My situation is different as I must get my eyes dilated once a year. The associate was pretty good w me and after I picked my two sets of frames for the BOGO offer I was first quoted the price for the package. I told him that was way beyond my budget. He then gave me what I needed like anti glare etc. it was about 275. Still about 25 over budget but doable. They said about ten days. It was a day or two after that when I called. The assistant mgr Stephanie took ownership and it appears they were cracked in shipping. They offered me a loaner pair but I just chose to wait and the new pairs arrived quickly. I like the frames and see better. Still a great deal even though I didn't get a free exam like my wife.

Dr Virden took the time to listen to my concerns about contact lenses and recommend a brand that would meet my needs. I used to only be able to wear my contacts for 5-6 hours before my eyes got irritated, but after trying the ones she and her contacts specialist recommended I can comfortably wear my contacts all day. I also got glasses from Dr Virden's office and when they came in I was having trouble adjusting to them, everything seemed distorted in one eye. The people in her office went above and beyond sending my lenses back to be remade, and even letting me switch my frame to ones more similar to my old glasses in case the shape of the lens was the issue. Never once did they make me feel bad about it, or make me feel like I was causing trouble for them. They were always gracious and kind and in the end I ended up with lenses that work perfectly and frames that I love. I also have a toddler and strabismus runs in my family so I was concerned about my child's vision. I brought this up to Dr Virden during my appointment and she let me know about a program that allowed me to get a free screening for my child! I would never have known about that had she not told me. When I brought my daughter in Dr Virden was so good with her and even though she was squirmy Dr Virden was able to do the screening and gave me advice on what to look out for going forward. I just cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr Virden and her staff are! We recently had to change our vision insurance and are no longer able to see Dr Virden and I am so disappointed because she really is the best!

These guys shouldn't be allowed to be in business. I'm going to start with the worst part, but if I…read morehave space, I'll go through the rest of it afterward. So they screwed up my prescription. While it was correct on the machine, Dr. Sanders wrote it down incorrectly. That part alone is fine; we're all human. But a business who acts with integrity would hear that and say "Oh no, please come back in so we can correct the issue." This business? Their response was "you didn't buy your glasses from us, so we'll have to charge you." To be clear: I have my prescription from a few years ago. All you need to do is look at it to see that the one from Waco Vision Source is incorrect...but I made the mistake of not looking until after I'd ordered glasses (from somewhere that didn't want to charge me $600 just for lenses), because foolish me trusted what they'd written down. I'm STILL disgusted by their behavior, even a few weeks later. It would've taken 5 minutes tops for them to fix the problem. Again, all they'd have needed to do is compare the new prescription to the old. But they're so prideful and money-hungry that they would rather blame me for not buying from them, instead of admitting that they could have POSSIBLY made a transcription error. I had to go to another business just to fix THEIR mistake, because it would've been a cold day before I handed them another penny. And guess what! The second place got it right AND told me I could come back if I found an error, and they wouldn't charge! That's how you act with integrity. The other negative reviews I'm reading are spot on to what happened to me. The whole appointment is an experience in brand partnerships, which is just gross. You walk in and they make you scan a QR code, which leads you to a questionnaire that's tied in to some brand they've partnered with. After they rush you through the usual tests, they strap a VR HEADSET on your head and make you do some other gimmicky "test"...and surprise! That's also tied in with another brand! I guess they haven't found a brand to partner with for the peripheral and color blindness tests, because those are still done the normal way. Both tech and doctor rush you through the appointment. Before you even have a chance to ask any questions, the doctor calls in her little boutique saleswoman, who escorts you out to the sales floor. At this point, you're shamed and pressured into buying from them. "You get what you pay for!" they keep trying to tell you, at even the merest whiff of a suggestion that you'll be buying elsewhere. Their frames are all $180 minimum, but MOST of them are in the $200+ range. They make you look at those under the guise of inputting your insurance information. And then they wanted to charge me $600 for just the lenses. Yes, I'm now in range for getting progressive lenses, so they're more expensive. But these chuckleheads thought they were going to pressure me to dive straight in for the highest cost they had. You should have heard the sheer reluctance in her voice when she finally had to admit they had something less expensive. This entire experience was a branding partnership under the guise of an eye exam. The fact that they won't give you the time of day if you don't buy from them is DISGUSTING. I cannot emphasize enough how much it is NOT THEIR BUSINESS who you buy glasses from. You're there to get an exam. You're not there for their shiny gimmicks. I don't care how many kick-backs they get; that's a 'them' problem, not an 'us' problem. Seriously, pick another place. I can only imagine the 5 star reviews are either paid or are friends of the staff there...or don't care about money. I've NEVER not bought glasses from the same place as my exam until I came here, and I've also never been this disgusted with a business before.
