I wanted to get a good eye exam after having a bad experience with an optometrist. I chose Indy Eye Physicians and Dr. Wild because they were close and I had read some good reviews. The office is nice, the staff is pleasant for the most part, and Dr. Wild was professional, though cool.
The very young doctor's assistant did most of the interview and a "pre-exam" so my interaction with Dr. Wild was short. There was no dilation or the "puff" test. Just the basic "one or two" exam. I know my eyesight is getting worse but the last place had made glasses that created extreme distortion which I had never experienced. I explained that I only wear my glasses for distance, like driving and otherwise have no trouble. Dr. Wild told me he didn't think I was going to be happy with the results and said my sight couldn't be improved much because I have astigmatism in one eye and some cataracts both of which I was aware. He told me the only way I could get good vision is with cataract surgery (which he happens to perform). I opted for new lenses as I am not quite ready to take the surgery step.
When ordering my lenses, there wasn't any measuring my pupils, etc. They took a month to come in because someone failed to send in the tracings and no one had checked until I called after three weeks. I wore them for a month and although there was no distortion like in the past, there was a bit of expected blurring. But, I noticed if I strained my eyes just a little everything became crystal clear.
When I called to see if there was a possibility of a recheck, I was flatly and forcefully refused by the assistant. She was unsympathetic, refused to work with me further, and stressed that the doctor "said that's as good as it is going to get" and I needed cataract surgery. I did, however, go to have the prescription checked and the other staff members were courteous.
I won't be returning and cannot recommend this particular location or doctor. read more
