Heads up!
The Optometrist's operation in the back is one
*gotcha* after another.
They didn't disclose the price could go up from $189 for the contact lens fitting until after the contact lens fitting started.
*gotcha*
They didn't disclose that this Optometrist chooses to require a follow up visit for ALL contact lens fittings. I've worn contacts for over 30 years...never have I been required to do a follow up...until they have me on the hook for $189...oh, it costs $40 to miss an appointment at a place that accepts walk-ins...so never make an appointment with these people.
*gotcha*
You will have to come back in a week or they will withhold your prescription so basically you will lose $100. They know the follow up visit is not something that all Optometrists do, so the follow-up visit seems worth a mention.
Oh, FYI
They did not disclose that the contact lenses had to be in your eyes for 4 hrs before they will perform the follow up so you will have plenty of time to kill if you're an honest person.
*gotcha*
then they dated the prescription the day of the initial visit. So, no bonus for coming all the way back for the follow up. That seems to just justify them charging $70 more than their nearest competitor.
The staff in the front where the glasses are made were very friendly and helpful. They did a great job on my $313 glasses. I was really impressed with their utilization of the digital system to measure my pupils and adjust my daughter's glasses so both of us had a great fit.
I expected to pay a premium for the convenience of having the glasses immediately...but the people at the Optometrists practice really go the extra mile to beat out all the convenience. I wouldn't recommend coming here unless you had an existing prescription. Otherwise, the Optometrist staff really goes out of their way to not tell you anything...or help you out at all. read more
