    I was lucky enough to go back to American Vision again. I was welcomed back by Julia who remembered me and my name as she greeted me by first name. Already the memories from my prior visit gave me a happy flashback. Julia looked up my insurance and told me I was covered for exam and glasses. Julia was the best picking out an awesome pair of glasses that fit my face perfectly. Next up was the exam with Dr.Kerinna McDonald. Dr.McDonald was awesome as ever, she examined my eyes and with the patience of a saint and a wonderful personality made my exam thourogh and to the point I've had many different kinds of doctors before and Dr McDonald rates above par of all the other doctors. I will tell all my family and friends about my excellent experience here.

    I was quite surprised to see a spacious optometry studio when I walked in for my eye appointment for the first time. From the outside, this office and eye glass store looks like a tiny corner hole in the wall with dim lighting but it was actually welcoming inside. The Office was playing on the TV screen while I waited ten minutes to be seen by Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan was amazing and helped me answer all the questions I had about the eye exam process. The retinal imaging costs an extra ($30) but it was well worth it since he took time the time to carefully review and explain the scans he took of the back of my eye. Through my insurance I was also able to choose from at least 100 pairs of glasses for ($122) with polycarbonate and blue light lenses, which is a decent price and not at a high markup. For a similar pair of glasses I have been quoted at over $300 before and I should have walked out of those stores in the past. I am glad I found a trustworthy optometry office. There are glasses online for much less at $50 (and many add-on fees) but the American Vision associates allowed me to try on dozens of glasses I was interested along the walls and in the glass display. They also took the time to make sure the glasses I was wearing was fitted properly. Overall it was a great experience and I was able to get what I needed done in one hour.

    These were not available however she was able to order them.

    I've been coming here for years and I can't stress enough how wonderful they are ! The customer service is phenomenal and they really go above and beyond to help you and make sure everything is ok when picking up you frames or contacts. Julia is incredibly nice and very professional she's always ready to help makes things easy and non stressful. Thank you again for the phenomenal service provided always!

    I got my new glasses at American Vision and can gladly say I was very satisfied with my experience. It's a family-run business and all the employees are very friendly. My doctor was very friendly and very informative, explaining what she was doing every step of the way (and even explaining that she purposefully wrote me a weak prescription for my astigmatism so I don't fall over due to the strength of the correction!). Her mother helped me pick out the frames, and she's quite good at it, too; the frames she picked on her first try ended up being my favorite by far, and I haven't stopped receiving compliments on them. They were also nice enough to give me a copy of my prescription in case I ever want to order glasses from elsewhere. I returned to AV to get the frames straightened and in the process they accidentally scratched one of the lenses, but they didn't hesitate to immediately order a new one (on the house) and replace it within the week. Overall it was a great experience, very easy to use with almost any insurance (I had VSP and they were very careful to explain all the options I had with my plan), and I'd recommend it to anyone.

It's always a good sign when you call and can get a hold of a live person over the phone. That was the first draw in. When our appointment came up, we were greeted by friendly staff. The store is bright and inviting, but smaller than the last eyeglass supply store (a larger chain) we'd gone to. The selection of eyeglasses are limited to pricier designer frames, but upon inquiring, I was told that they have affordable (read: frames covered by insurance) available upon request, it just hasn't been put up on display yet. Plus, it was nice to see there were some refreshments and a clean bathroom available while we waited. Most importantly, this store was CLEAN-- there ample hand-sani at the ready, plus signs they clean their display frames between customers. Once the initial paperwork was done, the rest of our service was expedient. We were taken to a room for pre-testing, and then soon after met with the doctor. He answered all our questions, and never pressured us into buying lenses/frames. While this is a smaller store, the doctor has another office in NJ where he can check his inventory should there be something specific you want. Hope this location does well, it's good to have options other than large chain optical stores.

I had such a bad experience here for my recent eye exam. Not sure if it was the car salesman at the front, or the Eye doctor's fault. I basically needed cvs readers, but I wanted progressive lenses. I have insurance with full coverage. I was charged almost $700. I knew something was wrong. I checked my insurance when I got home and all of it was wrong. I had to bring in proof for the salesman to come correct. The guy said my bad, and refunded me $300. He knew just what he was doing, I gave him my insurance card. When the glasses came in, it was the wrong prescription. Couldn't see at all. So I then had to come in for another exam to correct the mistake. With a different eye doctor. I was crystal clear with both eye doctors. They are readers over my contacts. Over a month later, glasses came back with a line on them, not progressives. So they were sent back again. When they finally came in, 3 months after original appt, the prescription was off. I couldn't see up close, I had to pull back to see. Which is the reason I came in to start with. I left with the glasses, bc who can deal with this incompetency for a 4th time. Here I paid $400 out of pocket for glasses I can't use. He never adjusted the price for the wrong prescription lenses he sold me from the start. Meanwhile I shouldn't have paid more then my copay for this whole ordeal. Yet they try and make you feel like they are giving you a deal with their SPIEL! Spin the wheel for a discount, after I extort you. Place is a joke!

Especially when the wind hit them while driving I finally had enough and went back to Oakland Gardens Eye Care. I saw the fabulous and amazing Lee whose grace and attitude add to the already magnificent vibes coming from this place. Lee first told me that I can get a 12 noon appointment but on her own called the doctor who was on a conference call to see if he had time to see me. The doctor in question is Dr.Nerry Nayzov, and I've seen him many time's prior and found him to be a perfectionist in his art. He can spot a problem and analyze it with a million tests like other doctors. Today was no different as soon as Dr.Nerry saw me he realized that I had the start of an eye infection. He took some pictures and ordered a strong eye medicine and told me that I should see results in a week after taking eye drops 3 time's a day. I strongly recommend this place everyone here makes you feel welcome and like part of the family
