I got glasses and within 1 month both arms broke in the same place. When I got them, I was told…read morethere was a 1 year warranty, however they wanted to charge me 35 dollars to replace what was obviously a defective frame. Never in my 55 years of wearing glasses have I had a pair of glasses last less than one month. This company does not stand behind their products. Do not recommend. Will NEVER GO BACK. Was told they are independent and owner charges this fee for shipping new frames. However it is my feeling that the frames had to be defective as they broke in same exact place. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE.

After several experiences over the course of the week were staff violated my HIPPA rights - notably when one receptionist grabbed the phone from another, stated my name and said she was ending the call (direct HIPPA violation) and hung up on me, I'm now tasked with tedious ethical obligations. It's important to note I deal with two large Doctors offices weekly - for many years, including getting prior authorizations - for a serious internal injury. The staff openly talk about patients. Dr. Roth engaged in office gossip, then based off that decided to call and attempt to degrade and threaten me. They're all rather stupid not to realize everyone has the ability to record things, and as a communication professional, I was so disturbed after my first contact I knew to protect myself. The slander he slung hurt him grossly as it is all contradicted by the conversation I had earlier in the day with Casey (who is highly manipulative and exhibits deep psychosis/lack of empathy comparable to seri@l k!llrs). He didn't even take the time to collect information before the call, not aware his threat meant nothing and me answering was giving him the shovel. He talks real loud.

The lady that helped me took me thru the complex dealing with the insurance. At first I was very…read moreconfused what was payed for by insurance. She was very helpful and even texted me to make sure I had full understanding of what I was getting. I got a great deal on two pairs of glasses. I think they get a bad deal on reviews because it's a primary outlet for a huge insurance company. My experience there was a nice, fast and easy time. They do a decent job and try to help you in every facet. I'm very satisfied and will be going back.

We've been using Empire Visonworks for years. But I think we've just given them our last business…read more Our kids wanted contacts and we went and got them fitted. Only to find out they didn't have their prescription and furthermore, it wasn't just the usual go in and try to put them in and out a few times before your head out with samples. They had to be scheduled for a "class" that was an extra charge and had to be one on one and couldn't be setup until after their contacts arrive. When we asked if there was a work around, as my wife and I have been wearing contacts since middle school, we were told it is NYS law. There is no such law. So now it's been 4 weeks and after calling and calling, someone finally called to setup a class. We weren't given an option of times, just told these WERE our times. And even though it's our two kids getting contacts together, they still require two separate appointments. And then they will have to go back a week later, if they "pass", to verify before we can order contacts. What a hassle. Our neighbors went to another group, and it was just like it was in the good old days of sanity. Goto first appointment. And at that first appointment you will: Determine your prescription, Try on that prescription of contacts, take samples home, and setup a follow up for one week to make sure everything is good to go before finalized prescription and ordering contacts. Two appointments and one week. Compare that to empire visionworks, 3 appointments, and you don't get to pick a convenient time for the "class" appointment, and who knows how long it will take. Ours will be about 6 weeks before we can even order the contacts our kids need. If you are trying contacts for the first time, go elsewhere.

Dr. Ebbing has been a fantastic help to me. I was seeing him a lot and he is always so patient and kind. He tried several procedures on my eyes and if something didn't work, he would offer another treatment. All the treatments I had gave me some relief but the most recent, Serum Tears, has given the most relief and, as of this morning, I'm now wearing contact lenses for the first time in several years. Thanks to Dr. Ebbing, who never gave up on helping me reach my goal, I am doing so much better!

(Non)-review for optical shop only…read more I'll never know whether they're any good or not, since: I called ahead to determine the hours, was told they were open such and such hours, showed up during such and such hours, and was treated to a closed shop with a sign saying "back at 2 PM", presumably for lunch. That this was not the only optical shop where they failed to mention lunch hours is sort of beside the point, although I'm taking out my frustration here because I had specifically mentioned the hour when I was going to come by and the phone answerer didn't correct me. I suspect this is endemic to places where there's an ophthalmological practice associated with the optical shop, that is on somewhat different hours to the optician - I surmise the reception and the optical shop folks aren't necessarily on the same page. So I'm just sadder and wiser and not angry at this point. You are similarly cautioned that calling ahead doesn't necessarily do you any good. And, seriously, this was the *fourth* place this happened to me, where they weren't there during the hours they purported to be there, so clearly this is a "feature" of small optical shops. I only mention it this time since I made a special trip after explicitly asking "will the shop be open such and such hours".

My five year old needed to see an ophthalmologist. A friend of mine who has a five year old with…read moreglasses referred this office. I called on a Tuesday and got an appointment for the following day. We arrived ten minutes prior to our appointment. When I gave my daughter's name they said, "Oh, the doctor had an emergency and is running a little late. If you want to fill out the paperwork and wait." I asked how long. They said he'd been there in about 45-60 minutes. WHAT? Then they told me I could come back if that was easier. I looked at them, not knowing what to say. They said they tried to call but my phone number was wrong. They tied the white pages but I wasn't there. I decided that these things happen and filled out the new patient paperwork. After the last sheet, was someone else's completed forms. Yeah - you know - the ones that have their name, SSN, and whatnot. I left with my three kids unsure what to think. I went home and put my name and zip code into whitepages.com. My number popped right up. I called them, telling them I'm in the white pages. They said they didn't have my name, only my daughter's. What? I then found out his emergency was a burst pipe at his house. Nothing medical or whatnot. So...he can cancel on patients, no one like a spouse can handle a burst pipe at 1:30pm in the afternoon and no other doctor could see my kid? And...the staff is too incompetent to take information correctly or remove prior patients forms from a clipboard. Not the kind of place I want to do business with. *sigh*
