The website was easy to use to request an appointment, and I was contacted quickly by the office to schedule an appointment. Kelsey was such a sweetheart greeting me when I checked in and helping to do the initial tests when I arrived. Dr. Simoncini was so kind and informative, explaining everything every step of the appointment. He was very encouraging during the exam, and I learned a lot about my eyes that I had never had explained before (what is an Astigmatism, why are "floaters" called that and why do they exist?). Then Patty was wonderful in helping me pick out new glasses. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone for their eyecare needs!

I ordered a two pairs of glasses, one for reading, one for everything else. When I was chose them…read morethe male worker told me they'd be about $150 and $250. That sounded like a deal. When I picked them up they were $900+. He'd been talking about the frames NOT the frames and lenses, and without consulting me he had ordered the most expensive lenses. I was shocked. They had a responsibility to make sure I knew the prices, and had many opportunities to tell me. In addition they used the temples from my old glasses for the new pair. I'd left them behind because the bridge was broken and I thought they needed them to help pick out the next pair b/c I wanted the same frame. No one told me this either. I used to like this shop.

Needless to say, I was a bit frantic and needed to find a location that would take me right away. I was able to get an appointment for the upcoming Monday which I was absolutely not expecting. I was a bit skeptical due to the location being inside of the town center, however I had no issues parking inside of the garage located closest to Target, and then taking a short walk. The young lady that assisted me with my eye tests was amazing! I always get anxiety prior to the glaucoma examination, however she was super patient with me and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding. Now for Dr. Shields: VERY personable, knowledgeable, patient to say the least. He took his time, explained everything to me from the health of my eye, to making recommendation for Lasik, answering my questions. Overall the customer service is a 10/10 SUPERB

Issue: They tell you in-store what your insurance will cover and the amount you will have to pay out of pocket.

Their prices are high enough before they play games with billing. Avoid this business.

I will certainly continue to use them for my eyeglasses needs.

I searched high and low for anyone who could fix them but nobody carry's montblanc anything. Called about 5 shops, went into 2 optometrists in the area. Nobody could help. Online there were no repair kits that had the size required to fix my sunglasses. I called McNelly and spoke with Linda Kintu. She was super helpful and even went out of her way to help me find montblanc's repair website. Unfortunately that ended up not working out, but Linda said I could come in and they could see what they could do to help. When I arrived at the storefront, Linda was very welcoming and nice! Absolute people person. Linda and Ed Marshall took a look at my glasses and realized that it would require a specialized custom part to fix them, and that they didn't have the part. However, they decided to go above and beyond to help me and were able to somehow construct the part needed out of what they had in the shop. Never expected my glasses to get fixed so I gotta recommend McNelly and both Linda and Ed for their help.

Yesterday while sitting at my desk working, the arm fell off a pair of glasses I'd purchased from…read moreanother retailer on 24 Jan 2025. Today is 30 Apr 2026... making my prescription more than a year old. Luckily, I had a backup second pair of glasses of the same prescription. That said, I wanted to get the frames that fell apart either fixed or replaced because I would now be without a backup pair of eyeglasses. When I went to the originating myvision store they would not fix or replace the glasses because I hadn't bought the $29.00 insurance where I was never asked about adding that option in the first place when I originally purchased the frames that just fell apart yesterday. Rather than fix or replace the obviously defective frames, they suggested I could use superglue myself, to reinsert the arm into the hinge myself but they refused to fix my glasses. Instead, I've gone online and given them a bad review in several instances... but enough about them. I opted instead to take my business elsewhere and walked down the street to buy new frames at the new Warby Parker store. I entered and was greeted by a salesclerk thereafter I spent some time looking at new frames. Now understand, had my other glasses not just fallen apart, I'd still be wearing and using the prescription dated 24 Jan 2025. So, after selecting a Warby Parker frame style I liked, I went to speak with the clerk and asked them to use my current prescription which I then presented. I was then told the prescription was more than a year old and would have to be replaced where I needed to see a doctor and get a new eye exam and prescription. That was absolutely absurd... I was already upset with the other vendor down the street, then to hear the clerk at Warby Parker tell me my prescription couldn't be used, I asked to speak to the manager. The manager came over and proceeded to tell me the same thing where he likened my using the eyeglasses prescription that I currently use daily, to my using an old out-of-date prescription medicine. He too refused to order new glasses for me using my current vision prescription. His response blew my mind. Warby Parker was refusing to honor my prescription because it was 66 days older than one year. I was told of course; I was welcome to waste more time and schedule an expensive eye exam with Warby Parker to get a new prescription identical to my current prescription. UGH. It's unfathomable... I've used the same prescription for years where last year for the first time in many years my script was slightly updated making it impossible for me to use my older glasses. I cannot believe Warby Parker wouldn't sell me new frames using my current 1-year and 66-day old prescription. Warby Parker is definitely NOT a business I'll ever recommend to anyone.

At the 3 week point, I called and asked for an explanation and a new delivery date and was told the lens manufacturer was in Houston and they were trying to resource making the glasses. No, new date, no explanation until I presses for it. Even worse, I couldn't find an email or other contact number for the optical company, so I could figure out if they had a plan or were even telling the truth. Boy, do I wish I had chosen somewhere else.

Also, because of the special they had I got a discount on a second pair that I had made into sunglasses. They took my insurance and my out of pocket was reasonable. All in all I had a pleasant experience and highly recommend Amanda and her team.
