Only One and a half months to get new lenses for my sunglasses and reading glasses....and only $1000.... And only 5 or 6 trips back and forth to the store only to find that "the lab messed up your prescription again"....and only being treated like dirt by smarmy assistants (Angelo) who belong in Gibsonton at the carnie shop.....and only waiting for the doctor for 20-30 minutes each time despite having an appointment....and only having the doctor tell me that I messed up the eye exam. If all of these "onlys" mean nothing to y... read more

IT IS ALL TRUE - STAY AWAY – What can I say that has not already been said? Well, it is all true. " Don't Even Bother, Terrible Customer Service, Misleading, Disrespectful, Rude, Questionable Services ". Big mistake when I chose to let Dr. Well ( owner ) give me an exam. The script that wrote for me was not accurate at all. I was able to see better with NO glasses. When talking to his staff I was scheduled for another appointment. I received a voice mail reminder the day before where I was told to call if I could not keep it... read more

Don't Even Bother – One star only because you can't give a zero! This store has the rudest employees and could care less about customer service. I went in for a routine glasses and contact fitting and during the exam was pushed pretty heavily to do a more "thorough" exam even though I said no more than once. After the doctor told me that the contacts I had been wearing for years were inferior and that I should try a new kind. However he never mentioned I should take them home for a few days to make sure they worked for me...... read more

Terrible Customer Service – I have visited this store on several occasions because I am too lazy to look for another optical shop. I have tolerated lack of staffing and how long it takes to get a pair of glasses due to the sheer amount of folks that walk in from the mall. I called recently to make an appointment and they were rude to me on the phone. I was told if I didn't like their procedures, that I could go to another shop. I took the young mans advice, and now my family of four buys their yearly glasses elsewhere.

Misleading and Terrible Customer Service – I went to Absolutely Optical after I looked them up on the VSP website. I called to make an appt. to get contact and glasses script. When I explained to the employee what I wanted, I asked how much it would cost me and he said only my co-pay for the exam. After the exam, I noticed on the receipt that I was charged $76 for a "contact fitting", which entailed me telling Dr. Weil my correct curvature of the contact and he had me try on the pair he had available (more of a curve that I ... read more

Disrespectful place - horrible customer service – There should be a ZERO star to rate this place. (The International Mall store) It's not about the store, but their curstomer service. Friday 11/18/2011 around 5:00pm, there was just one person in the store (Angelo) who was behind a counter and on the phone with someone. My wife walked in and after 10 minutes I could see she standing and looking but no one arround, that'e when I walked in and found (Angelo) on the phone. He made a face and walked out and asked what he could do... read more

Great place – I appreciated the personal attention when it came to selecting my frames. I loved that I had the freedom of choosing the style I wanted and not what someone thought I should have. Super friendly staff!

The best – I found so many glasses and sunglasses to choose from I need to bring my friend Suzie. They have almost every designer. The staff was very nice to me. I can't understand what the couple sourpuss reviews are about. It was really busy on Saturday, so I would recommend going on a weekday if you like a lot of attention from the staff.
