    glasses with frame bent by MyEyeDr staff
    Christina S.

    I walked into this location of MyEyeDr in late 2024 to fill a prescription for new eyeglasses. I went to this store because my insurance covered it and because the location was convenient to Metro. The sign out front said that walk ins were welcome. When I arrived, staffers were busy scanning eyeglasses. I walked around for a while, looking at frames. When I was ready to select frames, I waited and waited and waited. Eventually, someone assisted me and helped me to select frames. I ordered frames and paid the entire balance upfront. I was told they would call me when my glasses arrived. This call came in the evening, the day I made the trip across town for another errand. It took me over a month to find the time to get back across town to pick up my glasses. When I arrived, I waited and waited and waited again, and when someone finally bothered to help me, they could not find my eyeglasses! They LOST MY GLASSES! I ordered new glasses and picked them up promtly when they were ready. The fit wasn't great, so I asked the person who helped me to adjust them so they didn't slide down my nose. This person BENT THE FRAME of the glasses, rather than adjusting the nose pads, which is the customary fix for this issue. I didn't realize this until I got home. I seldom wear the glasses because the bent frame misaligns the lenses and distorts my vision. I will be taking these to a different optician for repair. I will not use this optician again and cannot recommend them for basic optician services.

    My glasses after MyEyeDr snapped the end off.

    I have no issues with the quality of the examination or my in-person interactions with Dr. Glasser…read more(several appointments over many years). My issue is the way I was treated on my last visit by his assistant after it became apparent to her that I would not be buying frames or lenses from the practice. Her attitude immediately changed when I asked for a prescription. She stood up, went to ring up my copayment, and when she returned with the prescription she remained standing and was abrupt with me when I asked her to explain the change in my prescription, which was in a format I was not familiar with based on what I received in prior visits. I'm an educated person who wants to know how things work and what numbers actually mean, not merely to be told that "any qualified optician will understand" the prescription. I was made to feel stupid and like I was an imposition so I left and fed the prescription into ChatGPT which politely explained it to me, including how a progressive prescription can be translated into single vision distance and reading prescriptions, and what the numbers mean. AI was more polite and patient with me than the assistant. Despite having no issues with the doctor himself, I will not be returning to this practice in the future. The barriers between patients and medical information are evaporating due to AI. Doctors would be well advised to ensure that they and their staffs at least match the courtesy of ChatGPT. Update: In response to Dr. Glasser's comment, all I can say is that it would have taken his assistant less than a minute to sit down and politely explain to me the meaning of the numbers. Regardless of whether I'm dealing with an optometrist or a cardiologist, I take it upon myself to gain a thorough understanding of my heath, which is what ChatGPT provided and the assistant did not. If the doctor doesn't want to take constructive feedback on such a simple point, then I suppose that my decision to go elsewhere is the right one.

    Stay away. He made stupid jokes ("Do you drive? Well, don't drive in my neighborhood!") although I…read moresee well enough to drive (within the legal limit). Generally made me feel bad about myself. In the end, I paid $270 for an eye exam (twice what nearby places are charging) and the prescription was incorrect. I went to a cheaper nearby place and got the correct prescription, but it cost me several weeks of eyeglasses that give me headaches and dizziness.

My visit/purchasing experience has consistently been enjoyable and excellent. On my last eye exam with Dr. Burt Mazzia, he worked with me in multiple sessions to find the perfect fitting contact lens brand and prescription. Thank you for being so caring and patient with my fitting Dr. Burt. You Rock! Paul is the best optician I know. He is affable and talented in finding a frame that brings out my best features or gives me a new look. I have worked with him for over ten years and he is consistently fresh and at his best. I recently took my frame to be adjusted after I bent it; he fixed it like brand new in a jiffy with cheers. I also had a chance to work with Avideh, she is wonderful to work with and welcoming. There is a frame she recommended I would like to try on my next purchase. The Voorthuis team has been great to work with. I recommend them for your next eye exam or eye glass purchase.

    Wonderful experience!…read more Dr Lamothe was super patient with me and explained the why behind everything he was doing. I had a redness problem that another eye dr had dismissed as no biggie and Dr Lamothe let me know it was a gland issue and got me a prescription and other remedies to help relieve it. I'll be back!!

    I've gone here before (good exp w Lamothe) but haven't had eye exam in at least two yrs . I called…read moreto make an appt and spoke w the office mgr/ receptionist. He had a flat affect and set a negative stage. I said I prob need more than a routine eye exam but was happy to start w that. He lmk that a dry eye test isn't covered by ins (which is fine) and not to expect that I could do both in one visit (also fine). He then said, the appt will be 15 min tops, so it's not a time to ask questions. I said, of course I want to be able to ask a couple questions, espec bc of eye irritation lately. He said, "I see your insurance is (x) and that only pays us like $60 per visit. We can't give patients longer than 15, we'd go out of business" (!) I couldn't believe it. The rudeness and the gall of mentioning my coverage resulted in poor profit for them. I suggested he NOT say those things to new or returning patients and he said he was trying to manage expectations, that patients "always complain" they want to be seen longer but it's not doable. Talk about poor patient relations/ customer service. I realize what the medical system is up against w insurance is rough, but never has a public-facing clinic employee been so dissuading about the care their provider provides. I can't NOT recommend this place enough; take your business to an office that will value it.
