He was quick and impersonal, and spent less than 10 minutes in the room with me. He reduced my prescription despite me saying I couldn't see up close anymore and sent me on my way. No mention of the other issues I am experiencing. On top of that, of course now I cannot see with the contacts the prescribed because he reduced my prescription for some reason. He is very condescending and presumptive. I told him I was a phlebotomist and he said "oh you spend a lot of time on computers then" and insisted k be prescribed the most expensive contacts possible, stating that it would help with blue light and screen time. I didn't know that human arms were considered screens but okay. Will not return and VERY angry that I now have to go someplace else and pay out of pocket for a real exam.

Dear Sir/Madam, I…read morehope this e-mail finds its way to the management of Blacksburg Eye, because it concerns customer dissatisfaction and that's something a prudent business owner would want to be aware of. On October 10 I placed an order for prescription sunglasses with Blacksburg Eye. I ordered them with the intent of taking them to India on October 26. I made that intent clear to the optician with whom I worked. She assured me two weeks was plenty of time for the glasses to arrive, and that she would notate the file with my travel deadline as an additional assurance. As of today, the 25th, the glasses have not arrived and, I'm told, are not expected until after I begin my travels. Frustrating and irritating though that may be, I was prepared with the address in India where the glasses could be shipped. But, I was told that Blacksburg Eye will not pay to ship the glasses and if I could perhaps have someone else pick them up that person might be able to ship them for me. Unacceptable. I would not have ordered the glasses in the first place if the optician had not misrepresented to me that they would be available in time for my trip. To add insult to injury, Blacksburg Eye's subsequent complete failure to take any responsibility or at the very least work to solve a customer's problem that it had contributed directly to, leads me to the conclusion that Blacksburg Eye is not in fact concerned with its customers. I have purchased two pairs of glasses with you in the last 6 months to the tune of about $2,000. I can assure it will be the last money I spend at Blacksburg Eye. I can add to this story that my wife, whom I suggested visit Blacksburg Eye, has had what can only be described as a miserable experience. It took all of 6 frustrating weeks for her glasses to arrive after mistakes were made in ordering the properly sized lenses. She visited the office 3 times to pick up glasses that were not available when she was told they would be. No one called to inform her that they had not arrived. The most frustrating aspect was lack of acknowledgement of the mistakes followed by the lack of service to try to rectify the problems. She told me in no uncertain terms that she will not be returning either. We both understand that the lab preparation and shipping times can be imprecise. But to misrepresent those times, and to accept absolutely no responsibility for the delays--not even a token effort to rectify the bad taste we both have in our mouths--is the hallmark of a business that can afford not to be concerned, or cares not to be concerned with its clientele. I can assure you that is not the sort of business in a small town we're interested in patronizing. Respectfully, MJM & AEM

I am disappointed in the payment/insurance billing process. I was told today that the annual vision…read moreexam would not be charged to my vision insurance plan because it was a "medical" exam - not a vision exam. The purpose of the exam was an annual check-up. I wear contacts. The first contact trial made my vision worse. The second testing was on target. I thought I had paid the bill in full last week but today was told of another $94.00 charge. The front office handled things poorly, when I asked questions. The explanation given was that I was older, and this was the way it was done for older patients. I am 72. I don't have glaucoma. I don't have cataracts. I do have some neurological problems. I declined to speak with Dr. Jacobs at the time because I felt the need to remove myself from the situation. I respect his expertise. However, I will not be returning to this practice because of the billing methods. My husband recently had a good experience. He had his annual vision exam and purchased glasses a for a quarter of my cost using the same vision insurance. His visit was not labeled "medical". He is seven years older than I am. Live and learn.
