Dr. Bartels and the Vision Care team are outstanding. I entrust my eyes (and as a designer and…read morewriter, they are among my most valuable assets) to this talented, committed team and have never regretted it.

The staff is very professional and knowledgable. You won't do better in Buffalo!

Went in October for an Appointment. My husband was charged a random $55 for a contact exam which…read moreinsurance said was odd and should have been told to us prior to visit. Got my husbands contacts in December and the entire prescription was wrong. They told us they were going to call insurance and blamed them. We called insurance, they never called, and they ordered the wrong prescription. They refuse to got thru the insurance to resolve this, when all they need to do is fill out a form that was faxed to them. My glasses are definitely wrong as well, but I will go elsewhere to get them fixed. When we stopped in to try to get this resolved all they did was yell at us and tell our insurance company off, whom we had on the phone. Here it is mid January and still no proper contact. Feel free to go if you want mistakes and hostility.

They called me the day before to remind me of my appointment. Dr. Czora was very nice and was patient and walked you through the whole process. He made sure you knew what he was doing and why as he went through the eye exam. They have many glasses onsite to chose from if you need glasses. I will recommend them to others because of how efficient, friendly and professional everyone was.

He offered free lens clothes, are you serious? By the time I get the lenses for the 3rd time it will be 6 weeks. No I don't want free lens clothes refund some of my money

His son Ian conducts the eye examinations with all the latest technology available, ensuring the right fit and prescription you will receive.

I'm not absolutely certain how I started going there, perhaps convenience, but when I started to need help with reading there is where I went. After so many years the service has never once wavered. If I was dealing with Dave and learning about contact lenses, he was patient and helped me every step of the way until I found the ones that worked best for me. Dan is the consummate professional, and never forgets names, faces or to ask how the rest of the family are doing. Dawn is my personal fashion and design assistant. She knows what works for me and what my style esthetic is. But she also will pull things that are out of the box that I will love but may not have noticed on my own. And what's so important is that she knows what I don't like on my face, anything that's too small. She's honest enough to tell me when I try a frame that I like but it's not the right size for my face, rather than letting me buy something that reflects badly on me and then on the business as well, she will tell me "that's to small of a frame" and I am very grateful regardless of how much I may like the frame. Are the glasses more expensive than other glasses? Perhaps. But you aren't just buying a name for a names sake.You are truly buying the very best companies of their kind in the world. Names that are known by people who truly know quality as opposed to a label. And to be perfectly honest on the occasion when I have gone and bought glasses at a chain( because I was using my insurance at that time, buy the time everything was added up, there wasn't much of a difference really in cost. But a huge difference in quality and uniqueness and service. So here's another chance to get two birds with one stone. Support a local business and get excellent service and one of a kind glasses so you won't see your glasses on other people all over town. Try going to Visualeyes, make an appointment and relax and see how special you can look.

I had to go to Buffalo Eye Care to see an Ophthalmologist…read more When I called to try to make an appointment asap, they were able to accommodate me even though they said the Doctor was booked solid. I spoke with a receptionist at 11:30 am & had to be there by 1:00pm . I got there a little early . They have a nice big parking lot, so that was a plus. Inside is very spacious. They have two doors, one to go into the ophthalmology department, and one to go into the eye care store, where you buy your glasses. They have really cool lighting inside, and the whole office plus store just looks really nice. There were three receptionist working, which was very handy because someone else was there before me being taken care of already, so I got to get taken care of right away as well. I got called into the back in just a few minutes, took an eye test told the nurse or technician the problems that I was having with my eye, and thankfully, it's nothing she hasn't heard before. That was a big relief. Then I had to go see the ophthalmologist. It was a short wait. He was very nice, very talkative, explained everything I needed to know. Give me an eye exam, a real exam with the lights in the eyes and the machine and all that stuff. And was able to diagnose what was wrong with my eye. He told me what was going to happen eventually, what was happening now, and what I would have to do in the near future. Explain things very well and in easy terms, that anybody can understand, thank God. Lol. Everybody was so nice there. I had to deal with two receptionists, one nurse/technician and the ophthalmologist, and they were all so friendly and so nice. The whole place inside is very clean and decorated nicely. They seem to have a large variety of glasses, way more than a place that I go to now has. I have to go back in a month, and I do not regret having to go back because it was a good experience. I would definitely refer anybody I know to come here for your Eye Care needs.

They don't have automatic doors or a handicap button which makes getting a wheelchair in and out of two sets of double doors, extremely difficult, and no one has ever offered to help but will just sit and watch us struggle. Dr. Gulati says all the right stuff like hello and have a nice day but his delivery and flat and unbothered. The place inside is clean and quiet. Hoping I can leave a better review at his annual visit next year.
