Of course they do try to upsell you on their fancier eye exam services that are not covered by insurance. The exam was quick and I was able to get my prescription. It was my first time wearing glasses! I was planning on just heading out, but they are smart and pass you right off to a glasses sales person as soon as you exit the exam room. My sales person was Jose and he did an awesome job. Since I've never worn glasses before I had no idea what I was looking for. Based on my face shape he was able to suggest some great options and gave me honest feedback as I was trying them on. I was able to find a pair of glasses and sunglasses. Of course there is the second phase of the upsell for insurance, blue light, glare, etc. But, I went for all of the above, I'm prone to breaking things so the insurance seemed like a good idea. I recently went in for another pair of glasses and experienced wonderful service again. I had sat on my sunglasses and they were able to quickly bend the frame back into place for me while I shopped around. Overall this spot is convenient with friendly staff!

I was long overdue for an eye exam and I finally got around to it this weekend. I decided to try…read moreCarolina Optometry Associates because of its convenient location. Living only a couple of miles down the road, I frequent the Costco almost weekly and figured I could get my eye exam done and go next door to pick out glasses! Though it's in the same building as Costco, it is a separate entity with its own entrance and does not require Costco membership. I called to make an appointment and got a time for a Saturday morning a couple of weeks later. They open at 9:30am and I arrived early per usual. Tracy, the receptionist, came a few minutes before opening time and let me wait inside while they got ready for the day. Melissa was the optometrist who gave me my exam. My vision has been stable since my last exam and she told me that there is no need for me to get a new pair of glasses. I appreciated her honesty not that matter and how friendly and welcoming Tracy and Melissa both were. I'd definitely consider COA for my next eye exam and recommend everyone to do so!

They wrote me ahead of the visit about insurance. The form said Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I updated…read moreit to Vision Service Plan online, but when I got there they said my form said that I put in Blue Cross/Blue Shield. But I am 100% sure I put in Vision Service Plan. So their form doesn't populate right. And they called me a liar. But here's the kicker: Even if they took Blue Cross/BS, the lady at the desk told me it doesn't cover routine visits. They wrote me about needing to visit, but even BC/BS doesn't cover the visit. How absolutely stupid is that? So I basically wasted time 1) setting the appointment; 2) filling out a useless form; and 3) driving to Costco in the rain during the middle of the busiest time of year. I guess they get so many customers through Costco that they don't care.

On February 5, 2026, at approximately 11:27 a.m., I contacted this establishment to inquire whether…read morethe office accepted patients diagnosed with keratoconus who require hard contact lenses. I initially spoke with a receptionist who indicated she was unsure and transferred me to an optometrist. Unfortunately, I did not obtain his name. During the conversation, the optometrist stated that he had only seen keratoconus "once," and further remarked that this was because "the zip codes of the patients he sees are generally healthy." Keratoconus is a well-documented, progressive eye disorder in which the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, resulting in distorted vision and significant astigmatism. It typically begins in adolescence or early adulthood and progresses over many years before stabilizing. The optometrist's statement was factually inaccurate and implied a socioeconomic or geographic bias regarding patient health, which I found to be unprofessional and inappropriate for a healthcare provider. Healthcare professionals are expected to communicate respectfully and without bias. The comment made during this call was dismissive of a legitimate medical condition and should raise concerns about the quality of care and professionalism patients may encounter at this practice.

After my last visit, I decided that I would take my daughter to another location to look for new glasses. We first went to the Crabtree location and Victoria was awesome and helpful; however, there was not a lot of inventory there for my teen :). Beautiful store, just smaller :). We then went to the Six Forks location and I will always be a patient there moving forward. The manager was extremely accommodating and Stephen ( who helped us) was awesome! Stephen took his time with us on two separate days. He was honest with feedback, fast and efficient. I should repeat that, "Fast and efficient." I cannot say how much I appreciate a place that is on top of things along with offering incredible customer service. This location has it, and I know It is a rare find these days. My family and I will definitely continue going to this location in the future. My past location was only a 5 minute drive; however, it is definitely worth it to me to drive the extra 20 minutes to this practice!
