my prescription, and they are reluctant in giving me my prescription
THEY ARE NOT "AMERICA'S BEST"
THEY ARE AMERICA'S WORST
America's Worst After Sales Customer Service at the so called America's Best! Their name changes quick and as you can see they care less!
FYI, I did not even have to go back to my Optometrist and the unnecessary tension and runaround they were giving me was uncalled for/inconsiderate/thoughtless... Just found out that All my new prescription glasses needed was an adjustment to the arms tilted in it's right position and that fixed the problem immediately! Surely, all this could have been checked out on the day but they chose to put me in a stressful/tense situation instead. My experience and feedback about America's Best could have been a lot different. Lesson learnt and never going back to them!

I wish I had read the reviews prior to checking out their glasses! The selected pair ( ONE PAIR) were going to cost me well over 700.00
The 69.00 frames are disappointing & America's Best don't have a large variety in sz 49 -
I tried numerous pairs of glasses - some ok - some ridiculously hideous!
The selected costly ones were a designer label - hence the 700 +
Not to mention the fact - I was completely invisible in my search for glasses - people coming in AFTER ME - were greeted & the staff did appear to be very helpful towards THEM!
I also had an eye/ contact exam - which was supposed to be 99.00 with their " perks program " I'm still not sure WHY I paid 114.00?
I must admit - Once I did finally get the help I desperately needed - the young lady was pleasant & appeared to be TRYING her best to accommodate me. Yet - out of 25 try ons ( at least)! They kept bringing me back to the "designer! Personally I did NOT see them to be worth that price - from that store!
I've also read now - it takes a ridiculously long time to get your ordered glasses - I need mine ASAP
With all of that being said - I will continue my frustrating journey to locate glasses
I want to be thrilled w my choice if I'm having to spend that kind of money on ONE PAIR! Nor can I wait weeks for them to be ready - I need them ASAP!
This may be a great place for MEN to shop - as for us ladies - I am thinking there are much better alternatives. I truly hope to locate that place.
If not for being completely ignored - ppl entering AFTER me - getting approached first - I would likely have given service a much higher rating
I made my appointment for glasses n contact exam and. When I went in I was asked if I was doing the $69.99 deal I said yes. No mention of additional charges. After my exam I was told I could not get the deal because I got the contact fitting exam. My exam only was now $89 with no glasses. If I wanted glasses they would be $59.99 for cheapest ones each. So my $69.99 deal I came in on would now be $208.98! I even offered to pay the difference of contact exam and was told I still couldn't get 2 for 1 deal on glasses. Complete rip off!
When the glasses came in I tried them on and immediately said they were wrong. I was told that I needed to get used to them. When I asked if there was a different Optometrist who could check I was told I needed to wait and see if my eyes adjusted to them.
I tried them for a week. It was terrible and I started developing headaches. I called them and was basically told I was wrong. It was obvious they weren't going to do anything about it. Even my invoice and the prescription were inaccessible to me online and they weren't giving it to me.
Sometime in late September/early October I emailed corporate and got a useless reply saying the regional manager would check into it. Never did they offer to make it right. I gave up. I set the useless glasses aside, started using my scratched ones (which aren't perfect but I can still read a pill bottle with them) and waited for my Florida trip in Oct/Nov 2017.
I went to the Port St. Lucie America's Best on Oct 30th. Had a new eye exam and low and behold there was only a slight difference in my eyes. The three employees there who looked at the useless prescription including the Optometrist just shook their heads. I will be contacting the Indiana Attorney General when I get home and the BBB to request a full refund.
