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.

I didn't mean to imply that the office could only make it right with a partial refund. What I would really like is for them to acknowledge it was their associate who made the mistake and apologize for trying to convince me it was my fault, I should have known, etc. I want to have a good relationship with this office. When I mentioned a partial refund, it was just the first thing that came to me when the manager asked about making it right (and, as my review shows, the manager just. became more angry about it.) Really I was mostly upset that I was treated by the cashier and manager, who both told me it was my own mistake. At the time I was offered a very insincere apology. I hope will all heads cooler now, they will be willing to extend a sincere one and we can rebuild that relationship. I am not asking for any money, just a sincere apology. If the owner or manager want to offer that or discuss this, I hope they reach out to me.

My wife went in for an eye exam. We are uninsured. We were quoted fees for the exam. When…read morefinished the price was significantly higher than what we were quoted. When we tried to ask for a reasonable explanation, the staff became abusive and impatient with us. There was no reason for the disrespectful treatment. It seems fairly obvious that this office does not want to be bothered with uninsured persons. It is also obvious that the staff is very poorly trained in customer service. Edit-I have spoken to Shelli Wright of Kepler Vision and was treated with respect by the senior staff who promised to address the incident.

UPDATE: After seeing a doctor at Blacksburg Eye, I realized that Infinity Eye Care failed to…read morediagnose a progressive condition (keratoconus). At that time, the keratoconus was advanced enough that I had significant night vision troubles, but Infinity didn't have an answer for that. My previous review was from 2020 but my visit was in 2019, and the keratoconus (corneal thinning) had definitely progressed long enough to be detectable. Had the team at Infinity Eye diagnosed it correctly then, I wouldn't have had it progress further all this time. I'm now starting treatment with scleral lenses and possibly cross-linking. That would stop the progression but not reverse it. If I'd pursued that same treatment in 2019, then I could have stopped the progression. Keratoconus is not the most common eye condition, but a skilled opthamologist should be able to catch it, and it's disturbing that that didn't happen here.
