America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses

I came in promptly at 9:30 for my appt thinking I would be in and out of there but they took longer than expected. I was unable to pick out glasses before I had to leave for work. Nonetheless I will be back for them! Everyone was nice, office was clean, my only complaint is that I felt the doctor was very fast in her assessment which actually worked in my favor… also they asked me if I had brought my glasses, which I hadn’t. Heads up, take them just in case.

Arrived 5 mins late and almost wasn’t seen. Luckily doc hadn’t left and were seen rather quickly. The initial exam was thorough yet quick, young lady was very informative and explained everything she was doing. Off to the doc, very nice young man, honest and comforting. Prices are not cheap nor that expensive. Would recommend.

Today was my first time here. I have eye insurance through my job & always go wherever is close and that takes eyemed… Today for whatever reason, pearlvision was not taking my insurance and I desperately needed a new script for contacts so I always hear of this place through advertisements in the mail. I decided to go & I am glad I did. When you walk in, it’s a typical eye glasses store, with a doctors office towards the back. The ladies at the front greeted me, took info & I waited in the waiting area. There was at least 3 people ahead of me and they checked typical things that eye exam people do. Lastly, there were 2 Drs seeing patients and I got to see the gentleman who was wonderful, fast and straight to the point. I was out of there within 45 mins. Best of all, they did take eyemed, & I only paid $ 17.99/ for eye exam and 6 months worth of contacts… I’ve never paid that much… Seriously, I am never going anywhere else!

I really have to update my review, at my first time they make me wait more than usual, because everybody had to go to lunch, even if it says that is from 9 to 5, but the Dr was really nice. But at the second time here, I have to confirm that the service is awful… you have to beg for the prescription, they made a mistake and again, beg so they fix it… not satisfy at all!

I made an appointment online and received a confirmation call the day prior. I arrived at my appointment time and was greeted immediately. Only a short form is needed to complete then I was taken for a pre exam. This was quick and efficient; and everything was explained.
Just a few minutes to wait then the eye doctor was available. Again, friendly and professional service. He reviewed the form and asked if I had any questions or problems. The exam was efficient and he explained what the results meant.
I had a very slight correction and was given the option to purchase using their 2 4 $ 69 entry eye glass option. The opticians were very professional with NO pressure to purchase more expensive frames or lenses. The checkout was very quick.
I don’t use glasses or contacts or have eye problems, but I found them to be punctual, efficient, clean, professional and friendly. This is a place that doesn’t push for costly or extras added on your bill.

Today I came in to buy frames as mine have been lost. I made an appointment for 11:20 am, I arrived 10 minutes behind with prior notice. My only real concern was that it took 50 minutes in the waiting room to get a 5 minute eye exam. That to me is unacceptable. Now I do not want to say the service was bad because the actual service from the optometrist as well as John who helped me pick some frames was very good. But time management needs to be corrected. This to me of course Falls more on the shoulders of corporate. Maybe by adding an additional optometrist Or better yet maybe paying to have one of your dedicated employees get licensed and certified as an optometrist. Nevertheless americasbest got me again and I spent another $ 150 on a pair of glasses. I was happy to see Paola still working for americasbest, please make sure to take care of her she is a delight and makes my visit to you all more pleasant despite all the nuances I face. Until next time fellow Unilocalers

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been to foureyes, vision works, and pearl vision and none compare to the prices and quality service you get here. They have amazing deals in glasses. I got 2 pairs of glasses 2 months ago, my dog ate one of them, luckily I bought the protection plan and they are giving me a free pair of the same ones. This place is great !!
They fixed my glasses check out the before and after.

Made an appointment online, super easy.
Everyone was really nice the doctor was really nice, he explained to me everything, patient and asked me if I had any questions. The workers there are really helpful (: I got my glasses and I like them. The only bad thing is that the contacts are a little expensive. $ 200 for 6 pairs. I get mines at bjs for $ 80 for 6 pairs. Too much $$.
But the place is clean, organized. I also joined the 5 year plan for only $ 140. 5 check ups once a year, not bad at all. I definitely recommend this place, just don’t order contacts there. Go to BJ’s better.

Came for my annual check up since I am a member of the eye care club (3year-​$ 99) it was at no charge (which does save a lot of money) ! I made the appointment last minute and they had no problems with that. The wait was maybe 10mins.
The doctor was amazing, he was very friendly and informative. I asked a lot of questions because my eyes felt very strained and he answered every question and actually fixed my prescription. Thank you doctor !!
The two reasons why I rated a 5 star was first the doctor and next the manager if I recall her name was Claudia? , she was amazing !!! so I had a slight problem that managers usually hate but she helped me no problem with such a great attitude ! I think her attitude towards helping me was outstanding and I am very thankful she handle my problem with such quality !
Aside from that I didn’t really like any frames the choices were limited for me so I went to lens crafter to purchase the frame and brought it to Americans best to have the lenses places in. The price for the lenses was great i even manage to get the verithin with anti glare !
I will update more with how the lenses are and the glasses
But overall thank you to the doctor and the amazing general manager and Paola who was very kind in helping me every step !!! Great eye glass store and very affordable for everyone !

As you might have read my initial experience a Americas Best glasses was ok. The problem I encountered was when I went to pick up my glasses as I knew that they were not the correct measures on top of that their willingness to understand my issue at that moment was not professional. However, after Unilocaling m experience I was contacted by their representative who seemed genuinely concerned with my unsatisfactory experience and had contacted the store manager regarding my problem. A few days later I received a call from Claudia the store manager who was eager for me to go back in and fix the issue.
I finally got the chance to go today and the manager took very good care of me, she confirmed that my glasses were off somewhat and is correcting the issue.
I was very happy with my visit of today!
Have to give them kudos first for reading re comments of helpers and then taking actions to correct the problems that might arise.
Thank you!

I’m giving this place only 3 starts because it’s service is all but mediocre.
I’ve been waiting for my trial pair for 2 months. They never ordered them to begin with, then they gave me a pair in the meanwhile and promised to call when the real trial pair came in.
Surprise surprise they never called.
If your looking for an affordable place be prepared to deal with mediocre service and long wait time for scheduled eye exams.
It’s usually an all day thing.
Enjoy.

We took our daughter’s glasses for a warranty issue. The manager Claudia was very friendly and professional. She took her time fixing both pairs. She even looked up our daughter’s account to order a free pair of glasses for her. It is worth paying for the insurance. We were very pleased with the manager and her treatment. :)

I had a follow up appointment to see how I felt about the contacts they recommended. As well as pick up my glasses which I ordered during my initial visit. My appointment was at 5:45pm. I arrived at 5:30pm and it seemed like they were backed up. Which I understand can happen from time to time. However, I was once again caught off guard some of the staff. I checked in and was asked to sit in the waiting area. After twenty minutes, I became curious to find out how many people were roughly in front of me. I approached a staff member who seemed to be working in the area where the glass fitting occurs and asked him. I observed him walk up to the boxes in front of the optometrist’s doors. Only to be surprised that my info. hadn’t left the check in desk. I played the waiting game and was seen. Thank God Neyade, the assistant manager, was in. I explained my disappointment and she was very reassuring by stating this was not normal practice. She treated me perfectly. She made the wait worthwhile. She did everything I expected to occur after I saw the optometrist. Although the store has things it could work on, I would consider returning in the future. Simply because of how Neyade has treated me!

Ok, so it took me a year to follow up. I did pick up my glasses and the usual friendly staff took care of me right away. Glasses were great, one was kept as a back up and i think i’ve worn them twice, the other pair i just LOVE. They get daily use and they have stood the test of one very clumsy and destructive owner and they still look great.
Recently moved to Pembroke Pines so I will not be back to the store in Kendall but I’m sure I will get the same professional and courteous service.
I will be a patient for a very long time.

I love America’s Best CONTACTS&EYEGLASSES they have great selections of contacts and eyeglasses and it’s less expensive

Went in without appointment, service was very fast. The reason I went to this place was to get replacement glasses for my son and it advertise for $ 69.99 a pair. My bill came out about $ 105 saying that the cheapest I could get them since the prescription on my son is high… Which is something I don’t understand since at the beginning they told me that they don’t charge for the lenses and the cost is only for the flame.
Anyways I ended up getting them… I would give them a ⁵⁄₅ if it wasn’t for what I paid.

Upon entering the building it strikes me as you standard prescription glasses store, very similar to a Lenscrafters. We made our appointment online no problem, upon arrival we checked in and the proceeded to select 2 pairs of glasses. The frames selection was impressive considering that they sell glasses 2 for 69.99 which includes a free eye exam! You wont find the best designer frames but you will find nice glasses here (beauty is subject to one’s opinion). The doctor looked young but she was very nice and seemed very professional. This place has by far the best deal for eye exam and glasses i’ve ever seen.

The eye doctor was great. She is young and very professional. The downside about this place is the frames… they all look the same. They don’t have a lot of designer glasses that look good. Since I really liked the eye doctor, I got the prescription from her and ordered the glasses elsewhere. The place is nice and neat looking and the DR. is good so I would say ³⁄₅ is fair. :)
