My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Schneider and Dr. Chow for years. It's always easy to get an appointment, there's never a long wait and everyone is kind and helpful. The office is bright and option and features a wide selection of glasses and sunglasses to choose from and orders usually come in quickly within a week or two. There's parking available out front, which can get a bit busy with other local businesses and the grocery store, but you can usually find something. read more

every time I go here, they are always super slow to take me back, and I am constantly waiting in the room for one of the doctors. I went in today to pick up my eyewear and dealt with the rudest front desk receptionist. there were two young girls who had an attitude to help me the entire time. i've been going here for years, and unfortunately after today I think it's time to switch optometrist read more

After 40years +/_ of being with Dr. Schneider, This new corporate group has no scene of costumer service. I ordered updated prescription lenses for my frames, that I needed for an upcoming trip. Two weeks later I got the call they broke my frames. Understood, they are not responsible for my expensive frame I bought from them the year previous. They said I would need to buy new frames, so I asked to see frames that would fit the lenses made. They said, it did not matter because the lenses were thrown away. Then, I asked how long to get a replacement, 2 weeks. Leaving for a trip in one week. Asked for a refund and they said they would issue one. Nothing said about 25% restocking fee for lenses they trashed. Went elsewhere and received a pair of free sunglasses for driving in a couple of days and they tried to get my glasses as ordered from Total Vision before I left, Came up a day short but at lease they tried to accommodate my needs. BTW both pair of glasses were half the cost from Total Vision. read more

I give them five stars for finally getting my teen in contacts! Others have tried, and failed, to teach how to use them correctly. Very competitively priced on contacts, too. read more

First visit to this place and our experience concur with all the 5 star reviews, yep those are all true! Cherissa and Nelly in the front were the best, knowledgeable, kind, and tons of patience! No up sale and no pressure at all, just attentive service that exceeded our expectations. Thank you, ladies! read more

That was the most thorough and informative eye exam I have ever had. 100% of my questions were answered, I was down everything I needed to know, and everyone was super friendly and nice. I highly recommend these guys. read more

Dr Schneider is the best! I would refer to all of my friends and family, him and his staff go above and beyond for their patients. I was able to be seen the same day and the entire team was very accommodating and I left feeling 10 times better after being treated for a corneal abrasion. Thank you Dr Schneider and team! read more

My first time here and I was very pleased! The front office is very friendly and informative. I saw Dr. Schneider and he's very knowledgeable and precise. The office has all the latest equipment, wide range of glasses and follows covid safety guidelines! read more

Dr. Schneider is a good guy and a rather caring doctor. However, the staff there is extremely unhelpful. I felt like they were trying to up-sell me on using their advanced equipment. There are hidden fees that they don't tell you about until they give you your bill before you leave. Oh yeah, and they charged my credit card TWICE and would NOT do anything about it! I had to call my bank on a 3-way call with the Doctor's office just so that my bank representative could tell them that they were fraudulently charging my card an extra $230! I went in for contact lenses. I had never been here before, but CVC was recommended through my insurance company's website. My insurance co-pay is $10. I asked them on the phone before I made an appointment if that was the only charge and of course the answer was yes. 'Your insurance will cover it' they said. Of course I knew that I was going to pay for the contacts as well, but I was just making sure that they accepted my insurance. I go in for my visit and after they call me to the back, the first thing they ask me is 'do I want to upgrade my exam.' Upgrade my exam? I did not want my eyes dilated, so it was going to cost an extra $35 for them to turn on their "Special" machine that does the same thing without dilating the eye. (Mind you, this is part of the reason why they were ranked high on the recommendation list, due to their advanced machinery that was supposedly provided to all of their patients. Truth is, no special advanced machinery on your eye exam unless they pay an extra $35. I said no, and left it at that. After the doctor came in and had the exam, I go to pay my $10 co-pay and the lady bluntly says, "That'l be $52.50." I had to ask her to repeat herself literally 3 times. I asked her numerous times what the extra amount was for and she repeatedly answered that it was for the contact lens exam. I said 'isn't that part of the insurance co-pay?' She replied, "No. Your insurance pays for the the eye exam, but there is a $42.50 charge for a contact exam. I wanted to scream: THAT'S THE SAME THING! So I left there a little ticked off. I even had my wife call the next day to make sure that they weren't trying to scam me. She got the same reply. So even my wife asked, what is the insurance for if you are just going to charge your patients an extra $42.50? If I wore glasses then I wouldn't be charged the $42.50? The girl actually didn't even know how to answer that. She just kept repeating herself over and over. It's for the contact exam. It's for the contact exam. After all that, I still ordered my contacts from them. I ordered a year's worth. The day after my order, I checked my balance and noticed that the doctor's office had charged my card TWICE for $230. (My year's worth of contacts were $230). I called them and asked them if they could please refund me the $230 due to an accounting error. They tried to assure me that there was no error and I was mistaken. I told them that the charge literally already came out of my account and that I am not mistaken. The next thing that came out of this woman's mouth is the entire reason that I am writing this review. She said: "Well, that's happened before. Sometimes our machine charges people twice. It might work itself out in about 3-5 business days. Call your bank and work it out with them because we cannot do anything for you." I was in shock! I called my bank and had to patch in the doctor's office on a 3-way call just to get the bank representative to explain that they were indeed charging me twice and that they were performing fraudulent activity if this is a repeating offense, as the woman stated to me. They cannot expect to charge people twice and then "Hope it works itself out in 3-5 business days." That's absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. For those of you thinking of going there, let me save you the hassle. There are MANY other places that are MUCH BETTER. It's just an ugly feeling knowing that the office just doesn't care about its patients. I am a business man and understand the strategic ways to make a sale; however, hidden fees, unexpected charges and charging people twice and not telling them are not strategies for sales. They are fraudulent activities and a sure way to lose all of your patients and never gain any new ones. read more

I recently got an eye test here and while the testing was great, optometrist very knowledgeable, the process of picking out a frame great, when I went to retrieve my finished glasses, which I paid hefty price, as I wear progressive lens and anti glare, they were not the color shown and chosen. The person working with me to check the fit and sizing was rude and just said. "That's what was ordered" IMG_1150.HEIC. I was upset and should have left the glasses, but as my own pair had a terrible scratch right in the middle I just walked out with them. Won't be going back. read more

My original eye doctor retired so dreaded finding a replacement. I got lucky, Dr. Schneider is truly a remarkable man! Awesome staff, just a really nice gentle man. Dr. Is extremely knowledgeable, and patient. Go there, you'll be glad you did read more

Although I moved from Camarillo in 2010 to the San Fernando Valley, I continue to have my annual eye exams at Camarillo Vision Center. Dr. Chow is extremely professional, thorough with the examination process and assessment of my eye health, as well as consistently caring and kind. The staff are equally as stellar and provide excellent customer service. Selection of eyewear is diverse and reasonably priced. read more

My first time at this office. The staff greets you as soon as you open the door. I had an appointment with dr Chow. She was fantastic, explained every part of the exam and very through. Love this place read more

What a truly amazing, caring, and one-of-a-kind doctor! In the 15 years that I couldn't see him due to a relocation, I had more conveniently seen almost a dozen different specialists all over the world during my extensive travels. None were able to help or show even the slightest desire to help. After wasting so much time and money, I finally decided to travel far and make a special trip just to go back to Dr. Schneider, who had originally prescribed me the one pair that I always resorted back to. Without knowing just how far I travelled just to see him, I was extra surprised and reassured of his greatness when he, on his own, dedicated over an hour out of his very busy schedule just to address my problem. He went out of his way and performed so many tests, that he didn't even charge me for, just to find out the root cause of my problem, and spent more time afterwards writing reports to retina specialists to further help me see better. Something he didn't even have to do and I didn't pay him for. Thank you immensely Dr. Schneider for your incredible passion that you have for what you do, researching, and for sincerely enjoying helping people see perfectly. You are simply THE BEST, both morally and in your medical field. read more

Visited for the 1st time about a week ago and had a great experience! Did not have to wait and my eye exam was comprehensive!

I just moved here and needed a new Optometrist. I found Dr. Schnieder through yelp and a neighbors recommendation. He was wonderful! He took his time and didn't rush me. He decided to make me a temporary pair from some equipment he had in his office so I could actually see what my glasses would be like. I liked the office, the staff and especially Dr. Schnieder. Morgan was also very helpful with all of my new and old glasses and got all of them adjusted. I'm glad this worked out and so glad I found him. read more

I used to go to Lenscrafters for my annual eye exam and contacts refill. No more. For the past four years I have been visiting Dr. Chow and am so pleased with my experience. Friendly office staff, appointments usually on time, and you don't feel like you're being rushed so they can get to the next person. Dr. Chow takes time to understand your needs and concerns and adjusts as needed. read more

I have been going to Dr. Schneider for I don't know how long. He always takes his time with me, discussing my issues and looking for answers to my vision problems. I really trust him. I've been helped by Dr. Chow in the past and she was also very caring. All the ladies working there make you feel welcome immediately and are very sweet. Today, Cherissa helped me select my new frames, which is no small feat. Let's face it, when you wear glasses 24/7, it's like wearing the same dress every day and it has to be right! Cherissa helped me pick out at least a dozen frames to try on and we narrowed them down together. She didn't rush me and I felt like she had my best interests in mind, finding me the best fitting and best looking frames. I felt I could trust her opinions and was very happy with the result. In between exams, whenever I need an adjustment or something, they are happy to help me. You might be able to pay less, but you will never get this service anywhere else. read more

Both doctors Marty Schneider and Vicky Chow are professional, detail oriented and friendly. Full services staff is cordial, easy to speak with and well trained. They explain all the steps and doctors offer superlative observations and recommendations. When busy, they make you feel comfortable never rushed and pay attention to every detail regardless. Their hours are great for working professionals. Their EyeCyclopedia is worth a look. I recommend them to anyone. read more

I have been coming here for almost 30 years. I am severely myopic and also have astigmatism - in other words, my eyesight is lousy! I'm very particular about my optometric care and visited several optometrists before I was referred to Dr. Schneider. He is a very conscientious and caring provider. The office is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment (even though my insurance does not cover the inner-eye camera, it's worth the extra $$ to skip having my eyes dilated). The staff is efficient and professional and the prices are comparable with other vision providers. I have referred many friends and coworkers here without hesitation. read more

This office is great! Dr. Chow is sweet and helpful. The staff is amazing as well. Great selection for glasses!

This is a review on DR. Schneider. I usually see Dr. Chow who I really like, but during my Lasik procedure Dr. Schneider literally squeezed me into his schedule even right when the store opened. He was very helpful for a last minute procedure and He was very thorough with his pre and post operation examinations and he really took his time to ensure I had all my questions answered and I didn't feel rushed. No doubt that Dr. Schneider will take care of you. I've been going to Camarillo Vision for 3-4 years and I can't recommend them more enough. read more

The Doctors here are great. They are very thorough and caring with their patients. The rest of the staff is very competent and friendly and happy to provide great service. Cherissa who works the front provides outstanding service and fixed a pair of ray band sunglasses I had that were too loose and now look new again! I defientuly recommenced seeing this practice. read more

We have been going here for years and would not go anywhere else. The staff is always very polite and helpful. Dr. Chow is wonderful and explains everything thoroughly. I know I am getting the best advice and treatment possible. read more

Dr. Schneider uses state of the art technology and provides a comprehensive eye exam.

Dr. Schneider's office is great! I have been going to him for about 15 years and he has me seeing better than I have in my entire life! I have recommended him to family and friends. He is thorough and professional. I never feel rushed during the exam. I get personal attention from the staff and have never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. His machines are state-of-the art and the staff is very competent. I had an eye emergency the other day and Dr. Schneider opened his office just to see me! Even though it was a holiday, he took the time to come in to his office to give me an exam and to prescribe me some much needed medication. What a life saver! Thank you Dr. Schneider! read more

I have always received excellent care here. The staff is friendly, efficient, knowledgable. I have seen both doctors and both are professional and have an excellent way of attending to my needs. This is the only office that I will go to. read more

Dr. Schneider is truly amazing, he takes his time with me trying to fine the best contacts that will work for me especially because I'm a Hygienist and I have to wear my loops to work on my patients. I never have to wait to be seen, they are always on time. The front office is very friendly. I would highly recommend this office to my friends and family. read more

I have never had an excellent eye care exam before and I've had eye exams plenty. But this place, was leaps and bounds over anything I had ever experienced. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, courteous and answered my myriad of questions respectfully. I was very concerned about some eye issues and opted to get a retina xray which cost a little bit more but I'm so glad I did. I did not want my eyes dilated and I did not want to wait to make sure that things were great with my eyes. The machinery is clean, state of the art and very patient friendly. I received a very well rounded exam and couldn't be happier with my experience. I was waited on hand and eye - and I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful office. No detail or option left unexplained. Thank you to everyone there. read more

Had a very good experience with them. I usually go to Costco, however with my new insurance I wanted to put use to a local optometrist and my experience was pleasant. Everyone from front to back was really nice. The women who helped me pick out glasses was soo nice and patience. I mustve tried on 30 pairs and she never once seemed annoyed or inpatient. She even pulled out a few and made a few suggestions. My glasses even came within a few days. read more

Organized and friendly front office staff,quick and efficient. Glasses were ready next day! Dr Chow is the best! (Other Dr offices should be as well staffed!) read more

This office offers top notch service from start to finish! I waited until the last day to file claims under my Flex Benefit and needed an appointment the same day. Morgan and Dr. Schneider went out of their way to fit me in over their lunch hour. WOW, what service! Kathy explained all the testing and before I knew it I had frames picked out, and was on my way back to work. This office exemplifies Customer Service in every way. I highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his team. read more
