Typically when I go for my visit I get checked in and end up waiting for 15-20 min, then after they take me back to the first room and machine where they look at your eyes before putting you in the room to wait for the doctor another 20 min which is a bit annoying. When I visited 10/31 for my exam this year, I was on time and told the doctor was running 45 minutes behind so I just waited in my car (although there are places to grab a quick bite nearby) and when I got in I still had to wait another 10-15 min as she was going back and forth between patients. The staff is really nice, and the exam itself is comfortable so the time is really the only reason I took a star off. She's also very patient bc I am a bit sensitive with the bright light at the part of the exam when trying to look into my retina. I don't have glaucoma in my family and she asked me to return for an assessment, but I haven't gone - it just feels a bit odd but I appreciate her being cautious and proactive. I don't purchase my glasses or frames so I can't speak on that part. There is plenty of parking in the lot behind, or a few spots right in front. She has a clean restroom as well.

New Doctor here this time uses my old prescription as a baseline and states "okay 20/20 so we will keep it the same" then changes my contacts vendor/type without asking me. When I explicitly stated I have used these for over a decade and they are what I want to use. Then the Doctor changes my eye glasses prescription a little when she stated it was already 20/20 with the current prescription. What the F! Is she getting kick backs???!!! Never going here again!

I needed glasses so that I could pass the Virginia DMV Vision requirement for a drivers license. The very best ECNV could do for me was 20/50 in both eyes. That fails to meet the DMV requirement. So, I chose to see Dr. Sheikh at Lake Ridge Vision Center and get another exam and prescription. I AM SO VERY GLAD I DID! She was able to correct my vison to 20/25 in the left eye and 20/40 in the right. This satisfies DMV requirements. Dr. Haya Sheikh had no idea she was being compared with ECMV. I was able to order glasses immediately at the Lake Ridge Vision Center. I am so happy that I went there instead of giving up. If you want to substantially improve your vision, avoid ECNV. Go to Lake Ridge Vision Center. They will substantially improve your vision and they're a delight to do business with. Everyone there is super friendly, professional and intelligent!

PLEASE AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT......literally go anywhere else…read more Absolutely terrible experience. This place is nothing but a money grab. I just finished my eye exam and was shocked to find out they refuse to give you your own prescription numbers unless you either buy glasses from them or pay an extra fee just to access YOUR information. I will never be back here and would strongly recommend others avoid this place unless you enjoy being nickel-and-dimed for your own medical information. Honestly pretty disappointed because the tech, and the eye doctor were pretty nice. Just AWFUL business practice.

You may be a VSP member and tell them you are coming in for a VSP routine eye exam, but they will charge whomever they want and then you may have higher co-pays and uncovered fees. I am now $300 out of pocket because of their deceptive practices and am filing a better business bureau report on them since they not only don't care when you explain the impacts of their internal "Office Policy" to them, they will tell you it is on you to file any claims with VSP to get your money covered because they suck!

No problem, things usually cost more when you have extra problems. They told me my preferred Lens was going to be discontinued after end of 2022, so my order would be the last and then I would need to switch to another brand. I ended up also getting some samples of a different brand to try. I was promised 2 weeks for my contacts to arrive. 2 weeks passed, no contacts, i call and explain what's going on, they call the supplier, call me back, say another two weeks but they're working on it. Repeat this for another three months or so. I understand delays but the fact that I have to 1) call them EVERY single time to ask where they are rather than be informed proactively that they are delayed again and 2) explain my story every single time I call, I assumed eye doctors would also use patient notes, is ridiculous. Then, I tried the samples, unfortunately, they didn't work for me and never settled on my eye or were sized incorrectly (blurry no matter how much eye drops). I called about 6 months after my eye exam to see if I could try another brand. They told me I would have to come back in and get resized and pay another $100+. I ended up going to another provider where I walked out the door only payed $20 for a new exam, under $50 for the lens fitting, and no extra charge for astigmatism. AND they gave me two different samples to try from the beginning, followed up how they were feeling etc. Th difference in level of care at Steer Optical and my new vision center is night and day. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

They didn't take us back until almost 12:20. They did the initial screening and sent us back to the lobby. About 20 mins later, the doctor saw is. She dilated our eyes and then sat is in the lobby for an 30 minutes. We sat for almost 2 hours just to get a routine eye visit. I understand that things can get hectic but there were about 4 doctors in the office and definitely a shortage of patients. All to say, it shouldn't have taken 2 hours for the appointment. The doctor was friendly but I know I could have gotten this visit done in an hour or less elsewhere. Suggest to you plan your time accordingly if you decide to go to this location.
