Love the location! Love the doctor! Love the clean, efficient, small, store! The bummer was that the young lady selling me the glasses said "okay so with the ones you are getting your copay is $150.00" and i know, my glasses are 100% covered by my awesome insurance. So i inquired and discovered she had upgraded me on one thing that I did not request. Is she paid commission? Or bonus for the up-sell and taking advantage and being shady? You lost a customer over that I'm sorry to say. PS when I picked up my zero copay glasses the guy fitting me was friendly and helpful. read more

I really liked Dr W - happy for him that he retired, not so happy for me. I saw Dr Tran (I think) last year and she was very nice so I was going to continue going here. This year I made my appointment earlier in the year - it was abruptly canceled with no explanation. When I went to reschedule via the website it would not complete the process and kept erroring out. Coupling this with the unexplained cancelation, I decided it was a sign to go elsewhere. I picked a place closer to my work on Blue Diamond and was very happy with that experience. Its a shame because I literally live a few houses away ... and its still not worth the effort. read more

This place used to be great. When the old doctor retired, this place went down the drain. I went to go for my annual eye exam to get new contacts. The doctor tells me that I have to "compromise" my vision to find something that'll "mostly" work. So I get the contacts. They won't be available for over a week, so they give me 5 days worth of trials. You don't have to be a math genius to know that 5 days isn't going to cover me until my contacts come in. They tell me they don't have any more "trials" to offer me. I pickup my contacts and start wearing them. After about a week, they aren't "mostly" working. I'm pretty much blind. So I go in yet again for a checkup. This time the doctor prescribes me something completely different. My vision is better (why the doctor didn't at least get this right the first time is beyond me), but I still can't see completely better. At this point I'm beyond frustrated and just want my revised contacts where I can "see better" so I can take my business elsewhere. This time the doctor wants me to wait 3 weeks until I get the contacts they order for me. And they had no trials to give me to last me that time! So they said they'd order me some trials. So I wear my old bad contacts for a week until the trials come in. I come back a week later. Guess how trials these guys tried giving me? You guessed it: 5. I feel like I'm being punked - is this a joke!? After I realize I'm not being punked, I ask them to give me more trials. They give me 5 more days and say they don't have any left. So I'm still short. Unbelievable. So it looks like I had to wear my daily contacts for 2 days each to last me until I see the doctor again to pickup my contacts. On my next visit, the doctor proceeds to be shocked and says "don't tell me that" when I told her I wore each contact twice. So I told her "well I wouldn't have had to if you guys had given me the proper number for trials to last between appointments." Finally, after about 8 back and forth visits, I pickup my "I can see better but still not great" contacts. My wife & I will never return to this place. This place is clueless and incompetent. I recommend everyone to stay clear of this place! read more

Been going here for many years now. Thank God the new management is just as fantastic as the old guard. Dr. Tran is a commensurate professional and an overall great lady. I know my eyes are changing every year and my prescription needs a little boost with every set of glasses I get. I always have my AO aviator frames and they provide the lenses. As an old guy my new license requirements here in Vegas require me to see my internist and eye doc. So this was the encouragement I needed to see both. I guess they dont want Mr. Magoo driving around in Vegas. AND BTW IF you know who Mr. Magoo is you are as old as me. LOL read more

The office staff at this location is excellent! Everyone from the front office staff to the Dr. are friendly as well as professional. I took my mom there & she is not able to hear well so I went back with her to the various offices for her vision tests. Fabio the pre-tester was so nice & patient. Dr. Sandy Tran was wonderful as well. I highly recommend this office! read more

it was great and I love the service thank u again the people here know what to do and they're great at there job and I like it whenever I'm here for my checkup and they check my eyes to help me read more

I already had issues with this office when I went in for new prescription. They are very poor in communicating and following up and giving updates on the status of prescription glasses. I waited almost 4 weeks for my prescription . I did not even bother going back there to fit my new prescription but instead I requested for them to ship it. I paid for my shipping and you would think that someone would follow up and check if I need adjustment . Well after almost a month Janice was calling to check if I needed an adjustment. I did not even wanna speak to anyone because it useless at this point. I just won't go back there. For people that had good experience that's great. read more

Always so warm and helpful! The staff made sure to help me any way they could. Dr. Tran was polite and answered all my questions about my perscription read more

Omg omg omg! I love the dr here she is cool and I felt so safe here and I felt so welcomed. I also felt like she too my concerns seriously and felt so happy and exited leaving the office. Love this place so so much read more

Office staff 10/10. Doctor 11/10. I was worried when I heard some people saying their eye doctor stopped taking my eye insurance, but I'm so glad this place still takes superior vision. The office staff is always so kind and will go above and beyond to help. The doctor is incredibly knowledgeable and patient when I ask a million questions. I hope this doctor lives forever, because even though I'm still under 30, when my eyes go wonky when I'm old, this is the place I want to get help from. I've only been going here a few years, but I've been wearing glasses since elementary school and this is the best place I've gone to, hands down. read more

Very happy! Used to go to Warby Parker across town for optometry and glasses. Moved because of my insurance. Cannot complain about anything. I've gone in a couple times for adjustments and they make sure everything is great. Definitely like coming here! Staff is very friendly and helpful read more

I absolutely love this optometrist! I've been going to him for many years now, and he's amazing. There's been the same lady at the front desk every since I began. I've never had to wait long at all to be called back to the chair, and he's always been thorough and courteous. Best optometrist in Vegas, hands down! read more

These people take way too long to make a pair of glasses. When I finally received them I realized my bifocal was way too low. Took them back, was assured that they would be fast tracked. It has been over but a month without even a phone call making this 2:+ months and still having to raise my glasses to read anything. Will my prescription be obsolete by the time I get them? Time will tell. read more

I have been a client of this business for many years. I recently came in to get my yearly exam ( a few months ago) and have had to return 3x to get new contacts cause couldn't find ones at my strength that did what we needed them to do. I came in today to order my contacts (have a $150 optical credit on insurance) only to be told they stopped taking my Insurance ONE week ago! WHY WOULD YOU NOT CALL YOUR CLIENTS and tell them, especially when they have an order pending!!!! I have had numerous conversations with the office people and the dr about my Insurance credit as well as finding me the perfect fit for my contacts. They knew I had culinary and chose to leave me out to dry. Now I have to try and find someone on my network to take my order and use my insurance. I am LIVID they didn't bother to call their long term clients and tell them to get their orders in. I was pending in the system and they KNEW it! Because of this they get 1 star. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! No loyalty to clients. read more

Wonderful team! I go there for my son so far and I had my eyeglass screw come off and I walked in to se if they can repair it, the ladies in the front did not even hesitate they helped me right away. I will be back to see them for myself and my other son. I 10/10 recommend them. Thank you optical effects for being amazing! read more

Super informative and super helpful every time I come through, the staff is always friendly and willing to present you with each and every option at your disposal read more

I've been going here for 6 years ever since I moved to Vegas. The doctor is so kind and professional. I feel safe that he can take care of me. I am also very happy and satisfied with the amazing loving staff there as well! Bought 3 pairs of glasses where I get so many compliments. 5 stars all the way! read more

The staff here are very welcoming and professional. They have a nice variety of glasses as well and a nice office. I've been to several other eye doctors in the area and haven't truly liked one until going here. read more

My 6 year old has his very first check up here and I'm so glad we found this place. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The doctor was so patient with my son too. Going to make this the whole families optometrist. Thank you! read more

I went to Optical Effects my glasses were old and broken. Dr. Wlodek and his staff were amazing. Everything is slow now because of supply chain but they delivered my new beautiful glasses they helped me pick out 2 weeks early! Highly recommend them!!! read more

Beware read more

So far so good with this place. They get a little pricy if you like nice frames like I do. I have some what of a glasses fetish. I have many and I love them. The last major glasses purchase I made went on here. My last pair lasted me 10 years or so, I got them from lens crafters. I had new insurance now and after checking out a few places I came to this one and was very impressed by their selection. I ended up getting two pairs. When you get something expensive that you are going to use everyday, get two! That and I couldn't decide. So i got a cat eye pair of Pradas, and solid black frame by MK. Came out to like 600 dollars. With special none glare lenses and all... Made two payments. Will get new lenses after two years, its offered with my purchase. Love these glasses. This place is super helpful! read more

I've been going here for many years and even though it is a 10-mile trip in one direction, it is worth every inch of it. "Doc" Wlodek is superb and his staff is professional, of course, but incredibly friendly, compassionate and helpful. Most importantly, they are kind enough to laugh at my stupid jokes. He might not be able to "cure" some vision problems, but I'm confident that he and his staff will give you the very BEST possible help in dealing with them, whatever they may be. Make an appointment with him today, because your eyesight is much too important to ignore. read more

I was with another optometrist for 10+ plus years and had to find another optometrist to go to because I started a new job and am now under and new insurance that my previous doctor is not in network with. I searched the insurance portal and the majority that came up was "lens crafters". I had been there before and did not like the service. I was really starting to feel hopeless in finding a good doctor that I felt I could trust. I luckily came across this office and did some research and saw what amazing reviews Dr.Woldek has ! I am so happy I found this place the staff is so friendly and definitely know exactly what they're doing. Everyone explained everything well and was very through. Dr. Woldek was so nice and friendly as well. He took his time to get to know me as a new patient and find out exactly what I wanted from this visit. He made sure that everything was to my liking and I was comfortable in my new contacts. I would highly recommend giving them a chance at being your new vision provider! I felt no pressure in getting something I didn't want and they made sure I would get the best deal on contacts. Thank you so much! Also ! They are so an amazing job at handling Covid, their system really works in ensuring everyone is safe and comfortable. read more

The staff here has been amazing for years. They've been taking care of my children and I for the last nine years. Dr. Llodek has been able to get me in whenever there's an issue and helped to determine I had a serious infection that needed to be reviewed by a specialist. The staff always has a smile on their face and while they may not have the cheapest prices on frames, their service and quality make all the difference. read more

I used to come to this location in college. I liked Dr. Wlodek and his eye exams so I came back once I got vision insurance again. I feel he's very thorough and answers questions. My only complaint...I wasn't in love with any of the frames. Overall, nice, small optical shop. read more

Friendly staff, clean environment & state of the art technology. Cold water bottles are offered. Dr. W is very professional. However, lenses & frames are very expensive. read more

I am extremely happy to find this office and the whole family will be coming here. I brought my daughter in for an exam and was surprised that the doctor said she doesn't even need to wear glasses because her vision is fine. Her last exam was at LensCrafters and we were told she needed glasses to wear for reading. It is refreshing to find a place that doesn't try to sell you something you don't need. Being so happy with her experience I decided to book myself an exam and was able to be seen on the spot. The doctor told me I did not need to change my prescription. WoW. Every single time I went to LensCrafters I was told I needed new glasses. This office is not out to up sell you and tell you that you need something you don't. I would highly recommend this optometrist. His office staff is super friendly as well. read more

Recently I went to Dr. Wlodek for my annual eye check and new glasses. I am very happy with Dr. Wlodek and his staff as well as the product and services I bought. They were great to work with and were knowledgeable. They were not pushing an specific product. All in all I trust Dr. Wlodek and his staff. read more

Highly recommended. Making an appointment is very easy they get you in very quickly. Love the optometrist and all of the staff. Everyone is very educated, they provide you the best price in town, they educate you on what your insurance will cover and what your benefit card pays for. Very well-stocked, lots of different options and great price. We've bought contact lenses, I glasses, sunglasses and work safety glasses from this location. We loved how they fit our glasses for us. A few days after purchasing my Ray-Ban's I accidentally drop them and broke one of the lenses. It only took one week and they had a new lens for me. Love the service, love the staff fair amount of parking very knowledgeable all-around great place. read more

I've been going here for years. They are amazing with or without insurance. I was worried when I lost my insurance about pricing but they are very affordable and accommodating. Every single person there is friendly and professional. Highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Dr. Wlodek for at least 10-12 years now. He is patient, kind, caring and always makes sure your eyes are as healthy as they can be. He even helped me find a laser surgeon for my corrective surgery. Even though I no longer wear glasses, I still go to Dr. Wlodek for regular check ups and will never go anywhere else. read more

I was up sold on bifocals which I told them I didn't really want, but they convinced me to try them. Then I find out my readers would have been 100% covered. But the bifocals cost me $130 out of pocket. I got them. Took me about a day of hating them to realize they had measured my eyes wrong. While she was measuring me she said something sarcastic "I do know what I am talking about". Turns out she can't measure either. I went on to Amazon and paid $13 for a pair of readers that I love, and I am so upset about how I was treated, I told them I don't even want to pick up my readers. I'm out $130 and still happier with my $13 readers I got on Amazon. If you go here be firm, get a second opinion. They will try to upsell you. read more
