Liz R.

I had an unexpected eye emergency and needed to see a doctor ASAP! Doctor Son and Tyson's Eye was a top rated option location in the Tysons Corner Mall that was able to fit me in at the end of the day. The COVID precautions / cleaning taken put me at ease in addition to the level of care and detail that the doctor and his assistants provided. I left my appointment feeling assured that I was in good hands with a proper diagnosis and have found my new eye doctor in VA!

(4.5 stars) Dr. Son explained every step. The front desk experience was pretty smooth and could place an order for new lenses next door.

He is the worst! All he cares about is money and charging people. I went into get an eye exam and…read morehe told me I couldn't get one..and then wanted to charge me money for just looking at my eye. After I questioned what i was paying for, you said I can't get an exam, that is what I came for, he screamed "JUST GET OUT OF HERE". Months later, I try to get an eye exam done through another Dr, and I find out that he claimed money from my insurance saying he did an eye exam and contact fitting, when in fact it was not done. He made up a false report of my prescription number and said he did a contact fitting to my insurance company. MOST UNETHICAL DOCTOR! Has no respect for his patients or even the insurance companies. On top of that the assistant is always really rude. You call her and she constantly puts you on hold and is very rude. He seems as if he is always in a rush and just in there to make a quick buck. I highly advise you visit the Sterling Optical at Fair Oaks. I only stopped in here to see the asian doctor I usually go to, and when saw him I thought whatever, BIG MISTAKE! He was the worst, save your self and insurance company some time. He will try to find a way to overcharge! POOR EXCUSE OF A DOCTOR!

The best doctor that has ever taken care of me. This review is long overdue…read more Sadly I don't live in the area anymore and am paying the price when it comes to my yearly eye exams. For over 10 years, Dr. Davidson has thoroughly and comprehensively examined my eyes and vision. It is never routine with him and he makes sure that any and all issues are addressed--never rushing. He has a very warm demeanor and it shows that he cares. Unlike the other reviewer, I've never seen the office in disarray in my over 10 years there. I only have one low point to mention, and that was when he told me I shouldn't box anymore due to my over-stretched retina. I hope to visit him again when I'm back east. Addendum - Wow, I just read the one filtered review. Sounds BOGUS to me. In over TEN years there I've never experienced a bad receptionist, dirty office, an angry Dr. Davidson (??), pressure to use Sterling, or hidden charges. I actually have to have additional testing done due to high pressure in my eyes and he always gives me the option, along with the full information that I need. Thank you, I rest my case.

I went here during a very busy afternoon on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The mall was packed and…read moreWarby Parker was doing some solid business as well. I didn't buy anything. I just had a 4-year old (ancient in eyeglasses years btw) pair of Warby Parker wide-sized eyeglasses called the Aubrey that I needed some work done on. I was greeted by a friendly lady whose name, sadly, I did not get despite the fact that she was so cool about bantering and making friendly chit chat. She also wore eyeglasses but other than that I'm sad that I can't be more specific. I told her that I needed some work done on my Aubrey and she proceeded to check me in. I was especially appreciative of her patience while I tried to figure out which one of my many email addresses was associated with the store. So anyway, she checked me in and then I just chilled on one of the benches with my mom for a short wait until Adam fetched me. He was super friendly and also down for chit chatting. I especially appreciated how cool he was with my awkwardly hilarious squinting at him and everyone and everything else while he worked on my eyeglasses -- yeah, my vision is unhinged. Lol. Anyway, this particular Warby Parker store had a great, welcoming vibe. I love the concept of checking in the customers and I love that there are benches where you can relax while waiting. Warby Parker is super modern in the way they do eyeglass retail. Love.

Usually eyeglass stores are like car dealers, where you have to fight them off with a stick - but…read morethe employees at this store didn't even greet us, let alone offer any kind of assistance as my sister & I walked around trying on frames. And the store was basically empty, so they were literally just standing in the middle staring at their phones. I asked one lady a question, and she did answer it. But that was that. Not even a follow-up "do you need anything else?" We left after maybe 15 minutes of looking around, and they didn't even say goodbye. Weird. ‍

I am writing this review with 2 days post op and with my new 20/15 vision! I had been looking to…read moreget LASIK for the past year and decided that this would the perfect time due to being able to work from home. A few things attracted me to EDOW: the convenient location (in Tyson's), the latest LASIK technology, the experienced doctors, transparent website with all the forms, risks, videos, etc. and it not being a massive chain. There was also a $1000 off promotion for PRK and Custom LASIK when I scheduled. I like that each LASIK procedure included a customized eye mapping to prevent some of the negative side effects (halos, glare, etc.) which I learned is not standard for all practices. The whole process was seamless from the initial free consultation that I was able to schedule for the following day to the post operative appointments. The initial consultation included a standard eye exam, cornea mapping, vision evaluation and eye health exam. Jon was extremely helpful in answering questions and explaining each step. My eyes were healthy and my corneas were thick enough so I was approved! I was able to schedule the pre-op, LASIK surgery and post-op immediately after the appointment. For the next two weeks, the tech instructed me to wear my glasses to allow my eyes to return to its natural shape. All the appointments are confirmed online which is very easy. The pre-op only took about 45 minutes. This is when my eyes were dilated, mapped, and the "true" prescription was assessed for the surgery. They also ordered my prescriptions through Friendly's Pharmacy for delivery to my home. The antibiotic and corticosteroid drops were delivered the following day. All very easy! The actual surgery day was about 2 weeks later at 2pm on a Thursday. I was in and out within 35 minutes! In the first room, Jon administered a bunch of drops (numbing, antibiotics, others) and also gave me a Valium. They also gave me glasses, eye shields, post care instructions and some lubricating drops for home. A few minutes later I walked to the LASIK suite where I laid down for the procedure. Dr. Kang explained each step and the expected feelings and sounds so I was completely at ease. I never felt any pain whatsoever. The first machine applied some pressure my eyes one at a time, my vision went temporarily blurry and then I was moved to the next machine to reshape the cornea. I focused on the green light and noticed the slight burning smell. But felt I absolutely no pain or discomfort at this point. The whole procedure lasted maybe 5-7 minutes. I then went a another room where Dr. Kang evaluated my eyes. I was then sent on my way! My vision was already was about the same as when I wore glasses just sensitive to light and a bit hazy. The first 2 hours were probably the most uncomfortable since my eyes felt heavy from the drops and I felt a bit dizzy. I napped with my face mask and new eye shield since my eyes just felt sensitive and tired. Two hours later I felt like a completely different person. I did wear sunglasses inside to avid glare and diligently began my eye drop regime. I was able to watch TV and that night without an issue. The following day was magical as I woke up with better vision than I had with contacts. I had very little dryness and none of the halos/glare/redness people talk about. That morning, I drove myself to for the post op where the optometrist said I had 20/15 and with almost no inflammation or discomfort. I even ran that afternoon. I would HIGHLY recommend this practice if considering LASIK. Everyone was extremely professional, knowledgeable and skilled. I attribute my speedy recovery and excellent results to them. Just remember those drops!!

On May 11, I saw my regular eye doctor to get an updated prescription for my glasses. Instead of…read moreupdating my prescription, she referred me to Eye Doctors of Washington because of supposed scarring on my eyes. The earliest appointment I could get was on June 23, almost a month and a half away. To make it worse, although I live in Tysons Corner, I could only get an appointment in their inconvenient (to me) Chevy Chase office instead of their Tysons office. At the appointment, instead of updating my prescription, the doctor prescribed medications for supposed problems that have never been diagnosed before. I now have to go back to that inconvenient office on August 31, which means I'm stuck with my outdated prescription until at least sometime in September -- unless they come up with another excuse to delay things even further. From first doctor appointment, it is going to take at least four months to get glasses with a current prescription. That kind of delay is entirely una.

Dr. Kraft is such a caring and kind person, he explained his findings throughout my exam, I had no questions at all. That's how thorough he is!. His office also offers the additional option for the digital retinal scan, Dr. Kraft went over the details of the scans, you can tell he really enjoy's what he does!. Jennifer Z. the retail supervisor spent time with me after my exam, I wanted to use my existing frames and that was fine with her, meaning she wasn't trying a make a sale nor was she pushy in an attempt to deter me from reusing them as had been my experience in the past with my previous Dr's office.

I recently (December 30, 2025) ordered a new pair of glasses through their insurance program as my current set was damaged. They said 2 to 3 weeks. Historically, they would deliver glasses in around a week to 10 days. Have been checking in since January 15 and have been told probably 10 times my glasses would be ready in 3 to 5 days. It is now February 5, 2026, and I was told today that my glasses weren't ordered until January 24 and they likely won't be ready until the week of February 16. The employees are nice but clueless. How can you say an order will be ready in 3 to 5 days for weeks and then tell me on February 5 that the glasses weren't actually ordered until January 24. All while I had spoken with them multiple times and was continually told the 3 to 5 days line? Meanwhile I am running around like a Cyclops with basically one good lens in my glasses. At least I am providing entertainment for my wife. I will be taking my future business elsewhere.

Today, 4/23/26, I went in to waste time before my eye exam and peruse through the selection of new frames. I generally spend $2-3k a year on frames. When I walked in, no one greeted me or even acknowledged I was in the store. That was a first. Generally at this location everyone is friendly and helpful. Both workers were engaged in non-work conversation. My daughter and I overheard them speaking. There was no way they could have missed us. We were the only ones in the store. As we worked our way down trying on various frames, another Caucasian lady barely crossed the threshold into the store when one of the workers broke their conversation, and while walking briskly past us, screamed across the store, ' Ma'am, may I help you??'' I looked at my daughter and remarked to her that we'd been in the store for 5 minutes and no one even acknowledged we were there. I wondered if this was a racial issue. As the worker and the woman made their way closer to where my daughter and I continued to try on frames, the worked said, 'Could you move? I'm trying to show her something.' I said, 'Excuse me??' He responded, ' Move so I can show her something.' I said, ' Are you asking me to step aside??' He just waved his hand at me to move. At that moment, my daughter and I were convinced we were being treated poorly bc we're black. My daughter and I walked to the counter to find a manager bc that type of behavior will not be tolerated. A man walked from behind the glass and said, ' What do you need?' I asked him if he was the manager. He kind of agreed that he was kind of the manager. I explained to him what just happened and told him, and the other worker who had by then walked over, that his behavior was rude, dismissive and disrespectful. The worker half heartedly apologized and the so called manager said he would talk to him. I have no doubt the whole ordeal was forgotten the minute we walked out. I'd like to think LensCrafters is better than this. What I can say is that training is in order. I was absolutely livid and in all likelihood will never step foot in this location again. They absolutely do not deserve my business.
