All my questions were answered and the cherry on top was... I was told by another assistant they recommended I got a lens not covered by my insurance. The doctor looked at my last test taken on my eye and said that it was not necessary to get. Not to come out of pocket when I could get the one covered by my insurance. That because of the condition of my eye, it would not be worth paying that money. Because of my experience so far, I feel confident in a successful surgical out.

If you're a diabetic PLEASE get several opinions if you come acrross Dr. Malouf. He will butcher your eyes and make you feel like it's your fault that you went blind. All I have to say is that I went to Dr. Malouf originally to get a pair of glasses for distance (I had 20/20 vision going in) and I came out of his office with news that my diabetes would cause me to go blind if I didn't have the laser treatment. I should have walked out of that office and never turned back. PLEASE do your research before accepting his recomendations!! t

It's officially my one-year anniversary since having LASIK (specifically the SMILE procedure) at…read moreEnvue, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From my very first initial contact, the staff was quick to respond, was warm, professional, and so patient in answering every question. They explained the entire process in plain language so I felt informed and comfortable before even stepping foot in the office. When I came in for my consultation, Dr. Rivers was just as kind, personable, and friendly as everyone had described. He walked me through the different vision correction options, explained the pros and cons of each, and made recommendations based on my needs -- without ever making me feel pressured. I ended up choosing the SMILE procedure, which was offered at a flat, affordable cost for both eyes (no hidden fees or "per eye" surprises that I was seeing everywhere). The procedure itself was fast and smooth. Dr. Rivers has such a calming presence he talked me through every step, making sure I was comfortable and fear-free. There's even a waiting area where your family or friends can watch the procedure if they'd like, which I thought was a cool touch. I noticed a difference in my vision immediately after the procedure -- I could read the time on the digital clock in the wall right away! By the next day, my vision was perfectly clear. They sent me home with everything I needed: eyedrops for moisture, antibiotic drops, sunglasses, coupons!!! and clear instructions for aftercare. I experienced only minimal discomfort in the days following. The office is beautiful!!! It's modern, great views, clean, and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. The location is super convenient, and I loved that there was garage parking with an exterior door that led directly into their office (no awkward walking around a building post-procedure!). Now, a year later, my vision is still perfect. The best part? Waking up and not needing to reach for glasses or think about contact lenses at all. It's been truly life-changing. If you've been on the fence about LASIK or SMILE, I can't recommend Dr. Rivers and the Envue team enough. They made the entire process easy, comfortable, and -- best of all -- successful!

This was my 1st and last time shopping at Sterling. It's really just the same sad story...supporting a black franchised owned business and receiving piss poor service and product. Not all businesses match the statement. However, Sterling does. I only scheduled an eye exam here because I've purchased directly from Dear Emery a few times and was told from a colleague their frames are sold at Sterling too. I needed an eye exam for this benefit year and thought why not get some frames too. The eye exam was quick and the optometrist was older, appeared experienced and nice. I expected this part to be quick because my vision has not changed much in my contacts or eyewear. After the exam, I was escorted to view and try on frames from another staff member, Lynnay (sp?). I shared with her the style and brands I was going for. We checked out Dear Emery but the ones I wanted was sold out. So then we tried on my 2nd choice, Cazal. Cazal is super hard to find in stores in the area because they are exclusive and not many stores have partnership with a distributor for the Germany-based brand. Their frames are very eclectic, edgy and statement pieces. I found one I wanted after trying a few pairs and began my ordering process. I chose the frame and the transition lens. They were very costly even after going through insurance with a balance of around $1200 left. Now this is where my experience went downhill. I received a call a wk later telling me I could come in to pick up new glasses. I arrive and Lynnay took the glasses out the case and told me to try on. I can't make this up y'all. They really tried to give me glasses that were the used/on display glasses with the inside serial number and brand name gone from people trying on. I immediately told her how dare they try to sell me this used frame and new lens. She said well they are clean because they sanitize every pair after try on. Y'all!!! If I wanted Goodwill, China would have went to Goodwill. Fast forward. I was very firm in they either get this mess straight and order new or refund me my money. She jumped on the phone and called her manager Lolita and explained what happened. I did not receive an apology or anything which leads me to believe they sadly do this to customers on a regular. And the customers just don't know SMH. I've worn glasses and contacts for the past 30 yrs and never been sold a used floor frame. Now why would I do that and essentially be paying $1200 for just a lens? I could have somebody on the street make that! I called Lolita the next day to provide feedback on the situation and of course she replied in a passive aggressive way which I expected. Brushing it under the rug, talking over me and so insincere in her tone and response. The "new" and correct glasses finally arrived after an additional 2 wks. I should have expected nothing less. It is in Iverson Mall. The snickerdoodle shop will give you more quality and service than them. Get your luxury glasses elsewhere. Trust me.
