(Note cleaner used has worked fine with every other pair of glasses ever owned). Also opted for the add-on of magnetic pop on/off sunglasses. They are convenient, but the magnets are well within the field of vision. When complained about the issue was told there was nothing to do but perhaps let the manufacturer know. Finally, despite several visits for re-adjustments they still fit poorly. Back to old glasses. Waste of time and money. If you proceed anyway: Be VERY careful on your selection and stock up on the "magic" cleaner.

He decided to stop accepting new patients 2 weeks prior to my appt. I called to ask if they would honor the appt given it's long standing and was told "no." I asked them to check with Dr. McManus given the length of time the appt had been on the books. They said he had specifically told them to cancel all appts (she emphasized all). She (Megan) seemed certain he wouldn't consider it and wasn't willing to approach him about this. Bottom Line - don't expect this clinic to honor those things they've committed to. In my business, I encourage employees to come to me with these types of concerns and would never have turned down someone in this situation.

Thus, I came to Bella Vision after some colleagues had recommended it. My colleagues had recommended Bella Vision as I was looking for a place that was in downtown Bellevue, preferably walking distance from the office, which Bella Vision is. Plus, I inquired with Bella Vision online about intaking new patients, and they responded within the same week, making the new patient process and scheduling my first appointment super easy. What a breeze! After checking in, I worked with one of the team members who was super friendly and personable. She did my initial assessment of my eye exam, with the different vision tests before I was seen by the doctor. For my appointment, it took longer than an hour, so something to note in case you have a tight schedule. They take VSP, which is the vision insurance I use, so glad to know they were able to look up my account and get my payment squared away.

He explained beforehand what he was looking for, and what he needed from me, which made everything very painless throughout the entire exam. The equipment was clean and well taken care of, the exam itself was completely painless and by far the easiest I had done and I've been wearing contacts or glasses for decades now. He was very transparent in going over the costs, and explained his recommendations. I felt heard and validated and cared for. The selection of frames at his facility left me so many options to look at, with both the simple and the fashion-forward. Anything that I handled, he made sure to sanitize as well.

If a practice expects patients to strictly honor appointment times and threatens financial penalties for delays or cancellations, there should be the same level of respect for patients' time. Communication about delays and better schedule management would go a long way. I understand that medical offices can run behind occasionally, but a full hour without being seen -- especially after stressing punctuality in reminder messages -- is not acceptable. I hope Overlake EyeCare takes patient time as seriously as it expects patients to take theirs.

I visited Overlake about a week or two ago and boy was I disappointed. First I came in to check in for my appt and the girls up front were too busy chatting about their weekend plans to care that I had walked in. I was then greeted with an eye roll from the receptionist because I suppose I interrupted their VERY important conversation. While I was in with Dr. Tony he seemed incredibly distracted. He was nice enough but there was clearly something else on his mind rather than focusing on the task at hand. My biggest reason for giving 1 star was the awful lady who attempted to help me find glasses. No offense, but in order to give an opinion on fashion, one must have fashion sense. I didn't want some wire frame that makes me look old. I wanted a fashionable frame that would enhance my look. She had no idea what she was talking about and I left without purchasing anything. I have since gone to Market Optical and found a fabulous pair of glasses from somebody who cares about my time and needs. I will not be returning to Overlake Eye Designs and I would never recommend them. UPDATE: It looks like bad reviews can be removed on yelp. Shouldn't people know what they're getting into? I gave you one star. Accept it. Who knows how many more one star reviews you've gotten?? Have you hidden them all? read more

It is an absolute pleasure seeing the staff at Overlake Eye Designs every year for my annual exam. Of all the businesses I interact with throughout the year, Overlake Eye Designs is the best. The staff is incredible. They remember me. We have great conversations and they are so accommodating on my whacky prescription and take the time to get everything perfect. I walk in a year later and Eric knows my name. Kristen is awesome and Tony is excellent and dialing in my prescription along with remembering our prior discussions. Just like it was yesterday.
