I don't think anyone particularly likes going in for their annual eye exam, but the team at Green…read moreHills Eyecare made our appointment as pain-free and pleasant as possible. Using their online portal, I scheduled exams for me and my husband around three weeks in advance. As with any doctor, I recommend double checking with your insurance company before booking to make sure you're covered. The Green Hills Eyecare team also followed up with me over the phone after I booked my appointments to confirm all of my insurance information and medical history. The office is located on the third floor of an easy-to-access medical building, complete with free parking. We arrived and filled out some paperwork, before beginning our exams. Hayley and Dr. Waymire were so friendly and knowledgable, offering helpful explanations to any and all of our questions. Bonus ... for anyone who hates that dreaded prick of air to dilate your eyes, you'll be pleased to know this office does things a little differently! We didn't purchase new frames this time around, but Mike the optician was happy to print out our prescriptions and provide some advice for future purchases. I absolutely recommend Green Hills Eyecare if you're in need of an eye exam - we look forward to returning for our next annual visit!

I had a very disappointing and upsetting experience with Green Hills Eyecare…read more I paid almost $800 for a pair of prescription glasses. The frames looked good when I selected them, but once the prescription lenses were installed, the glasses were extremely heavy on my nose--to the point that they caused pain and left an indentation. After about two weeks, I returned to the practice. I never saw Dr. Waymer again after my initial examination and instead dealt with Mike, the optician who handles the eyewear sales. The practice took the glasses back, but I later received messages pressuring me to come in and select another pair. I was sick and then overseas, so approximately three weeks passed before I was able to return. When I finally went back with my 17-year-old daughter to choose a smaller, lighter frame, the experience became even worse. Mike appeared upset and barely spoke to me. Another staff member, whose name I believe was Chelsea/Chelsey, approached me with what both my daughter and I perceived as an unnecessarily confrontational attitude. She told me that my options were essentially to take the original glasses back that day or receive only $318 back, even though I had paid almost $800 for the glasses. I repeatedly asked them to work with me. I was not asking for anything extravagant--I simply wanted to choose a smaller, lighter and even less expensive frame that I could comfortably wear. Instead, Mike told me that if I wanted replacement glasses, I would have to pay approximately another $470 on top of what I had already paid. I found this completely unreasonable. I left the office without glasses. What concerned me even more happened afterward. The following week, I called because I wanted an appointment with Dr. Waymer. I was still experiencing symptoms from my previous visit and was also seeing white flashes in my vision. I was questioned about my symptoms and was not given an appointment. I called again on subsequent days and still could not get an appointment with the doctor. This is what ultimately made this experience so troubling. A disagreement over expensive glasses is one thing, but I do not believe a dispute with the optical/sales side of a practice should interfere with a patient's ability to request medical care from their eye doctor, particularly when reporting a new visual symptom. I paid nearly $800 for prescription glasses, plus the cost of my examination and approximately $150 for prescribed eye drops, and ultimately left without usable glasses and feeling that I was treated disrespectfully rather than helped. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. I hope Dr. Waymer personally reviews what occurred, including how my eyewear issue was handled and my subsequent attempts to obtain an appointment. After spending all this money, being treated this way, and leaving without the prescription glasses I paid for, I feel robbed. I paid almost $800 for the glasses, around $170 for the consultation, and $150 for eye drops, and then Mike wanted another $470 just to replace the painfully heavy glasses with a smaller, cheaper pair. I left with no glasses. Even more concerning, when I later called with continuing symptoms and white flashes in my vision, Chelsea and another staff member, Barbilla, repeatedly refused to schedule me with Dr. Waymer. Based on my experience, it felt as though Chelsea was doing everything possible to prevent me from speaking directly with Dr. Waymer, who owns the practice, about what had happened. Again. I feel robbed.

What I love about Warby is that they take both FSA and HSA. They also measure pupillary distance on the spot via their in-app, staff-operated iPads. Be sure to bring in your own, updated prescription if you want to purchase glasses that day. You can always update them later, but it makes it easier on everyone if you have a digital or hard copy. Adjustments are free, and they have low-bridge varieties for all my APIA/AAPI fam out there. Remember that sunglasses and glasses frames are pretty interchangeable for whichever one you prefer: they are all just frames. There is an optometrist on site (pun intended) if you need one and didn't have a prescription. Warby also does their own contact lenses, but I haven't tried them, so I can't really tell you much about them: only that they, like their frames, seem affordable. The only slightly tricky situation is parking. There is plenty of street parking should you choose to arrive on a random Tuesday midday. I imagine there would be less so on a busy Friday evening considering the many restaurants nearby. There is a paid lot, but they were renovating it when I was there.

SEE, Nashville 21st Ave…read more I'm writing this as a husband. My wife spent over a thousand dollars at SEE, and this was already her second trip driving 35 miles to pick up her glasses. One pair was fine, but the other pair she literally could not see through. Instead of helping, the saleswoman made my wife feel like it was her fault. She asked questions like, "This is a 24, do you want me to order a 25?" My wife had no idea what that even meant, and kept saying, "I just want to see." The exchange reduced her to tears. Thankfully, a salesman eventually stepped in and seemed to get the order right, but here we are nearly two weeks later and still no glasses. The worst part is the timing. This week was my wife's grand opening of her business, complete with ribbon cutting and photos. She bought new glasses specifically for that important moment, and instead had to wear her old, scratched pair. She was miserable on a day that should have been nothing but joy. As a husband, I recommend you take your wives somewhere else. The drama at SEE does not warrant their bougie glasses at high prices. I can only hope our next trip to pick up my wife's glasses is not a repeat of this mess.

I received a second opinion at Vanderbilt Eye Institute after indicating during both of my post operative exams that I had no vision improvement following surgery and a haziness in the operative eye which was not resolving - both doctors I saw (not my original surgeon who was unavailable) told me they could see nothing unusual, and that I should just postpone my second eye a week. I will not have my second eye surgery - my vision is not bad enough to warrant surgery and I'm very upset that Loden Vision seems to push surgery rather than looking at the best needs of patients. Use caution and be fully aware of your condition before undergoing any surgery!!!
