It was good that I saw him, and he will follow me yearly. He came highly recommended by a high school friend who has seen him for a long time. I can't say enough about him or his office staff. Everyone was friendly and super helpful. I highly recommend visiting here if you have eye problems, from simple to complex.

They greeted me upon entry and checked me in seamlessly. The technician who did my eye screening was very courteous and proficient. Next, Dr. Lim was very precise, professional, personable, and succinct with her explanations of my eye exam. Lastly, David, at the front of the store was very helpful when it came to choosing my new prescription glasses. David took the time to explain certain lenses, my prescription, my insurance coverages, and other questions I had. He was personable, stylish, and professional. If you're looking for a great eye doctor with professional, skilled staff, you will make the right choice coming here.

When I gave myself a gnarly corneal abrasion causing terrible discomfort, my wife (who is a patient…read morehere) told me I should give them a call to have it checked out. Thankfully they were able to fit me in that same day and I saw Dr. Vinh, who diagnosed my abrasion and immediately alleviated my discomfort with numbing drops and a contact lens bandage over my cornea, prescribing me antibiotic drops to take to prevent an eye infection. Long story short I leaned the very hard way that I am allergic to a specific type of antibiotic eye drop (which for the record Dr. Vinh said was quite rare) and my eye swelled up and became badly inflamed overnight, causing me to return the next day and see Dr. Perry, who took great care of me and gave me steroid drops to bring down the inflammation. A day later and my eye was as good as new, and I saw Dr. Vinh again who gave me a clean bill of health. Simply put, I could not have been in better hands than I was with NOVA Vision Center. The professionalism and care that I experienced from the receptionists to the techs to the doctors was second to none. These folks are good at what they do, they truly care about their patients, and it shows. I now look forward to making them my new eye care place in the future, hopefully next time under better circumstances! :)

Ok, so this is going to be a long review, but totally worth reading if you have horrible eyesight…read morelike I did. I had horrible, horrible eyesight & if you're telling yourself you do too, wait till you hear my old prescription. 'cause I had to live over 10+ years with this degree listening to people with -1 or even -.5 tell me how bad their vision was. cue rolling eyes. I was a -11 & -12 in my left & right eye respectively. Now you can gasp & go, "holy sh*t". that's right. I was pretty much blind. If I didn't have glasses or contacts in, my whole world was one giant blurry mess. I couldn't make out distinctive items & I sure as hell couldn't identify a human being from one another. Funny enough, I never looked into laser eye surgery because I didn't know if I qualified. I originally went to TLC laser eye surgery (where they wasted my time and told me I would not qualify for laser eye surgery due to my high degree). So, I had to call around & actually ask clinics if they took in high degree patients. Spoiler alert, a lot of places do not due to the high risk factor involved with taking in high degree patients. You basically burn off a lot of your eye tissue to even get you to a better degree. Now I wasn't expecting anything wild, but anything is better than what I was at. I finally called Liberty Laser Eye Center after reading a review about how this one patient with a high degree was able to get to -.75 after her surgery. She was just about the same degree set as me & was going on over a few years after surgery. Naturally, I had to call them & make sure they still took in patients with my degree. Dr. Tanchel was so ready to work with me & to see what she could do for me. She never pressured me, but gave me a ton of information on the procedure itself. Spoiler alert - I went through with it. I could only qualify for PRK - which is the original laser eye surgery before LASIK came out. PRK is the procedure where they scrub the top layer of your eye ball & then shoot a laser into your eye. I will say during my procedure, I was pretty nervous. She put in numbing eye drops in my eyes & I had to wait a few minutes for it to set. Weirdest feeling to have your eyes numbed. I had my right eye done first & then my left. The system started recalibrating before they began on my left eye. Omgosh. So, so turns out the numbing drops don't last a long time. After the system recalibrated, they pulled me back into the room. I felt her scrub my eye ball, whooo, weirdest feeling ever. She thankfully put in extra drops in my eye & I felt so much more relief. Each eye took about a minute to complete & each time it just felt like I was looking into a red dot. Afterwards, I left a little blind. I could see right after for a split second before my vision went blurry. I ended up sleeping in my closet for a whole week & that was nice. I was constantly tired & sleeping. If I was sleeping, I was putting in my medicated eye drops & regular eye drops to keep my eyes hydrated ('cause I just had them burned off by a laser.). It's been over six years, and to say I am happy is understated. I am beyond thrilled that I can see. I am ecstatic that I can wake up in the middle night without being blind to my surroundings. I no longer need glasses/contacts to be able to see. y'all I can drive without any corrective lenses. it's amazing! highly recommend you contact Dr. Tanchel for an appointment.

Took my money for nothing :( I consulted here for LASIK,…read morethey took a $250 charge to hold my appointment/discount my price, two days before the surgery they called and said the machine ran a software update and wasn't working so I would need to reschedule, I waited and waited and kept calling with no update available until finally I scheduled somewhere else, I called to get my money back and the lady at the front desk said she would have to ask the doctor, since then I've called to ask for a updates and still nothing. It's been 3 weeks since I first asked for a refund of money I paid for a service they couldn't provide and I keep getting told there is no update. I can't speak for the quality of their work but I can say it's been difficult to get any information or my money back.

I visited Capital Eye Consultants when my wife had an appointment with them and decided to make an…read moreappointment for my own because she was happy with their medical services. This was on 12/11/24, but I made the appointment far in the future (for 3/12/25) because had a plan to travel overseas in January or February. As you may guess I lost the track of the appointment until 2 days ago (on 4/20/25) when I received a bill from them charging me $40 for No Show fee. I called the CEC and told them that while I blame myself for not keeping a good record of the appointment, I see some faults of your own because you did not contact me about it. The lady answering my call told me their computer report shows they've sent me 2 text messages, respectively one week and 24 hours before the appointment. So I checked my text messages and couldn't find a trace of them. I called back and said that "look, I really want to renew my appointment because need some evaluation of my eyes." The lady put me on hold and consulted the issue with her supervisor and their accountant and the final answer was that, "OK, you can make another appointment but after you pay this $40." I thanked the lady and hung up but then I thought this is unfair because I really didn't have any reason to lie about the text messages. If I didn't want to show up to the appointment and had received only one of the messages, I could've called them and cancel it instead of not showing up and spending more time calling them twice. The fact is that the time spent on the phone is not considered much comparing with 90 minutes that I spent to file a complaint with the Commonwealth Of Virginia, Department Of Health Professions and now writing this lengthy review on YELP.
