    Great place for routine eye care. I've been seeing Dr. Martin for about 3 years now. The building…read moreis a little dated and the wait time is long. Nonetheless, the employees are professional and helpful. Dr. Martin is kind, patient, and knowledgable. He takes the time to answer questions, offer options, and hear your preferences. I continue to return annually for check-ups. They are clear regarding the pricing and don't do additional tests unless needed or requested. For instance they don't dilate your eyes if unneeded unless you request it. Side note: the online registration is convenient albeit long. The uploaded photos of your insurance card and license don't go through so they need to scan them when you arrive. Parking is available in spaces surrounding the building.

They have gone…read morethrough some personnel changes (retirement, etc) since we have been going there, but the very pleasing atmosphere has not changed. Everyone is so friendly and always ready to help. We both are currently seeing Dr May. He is awesome!! He shows he cares about his patients by listening and making sure he answers any questions in a way you will understand. He willingly explains everything that may be going on with your eyes and makes sure he follows up at your next visit. Even if there are no eye problems, he still shows care and friendliness while being professional. It is a pleasure to visit Johnston Optimetrics. And, by the way, if you have an appointment, you're not sitting and waiting at any point. You are Mom I've through the process very effectively and efficiently with no rushing and nothing left out. THANK YOU Johnson Optimetrics Associates!

I went and needed to make an appointment- a week later 4/21/27 i was examined and I was impressed with all the updated machines. I had to wait a few weeks for glasses to be made, which is not unusual. I then went in and tried them on, these were $900 bifocals with all the bells and whistles, but the long-distance view was blurry. I immediately told this to the woman helping me, but she said take them home and get used to them and if they don't get better, bring them back. After a week, I went back and they gave me another exam, and the results were different from the first. After waiting another week or so, I went back again. the new glasses were fine. However, upon leaving, they handed me the old prescription and did not give me the accurate prescription. All was fine until I wanted to get a pair of prescription sunglasses from Costco. I gave them the script from Carolina Vision and waited a week. These sunglasses were for a vacation planned for the beginning of September to see Ireland. Well, when I tried the new sunglasses on , they were blurry. The optometrist at Costco tested my regular glasses and discovered the the script the I was given was the wrong script. so now i have to go on my vacation without the benefit of great sunglasses . Bottom line - Carilina Family vision looks pretty on the outside, the salespeople are professional, but behind the scenes it is a clown show .

The doctors are very kind, and have always steered us in the right direction for my son's eye care. They might be a little more pricey than other places, but I feel with the customer service and the experience we have had there makes it worth it!

    Quick summary: This was my first time to this provider and they will have my business from now on…read more (unless something dramatic were to occur.) Full Review: I was in a pinch (my last pair of glasses broke and my prescription was 2.5 yrs old). I walked in and asked if I could just wait and see if they could fit me in. The staff said I was welcome to wait (in fact they were super friendly) but they were completely booked so it wasn't likely I would be seen. I lucked out and a person did not show up. They fit me in after about 20min. My experience was excellent. Honestly it was one of the best trips to an eye doctor I've have in many many years. (I've worn contacts/glasses for nearly 30yrs). While I was there, I went ahead and ordered my new glasses (one of the new Nike frames). This was on a Friday. For some reason, I didn't get the transition lenses this time ( I almost always do). As the weekend progressed I started having sever buyers remorse. I went in to their office Saturday afternoon and asked if I could change my order to add the transition to the glasses. I really thought the answer would be no. They were happy to help me make the change and let me know that it would probably delay my order. I kind of assumed it would but I felt better about the purchase now so no big deal. Imagine my surprise when they called me Monday afternoon to let me know I could come in and pick up my glasses! Awesome experience!

    Booked an appointment online for next available Saturday, which was some weeks out. As the week of…read morethe appointment approached I received recorded messages notifying me of the appointment. Instructing if I couldn't make it to call them. I went in the day of my appointment, a 45 min drive, and was told they filled my time slot because I didn't confirm the appointment, what!!! The customer service lady hardly made an effort to correct the issue or to get me in quicker. Now I have to wait another month to see them. All I wanted to do was to replace a pair of glasses I lost. I will not be back to this location and I am looking at options to use a different company!

I tried repeatedly to call to let them know I had the flu and would not be in for my scheduled appointment. So this year when I tried to schedule appointments for my husband and myself, I was told I had missed an appointment last year. I could not get an appointment the same day as my spouse. We live 18 miles 1 way from their location. Every question I had fir her was met with the missed appointment. Repeatedly, I could not choose an appointment time. I could not get an appointment for 3 months. Again because of the missed appointment. So finally I just told h er to forget it. We would go someplace else. I rescheduled with a doctor in Fayetteville, NC with in 2 weeks. Not an issue. Im happy to say I dont have to disappoint their entire office staff ever again. Please consider a ph9ne number for messages or emergency calls. Please keep this in mind. Even my vet for my dog isn't this strict. But then I never missed an appointment with them. Be careful who you do business with.

    I don't recommend dr Byrd or any of his offices. they run you through to quickly and charge for…read moreeverything they ca. I refused some extra testing and signed that I didn't want it, Dr Byrd told me I needed one more test after he did his 5 minute exa, he said it was covered by my copay. the test was the testing I had refused, not covered by any insurance copay the "copay". was the 40.00 charge for the test I didn't want he just referred to the charge as a copay. I think it's very unprofessional to do that. they are 100% about up sales. I paid 119 extra for contact lenses exam and training, I got no training and my entire eye exam took less than 5 minute. I left the office feeling like I had been taken advantage of and questioning whether I needed to go to another eye dr. no change in my prescription but I can't read toad signs I can barely see out of one eye but "it's as good as he can get it" save yourself a lot of money and go somewhere else that cares about their patients

    Zero stars - extremely disappointing experience. I waited 45 minutes after my appointment time to…read morebe seen, finally someone noticed me waiting and asked another staff member to get me started. While going over charges at the end, I had a $145 contact fitting fee. I've been wearing contacts for years so no one helped me "fit" anything. After stating they should really be more transparent around pricing I was informed that I was supposed to be told upfront. I asked for one pair of contact lens samples to take with me to use during the two week wait time and was told no. $718 and 3 hours later (no exaggeration ) I was finally on my way out. I did ask if that time frame was typical and was told that it was normal now that they've switched to virtual. I now know after reading other reviews that it's actually not typical. I feel deceived on pricing and my time and patronage were not respected or appreciated. I'll be picking up my glasses (cheapest pair available) and contacts and will never visit again. I'll add that the virtual visit with the doctor and technician was fine and both were professional. Unfortunately this doesn't make up for the rest of the visit but it's at least one good caveat to this.

    Now that they've added the option to come in, get tested and then meet with the doc via video, it…read morehas really opened up so many more appointments. Since I prefer this store, it's a huge help. Lara has all the newest equipment and gets the eye check done very quickly. Angel has the glasses/contact ordering down. It's a very well managed office.

I did not get the exam because I just had one elsewhere the week prior. Walked in and was greeted and taken care of.

Said he put it on system and that he would call to tell me any copay. I had to retrieve a rx from a different state so would be returning. He calls and says these glasses your child wants will be 79$ with your insurance and she can pick 2 pair. It took me nearly 1 month to get together that money. Meanwhile my husband has been walking around with scratched glasses and one whole arm missing, bc he was told arpund 140$ in july and we sure dont have that. I finally have the $ and go in and #1 the glasses we selected that the guy was supposedly specifically checking on with our insurance was not a blue tag, which would be 2 for $79. We pivoted. Picked 2. Left. Emailed later on, bc in the store i saw a sign that saifld 2 for 79 and so on, for anyone who walks in without insurance; which prompted me to check again with insurance and ask them to recheck as what insurance says is, "covered". They replied to me that they do not take medicaid and that they have a medicaid discount price but the better option for us was 2 for 79 and that they told us this. No. In fact they charaded the opposite. It was a different man i was emailing with, btw. The solution, for them, as a medical establishment that is supposed to help folks, is to say "hi, no, we do not take medicaid ", when asked, and then follow up with "but we do offer a discount program and you are most welcome to shop with us!". This is called good business. Honest business. Helping people. Medicaid, means you dont have $ for what most people do. Medicaid means if there's a fee, kids and adults go without for much longer, and when they do get the funds they are instead going without food this time. Deceptive and, fraudulent, to be frank. Anyhow we got the glasses bc we need them and had been waiting a long time to. They are nice. I would highly recommend this store to someone with no insurance who is looking to pay out of pocket. There is obviously a sales incentive, also, which is wrong in a medical facility. We originally thought they had been so kind to us and raved about them. Ha.
