    I'm pretty unhappy with the contact lens training…read more After reviewing my bill, contact lens training is 20 bucks. It's still too much for watching a video on MyEyeDr's youtube page while staff tells me how easy it (putting contacts in) is. Initially, I thought it was 60 - but 40 was towards other services. I'm a little less annoyed - but still pretty sour that I actually paid for that experience. UPDATE: So, I went back tonight (four or five days after my initial visit.) Honestly, I've gone back and forth over my initial review. Originally it was much longer, more detailed, and but I thought I was being unfairly biased/negative. I don't think that's the case after my return visit tonight. Now i need to find a new provider. This location will stay busy because of it's convenient location, but the customer service/problem resolution is sorely lacking. They made me angrier tonight - all of this is unnecessary, unforced errors on their part. I really wanted the individualized attention and guidance I saw someone else receive this evening, but it just seems like it's not meant to be. Now I'm going to have to wait an entire calendar year to try with a different provider or pay out of pocket for an eye exam because our schedules/availabilities don't align. This is an unnecessarily frustrating situation - truly pointless.

Worked with Rachel on fixing this and now, 2 and a half weeks since I've noticed the issue, they still do not have a fix or way to rectify this for me. Either extreme incompetence or they do not care about the job or the customer.

When you invest in a good pair of frames and lenses, you want to know that support is there when you need it -- and that's exactly what Warby Parker delivers. No matter where I am in the United States, I can walk into any Warby Parker location, bring my glasses in, and get them adjusted quickly and professionally. That level of nationwide consistency is worth the price to me. The process is simple -- if it's busy, they'll take your information, send you a text or email, and you can go about your day until it's your turn. Very efficient. The store itself at Atherton Mill is beautiful -- clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. I always appreciate the natural wood finishes, skylights, and the clever way they merchandise the frames. Everything feels modern and welcoming. My one small disappointment after moving to North Carolina from the Bay Area was the limited availability of low-bridge frames. In California, those options were plentiful, so I came in with the same expectation here and it wasn't quite met. Hopefully that continues to improve over time, because representation in fit options really matters. That said, the customer service has always been excellent. I never have to wait very long, the staff is professional, and the environment is consistently pleasant. Another bonus is the location. Atherton Mill is in a great area with plenty to do while you wait -- there's shopping, coffee, and places to browse. You can easily spend a little time window shopping at nearby spots like Lululemon, West Elm, or Anthropologie, which makes the visit feel less like an errand and more like part of your day. One practical tip: Parking at Atherton Mill can be a bit challenging, especially during busy times since there are several restaurants and retail stores in the area. Just be patient -- you'll find a spot. Overall, I truly value the reliability and customer care Warby Parker provides. Great service, beautiful stores, and dependable support wherever you are.

We were recommended to come to Warby Parker at Atherton Mill, 2000 South Blvd. First, the staff was very professional and welcoming . and Ms. Licensed Optician Lily H came to us and offered assistance sincerely. She is so awesome, she fixed the damages on the eyeglass frame on the spot after 20 minutes. She is very friendly and we asked to offer a fee and she told us that it was at NO COST to us. My friend got her eyeglasses back joyfully as she could see now as the eyeglasses was fixed just like NO accident happened . Thank you so much for the Optician Lily H and she offered a big help which meant so much for others. Kuda to Lily and we would like the Warby Parker recognized her services offered to customers without reservation. Thank you for Warby Parker, and especially for Lily H, the Licensed Optician. We will come back for business, for sure.. Thank you for posting this review. Best Iris H.

It's located upstairs in a large space decorated like a boutique. They have cute and quirky decorations that really liven the place up.

Dr. Dryer does a fantastic job with remembering details about her patient's lives and makes great conversation. She's very friendly and personable throughout the appointment.

On my first visit with autarchic, they did a thorough eye exam where they explained the purpose of each test. Then they fitted me for contact lenses. I particularly liked how they walked me through putting them in and taking them out multiple times before I left. While i struggled a little at first, their instructions are now second nature and I can insert my contacts quickly on the first try (as long as I dont blink them out first. Since my visit, they helped me order a year supply of contacts over the phone. I left a message and they quickly responded. The shop itself is eclectic and cute with a very boutique feel. You don't ever feel like they are churning customers. The visit was very personalized and relaxed.

There are some other ladies in the office who come across as abrupt, rude and just generally unhappy people. No warm fuzzy going with them at all. The nurse who takes you back to the room is nice enough BUT she is usually in such a hurry that when she asks you questions, she lets you get out a few words before she cuts you off and doesn't let you finish your statement. I am no chatty Kathy. I will answer a question succinctly with the information you need. Please don't cut me off. First, how RUDE and second, it ended up taking even more time because I had to repeat what I had started saying and then finish my statement for her to have the information she needed. How did the rudeness save time? It didn't. Thankfully Drs. Fix and Eckel are AWESOME. I am difficult to get a correct lense because I really need a stronger RX than I have but it gives me headaches so we have to work and find what will work for me. I've seen both doctors over the years but have stuck with Dr. fix overall because she has found the knack for getting the right RX strength for me. So ultimately, I keep coming back because the doctors are fantastic but if it weren't for them, I would go somewhere else because the front staff just make me feel like an imposition when I come in. Maybe that is completely unintentional on their part but I'd like them to be aware of how the make people feel. I'm thick skinned but how about the elderly or people going thru tough times...they don't need to be made feel like that. I only took off one star for that.

This has been the most disappointing experience…read moreI've had with an eye care provider, and I have been receiving routine eye care since adolescence. My primary concerns relate to communication and professionalism at the front desk, particularly involving the office manager at the Rocky River location. During a recent visit, I was given incorrect information regarding my insurance coverage for an eye exam. I was initially told that I would be responsible for a significant out-of-pocket cost, which understandably caused concern and led me to consider canceling or rescheduling my appointment. When I attempted to clarify this with the front desk, I encountered inconsistent explanations and was informed that I would be charged a $50 cancellation fee. This was especially frustrating given that the confusion stemmed from misinformation provided by staff. When discussing the matter with the office manager, I found her demeanor to be dismissive and unprofessional, which further added to the stress of the situation. Fortunately, after speaking with a member of the financial department, I was correctly informed that my exam would be fully covered by insurance. While I ultimately proceeded with the appointment, the experience leading up to it was unnecessarily stressful and could have been avoided with clear and accurate communication. Additionally, I observed what appeared to be staff discussing patients within earshot of others, which raised concerns about professionalism and patient privacy. I do want to acknowledge that several staff members were courteous and helpful. However, my interactions with the office manager significantly impacted my overall impression of this location. I hope leadership addresses these concerns to improve communication, professionalism, and the overall patient experience.
