The first time I visited, I saw the most beautiful pair of frames I had ever seen. I was leaving for home too soon to get an rx filled, but that lovely pair that never was, still haunts me. This time, I went early in my visit so I would not run out of time. Of course, the lovely pair is long gone, and the others in that line were just not as exceptional as the one I will never forget. Trying on glasses is really fun for me. I do not like the simple blend in type. Bring on the dramatic. This is the perfect place for that. I picked out a really dramatic pair of rx sunglasses which will be ready to pick up before I go home.

They recommended Eyes On You. I did not think my glasses could be saved but I thought I would try. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was lots of super cute styles (and an adorable little dog sleeping on a chair). She was more than happy to fix my glasses even though I wasn't buying glasses from her. She did an amazing job and I can't even tell they were flattened. I highly recommend this business.

I'm also restricted to driving with them and just moved to Fla, so didn't have an eye doctor yet. I chose Eyeglass Maxx Venice based on the excellent reviews online and couldn't be happier. I called ahead to confirm I could get glasses made the same day and wasn't able to arrive before 1:00. From the moment Virginia answered my call until 2 hours later when I walked out the door, I was treated as a valued, longtime customer. I had a coupon I found online, but Jamey gave me options that saved me more money than using the coupon. My glasses were ready in under 90 minutes and I love them! Jamey is knowledgeable, kind, customer service oriented and ensured everything I was "fussy" about was in place. I have not had good experience with same day glasses in the past and shared that with him, but my glasses are as perfect as the ones I've paid quadruple the price for at my eye doctor's office in another state. I am definitely bringing my husband here soon to get his glasses and highly recommend Eyeglass Maxx for value, high quality product and outstanding service.

After checking, they realized I did pay, but never apologized. They also gave me the wrong contacts (someone else's order) and then acted like it was my responsibility to fix it, telling me to bring them back because "she needs them." The staff came off dismissive and made it feel like everything was my fault.Overall, very unprofessional service and no accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place.

I have VSP for me and my husband (who is also on Medicare but no vision insurance. This becomes relevant later on.) My exam was fine, dr was nice and they told me I had the start of a cataract that just needed to be monitored. I pay for the $39 retina scan not covered by insurance that I agreed to. Fast forward to this week and my husband (who has Medicare Part G and is on MY vision insurance) has his exam with the $39 retina scan. He and the dr talked about his dry eyes (that he DOES NOT take any meds for other than OTC stuff). She said she could write a prescription if he wanted her to and he declined. She said he had the start of a cataract and that it needed to be monitored (sound familiar?). Said "he did not need a lens prescription, just use readers". Same exam, same diagnosis as mine. His vision is better than mine as a matter of fact. He gets to the front desk, and they charge him the $39 and then proceeds to tell him he owes $220 because the exam became MEDICAL?!?! Where did it become medical on his when mine wasn't? He argued but finally just gave his debit card to pay (#1 mistake. I would have walked out and said bill me!). They KNEW he had the G plan, so they will be committing Medicare fraud by billing them AND receiving pay from us. I will be filing a complaint on that. Julie didn't bother to return my call, so I had to call them again just to listen to her lie to me again. "He has SEVERE dry eye syndrome (no he doesn't, he rarely uses eye drops anymore), he had a "freckle" in his eye (so what?), he has a cataract that impedes his vision (no he doesn't and if he did why did the dr say he didn't need a prescription or refer him to an ophthalmologist?) They are unscrupulous and I would not do business with them ever again. I will be posting to all social media sites as well and will contact the BBB along with Medicare. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND DO NOT USE THEM!

Sure there are some unique items but most are the same stuff every other gift shop in a beach town sells - if you're wondering why I'm here well I was looking for a refrigerator magnet for the RV documenting our visit to the area. I spent about 10 minutes here and fortunately never reached for my wallet since I never found anything that I couldn't live without - the staff here was scurrying around mostly silent with their heads on a swivel looking for those's with bad intentions I guess - the prices are what you'd expect not outrageous being there is plenty of competition bidding for your dollars close by. I'm sure the margins here are quite good so maybe try doing a little bargaining so you'll feel better about making a purchase that will likely end up in a junk drawer or you're next garage sale...
