Great 1st and 2nd visit here at Maple Valley Eye Care. What a clean, modern, friendly office. Got…read moremany glasses ordered, they arrived a week early. Consultation and check in was easy. They have water and coffee for guests, plenty of seating, a wide selection to choose from, and ease of working with insurance. Also my daughter loves the decor here.

As others have mentioned, this place has a number of issues:…read more 1. Sanitation at Maple Valley Eye Care is extremely poor. You run a real risk of getting an eye and/or skin infection because they rarely clean the equipment. I routinely find hair and/or skin grease on the exam equipment and have never seen anyone clean anything voluntarily here. Read the reviews, and you'll see multiple reports of patients getting eye infections right after exams here. Shortly after an eye exam at Maple Valley Eye Care, I got a painful, chronic eye infection myself for the first time in my life, The technician physically shoved my face into the eye scanner without my consent, and soon after that I developed an eye infection. Of course when I came back to get the infection treated, the doctor acted like my getting an eye infection for the first time in my life right after visiting Maple Valley Eye Care was just a random coincidence that had nothing to do with their lack of sanitation or physically pushing my face into the scanner. 2. They do not treat patients with respect. Some of the technicians will physically shove a patient's face into the eye scanner equipment without consent. I am not the only person to report this. 3. They aggressively upsell, and have a tendency to add on expensive features to lens orders without explaining what they are or getting explicit patient consent. I have found items that I never asked for my added to my orders without my knowledge. They can also be careless, and make mistakes such as ordering the wrong frames, mistakes which are only corrected after being discovered by the patient. 4. Maple Valley Eye Care is expensive. Even with one of their "discounts", frames and lenses are still more expensive than you will find elsewhere. 5. They don't follow Washington State Law for optometrists (WAC 246-852-010). Specifically, they immediately shuttle patients over to the sales counter without issuing the prescription to the patient. By law, optometrists are required to immediately issue the prescription to the patient after the exam. Every time I have an exam here, they always make me go over to the sales counter to discuss purchases right away, and do not ever provide the prescription to me unless I ask for it, and even then they typically delay and will promise to email it to me later. In my experience, front desk staff typically resist issuing a printed prescription to a patient, and even after requesting it via email, will often "forget" to send it and have to be reminded.

On a positive note, I was able to order glasses that worked out very well for me so I'm offering a mixed review.

Phone encounter: I was trying to see if my prescription was still valid…read more Pam answered the call, whom also had the worst phone etiquette. I understand you must've answered the question I had a million times, but please do not cut me off while I am talking. I did not appreciate the way i was responded. I am a loyal customer to Costco and a future patient with the optical dept. Pam needs re-training how to answer calls. I also work in the medical field... so if patients may have questions, specially pertaining to how to save a couple of bucks for lenses, help the member out nicely is the least you can do, Pam! Thank you for answering my question though, and yes you did save me a trip, but in the future, have the decency to be corteous enough over the phone. The gal on Saturday who had was professional and me was super helpful and even went above and beyond to write down a rough estimate on how much i needed to pay out of pocket. Now that is the Costco customer service! But having an employee like Pam just ruins the outlook of the optical team.

She left my little eye shop and I fear the dr's that are left are not the best. Mid April my 17 year old daughter went to see her on her own (I'd had surgery and couldn't go) Dr Ahmed gave her a script and I took her two weeks later and paid and other $100 for new lenses to be put into her existing frames. We get them back and my daughter said. No everything is still very blurry. So back we go. Again Dr agmed is very rushed. Made us feel like we were a bother because she didn't do her job right the first time. She'd ask my daughter. 1 or 2 and she'd say I can't tell a difference but neither of them is clear. This went on for about 5 minutes when she decided to almost double her script. She assured us it was what my daughter thought was best. (Reread this paragraph) So we have another set of lenses made. We picked them up yesterday and she puts them on and immediately takes them off and says I'm seeing 4 of everything. So 3rd times a charm. She's seeing a new dr next week and I will update after her new glasses arrive. But seriously. This is a headache. I should have shopped around for a new Dr and allowed my insuemace to pay for it.

Went here to get lenses for a pair of frames I already had…read more I asked the optician if it was possible to add nose pads on the frames, she just stared at me and shook her head. She almost looked annoyed to do her job?? I was kind of taken aback by her attitude. The optician proceeded to say "you have no bridge at all" in a rude manner almost insulting my looks. The doctor owners, the father and daughter duo, must train their staff better to be more culturally sensitive when working with Southeast Asian patients and not insult our racial features. Is the Optician racist? This was the only takeaway I had walking away from this experience. Not to mention the awkward front desk situation. They have two front desk people, when you are talking to one, the other front desk person just stare at you the whole time. I felt so insulted and racially profiled that I asked my husband to call and cancel my lenses with them. Also, how are lenses $240 after insurance?!!! On glasses USA you can get at least three pairs including lenses for that price.

Located in my favorite plaza in Renton, Oceanclear has a plethora of frames. They have a variety of designer brands as well as high quality eyeglasses brands. I was impressed with the variety of styles and looks. It was quite easy to find a couple pairs that I would like. Dr. Wendy Kuo was amazing! I have hit and miss luck with optometrists lately but after my experience here I foresee me coming back. Dr. Kuo was informative, helpful, and very easy to talk to. She took what my ophthalmologist had told me and related it to the type of glasses that I required. I felt like I had dialogue with her instead of being talked at or rushed, which has been some of my recent experiences with optometrists (or really many in the medical field of all kinds). It was nice because I walked away with a better understanding of how to care for my eyes. Vincent took my initial check-in procedures (pressure test and what not) and he helped me select glasses. Will fully admit I was very uncertain about him in the beginning. He was so quiet - he didn't introduce himself or really explain any of the various tests we were doing or if they were good or bad results. When Dr. Kuo told me Vincent would help me pick out frames I really was skeptical. But once he was around me for five minutes he relaxed and gave fantastic advice! Vincent really helped me find the right look. The two frames I purchased I felt confident looked good on me and fit my face. I was super pleased! The eyeglasses arrived two weeks later and I received a voicemail and email letting me know they in. They were perfect! Pickup was a breeze. Highly recommend!
