When we opened our doors for business in 1984, we understood then, as we do now, that there are a variety of places where you can go to purchase eyewear. Our commitment to you is to always take the time to help you select the right pair of glasses that suit your appearance and style, and then to adjust them properly so that they not only look good on you, but they also feel good when you wear them. As long as you own them, you can bring them back to us to be adjusted if you ever feel the need. Our reputation means everything to us!

I chose the Pantops (Peter Jefferson Pkwy) office after discovering that it was much closer to…read morewhere I live. I had already visited other MyEyeDr offices to shop and compare, as I was looking to get a backup pair of prescription sunglasses. I found most of the other offices far more customer-friendly than this one. With the exception of Avory, who was most impressive in her courtesy, professionalism and superb customer service skills, I found the front staff lacking in their approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to work with Avory. However, I continually observed her performance with other customers while I was working with Rashonda. Avory genuinely seemed happy to be working there and always verbally welcomed guests as they entered the office. Other staff appeared to have a perfunctory "just going through the motions" attitude about their work. I am rating this office three stars, rather than only two stars, because everyone seemed to be technically competent in their trade. Thus, if you care only about technical proficiency, then this office is fine. But if you're like me and you want not only technical competence from your eye doctor experience, but a friendly, engaging interaction where you feel welcomed and glad you came, then I don't think the Pantops (Jefferson Parkwy) office is your best option. If you are lucky to work with Avory, then you should walk away feeling very pleased with your experience. Otherwise, with the other front staff, I recommend looking elsewhere. I certainly plan to choose another MyEyeDr office after I pick up my current pair of sunglasses soon! Thank you, Avory, for setting a good role-modeling example for your colleagues. I hope they will heed your example of stellar, professional and friendly customer service!

She was very patient and kind...she took her time and examined my eyes carefully. I have Grave's eye disease and she even went so far as to take measurements of my eyes...and didn't charge me extra, even though I'm sure my appointment took longer than most. I got my exam for only $60 (without any insurance) and I purchased glasses for only $54!! My glasses were ordered on Friday morning and they had them in store for me by lunch time on the following Monday! I wasn't expecting such good service considering how inexpensive they are. I am VERY impressed and I have already told all of my family and friends to give it a try! I will be going back for my future exams!

MyEyeDr. has impressed me in several respects, principally through the good work of Dr. Janice Di Girolamo and Ms. Robinette Jenkins. Both have aptly demonstrated competence, excellent communication skills and superb customer service. When I visit MyEyeDr. at Barracks Rd., I feel that I am stopping by to visit with friends who are experts in the eye health field and who genuinely want nothing but the best for my eye health. Thanks in large part to Robinette, who is the General Manager and my primary point of contact, I always receive the friendliest customer service imaginable. Robinette is a professional with heart, keen intellect, and a delightful sense of humor. Since interacting with Dr. Girolamo and Robinette, I have never even considered seeking these services elsewhere. As long as my wife and I remain in Charlottesville, I will obtain my eye health services at MyEyeDr. at Barracks Rd., principally because of the outstanding service rendered by Ms. Jenkins and Dr. Janice Di Girolamo. Therefore, I do not hesitate to extend my personal recommendation and gratitude to MyEyeDr. at Barracks Rd., Charlottesville. They are a first-class office and a real pleasure to visit for my eye health! Shenandoah Titus, Esq.

I went online looking for an optometrist to get replacement glasses. No one was accepting new patients especially one from out of state. I decided to see if MyEyeDr could help me out. I have an affinity for Oakley frames and I called one location who didn't carry them, but were happy to look in the system to find the MyEyeDr on Westfield Rd which did. That was true customer service by getting me what I wanted and not try to sell me on something else. I set up an appointment with ease and was seen at my requested date/time. Luckily it's a new year so I got my annual exam along with new glasses. I was told 7 business days for glasses to come in and without fail I got a text saying they were in. A lot of people don't like chain facilities, but MyEyeDr proved there is always an exception. They were able pull up my prescription from over three years ago when I last used a MyEyeDr to compare against my current vision and my insurance information. All I had to do was walk in update my address and sit down. Thanks to Dr. Susan Mueller and staff you all were great!
