My husband goes here as well and they were very patient with teaching him how to use contact lenses. I like that it's smaller and patient-focused-not like the huge doc in a box places.

This isn't the type of place to shop if you're going to sweat $20.

Upchurch Optical is fantastic…read more Dr. Jane the eye doctor got my prescription super clear. Reading AND seeing far away are great now. She also fit me with contact lenses. I am 53 years old and this is my first time having contacts. She coached me through it and I am loving having contacts and she also helped me choose a great looking pair of glasses. Shawn the optician fit my bifocal lenses just right. In the past, at other places, I have had difficulty with the pitch of the bifocal and the reading was blurry, not with Shawn fitting the lenses. I was so pleased with my new glasses that I got a few more pairs. The eye doctor is great, the optician is great, the glasses selection is fantastic, the price is right, and the customer service is super fantastic.

When I first started coming here I had some bad contact lens habits (not throwing them away often enough, using the wrong solution, etc.) Dr. Chow took the time to thoroughly explain eyeball anatomy so that I could better understand why breaking these habits was in my best interest. He treated me like an intelligent human, which not every doctor does. (BTW, Dr. Chow, have you ever thought of calling this lecture "Eyeball Anatomy 101"?) I've recommended multiple people to Carrboro Family Vision, and everyone is more than satisfied. One friend (like me) thinks of this as the ideal patient-doctor experience; we only wish other doctors could learn from this office's success!

It's a welcome breath of fresh air after the terror that some eye doctors can wreak on you. They didn't even attempt to hide any of the normally-hidden fees that these places normally go with. All in all, I was very impressed.

I had an excellent experience here…read more I'd been searching for a replacement for my prescription Oakley sunglasses that had served me well for about eight years. I had originally purchased these Oakley's from Optical Reflections and thought I had lost them (later found!). Although I had a good buying experience eight years prior when buying the Oakley's I thought it would be wise to do some comparison shopping. I did a lot on on-line research before going out and actually visiting several optical shops in the Chapel Hill area. I had decided that I wanted to get some Maui Jim sunglasses this time around because as an avid boater, I learned that the Maui Jim's were highly regarded by boaters for their clarity in the marine environment. I found that although some of the other local shops (that carried the Maui Jim brand) were fine, I was treated especially well at Optical Reflections. Fred, (one of the two owners) actually remembered me, which I found amazing since it had been eight years. He was very knowledgeable about all the prescription sunglasses and yet not pushy. The shop had a very large selection and I was given lots of time to try on the various models. He offered good insight when asked but didn't try to steer me toward any particular choice . . . which I found quite comfortable. It took me two visits to the shop before I was sure of what I wanted. Once I decided on the particular model the ordering process was fast, efficient and accurate. I say "accurate" because when the glasses arrived about two weeks later I was thrilled with them. As a professional photographer the visual world is important to me and therefor I'm Ok with the higher cost of a quality optical product. This purchase has turned out to be one of my most satisfying buying experiences in a long time. The excellent service provided by Fred and the outstanding end result have inspired me to write this review.

While I was there I saw a Botox special, I went to a dermatologist the first time and had it done by a tech, and it was less expensive here by a doctor.

That said, the fitting and paperwork went smoothly and I love my new glasses.

I…read morevisited a few weeks ago for my first eye exam with this practice and learned that I definitely needed glasses. I purchased them through the office and paid a significant amount, with a "promise by" date of August 31 printed on my receipt. When I called on August 31, I was told they hadn't arrived yet. I completely understand that delays happen, so I waited a few days before following up. When I called again, I was told they still weren't in and that they had "no idea" when they would arrive. When I asked whether they could check on the status or get an updated timeframe, I was essentially told that the lab/vendor is bad at communicating with them, so they really didn't know. That's the part I find particularly frustrating. A delay is understandable; simply having no information after a promised delivery date (and seeming fairly complacent about not having any) is not. For someone who genuinely needs these glasses and spent a considerable amount of money ordering them here, I expected much better communication and follow-through. I was happy with the initial appointment, but unfortunately the experience since ordering my glasses has been disappointing.
