The Stanton Optical experience at Staples locations offers full-service eye care, including same-day eye exams provided by independent eye doctors, and prescription eyewear supported by on-site optical labs capable of producing single-vision glasses in as little as 30 minutes. In addition, Stanton Optical offers Stanton Access, an exclusive vision savings plan, to local small business owners to provide affordable vision benefits to their employees.
Each location features a curated selection of best-selling frames and popular contact lens brands, with the flexibility to expand services based on customer demand, including advanced eye treatment and diagnostic technologies such as Optical Coherence Tomography imaging.
“Staples is excited to add Stanton Optical to the services we offer in our stores, giving customers a fast, convenient and affordable way to access trusted eye care,” said Warkentin. “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering reliable services and expert solutions that support the everyday needs of the people we serve, and we look forward to welcoming the Philadelphia community to experience it firsthand.”
