Although service is under restrictions now this is a large optical shop with a wider selection of frames than the smaller branches. I've looked at Pearle Vision and was impressed as this shop runs a close second. I mentioned I'm having trouble with their frames staying together and inquired as to whether they are all made by the same company. I was quickly assured they are not..of course I received a reply about how reliable the frames I'm using are.

She was very thorough in testing my vision and helping me understand the different lens types to accommodate the presbyopia I've recently started experiencing. I also have dry eyes, which introduces another complication when choosing frames. This clinic is one of the only providers of 7eye frames (for dry eyes) in the twin cities, and Dr. Ko was very patient, taking the time to ensure I understood all of my options before choosing a frame. She also has a wealth of holistic knowledge about dry eyes and was able to provide useful insight around treatments, etc. The entire staff was very kind, friendly, and professional. They're really empathetic and dedicated to providing the best service possible.

They didn't have the frame anymore, but they made me new ones almost exactly like the old ones. ! No charge for a brand new pair of glasses and lenses because I put on the insurance. I have cheaper pairs of Glasses from other places and shechecks the prescription for me and told me they were just fine but there's no way I get this kind of replacement from anywhere else. She knows how much I love my and that my injury means that my other glasses are all too heavy and they got them for me in just a couple days. You won't find a better eye doctor or product.

$1073.99 for an initial 20 minute consultation…read more Dr. Holland was nice enough and I'm sure if you actually require these lenses this place will be fine. I thought I was having a consultation to assess my eyes for a condition which would be helped by scleral lenses. When I asked what the visit would cost as a cash paying customer, I was told they wouldn't know the exact cost because the exact tests they perform aren't known until I am seen by the Dr. Ok fine, can I at least get a ballpark? Is it going to be, like, $300? $1000? The front desk person literally laughed and said "no, much closer to $300". Doesn't sound crazy, so I sign the HIPPA form and walk in. I see Dr. Holland and after a few minutes he determines I do not have the condition for which I came in for, but since I am here he pulls out test lenses and pops one into my eye. He explains how they work and what to expect (improved comfort over soft lenses but same vision as before). Dr. Holland gets up, walks out, and in comes Tiffany the office manager to show the cost of scleral lenses and subsequent appointments should I choose to move forward. She says since I am paying cash, I get a 30% discount. Total cost? $1620 for two lenses and unlimited future visits to get the fit "just right". I tell her I need to check with my HSA on reimbursement and think of this is right for me. She asks me to sign a document saying she explained the costs (mistake #1) I asked to pay for today's visit on the way out of the office and they said they would prefer to bill insurance first. I said that I am certain my insurance will not cover this visit; they said "we will just try it - you never know what they might cover!" (mistake #2). It was quite surprising to receive a bill several weeks later for $1073.99 for my 20 minute visit. Apparently I agreed to move forward with the lenses and unlimited future adjustment appointments by signing the document which explained go-forward costs. Expensive lesson learned. I spoke with Tiffany, the office manager about the bill asking if there was some sort of mistake and clarification on what was sent. She claims that I agreed to move forward - absolutely not, but she says it's my word against hers so... whatever? I asked if I can at least get the 30% cash paying discount - nope the best she can do is 10% since I am NOT MOVING FORWARD. So I guess I am, like, being punished for not moving forward with a treatment that Dr. Holland deemed unnecessary? Cool. I'm sure that Cornea and Contact Lens Institute will be in business for many years operating this way because, really, what can a patient do once this place sends the bill? You pay and they profit. Other things you should know: * Your $1000+ consultation (and I, guess, fitting?) appointment is only good for 90 days - unlike a regular contact lens rx which is typically good for 2 years * they seem to pack an extraordinary amount of work into 20 minutes. * if you happened to be swindled by this operation you can argue for a 10% discount * oh, and a consultation costs $1073.99 as of 8/2021

I am pleased to add another perfect review for this business. I just got vision insurance for the…read morefirst time and was in the market for a new prescription. I checked the web site and saw that this place was nearby. Contact lenses in the name? Five minutes away? Yes please! I was very impressed with their COVID precautions--definitely the strongest I've seen: phone screen before entering the building, masks for all, lots of hand washing and sanitizer, and temperature and blood oxygen checks. Everyone there was friendly, courteous, and communicative. I had the first appointment of the day, and although I had set aside an hour as a buffer, I was in and out in less than three quarters of an hour. The exam was thorough, and while I didn't get met eyes dilated this time (and can't comment on their retinal exams), I can say that the pressure test was the least unpleasant I have experienced--no horrible air puff! Dr. Holland recommended some new contact lenses for me, and I am testing them out. So far, so good! I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new place to get an eye exam.

I had been seeking a premium IOL solution to a single eye…read morecataract situation with astigmatism at multiple providers in the twin cities but there were anomalous shadows that caused each to agree only to a double treatment (both eyes) solution using only basic IOLs. This was not going to work for me for practical reasons. At Edina Eye clinic Dr. Chistopher Stefonowicz heard me out and after completing an exam offered to implant a premium toric IOL with confidence that the shadows were not expected to be anything that would contraindicative to a premium IOL solution. Furthermore, in the event that anything in the procedure would suggest otherwise, he even offered to go further and in that case implant the basic IOL and reimburse for the prepaid premium IOL. Not only were no issues encountered in the procedure, but thanks to the single toric premium IOL I now enjoy 20/20 uncorrected vision in the treated eye and 20/20 vision overall (using a toric contact lens in the untreated eye) thanks to his skills and willingness to work with the needs of the patient.
