Two years ago my daughter and I went to Vision World for new glasses because it's among the few…read moreplaces that accept my insurance (besides Cohens which is the worst place to go). The staff was polite, and they tried their best to be helpful - not in a way that really suit myself or mu daughter. I need glasses for both distance and reading, so the doctor recommended bifocals - in my early 40s, I did not want bifocals, plus I don't need to wear them for everything - for moderate range, I don't need the glasses. However the doctor and the lady at the desk kinda pushed the issue and the doctor shown me an example where you don't see any embarrassing tell tale lines in the bifocals, so I decided to give them a try. Next part, choosing frames, I purchased frames from a separate retailer prior to the visit knowing what I had in mind, but the doctor said they were too small for bifocals and had the lady at the counter show me some and show my daughter some for her distance only glasses. Thing is, she was only showing me the stuff in the range of my insurance- which would have been fine and appreciated- if I wasn't willing to spend extra out of pocket money to get exactly what I wanted and she nor the doctor seemed to understand I didn't care about extra costs, I didn't like the insurance frames and would have happily spent extra money on a nice pair of frames. Well, I ended up with the insurance frames which weren't the most horrible but not exactly my style and same for my daughter...Fast forward about 10 days when we go back to pick up our glasses. Not happy. The bifocals had that embarrassing line, and they hurt to try to look through but they said to test them out for a couple of weeks that I would get used to them. Fine. At first my daughter thought her glasses were fine too, until she actually tried to see something 8 feet away that was completely blurry - her prescription is either too strong or not strong enough. I tried the bifocals for two weeks and HATED them. I ended up going back to have my prescription separated- a pair of glasses for distance and a separate pair for reading - which the doctor really didn't want to do but because I wasn't happy with the bifocals he done it. Only thing is, my prescription wasn't accurate either- the distance glasses aren't strong enough. The employees here aren't bad, they do seem to try to help you stay within the parameters of your insurance but the most important part - getting the prescription wrong is a big problem. Lens Crafters doesn't take my insurance but they are the only vision center that ever got my prescription right and I got the exact frames I wanted.

You can immediately tell when a place truly cares about their customers, and this location absolutely does. I have to give special recognition to Carol. She was simply exceptional. Her knowledge, patience, and kindness were on another level. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt completely comfortable with every decision. You rarely come across someone who is this professional, this knowledgeable, and this genuinely caring all at the same time. To be honest, I could go on and on about how great she was. Carol is the kind of person every business hopes to have on their team. If more people in customer service were like her, the world would be a much better place. If you're looking for great service and a team that truly cares, this Pearle Vision location is the place to go

I finally got my glasses today, I can now write a review about my experience…read more Pearle Vision is owned by Luxottica, the Black Hand of eyewear and is now one of the largest franchised optical retailers in the USA. My wife and I were getting coffee and decided to stop in to browse. My wife is on a mission to get a funky pair of Burberry frames. A salesperson comes over and starts helping her with the various frames. They were able to find the pair she wanted online. Now, my wife turns her attention to me and says, look at these frames, I think they'd look nice on you. I try them on, sure enough, I look like a runway model. Sold! Now we need to upgrade our eyewear prescription. The person giving me the eye exam, I'm joking with her and we're making small talk. She's finished with the exam and I'm told my glasses should be ready in a few days. A few days pass and I get a call, my glasses are ready. I pick them up and the next day I wear them for the first time. I noticed the long distance was blurry? That night, I went back to the black hand of eyewear and I said check these glasses because my eyes are going batshit crazy. When I was there, the optometrist is working. He gives me a new eye exam and checks the prescription. He said the distance was increased? I guess that's what you get when you joke around with the eye examiner.. The problem was rectified, I just picked up my glasses with the correct lens. Now I can see like a hawk! No harm, no foul on the mistaken prescription. I do have to point out one thing, this place smells like there was a flood? Change the damn carpet, its mildewed!

The guy at the front desk was great. The doctor, I'd think differently…read more She wasn't friendly, she was so uneducated. I moved here so I had to find another Optician. My old doctor told me exactly what was wrong with my Pupil. I decided to test her knowledge and ask her the same thing - she said she didn't know and that it might be hereditary. No, it's not hereditary at all. I can't believe that's the only answer she gave me. Here's the topper.. On Monday, I booked the appointment for Friday afternoon. It was quarter mile down the road from my job. I get off work at 5, so I figured 530 would be perfect, which is when we booked the appointment for. Thursday, I get a phone call asking if I could move my appointment to 6:00. Annoyed - I took it anyway because I really wanted this appointment. For that hour wait, I decided I could go grocery shopping across the street in the mean time. Friday afternoon at 2:00, they called me and asked me if I could come in at 6:30 instead. Now, I'm mad. They told me that the doctor wouldn't be in the office until then. I decided to keep it anyway. So now, I'm waiting in my parking lot for an hour and half. Until I finally drive over there, and wait another 20 minutes because the doctor was running late. I didn't think she was friendly. She threw her purse and other items she ran in with into the room scattered all over the chair. So unprofessional. She then told me why she was late and that she had to get pictures with her son for Prom, so she had to drive to Nassau all the way back to Suffolk County. Are you serious? So she knew about his Prom a very long time ago, but decides to not take the night off and instead piss people off? That's what I call a good office. NOT. Never again will I come back here.
