    I am 56 yrs old. I've was a patient for 5 years. Every year they would test my eye pressure. It was…read morealways elevated 19/21 but Dr. Baer was unconcerned. He gave me new eye prescriptions and charge Medicare/Medicaid. Every year my eye sight got progressively worse. This year in February after Dr. Baer gave me my prescription, I couldn't see 10 ft in my new $380 eyeglasses. I went back to South Penn, maybe the Optometrist made a mistake. Staff was unconcerned told me to give it time to get use to new prescription. It's August and I still can't see past 10 ft. I saw DR. Kessler in July for a second opinion. My pressure was 20/22. He immediately sent me to Dr. Swartz a glaucoma specialist at GBMC. Turns out I have Angle-closure non-glaucoma (because I haven't yet had an acute attack). A condition which causes the eye lens to fuse to the iris and close the drainage canals, causing fluid build up. On Tuesday I had a peripheral iridotomy, a 5 minute, in office procedure, that will save me from a future acute glaucoma attack that can result in massive nerve damage and vision loss. I have to see another specialist to correct the damage to my lenses before Dr Kessler can give me a new eye prescription. I'm hopeful that I will see again by Thanksgiving. Same condition two different opinions. Dr. Baer has been passively monitoring my pressure once a year for 5 years using the DO NOTHING method. I've made this review very detailed because eye sight and glaucoma is nothing to take lightly. It is your EYESIGHT. You need a proactive Dr who will fight to save that eyesight. I'll let you decide whom you would trust.

    It took to long. 1st in, last one out at least 5 people that came in after me where seen before me…read more Did not like the service.

    This was my first posted review on google. I had my cataract/astigmatism and lens…read morereplacement surgery in February 2024 . My review is still not certain. The results so far are not what I understood them to be based on how it was explained to me. If I have to leave a star before ending my post, please understand, the jury is still out. Then I added to this, Today is 7/30/24 Adding to the original post. Going into the 6th month soon and I'm still having the same problems with my vision. I'm praying Dr Friedman will be able to help me, because driving, along with shopping and every day chores is so frustrating and sometimes dangerous. It was word of mouth from many people that led me to place my sight in his hands. Then I added this after seeing him in Sept 2024 This is after my other 2 reviews below. I had an appt with Dr Friedman Sept 10, 2024. My husband went along for support. Dr Friedman came in and examined my eyes and seemed in a rush. He said he would give me a prescription for glasses and I could slip over into their optical center. He then turned to my husband and left the machine in my face and did not want to acknowledge my questions. I moved it myself and asked what else could he do. His answer " It's not an exact science", and " these things happen". Then " at least you vision is better than it was". I told him it wasn't fair. He got quite a bit of money out of our pocket and also some from Ins., so I said he should buy my glasses. Especially since he told me I would not need prescription glasses. I asked him why the staff at the surgi-center was so different from the 1st eye compared to the second. The first I had so many people come in the room and putting drops in my eye and the 2nd there was 2 people , and hardly any drops. He shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know". My comment was, "well you're my doctor and should be looking out for me". How the scratch got on my eye from the 1st surgery was never looked into. I thought it was from Dr Eaton who took out the lens and was pushing on my eye until finally she put drops in and it slid out. My husband told me he was about to do it for me. When I told Friedman, he snickered and said that didn't cause my problem. Oh, and as it says on their website about "state of the art equipment", I'm not so sure. While my eye was propped open, the machine had to reboot itself twice. During this last appointment, never did I hear an "I'm sorry Kathy". Also never in the beginning did I hear anything about the possibility of this whole ordeal not being a success. Not once! Many of the reviews. seem to be excellent. That's why I went to him. I wish I'd never gone through with it. I didn't trust the script for glasses he gave me and that turned out to be true. I went my optometrist and he re-examined me and and fitted me with progressive glasses. Dr. Friedman said he was not going to do regular eye exams any longer. Just going to do surgery's. Choose wisely is all I can say.

    I had an eye exam at this BJs , was in and out in 25 min (well run place in that regard) . They…read morehave a young doctor there , which I was a bit skeptical about . However; she did a great job . Very reasonable prices for exam and glasses. I'll be taking my son there in few month.

    My husband needed his progressive glasses updated. The Optometrist on site was very nice & helpful,…read morebut to our surprise, the main part of the examine was done virtual with 2 other optometrists. The one seemed to be in a hurry to close the session & was telling my husband goodbye when he spoke up & said that the potential glasses still wasn't clear. She suggested a couple changes & quickly closed the session. When my husband picked up his new glasses, he said that they were blurry. The lady at the counter made adjustments & said it will take several weeks to get used to them. My husband never got used to them & came back. She changed the nose pieces & said again to get used to them. My husband drives a large DOT truck & it's important that he can see, so we went to a real Optometrist, 2 different people there looked at both pair of new BJ's glasses & said that the progressive line was down on the one lense & way up on the other, on both pair! They couldn't believe that nobody caught that, plus the prescription was not right. They were able to reuse the frames, thankfully, and trashed the lenses. AND they did not say, "Get used to it!", like what Bj's did. He walked out the real Optometrist's office with his new glasses & he could see! We wasted a lot of money at Bj's. They had better stick to selling groceries.
