    Very friendly, jovial staff. They joked with me they had the ability to "save my relationship" and…read moreyes they did!! I broke my girlfriend's beloved sunglasses and without question they repaired them in fast order. Much to her joy she has them back repaired like new!

    My experience at Optical Innovations has been perhaps the worst example of customer service I've…read moreever received. And I don't write these reviews lightly. I am a repeat customer, and after buying my second pair of glasses, bringing my total expenditure at Optical Innovations to $1,000 in the space of about 4 months, I wanted to return a pair of frames that were so uncomfortable I truly couldn't wear them. The retail price of the frames was $75, and, as you might imagine, that probably represented an investment of about $35 (or less) for Optical Innovations. They finally agreed to "break" their policy and accept a return after 30 days of thinking about it. This process required three phone calls on my part and one trip to the store to actually give in, pick up the frames, and keep them myself - which offer they refused. Then, they told me, repeatedly, that they mailed me a check representing a refund. After six weeks went by without receiving the check (by the way, they are about 10 blocks from my house), and multiple phone calls, I again wanted to just pick up the frames and move on. They refused to allow me to do that, and in fact, hung up on me when I called. Imagine my surprise to receive, finally, a week ago, a check representing payment for the returned item. Which, by the way, I'm pretty confident they sold to someone else, which is why they wouldn't (and couldn't) give it to me when I asked for the glasses back. For me, this wasn't about the money - it was about a horrifying example of a complete and total lack of customer service. For a sum of $35 or less, they were perfectly willing to ruin any chances of an ongoing relationship (and I buy glasses, often, as does every member of my family). They lied, then lied some more. Then hung up on me when I called -- and finally -- when I was almost beyond caring, capitulated and send me a refund. In this instance, everyone is a loser. I lost the ridiculous amount of time and energy that dealing with them - over this trivial issue - required of me. And they lost all credibility and the chance to ever serve me again, in any capacity. Sadly, as I began to ask around after receiving this kind of treatment at Optical Innovations, many similar stories surfaced. In sum, my advice for those for whom great customer service is as important as great eyewear, that you avoid Optical Innovations at all costs.

    Overall eye exam went well; it's the office staff that did make a good impression on me. It was…read morewritten down on my paperwork & the doctor mentioned that (one) contact would need to be ordered for my left eye, I even reiterated (one) contact needed to be ordered, she billed me, took my money but did NOT order my contact until I "reminded" her once again! I was not advised when or how my contacts would be available to top it all off I had to ask for a paid receipt and was met with "oh you want a receipt?" Seriously, if it's not written down it didn't happen. I called to check the status of my contact and was told "You're in a wait status" and that they should have already been received. I asked if I had to go to the office or will the contacts be delivered to my home, the gentleman said "oh you should have been given the choice at the time of the order if you wanted them mailed to your...and of course I was not given that or any other option. In short, not a happy camper!!!!! I would have given a 2.5, but the Dr. and techs were nice and proficient for the most part, one of the techs seemed new and struggled through the screening.

I called Fairway Eye Center remembering it was the practice where my son and his family go. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor was amazing. I was scheduled for an immediate appointment and received thorough, excellent care. Several days later I was able to follow up with my doctor at home as recommended. My experience was superb. I highly recommend Fairway Eye Center.
