If you come to this location, you need to ask for Joy! She gave me a personalized and friendly experience. She was very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She helped me make great decisions on the best and top name brand eyeglasses and sunglasses. They have a great selection on designer eyewear such as Michael Kors, Coach, Versace, etc.

1st week got the glasses. Since you did not buy their protection plan. You will need to buy another one.

We been going to this location for glasses for whole family for years. But now not sure if the management is changed or something. It is worse ever. Just for one glass we have to make several trips in order to fix it from a new order. No. 1 All managers in this location is not very professional in customer service. They did not have good training how to handle with problem and solution. Their front desk is better than them. At least they willing to help. Not criticizing. No 2. Their product is way to expensive than the quality. even with insurance a no name frame plus glasses will cost you about $300. Feel like you pay out of pocket. Over price in order to get both insurance and client pay. Suggestion: you may want to go with their eye exam. But never ever get their glasses. They are so cheap and want you to buy their insurance with my eye dr. (Maybe they got KIP for selling their protection plan) so the quality of the glasses will not be good. Then their protection will seem very useful. By the way, their manager will not wear name tag or give your name when you ask. Maybe it is her last date. So she treat clients like "I donot care".

Located inside of a busy shopping center so choose the time you come carefully. I have been coming here for a couple of years now. I recently started wearing glasses so I chose this location based on what's covered by my insurance and what was close to my house. This location was the one that fit my criteria the best. That have been retry good so far. They have several eye doctors that work out of this location. I have had no issues getting appointments. I like to pick the early morning time slots. They open daily at 9:00 am. Many of the other businesses aren't busy around that time so there is always plenty of parking close. I have made the mistake of coming during the lunch hours between 11:00 and 1:00 and the parking lot is a mad house. The few times I have been here I haven't had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen. I don't have anything to compare them to, but they always have a very large selection of frames to choose from. After I ordered my glasses, they came back within a week or so. When I stopped in to pick them up the staff ensure that they fit properly and were the correct prescription strength. They provided a eyeglass case, cleaning cloth, and cleaning spray. Overall, I am very satisfied with the level of service I received. I will continue to come back here for all of my high health needs.

MCM frames

Every step of my experience here was nothing less than stellar. I easily scheduled an appointment online and was able to be seen relatively soon. On the day of my appointment, I was warmly and promptly greeted. The office is clean and organized. Everyone was wearing masks. I was immediately seen and never kept waiting. Dr. Alvarez did my exam for eyeglasses and contacts. She was friendly and took her time explaining everything related to my issues concerning my vision. After the exam, Allie helped me choose my new glasses. She went above and beyond in helping me find the right frames. She even popped the lenses out of some pairs of sunglasses that could be crafted into eyeglasses. She was incredibly patient with me. I was very particular about what I was looking for and she took her time with me not just in choosing eyeglasses, but also in reviewing all of the pricing and offers available. They price match on contact lenses. I got the Costco price even though I don't have a Costco membership! They also accept Care Credit which was very helpful since I don't have vision insurance. I was told my eyeglasses would be ready in three weeks and they were ready on time. When I went to pick them up on 07/16, the two young ladies at the front desk were really friendly and helpful in letting me try them on and making sure they fit just right. They gave me some eyeglass cleaner and I was on my way. I couldn't be more pleased with this experience. I am so grateful that I have found MyEyeDr in Columbia!

This is the location!!!

Do not make an appointment here!!! The customer service is horrible the staff is very uneducated on their own policies and procedures. They do not take accountability. Very unprofessional for the Columbia area. Very disappointed 0/10 I do not recommend until the staff takes customer service classes.

Dee P.

Rona protocols done right! Upon check in sanitizer spray, temperature reading and new mask provided. Cleaning supplies out after every customer the chairs and tables are wiped / sprayed. Glasses cleaned before tried on. This place smells clean! Doctor Alvarez was very knowledgeable and patient. Very thorough review. I highly recommend her for children exams.

I stopped by the Frederick Costco while running some errands yesterday. I've been meaning to get my…read moreeye prescription updated since I've been noticing I can't see certain things quite as sharply (mostly the countdown on the crosswalk signs while driving). I stopped in before shopping to see if I could get an appointment and was able to see Dr. Jan right away! Dr. Jan was friendly and professional the whole time and addressed all of my concerns about my vision. In the end he told me I was in between my current prescription and the next so I could go either way but since I've been noticing that my vision had worsened I could move to the next prescription. This was a great first visit and I will definitely be back even though this location is a bit of a hike for me. Highly recommend Dr. Jan!

Terrible Experience & Unprofessional Handling of Insurance…read more I arrived at this office dealing with severe eye irritation that left my left eye swollen shut and highly sensitive to light. Unfortunately, the care and professionalism I received matched the physical pain I was in. Upon entering, the staff was unapproachable and cold, and Dr. Jan addressed me only by name to give staff directions in front of me while entirely skipping a basic greeting. Before my exam, which included a painful laser photo that left me needing a moment to recover. I explicitly verified my insurance coverage again. Despite having called ahead to confirm insurance, receiving two text reminders, and having the appointment confirmed day-of, the receptionist shouted across a crowded, very small waiting room immediately after my procedure: "You can't see the doctor without paying out of pocket. We don't take "Name of insurance!" She literally yelled outloud the name of my medical insurance carrier. When I reasonably asked why my appointment and insurance had been repeatedly confirmed beforehand, the receptionist simply shrugged her shoulders coldly and demanded I leave, while Dr. Jan closed her office door to avoid the situation steps away from me. To be subjected to public humiliation while in acute physical pain, with zero empathy, compassion, or accountability from the staff or the physician is completely unacceptable. I left in pain and deeply disappointed by this establishment. Avoid this office inside of Costco if you expect basic respect and competent administrative communication.

My 3 kids and I have been patients here since 2020/2021 so we've seen the staff change…read more First off, I want to gatekeep Dr Ma for all she's worth. LOL it's ALWAYS a pleasure visiting her. She's EXTREMELY kind and patient with my bajillion questions. I've only seen Dr Ma so I cannot speak about the other doctors. Prior to the staff changing, I only liked 2 staff members. Scheduling with them and getting pick up notifications weren't smooth. Some orders just weren't submitted. But I've previously worked in the medical offices (cardiologist and ophthalmologist offices in NY) to know how busy, demanding and overwhelming it could be. So I try to book in advance and be more patient & understanding ESP during pandemic months. When it came to problems, I would see that sometimes it was the previous staffs errors, and sometimes it were rude patients causing issues. Again, all of this is in regards to the PREVIOUS STAFF. But one day, I noticed the 2 staff members I liked both stopped coming in. I don't like change but I was crossing my fingers for a new efficient staff. So from the new staff members, I primarily received help from Charmayen, Shantera (I can't remember if I spelled it right) & Mya. LET ME TELL YOU THAT I WANT TO HOG THESE 3 STAFF MEMBERS ALL TO MYSELF! I love them. Absolute pleasure working with them. My insurance isn't so friendly with their software. But Charmayen waves her magic wand and gets me in and out super quick. She never brushes me over because it's more work. She takes the time to make sure I'm getting all the vision benefits and making sure I'm saving tons of money. Honestly they're such good people that whether it took hours or not, I wouldn't mind. Very caring, polite, funny, efficient ladies. I never had issues with them. They took the time to educate my kids as they started wearing contacts this summer. They were so patient while my kids were struggling to put the contacts in. I have ZERO complaints about the new staff. I do not call the visionworks general number nor book online. Whenever I'm at the store or in the area, I'll schedule with them in person WAY~ in advance bc I know how the medical facilities work. Again, I only had issues with the old staff. The new staff members are dolls. A lot of the customers now are really impatient and demand far more than needed. Idk if the new staff have issues with customers but to those visiting this location, please be patient and be kind to the front desk and workers.

I am writing this review to warn other customers, especially those using Medicaid or other vision…read moreinsurance plans, to ask very specific questions before agreeing to any exam or service. My son had an appointment for a routine eye exam and glasses. Before the appointment, Visionworks was aware of his insurance coverage and what benefits were included. After the visit, we discovered that a contact lens exam had also been performed and billed, resulting in additional out-of-pocket costs. My son's understanding was that he was there for a standard eye exam and glasses. He does not wear contacts and was not seeking contact lenses. Visionworks may claim that the service was discussed or authorized, but at minimum the communication was unclear enough that he left believing he was receiving only the exam he came in for. The frustrating part is that the contact lens exam fee is non-refundable. Had it been made absolutely clear that an additional service with an additional charge was being added, we would have declined it immediately. My advice to anyone going here: do not assume the exam being performed is only the one you scheduled. Specifically ask whether a contact lens exam is being added and whether it will create any additional charges. Get a clear answer before the exam begins. Whether this is an intentional business practice or simply poor communication, the result is the same: customers can leave an appointment facing charges for services they did not realize they were receiving. That should not happen.

I recently had an appointment with Dr. Strong at First Sight Vision Care as a new patient and I was…read morethroughly impressed. Located off of Route 29, I had no problems finding it or parking. The staff was very cordial and promptly took me to the initial exam room where they examined my eyes with modern technology and an explanation of everything that was being done. Dr. Strong is highly detail oriented with a friendly demeanor. She listened to my description of what I have been noticing with my glasses over the last year and got me dialed into a new prescription. She and the frames specialist gave me some good advice on how to compare the frames with fit and fashion equally considered. I found this very helpful in navigating their wide variety of frames. I highly recommend Dr. Strong and the entire team at First Sight Vision Care for all of your optical needs.

I saw Dr. Strong for an annual check-up. She said my eyes were "misaligned". Dr. Strong hadn't…read morementioned my eyes being "misaligned" during last year's exam (no prior eye drs had ever said that either) so I assumed it was in relation to my need for bifocals or progressives, which we discussed for the first time this year. She said I'd benefit from a special type of lens called Neurolens but it was not covered by insurance and costs about $1000! After the appointment, I wanted to learn more about the lens, as anyone would before they consider spending that much money on something. I became concerned when I saw "misalignment" means strabismus which is being cross-eyed. At this point my curiosity about a lens turned to worrying about what was going on with my eyes so I scheduled an appointment with a strabismus specialist. I went to the appointment prepared with a list of questions like what's causing my eyes to cross, is there anything that can be done to keep it from progressing, etc. The doctor examined my eyes and found no misalignment or other issues that would justify the use of Neurolens. This experience has been very frustrating. I can't help but feel this was a sales pitch to sell Neurolens.
