Went to see Karen at The eyeglass Place in Newington. I needed to update the Rx on my shooting…read moreglasses. Although I had originally purchased them online a few years ago, I decided that I wanted to work with someone local, especially an optician who was familiar with shooters. Karen was GREAT. She took the time to dial in the Rx for both pistol shooting and for skeet/trap shooting. I was even able to bring in my pistol to fine-tune the distance (emptied and safety-checked, of course!) We created interchangeable lenses for the two different disciplines. (I have interchangeable lenses for my dominant right eye: one optimized for pistol shooting, focusing on the front sight, and another optimized for distance while shooting clays. The left eye is optimized for distance in both cases.) And I also got separate lens sets for low/flat light and for bright light conditions. Even better, she was able to use my existing frames (Ranger Edge, https://www.reranger.com/products/edge?variant=32703827607691). I used them for the first time a few nights ago at a pistol class. What a HUGE difference! I actually won the shooting competition that night! I HIGHLY recommend Karen and The Eyeglass Place in Newington, not only for your general eyeglasses but especially if you're a shooter and you want to work with someone who "gets it!"

So, I'd been going to this Eyeglass Place (Newington) for 3+ years and bought my frames, lenses and…read moreeye exams there without issue. Then late last year I brought in two sets of frames I purchased online to have them lens them for me (they were in a style no one was carrying). They took one look at them, tried to remove the clear lenses they shipped with, told me they wouldn't come out and they feared they might damage the frames so they couldn't help with them. I took them home and thought I'd see if I could remove the lenses - they all popped out hassle-free with zero damage. Excited, I called them and explained and they asked me to send them pics - I took the pics and sent them over while they waited. In under a minute they told me they still couldn't help me because the frames were low quality (I bought them on Amazon). I was uneasy about their replies so I went for a 2nd opinion - I stopped in at Harvey & Lewis at Hartford Hospital - I had used them years earlier when I was a high wage earner and needed a lower priced dealer. They took a look at both frames while I explained their lineage. In 5 mins they were fitting me for lenses in both pair. 2 weeks later I was wearing both pair. The story doesn't end there. Fast forward: I called Eyeglass Place to get my eye exam so I could get a new (extra) set of frames with the usual lensing. The day before the exam I rank to an issue and needed to reschedule which they did, somewhat begrudgingly. 2 weeks later, & 2 days before the rescheduled exam my ride had to work so I called again to move it out another week or so. The gal on the phone informed me that this was my 2nd reschedule and that it happened again I'd lose the privilege of booking in advance ever again and would have call in each day to see if they could see me that day. She left me feeling emasculated, like a child being scolded by his mother, so I acted accordingly. I went back to Harvey & Lewis, scheduled an exam and again, my ride got called into work so I rescheduled. While rescheduling, I asked them if there would be any kind penalty if additional rescheduling was required on my part.. The gal on the phone (Madeline) basically told me that life always has unforeseeable issues and that I could reschedule a half dozen times if that was what it took until it was right for me - they'd gladly still be there for me. My buddy (my ride and also a customer at Eyeglass Place, was also involved in this process and as of now, neither of us will be returning to Eyeglass Place. Clearly sometimes you really do get what you pay for. So, as a cautionary tale, if you're planning on going to Eyeglass Place Newington, please note that she's a jealous mistress, if you're not100% loyal to them, be prepared for your treatment will be meted-out proportionate to the extent of your "transgression."

Dr. Melissa Lambright, OD, provided me with probably the best Optometry experience of my life…read more Lets start this with a story. I had recently lost my glasses. After exhaustively looking everywhere I ordered a new pair, but had not yet taken delivery of them, when it was time to travel to my parents house for the Christmas holiday. So, I did what I usually do. I traveled only with the contacts I had in my eyes. Lo and behold, I ripped one of my contacts while taking them out on Christmas day. I have a very strong prescription (-6.75) so there was no way I was able to drive back home to the Boston area without having corrected vision. On Dec 26th I must have called every single Optometrist, Eye Center, Walmart Eye store, etc. in the greater Hartford area, to find out that they were either closed, unable or unwilling to help. I had thought it would be easy to just buy a box from someone as I had my prescription in my car (lucky break) but no such luck. On the off chance of success and in desperation I left a message on Sight, LLC's voicemail. Little did I know but this paged Dr. Lambright on her own holiday travels in the Midwest and she called me back. Not only did she arrange for her employees in her store to give me a sample contact lens, but she did it for no charge. I am obviously very grateful to her, and I can't help but recommend her services. If her regular customer service is anywhere near as good as my experience, Sight LLC is definitely worth your visit when you look for new contacts or glasses.

Before scheduling my exam, I specifically asked whether FSA payments were accepted and was told…read moreyes. After completing my exam and ordering glasses, my WEX FSA card was declined. WEX later advised me that the transaction was rejected because of the expense/merchant coding used by the provider. When I contacted the office after calling 3 times, I was told that other customers had experienced similar issues, but no accommodation or solution was offered. Because I could not use my FSA funds as expected, I was forced to cancel my eyeglasses order. I found the experience disappointing and frustrating. Now my insurance has been billed for the eye exam and I have to go find another optical shop that knows how to submit FSA payments. I should not have to pay out of pocket because they have known about this issue and basically lied and said they could handle FSA expenses when they obviously cannot.

My gripe is that I was waiting for a phone call or notification that my new glasses were ready for pickup. Apparently they use an automated system to send a text message that I never received.

He said sometimes they have issues with the automated system but confirmed they wouldn't have made a call out for me to pick up my glasses. Not the best customer service in my opinion.
