Since I respect his opinions I went in to their Eastgate Mall optometry inside Lenscrafters and really enjoyed my whole eye care experience. They were friendly and professional and after going through a painless eye exam I was given an overall outlook about the health of my eyes as well as getting some great advice on which eyeglasses would fit me best. They have a very nice clinic and the atmosphere there is great, really friendly and courteous. Their prices are reasonable and I got out with 2 pairs of eyeglasses instead of one. I recommend these optometrists, just like my friend, to anyone in the Cincinnati area.

This is a locally, independently operated business and that truly shows. From the moment I called to inquire about an appointment I was very impressed with the staff. The receptionists were so very helpful, and they even had me speak with a technician to troubleshoot how emergent my issue was. They got me an appointment in a timely manner. On the day of my visit every one in the practice was wonderful. I was very impressed with Dr Howard! He took a reasonable yet efficient amount of time and had great "bedside" manner. Wait time prior to appointment was also reasonable. Now that I have visited here I wouldn't go anywhere else!

She came out and I told her the problem and her and the woman adjusting the glasses both recommend that I wear the glasses for a little while and let them know if I still have the problem with the prescription. 3 week later I still have the problem, now she wants me to pay another $10 to re-examine the left eye. So now I will have to drive 200 miles round trip to get the problem corrected. So I am very disappointed with her at Eyemart in Cincinnati

At 6:30 I was called back for my exam. The first doctor came on screen and decided she wasn't going to conduct the exam because they didn't do a lensometry on my glasses, even though my primary correction is with contact lenses. The second doctor came on screen, 10 minutes later, and didn't care about the lensometry. My wife had an appointment for an eye exam at 5:30pm on 2/4/2026. She was finally called into the exam room at 6:50pm, only to come out 5 minutes later because all the doctors had signed out. You read that right; there was a patient in the queue and all the doctor's signed out of the system know there was a patient in the queue. Imagine if you went to a doctor's office, sat in the waiting room for them for over an hour only to have someone come out and tell you the doctor had already gone home for the day 10 minutes earlier, which is pretty much what happened here, only virtually. Their solution was to have my wife drive to the Mason location today, 2/5, for an exam as they didn't have any availability at the Eastgate location today. Never going back.
