After having a negative experience with an eye doctor at one of the large chains, I asked my…read morefriends which optomitrist they would recommend in the Syracuse area. Krzyzak Eyecare was recommended more than anyone else, so I decided to give them a try, and I'm very happy that I did. It did take a few months to get in there initially, so if you are reading this and thinking about schedueling an appointment, plan accordingly. While I usually hate waiting, I considered this to be a good sign that people are happy here and that I was making a good choice. For my exam, I met with Dr. Michael Krzyzak, who I felt was very personable and did an excellent job explaining what he was doing and what the best options were for my situation. After the exam I met with the absolutely wonderful Alicia, who helped me pick out my new frames and was very thorough in making sure that she had the perfect measurements for my new progressive lenses. When someone knows what they are doing like she did, it adds a whole new level of value to buying your glasses in house, rather than online. And when I came back to pick up my new glasses, she made me feel like a VIP even though I am new to the practice. The whole experience was everything that I could have asked for and I'm so grateful to have found an eyecare team that I have complete confidence in and will now stick with.

I have been here twice. The first visit was with Dr Wells and the second with Michael Krzyzak. Both…read morevisits were a great experience. Both doctors took the time to explain things so that I understood my eyes, issues, etc... versus my prior eye doctor who would say, "you have astigmatism". With no further explanation. I appreciated the time spent with me and taken to confirm that I had no further questions. I did not feel rushed at any time. The optician who assisted with my contacts was also very nice and patient - if you haven't worn contacts, what a task learning to put them in and out! You've been warned! She was encouraging and never made me feel rushed. They've got a new patient to add to their roster and I would encourage anyone I know to go there too.

He was very knowledgeable and took me through each pretest calmly and thoroughly. I then got to see the doctor after a series of tests on my eyes.

At the end, I met with a technician named Dawn who explained my options for eyewear and gave me my updated prescription. This is, by far, probably the best optometrist and business in the Syracuse area! - Dr. Debbie Anderson

I was referred to Clarity Eye care by a colleague at work when I first moved to Ithaca and was…read morelooking for a new optometrist. Dr. Bryant and his team are true professionals. They are personable, reliable and pay close attention to detail. Their facility is well maintained, up to date and extremely welcoming. I personally fear the dreaded "burst of air" test and at Clarity, it is always easy peasy. I renewed my contacts prescription here. This is one of the few places that permit you to try on different brands prior to ordering a few months' worth of prescription. This is in exchange for a fee, but you can try on as many different types as you would like to ensure the fit is right. Dr. Bryant is patient, kind and very attentive during meetings. I also picked up a pair of glasses here and their selection is wonderful. They carry many styles and brands - everything from environmentally conscious brands to celebrity name brands. I highly recommend Clarity Eye Care and will be sticking around with them for a while.

Anyone who knows me, knows I have an intense fear of the eye doctor, as I simply cannot stand the idea of anyone putting anything in or near my eye. Enter a whole lot of anxiety.... I saw a commercial for Malara Eye Care, but also was given positive reviews by a few friends, so I figured I would try it out. As a new patient, they were able to schedule an appointment very quickly, and when I arrived for my first appointment, they were all very welcoming and kind. My wait was very brief, and Dr. Malara was thorough in his exam, as was his staff. They noted my anxiety and assured me that I would not deal with that "puff of air" or any eye drops, and gave me an alternative option to having my eyes dilated. WIN!!!!! I left with 20/50 vision, new contacts and a new set of glasses, but most importantly, I have no fears about the next time I will have to go back.
