Moreover, if you lead an active lifestyle, contacts provide more freedom and flexibility to enjoy your favorite sports.

I have to give a huge shoutout to Kellee, who is a major reason I continue coming back to this locat... Show Moreion even though I now live in Frisco and it’s about a 45-minute drive for me.
About a year ago, I fell in love with a pair of sunglasses here but ultimately bought a different pair after my boyfriend convinced me they looked better on me. They were great, but I never stopped thinking about the other ones! When I came back recently, I learned they had just changed out their inventory, and I figured I had missed my chance. Kellee actually went back through their system, tracked down the exact sunglasses I remembered, and discovered that somehow they were one of the pairs that hadn’t been replaced and were STILL THERE. I was ridiculously excited.
That kind of attention and follow-through is exactly what I appreciate about Kellee. Having lived in New York City, I have a special appreciation for people who are straightforward, efficient, and just get things done, and Kellee absolutely does.
Most recently, there was an issue at the lab that delayed my regular glasses—they completed my sunglasses but not my eyeglasses. I had already been waiting a while and was understandably disappointed, but Kellee immediately explained what had happened, apologized, and genuinely empathized with my frustration. By the end of the conversation, I actually felt better about the situation, which says a lot about how good she is at customer service.
Kellee is phenomenal. She is attentive, efficient, straightforward, kind, and genuinely cares about taking care of her customers. There are plenty of eyeglass stores much closer to me, but she is why I will happily drive 45 minutes to keep coming back to this one.
