Maximum kudos to this place, and to Shannon in particular. I just wandered in here while window shopping to ask questions after having gone in the LensCrafters store to ask the same questions. I decided I liked what I heard in here and I was especially impressed with Shannon so I made an appointment to come back the next afternoon for my exam. They had told me I might be able to get my new glasses within an hour possibly if they have my prescription in stock,or the next day, which amazed me. I've always had to wait 2 weeks for new glasses and I won't be here in AZ in two weeks. I wanted a current RX when I went in to renew my drivers license when I return to San Diego. \n\nMy appointment the next afternoon went smoothly. The doctor was sort of a slightly gruffer version of Mr Rogers. I felt he was very thorough and examined my eyes for \"floaters\" and other maladies of maturing eyes. I was not surprised when he said I had a lot of them. I asked a lot of questions I had been formulating since my last exam and he answered them thoroughly. The assistant did the glaucoma exam and an area vision exam. All was fine with those. I ordered two pairs, one for distance only and one bifocals. I found two frames I really liked. They said the glasses would probably be ready the next day. \n\nThe next day I received a call that they would only be able to have one of the two pairs I ordered, the distance pair. I was happy at least I would have those you wear on drive home. But by the time I got there after 6pm they had both pairs ready! Happy me! \n\nI have to say, they went out of their way to have the correct lenses sent over from the Chandler location so I could pick up both at once. You can't ask for better service than that. Both were adjusted, and I received new cases to carry them in and I walked out with better vision than I've had in years. I didn't like my previous pair of bifocals but I am extremely happy with these. Shannon really listened to my concerns about being able to do my crafting without getting a sore neck looking through the lower part. And I can see so well through the distance lenses I don't feel the need to change glasses to read a paper. \n\nMaybe I'll just time my next appointment in a couple of years to coincide with a trip to AZ! \n\nOh, and pricewise, the exam was $71 including the $12 area vision test. The two pairs of glasses total were about $250,less than LensCrafters quoted me for one pair. I did upgrade to the poly-carbonate lenses on both pairs, transitional on one pair so they turn dark when I go outside (which I love!), and the price includes frames that were about $75 each. One frame was even those twistable, unbreakable ones that usually sell for $200-300 but was on sale.
