I have been frequenting eye centers yearly since I was 10 years old and the Eye Center of…read moreChesapeake has been the best experience I've ever had. Dr. Miller is the best overall optometrist I've ever worked with. He is beyond courteous and friendly, and he always goes above and beyond. In one visit, I learned more about the care of my eyesight than I have ever done in the last 15 visits to other optometrists due to his informative sessions on your eye condition. He made remarkable suggestions to improve my quality of life and eye health, which I am eternally grateful for. I am currently moving out-of-state and I plan on flying back yearly simply to get checked out by Dr. Miller.

At some point in the near future, I plan to take the plunge to get the surgery done so that I will not have to wear eyeglasses anymore. It seems counterintuitive for an optometrist to promote eye surgery but that just speaks to the character of Doctor Gilbert. He really wants what is best for his patients, even if it means he will earn less money.

I've been coming here for over a year now. I'm not sure if I've already written a review but I'm…read morewriting one now. I've dealt with EVEA for myself and my son. I've had a vision exam here as well as purchasing classes for myself. Exam wise I recommend 100%. However, I would NOT RECOMMEND this place for glasses. My son has had numerous vision and eye testing here. He currently has vision therapy every Tuesday for 12 months. They're giving him excellent care for this. You do have to pay out of pocket, they do not accept insurance and it's extremely expensive. I also purchased glasses for my son through them last year and it's process was subpar. The opticians were not very pleasant. They didn't seem very attentive. For me, my glasses have been back ordered, which is fine, but they don't do well reaching out to the customers to keep them in the loop. I had to call several times to inquire about my glasses. Takeaway: definitely get a eye exam here!! Go somewhere else for glasses!!!

I don't know why this wonderful medical practice has received poor reviews from others. I've been…read morecoming here for decades on the advice of a friend. Currently I come at least once a year because I am required to have an annual Plaquenil exam by my Rheumatologist. I've never had long waits. There are waiting rooms in the examination room section of the office specific to each doctor. You sometimes have relatively short waits for additional tests administered by a different technician. There is also a short wait for the dilation eye drops to take full effect. But I can assure you that this is the "Cadillac Practice" for those needing specialized care. If you have an eye trauma they will find an immediate appointment for you, even if it's at another of their offices. Dr. Newsom did both my eyelid & cataract surgeries. The cataract surgery was a miracle. Needing astigmatism lens, he told me I would have to choose between far or near vision. The first eye was done with a distance lens. I was shocked when I stopped afterwards for brunch & could read the menu without glasses. I could actually see all distances. Having been extremely nearsighted, I've been wearing glasses or contact lens since I was a child. At my recheck the morning after the first surgery I told Dr. Newsom about being able to see all distances. He asked if I had ever worn one far & one near contact lens, which I had. He responded that we wouldn't even have to do the other eye unless I wanted sharper vision. If that was my choice he would do the other eye with a near lens. That was my choice. Being able to see all distances without glasses has changed my life. Driving, reading, piano music, television, computers....... It's all great with no glasses. Every year at my Plaquenil appointment I offer to kiss his feet. Once I asked why everyone's cataract surgery wasn't done this way. His response was that your brain adjusts & not everyone's can. My friend sees Dr. Pavilack, who she absolutely loves. He found a terrible problem created by a botched cataract surgery at a different practice. I'm here today to drive her home because of the difficulty in seeing with dilated eyes. She had to wait no longer than 5 -10 minutes. The office is large, clean, nicely decorated & has plentiful parking at its Republic Road location, which runs between First Colonial & Laskin Roads. If you want quality, caring eye care this is certainly the practice to choose.

I've never even been inside this business, but that's not for lack of trying…read more I moved here from San Diego 6 months ago, along with my children and pets, leaving my active duty husband behind to finish his TOD there. Rent for a family of 5 was costing us 50% of our income. A few months after we arrived I noticed that there was an eye care center next to my local Walmart, so I Googled "Walmart with eye care center near me" when I returned home. I wear glasses and contacts, and all 3 of my children wear glasses, and our insurance provides us with yearly exams. This center was indicated to be the closest. It took me at least 2 calls to get through to someone to make an appointment, and even at that point they were scheduling 4 months out, so I made appointments only for myself and my youngest child. I was told that I would receive paperwork to fill out ahead of time, but I never did, despite checking my spam email regularly. When I asked about their location they confirmed that they were "between the Sams and the Walmart". Today my son and I arrived for the appt. And, as instructed, I called to let them know we were there. The receptionist asked me to pick up the paperwork and fill it out in my car. I'm sure this is a covid related measure, but since I am vaccinated I did not see why it was necessary. Nevertheless, I proceeded to the door, but no answer came when I knocked, and the hours indicated that they were closed. Someone working at Sam's Club said I could ask at the eye care sales dept., and when I did they indicated that the optometrist only scheduled appointments on weekends. When I explained my situation she told me that the optometry office I was looking for was between ANOTHER Walmart and Sam's Club that was also in Chesapeake. At that point I recalled that I had never been given an address for the location. I could never have known or guessed that Chesapeake would have 2 different Walmarts and Sam's Clubs, located together, in 2 different locations, and both with an optometry center in between, having only lived here a few months. But since I spoke with the office staff several times, you'd think they would have mentioned it to a new patient looking to schedule appointments for 4 people. Nope. Maybe if they'd sent me the paperwork as promised that would have let me know, but they didn't do that either. I did call back and explain that I did not have the correct location, but I was informed that, because of the time I'd spent trying to determine the problem, I would need to reschedule. Nope. Taking my business elsewhere.
