They sent the progressive lenses out, and did not complete the order that I had purchased: [no border frame color]. In addition, they assured me that the Silhouette lenses would be identical to the ones I purchased elsewhere, but the new lenses did not have the same coatings. Finally, when I picked the new glasses up, the woman who did the adjustment bent the frames unevenly. She obviously did not know what she was doing. I needed to go to a different optometry shop to get them fixed. I will never buy glasses from this shop again.

And I only get two, so I really wanted to see someone ASAP. She got me in this afternoon and was both thorough and wonderfully easy going. She took my mild hysteria and put the kibosh on it with some clear explanations, common sense and a simple starting point - hot compresses, they were only clogged oil pores. Not wanting me to waste the time away from work, she did a full eye exam as well, helped me understand why I was grumpy with my new glasses (an astigmatism that had never been accounted for) and went over how my particular astigmatism could be difficult to work with (it's on the oblique). Basically, she was easy to deal with and I left satisfied and in a much better mood. The little optical shop she's located in, Pirelli's, seemed pretty cool too!

Our experience at MEEI was horrible from rude staff, unreliability where they didn't return our calls, and more. This place was just above and beyond in comparison!! And felt as if we were at a "5 star hotel" for a private office compared to MEEI's 2.5 star hotel rating... Parking is tight at one of their office location (West Roxbury), but the medical center in Norwood and other place had parking which was helpful! And was free. After deciding to go with this specialist due to their experiences, knowledge, and care (unlike MEEI's), they were responsive to our questions and calls. We appreciated that a great deal. We absolutely adore Mary, one of their office staff in addition to the attending nurses (all were great) and the doctors too!

I was also promptly referred to a retina specialist who looked into the issue of floaters/flashes and possible retina detachment. The technicians in both of the Eye Care Specialist locations in Norwood and West Roxbury were extremely capable in their administering of drops, use of all the imaging machines, and their thoroughness in taking my pertinent eye health information to give to the doctors. The doctors I have seen, Dr. Mills and Dr. Agahababayan were both very competent and identified my problems immediately, prescribing effective medications and treatment plans. They were also very friendly and informative about the causes for my issues and suggested courses of action to deal with root causes. Overall these offices in Norwood and West Roxbury were outstanding in every way and I am lucky to have found them. Thank you all.

I…read moreorginally saw another Dr, who was fine, but I was told I had to return to see Dr. I because she was a dry eye specialist. Not only was I kept waiting over an hour for this appointment, but my insurance didn't cover it so I had to pay for it. Dr. I recommended that I have a series of laser treatments at $250 each. AND she told me a horror story about how I could go blind if I didn't do it. Then, when my glasses came in the alignment or something was way off. I had it checked and redone redone twice. The lenses alone cost $650 because they were progressives with prism. (They were never right but I gave up.) When I told them I couldn't see well enough to drive wearing the glasses, they didn't believe me and said I just had to get used to progressives even though I explained that I had had progressives before. So, I had to return three times and wait a long time even though I had appointments. At the time, I wrote a negative review. The owner contacted me and asked me to take it down and he'd give me a free pair of prescription sunglasses lens. (I provided the frames.) I'm submitting this again because it's a year later and I went to another eye doctor. Now, after a good experience at Boston Vision, I know I was right to complain. Sure, prescriptions change, but I found out the contacts didn't even correct my astigmatism, which is the main reason I wear them, and the glasses were way off. Not only that, but no one tried to sell me any lasers or drops or eye masks. When it came to tests, they carefully explained my choices because some were included under my insurance and others weren't.

Not all of the staff is particularly friendly, but…read morethey act competitive with other stores, including being reluctant to give you prescriptions, which is incompatible with Massachusetts law. I've never had this problem elsewhere, including getting pupillary distance or measurements that would allow me to get glasses elsewhere if I want. It's petty.

I hope to follow the optometrist elsewhere when they leave.
