Walmart National Vision Center

Dr. Scott Swanson has been my optometrist over 15 years. I trust him with my vision care. He is friendly, professional, and caring. I would recommend him to anyone. Although his office is no longer close to my residence or job, I am willing to drive an hour to have him care for my eyes. That’s much I like my optometrist and trust his care of my eyesight.

I’d seen the same eye doctor for years — literally, 23 years — before I moved down to Orange County, which meant for the sake of convenience, I wanted to find a doctor locally. I’d actually put it off for a while until I noticed that things were starting to get blurry in my day-​to-​day work.
Having never needed glasses before, I went into this Walmart Vision Center with the hopes of being told I was just straining my eyes too much, or they were dry. A quick fix. I went through the whole eye exam and at the end was told that I would need a prescription, likely as a result of using the computer all day for work. All in all, the exam, lenses, and frames cost me about $ 200.
A couple months later, I noticed my vision was getting blurry again. Confused and worried that my eyes were degenerating, I returned to the center and the doctor gave me a stronger prescription — blessedly gratis. It seemed to help for a little while.
Now, about a half year after my initial appointment there, my vision was getting blurry again. I put off going to see a doctor for weeks in the hopes that it was a fluke. Would I need to up my prescription again? How was it possible my eyes were getting so bad, so quickly?
I relented and drove the hour and a half to see my old doctor. Good thing, too. Apparently the prescription Walmart’s vision center gave me was not only incorrect, it was — legitimately — the exact opposite of what I needed. They gave me a prescription for driving, essentially, when what I needed was glasses for reading on the computer.
I wouldn’t be so furious about this situation if it didn’t mean that I had damaged my eyes in the interim by using these wrongly-​prescribed glasses. Not only is my vision is worse than it was before, it is now irreparably worse for having used the wrong glasses for a while.
Don’t come here for exams and prescriptions. Only get your lenses or frames here on the cheap — if you must.

Came in with a bent pair of glasses and Oralia was extremely professional and helpful in getting them corrected! For freeeeeee

Great overall experience! New client went in as a walk-​in on Sunday, walk out 30 min later with new contacts and placed an order for new glasses as well! Super friendly staff from beginning to end! I think I found my new go to optometry center!

My daughter got a pair of glasses here friendly and fast location is ok not so much parking space is limited there on a Main Street.

I’ve come here for the last few years. They are usually great but they lost cool points when the rep clowned my prescription and then said I should expect a longer processing time. I did receive my specs in half the time. The frames I chose were great. I’d like to see more variety.

This is the only office that has my high prescription as a trial pair. I have astigmatism and have to get a Toric lens and it’s very hard to leave an office with a pair, but that is never the case here. An exam is also $ 10 cheaper than Costco which is a plus!
Dr. Tran and the staff are always very friendly and very thorough. I always get tested after to see if my lens fit, and when there was a problem she gave me an extra pair. I always get extra bottles of solution and coupons when I leave. I will order my lenses from here from now on because of the awesome customer service!

I can see clearly now…
A shining light in the dark dark Walmart.
About the only thing I like about Walmart is there vision center. Probably because it’s only located in Walmart but is NOT actually part of Walmart.
I normally wear contacts ²⁴⁄₇ and have no back up glasses. I know bad bad Ryan!
Anyway I decided to get a pair of glasses but of course I’m blind as a proverbial bat so I knew even though I had insurance it wasn’t going to cover all the extras is need so I didn’t end up looking like my glasses were made from a six-​pack of coke bottles.
I looked everywhere. Both where my insurance was excepted and where it wasn’t. Many places had deals that were unbelievable but after the numbers we’re crunched the vision center at this Walmart was still by far the cheapest by half even with all the add ins to make the lenses thiner, lighter, no glare, etc.
I was very happy NOT to have to cut off one of my arms and a leg to see. Why insurance doesn’t just allow people to get both is beyond me. They know your eyeballs need a rest from the plastic of contacts. And it keeps the eyes healthy. LOSERS!
And yes I have thought and looked into laser for the eyeballs. And I’m sure it’s great but I’d rather spend that money and travel internationally every year. I know, I know my priorities are in the wrong place. But its not like I asked you to pay for it and still went on vacation. So stop hounding me.
LOLOLOLOLOL!

Wal-​Mart Vision Center has been my go-​to place for glasses for many years.
Started using their service when I needed a pair of «reading» glasses. When I could have just bought over the counter corrective glasses for $ 10 I turned to the Vision Center to deck me out in the latest fashion eye wear while keeping the price low. Vision insurance helped immeasurably.
With the expansion and renovation currently going on at the Cerritos store, the Vision Center has doubled in size. Now two optometrists man the center, with lots of helpful, friendly assistants who work in the back office (running preliminary eye exams and stocking medical supplies), and the outer office where customers select frames and have their final fitting.
I’ve been to more exclusive optometry offices with family and friends and I believe Wal-mart’s Vision Center gives great value and service. Last I checked the basic frames run about $ 39+lenses. An eye exam is about $ 50. Unless anything changes, a prescription is good for 2 years.
Last time I picked up my glasses the assistant reminded me to have my nose guards changed every 6 months. Went back when my frame came loose. They repaired it while I waited.
As a long-​time customer I’ve yet to be disappointed in their service.

I’ve been going to walmart vision center for years. But I never really appreciated them until now.
I’d go in for my annual exam just to renew my contact exam.
This is the first time I realized that the exam comes w 3 months of free follow up appts. Or, maybe it’s a new thing, idk…
So, I got a free trial pair of contacts while I decided which ones I’d order.
After wearing the «trial» pair a few weeks I noticed that my eyes were itchy and irritated. I chalked it up to allergies and left it alone. Another week, and I was ordering contacts, when I thought maybe I’d take advantage of the free follow up visit. I saw Dr. Scott and he kinda blew me off… just told me that I should try a different contact solution and gave me a sample box.
The next day the pain was just too unbearable so I went back again. This time I saw Dr. Winn. He was awesome! He took the time to actually examine my eyes. Turned out that my allergies had escalated to the point where I had hives on the inside of my eyelids!!! ewwwww… well, at least now I knew why my eyes felt like they were being cut by knives.
So, I was prescribed eye drops for a week. I came in for a follow up appt and this time I saw Dr. Lillian Mayberry. I really liked her as well! I’ve been wearing contacts 20 years and she gave me tips and info that I’ve never heard before. She also suggested that I try a hydrogen peroxide cleaning system vs the regular contact solution. Maybe that will help me with my allergies and irritation of my eyes.
I’m thankful that these 2 other Drs are in this office and I will definitely schedule my appointments with them in the future. Dr. Swanson is ok, but maybe he’s been doing it too long and that’s why he doesn’t care anymore.

as the «SALES» associate is «helping» me out. she tells me, I get 1 year protection at walmart. I was like wow. thats great. turns out I paid 20.00 for that extra protection. she slid it on my bill. if i knew i would have to pay for it, i would have not got it. she presented it as if it came with my package. watch your bill go from 35.00 to 180.00 in a matter of seconds.

This is far THE BEST place to get glasses. I got my eye exam and it was fast and through. Everyone was polite and helpful!!!

Ok, so out of the 20 places I’ve probably walked in and ordered contacts…
(yes, I have moved around that much)
THIS vision center gives me a «trial» pair when placing my order… takes a bit over a week to come in, AND then has me open the boxes when I get it and give them the «trial» pair back.
if anything, should I not give you the pair you gave me then?
really?
I’ll stick to online ordering

Everytime I’ve bought glasses from here, they’ve broke within a year.
