At the time I write this there are three eyeglasses shops in the mall. One is tiny with mostly…read moreover-priced, designer frames. Another is huge, but packed with cheap, flimsy frames (and clerks that won't even acknowledge your presence). And then there is this store where the inventory, prices and service are just right! There is certainly something to be said about great service! Rebekah was very knowledgeable and was able to help me pick the most appropriate frame for my prescription. Their frames were stylish, yet sturdy, well-made and priced fairly. After discussing my options I settled on two pairs of progressives. This was my first time with bifocals and Rebekah was, again, just wonderful in explaining my options, providing helpful tips on how to use them, and assuring me that I could come right back in if I had any problems. She also explained the importance of precision in progressives so I was happy to see that they used digital measurement. I was so happy with my glasses that E. came here to get his prescription filled too. He had a pair of progressives that he got last year at another place and he never did get used to them so he had just set them aside. They were able to make him new lenses and now he is seeing just fine! After 5 months of blissful vision I fell asleep in my glasses and bent them beyond repair. Fortunately they said I had purchased insurance and so they replaced them for $20 with no hassle. They even had the frame in-stock so I was in and out in just a few minutes. You can bet that E. and I will return when it is time for new glasses!

I am not one to give negative reviews, but I would not want anyone of my friends to go to this poorly run medical facility. D. Johnson

I'm so glad I went shopping around for eye glasses. America's Best has a great deal on eye glasses…read more Get two pairs of eye glasses for $59.99, prescription included. I can't think of a better place to shop for glasses. The prescription alone is worth $55 anywhere else and here you get two glasses plus a prescription. They do also carry name brand frames like Ray Band, Nike and other luxury name brand eye glasses. I can't say much about the contact lens prescription cost and contacts. I opted only for glasses since I used to wear contacts for years which dried up my eyes. I got lasik about four years ago and now I only need very little prescription. Please enjoy America's Best as I do! You can treat yourself with the money you saved.

READ FOR YOUR GOOD (NEW TRICK) My visit with Dr Rowe for contact lenses was very surprising and…read morevery unfair and unprofessional. They put me through 2 different screenings and then with Dr. Rowe, My insurance paid for the visit, but when I got to the counter, I was told that I had to pay $250 for a "Contact Fitting session" appointment and if you don't pay the $250, they will NOT give you a copy of your lens prescription. I told the girl that this was never relayed to me before the visit, of course not, especially if they stand to make that chunk of change. AND then she said the visit would include fitting of disposable lenses which I never indicated I wanted. It made sense though, F you for $250 and then he chooses your lenses, and of course disposables will put more money in his pocket, now that's a WIN WIN for Dr. Rowe! F the patient.
