I had a terrible experience with Dr. Dalporto. Not only was she unprofessional, but she provided…read moreme with the wrong contact lens prescription for 2 years. I had difficulty seeing anything up close with the contacts I wore that were based on her prescription. Reading books, checking my watch, or reading on my phone was impossible due to the blurriness. It bothered me for 2 years, and I was very frustrated with the issue. I asked her to adjust the prescription several times. She made slight adjustments, which were not helpful. She finally told me she could do no more, or I would have trouble seeing things far away. She also told me that it was normal to have blurry vision while wearing contacts when looking at things close up because contacts are different than glasses. This was incorrect information! I wasn't sure what the problem was, but I figured it was my eyes. Eventually, due to the discomfort, I gave up wearing contacts unless it was absolutely necessary. The issue was finally resolved when I took a trip to Taiwan and consulted an optometrist there who told me that the prescription Dr. Dalporto gave me was entirely wrong and too strong. They said that she should not have simply given me a prescription based on whatever the vision test machine determined. Every prescription needs to be adjusted based on each individual's lifestyle and habits so that anything--both close up and at a distance--can be seen clearly and comfortably. I received a new prescription, and when I tried the new contacts, I immediately noticed a huge difference. They were so comfortable, and I had no trouble seeing or reading things on a computer, on my phone, or close up. The problem I had with blurriness that had been bothering me for years was finally resolved! Now I can wear contacts again--every day, all day. I went back to Dr. Dalporto and asked her to adjust the prescription on file based on the new prescription. She simply copied the numbers directly from the Taiwanese prescription and checked my vision. It was 20/20, of course. Had she actively tried her best to help me achieve the most comfortable and accurate prescription years ago, I would not have suffered so much with blurry vision when trying to see things close up! When I complained, the office manager was cold and impatient and didn't apologize for all the trouble I had been through. Instead, she asked me, "Is there anything else?" At this point, I was so fed up with this mess and so shocked at the customer service I received that I decided to change optometrists completely for my own vision care. One of the fundamental jobs of an optometrist is to give correct, comfortable contact lens prescriptions to patients. If they fail to provide an accurate prescription, it raises serious doubts about their professional competence. This experience proved to me that Dr. Dalporto doesn't care about her patients' vision, nor does she try her best to solve the vision issues they have. Instead, she is very passive, only does what she is asked to do (but poorly), and performs vision tests that a robot could do. In a word, she is incompetent. Don't go to Dr. Dalporto. She is totally unprofessional and won't give you a correct prescription!

I called to make an emergency eye appointment. They don't take those. I had never been there before…read moreso they took all my info and made me the next available appointment. I gave them my vision insurance info and they said they accepted it. I got a call a few days later by a women at the front desk asking for my insurance. She told me the call center said that (why is a call center telling ppl if they approve of ins or not???) she said she would look into it and get back to me. I never heard from her. I called the AM of my appointment which I got a text confirming the appt but the office had never heard of me and didn't have my appointment. The women at the front desk were beyond rude! I would never even make another appointment there again.

Dr Faye took her time to explain to us the health of our eyes and gave us wonderful recommendations. She educated us mainly about the condition of our eyes and why they are this way and how we can improve our vision. She was very knowledgeable about the conditions we had. She doesn't push us to buy unless we're ready. They both provide top notch customer service and feel like we're family. Both owners do it all from the beginning to the end process to give us the most personalized best quality service! All of their eye glass selection come from small business, not big corporate brands that charge more for less quality. These eye glass selection are designer and exceptional quality at great prices! I selected a titanium eye glasses handmade in Japan from a small business. It is better quality than my old name brand Oakley glasses for a better price. I had a way better personal customer experience here than at Lens Crafters which I spent more money at. Lens Crafters I was just a number and did not get the personal attention. I highly recommend if you're looking for an optometrist! I am recommending all my family and friends for the best personal customer experience here! This is the place that both owners care about their clients and will spend the extra time to have you satisfied when you leave. They remember your name and will get to know you personally. This is why the eye exam is an hour long to get to know you personally to cater the correct diagnosis and solution for your eyes! They will guarantee your satisfaction for your glasses and contacts or they will replace them until you are satisfied! Plenty of parking with lot and street parking. Stop by the taco restaurant next door if you're hungry.

They're so friendly, personable and Winnie the dog just adds to the experience. They've got a unique, curated selection of eye wear and I was able to find new frames. I appreciate their attention to detail and the teaching provided. I learned a lot and also that my prescription was off before. They provide ample time with you and I didn't feel rushed, unlike at other offices. I've frequented several other optometry offices in the North Shore and this is the best by far! The office is also beautifully designed, feels warm and inviting. They're passionate about caring for patients and also do a lot of volunteer work. I want to find reasons to go back and chat with Dr. Faye and Shwin again.

Dr.Ron Henderson is awesome! He is a rare Master of optometry with years of experience and the…read morewillingness to search for just the right fit for his patient's prescription. I was referred by my internist, Dr. Michael Caughron. The referral was a response to my question,"Do you know a good Optometrist?" Dr. Henderson and his staff have exceeded my expectations for a professional, caring and safe facility. His thoughtful implementation of Covid protections should allow anyone to feel as safe as possible during this time of Covid 19. Every person is interviewed before entering the office. Everyone has their temperature taken. It is mandatory to wear a face mask. Every chair is wiped clean before a person sits in it. Patients leave the building via a separate exit. His staff is wonderful. I was trying in my new contacts and somehow the lens dropped on the table and bounced onto the floor. The first Assistent tried to find the lens and recruited two more office staff to find the lens. The lens was clear which makes the hard contact lens almost impossible to find. I had given up , but they were successful!!! I have a difficult prescription and a previous experience of the optometrist giving up on me. Dr. Henderson is patient and exacting and has answered all my many questions. I can now sit enjoying my cappuccino and see clearly three blocks away.

They won't tell you when your contacts get delivered. You just gotta wait! The least they could do…read moreis give a date! Update: They said it was in transit and would be delivered this past Saturday, they were not. Now they say they are going to be SHIPPED tomorrow. How do you go from telling me they shipped to telling me they didn't? Who runs the communication over there? I would just like an honest up front answer instead of this delay delay delay until it comes in. This is my second straight issue with this contact. Last time it took 3 months to get and apparantely your company forgot to even order them initially! So many delays and poor communication. Would it kill ya to at least send a text or email saying you've received my order? Never got that either even though you said I'd have it.

My last exam and order was at a national chain, so I figured I'd support local businesses and…read moresplurge to get a pair I really liked. Got an exam and ordered a pair 02/21. Was told it would be a few days and they may arrive by the end of the week. Didn't hear back the next week, didn't hear back the following week. After calling, I was told my order would be ready 03/07. Picked up my glasses and as soon as I got them home and cleaned, I realized there was a pinpoint dot in the coating on one lens. Came back to drop them off to be repaired on 03/09. Was told they'd be repaired in a few days. Called 03/16 and was told they'd call me back. Called 03/17 after not hearing from them and was told that "maybe they'd be ready by the end of the week". I did everything right. I went to a local business, I spent almost $500, I called every step of the way to remind them. I got FAR better service at a chain and it was free. Last time I ordered glasses I spent nothing out of pocket and they arrived in a week and a half. It's been almost a month, I paid $500, and I still don't have my glasses. And no one who works here returns phonecalls. Don't patronize this shop. The service is worse than a chain and in the four times I've had to visit the store, no one has been in it. Small wonder.

This is the worst practice I've been to and I've had glasses or contacts for 25 years and many…read moreoptometrists. The first thing the optometrist says to me, even before asking my name, looking at my file, or doing an exam is if I want to try daily contacts. This is not based on anything medical. He says they're much better and they only cost 30% more than monthly which I currently use. Well he can't do simple math because I found out later that they are actually 300% more- even with rebates and insurance. The lenses on the equipment are dirty and cloudy which makes the eye exam harder to do. They ask me if I want to try daily's. I said sure why not I'll try them. And they will not give me a prescription until I try them. Well it's nice but not enough for me to pay over $800 a year for contacts. I request a written prescription so I can buy my regular contacts online where it is half the price. They send over a prescription for a specific brand of daily contacts. I say no I want monthly. They say they can't give me a prescription for monthlies unless I try them. What?! They never told me this when giving me the sample. I didn't know I was committing to getting daily contacts when they handed me 5 days worth of lenses. They insist and say other optometrists don't care as much about their customers which is BULLSHIT. So I have to go in AGAIN and get the sample. After a few weeks, I request a prescription for monthlies. They send me the daily prescription again!! So I ask them again- please send me a monthly prescription. They do send one but it is again BRAND SPECIFIC to B&L. I didn't realize that until I tried to order myself new contacts online and it was denied. Because I tried to buy a different brand of monthly contacts that I prefer and know very well after using contacts for over 20 years. So how many calls and visits does it take to get the single prescription I need? With all of my previous optometrists- it was one simple email after my eye exam. None of them have tried to sell me super expensive, brand specific daily contacts. BEWARE OF THIS UNETHICAL AND INCOMPETENT PRACTICE.

Harthan since 2019, I suffer from Sjögren's Syndrome and required transplant of the cornea on both eyes and prevented me from seeing, she recommended the use of scleral lenses took her time to explain my problem and condition of my vision and the way the scleral lens would benefit my vision, I was depending on my family members to guide me places but after Dr. Harthan provided the scleral lens I can move on my own and go places without the help of any oner by my side. I am very thankful for her care and her knowledge and would encourage anyone needing an Optometrist the Glenview Vision Center is your place. I definitely recommend this place. You will SEE the difference

Another top notch exam and great service by Doc, interns and Marylin who are all friendly,…read moreassertive and know their stuff. Had a huge misunderstanding and took it up with BCBS and will be cancelling that shitty insurance as they're contracting as well as with a few other insurance companies that look good on the surface. Not naming names. Doc is the best, he had a sidekick intern as well as office staff there just after COVID. Everyone was super friendly and the new office staff girl was super laid back - the intern explained everything then Doc came in and did his thing. Think of a sporting event - he's there and on the spot. He comes in, does his thing - explains it all and lets the intern go from there. Due to the discrepancy with BCBS I footed the bill myself. He'd also take your old favorite lenses and replace them but remember if the frames are too old (just send pics in and go from there) then you're outta luck. He said about two (2) weeks as they're super busy, sending orders out to labs then other places to get the tints, etc.. Got a call today, end of the day before the holiday. Came in, popped the frames on and everything was perfect. Not sure why people are complaining on here. Doc is one of the top 5 if not top 3 eye docs on the North Shore; and he educates and teaches as well as covers sporting events and all sorts of interesting avenues. Talk about experience, there ya go. In the end I called BCBS today and laid into them. When I'd call to complain initially, they took the insurance complaint against the Doc when it was against BCBS. Called them today and told them to clean up their act, stop the lies and bullshit and drop this so-called claim and listen to the call as everything was documented wrong. BCBS IS horrible.
