This new addition at 2300 Columbus St. Bakersfield, CA 93306 strengthens Stanton Optical's commitment to delivering on its mission of Making Eye Care Easy across 300+ locations nationwide.  

Convenient Eye Care for Less   
“We're excited to expand our presence in Bakersfield, the birthplace of the 'Bakersfield Sound,' by opening our third Stanton Optical store in this market. Since 2006, our mission has been to simplify the process of getting prescription eyewear through accessibility and affordability. Our direct-to-consumer approach and exclusive brand collections enable us to fit every budget and lifestyle need." stated Daniel Stanton, founder and CEO of Stanton Optical.

You can book your visit or walk in for a same-day comprehensive eye exam; plus, thanks to our on-site labs, you can get single-vision glasses made the same day in as fast as 30 minutes. Offering convenient over-the-counter dry eye and conventional eye care solutions, Stanton Optical is also easy on your budget, accepting vision insurance, FSA/HSA, and VSP out-of-network and offers special pricing for EyeMed, Medicaid, and Military families. 

Our Spokes-bird 
In 2021, Stanton Optical introduced Stan the Penguin as its spokes-bird, highlighting its commitment to adaptability and community within the dynamic eye care industry. Penguins, known for their 'cool’ appearance and strong family bonds, mirror Stanton Optical's dedication to providing exceptional eye care and building lasting customer relationships. The penguin, in essence, is also one of the most streamlined animals in the world, just like Stanton Optical works to make the process of getting prescription eyewear quick and easy by offering same-day eye exams and single-vision glasses as fast as 30 minutes.
