I visited Capital Eye Consultants when my wife had an appointment with them and decided to make an…read moreappointment for my own because she was happy with their medical services. This was on 12/11/24, but I made the appointment far in the future (for 3/12/25) because had a plan to travel overseas in January or February. As you may guess I lost the track of the appointment until 2 days ago (on 4/20/25) when I received a bill from them charging me $40 for No Show fee. I called the CEC and told them that while I blame myself for not keeping a good record of the appointment, I see some faults of your own because you did not contact me about it. The lady answering my call told me their computer report shows they've sent me 2 text messages, respectively one week and 24 hours before the appointment. So I checked my text messages and couldn't find a trace of them. I called back and said that "look, I really want to renew my appointment because need some evaluation of my eyes." The lady put me on hold and consulted the issue with her supervisor and their accountant and the final answer was that, "OK, you can make another appointment but after you pay this $40." I thanked the lady and hung up but then I thought this is unfair because I really didn't have any reason to lie about the text messages. If I didn't want to show up to the appointment and had received only one of the messages, I could've called them and cancel it instead of not showing up and spending more time calling them twice. The fact is that the time spent on the phone is not considered much comparing with 90 minutes that I spent to file a complaint with the Commonwealth Of Virginia, Department Of Health Professions and now writing this lengthy review on YELP.

Very bizarre experience with this shady practice. I purchased a new pair of Oakley glasses frames…read moreonline and dropped them off at Modern Optometry to have lens created and inserted into the frames. I paid over $300 for this process. Two weeks later, I received a phone call informing me that their lab BROKE the glasses frames. I asked how to remedy the situation and was informed that they were not responsible for the broken frames because I signed a waiver. Huh? So, essentially, I was out of luck and out of a new pair of beautiful glasses frames. The sales person (Amanda?) said she would email pictures of the broken frames. Two weeks went by and still no pictures. I called again and spoke to this sales person, and she informed me (in a very awkward manner) that she received "undeliverable" messages from my email address (which I've had for over 10 years.) So, I asked her to email the pictures to my work email address...and to this day, still NO pictures. She ended up refunding me the $300 for lens insertion. However, I am out a pair of new glasses frames without any real proof they were broken. What happened to my glasses frames? Did they lose them? Did somebody steal them? Totally unacceptable, and very shady business practices. I would not recommend this store.

This place is awful. My wife is a customer here (or WAS) and recommended I make an appointment for…read moreone of our younger kids who wants to make the leap to contact lenses. The first sketchy element is that the link my wife kept sending me kept taking me to a google search with an alternate name. It appears that they do business under two different names which is kind of shady. But the big problem is that when you try to schedule an appointment on their website, it asks you to choose three different times. This is really bad because in this area many people have jobs and families and you can't just bank on some random time MAYBE being available. So I tried to call in the morning and nobody answered. I tried to call again in the afternoon after I made the appointment and again nobody answered. This was for an appointment the next day. I got two auto-texts saying "sorry we missed your call" so I replied to the texts saying I have a job and four kids and I can't be left hanging on these appointments, and this is a bad first impression after my wife recommended this place. I get a call back FIVE minutes after that text from a someone sounding like a sorority chick who just got dumped by her boyfriend. Huge attitude immediately. She's like "Those are just APPOINTMENT REQUESTS, SIR! We have ONE appointment at 7:45am tomorrow." Okay, well the appointments I thought I signed up for were 2:15, 2:30, and 2:45. So I calmly asked why the website listed 12 appointments for tomorrow and 18 for the next day if none of those were really available. And she just kept replying to everything I said by getting increasingly loud and obnoxious so I finally said, "well I guess I will go to another practice then," and before I could even say thanks and bye, she hung up on me. After this conversation, a lot of stuff is even weirder as I think about it. If the appointments are "just requests," then why were there "no requests" listed today, "12 requests" tomorrow, and "18 requests" the next day? That's totally nonsensical because if nothing is guaranteed then why list ANY times that are definitely not available??? And if you're going to list some times, why not list them all? Still the worst is just the rudeness. If your instant response to someone texting that you made a bad first impression but TRYING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION BY SETTING A FIRM APPOINTMENT is to call them back in a haughty tone, then perhaps you should not be employed in customer service. Or, maybe the front desk person was out today and I was called by a doctor. But that just makes things even worse. Anyway, imagine potentially gaining 5 new customers (the rest of my family) and instead losing one (my wife) with just one phone call! Amazing. Anyway btw I got an appointment at MyEyeDr in the Boro same day today and they were actually nice...

If I didn't pay for it, "...then we might have to dilate your eyes..." to continue the exam. I didn't appreciate the implication that I "might" require my eyes to be dilated...but that if I paid an extra $39 then I wouldn't. Doubt I'll be going back there. And it's unfortunate because I've been going there for years without this exam. Anything to make more money I guess.

Ok, so this is going to be a long review, but totally worth reading if you have horrible eyesight…read morelike I did. I had horrible, horrible eyesight & if you're telling yourself you do too, wait till you hear my old prescription. 'cause I had to live over 10+ years with this degree listening to people with -1 or even -.5 tell me how bad their vision was. cue rolling eyes. I was a -11 & -12 in my left & right eye respectively. Now you can gasp & go, "holy sh*t". that's right. I was pretty much blind. If I didn't have glasses or contacts in, my whole world was one giant blurry mess. I couldn't make out distinctive items & I sure as hell couldn't identify a human being from one another. Funny enough, I never looked into laser eye surgery because I didn't know if I qualified. I originally went to TLC laser eye surgery (where they wasted my time and told me I would not qualify for laser eye surgery due to my high degree). So, I had to call around & actually ask clinics if they took in high degree patients. Spoiler alert, a lot of places do not due to the high risk factor involved with taking in high degree patients. You basically burn off a lot of your eye tissue to even get you to a better degree. Now I wasn't expecting anything wild, but anything is better than what I was at. I finally called Liberty Laser Eye Center after reading a review about how this one patient with a high degree was able to get to -.75 after her surgery. She was just about the same degree set as me & was going on over a few years after surgery. Naturally, I had to call them & make sure they still took in patients with my degree. Dr. Tanchel was so ready to work with me & to see what she could do for me. She never pressured me, but gave me a ton of information on the procedure itself. Spoiler alert - I went through with it. I could only qualify for PRK - which is the original laser eye surgery before LASIK came out. PRK is the procedure where they scrub the top layer of your eye ball & then shoot a laser into your eye. I will say during my procedure, I was pretty nervous. She put in numbing eye drops in my eyes & I had to wait a few minutes for it to set. Weirdest feeling to have your eyes numbed. I had my right eye done first & then my left. The system started recalibrating before they began on my left eye. Omgosh. So, so turns out the numbing drops don't last a long time. After the system recalibrated, they pulled me back into the room. I felt her scrub my eye ball, whooo, weirdest feeling ever. She thankfully put in extra drops in my eye & I felt so much more relief. Each eye took about a minute to complete & each time it just felt like I was looking into a red dot. Afterwards, I left a little blind. I could see right after for a split second before my vision went blurry. I ended up sleeping in my closet for a whole week & that was nice. I was constantly tired & sleeping. If I was sleeping, I was putting in my medicated eye drops & regular eye drops to keep my eyes hydrated ('cause I just had them burned off by a laser.). It's been over six years, and to say I am happy is understated. I am beyond thrilled that I can see. I am ecstatic that I can wake up in the middle night without being blind to my surroundings. I no longer need glasses/contacts to be able to see. y'all I can drive without any corrective lenses. it's amazing! highly recommend you contact Dr. Tanchel for an appointment.

It's been 3 weeks since I first asked for a refund of money I paid for a service they couldn't provide and I keep getting told there is no update. I can't speak for the quality of their work but I can say it's been difficult to get any information or my money back.
