After wearing glasses almost my entire life I never had an eye doctor that I actually liked until…read morethis one. I at sold glasses. They're cheap with a huge selection. I was sad when many vision insurance changed and I could no longer go there. After Walmart I tried Lens Crafters which I hated! Comparing this place with both of those places, the doctor is way friendlier. They have convenient times for appointments. They're cheaper than Lens Crafters, but not as cheap as Walmart... or maybe it's just that they don't have as large of a selection as Walmart. One thing they do differently is that you don't look at the wall to find your own glasses. You give them some information on what you'd like, then they bring you a bunch of glasses to try. I can't decide if I like this better or not but I did get glasses that I like and I didn't take nearly as long picking them out since I didn't have to find them on my own. Overall I'd say I like this place over most Eye Doctors and would recommend them to anyone.

I visited Edgewood Eye Center for the second time today and had such a positive experience that I…read morewanted to write a review. The first time was in December and I got my normal eye exam. I was able to get an appointment quickly and thought the office staff and doctor were nice and on time. It was a great visit. Today I visited again with my son who is about three years old. I was a little nervous for my toddler to go through the exam and get his eyes dilated, but had some concerns about his eyesight and so thought it was for the best. Everyone in the office greeted him and helped him feel comfortable before and during his exam. The administrative staff gave him special attention and told him he was brave during the dilation process and offered stickers to distract him. The staff person that started the exam and the doctor both were excellent with him and made him feel comfortable the whole time. It was such a relief to me that they made the process so easy!

The eye doctor is a really cool person and fun to talk to. She gives honest advice about if you really need to update your glasses or not. At the front counter, Katy, is the nicest person and works hard to apply your insurance and any discounts to get you a deal. I walked out with a new, free pair of glasses thanks to her diligence. If you need an eye exam, this is a great option.

She explained that there is only one line to call and she is the main person to receive those calls. During my 15ish minute visit the phone rang about 5 times. I completely understand her experience (though she was extremely positive about it). I also believe there has to be a better way to connect with this service and communicate with the Doctor. Just because of Kate, I added two more stars - thank you Kate for being awesome!

I recently moved to Cincinnati and needed a new optimist. After conducting research for about a…read moremonth, I landed on Dr. Hamillton, Hyde Park Optometrist. My eye exam was the MOST thorough and Dr. Hamilton explained every step with precision and humor. Importantly, I learned why eye glasses ordered from lesser committed "eye professional" offices do not work as prescribed - they are made with inferior plastics - something you will not see endorsed from Dr. Hamilton. Only the best because he and his team truly care about their clients wellbeing. My research paid off and I hope this review helps you on your journey to find the right optometrist. Truly an exceptional experience!

My husband and I actually booked back to back appointments. I haven't been to the eye doctor since I was in 5th grade, mainly because I claim to have perfect vision, but after not being able to see (especially while driving) my family banded against me and made me go (insert mad face). And I'll admit, i was mainly not going because I thought it was because I was getting older and/or possibly because I am scared to death of that eye puff machine. Basically I'm Rachel off friends in the episode "The One With Joey's Big Break" and also where Rachel goes to the eye doctor, gets some drops and everyone has to hold her down to put them in, yeah that's actually based on my life story. ANYWAY -- the doc tells me the eye puff machine is old skool and that technology is no longer in use. Now they use these super high tech camera things and it's not *as* scary. After the camera screenings etc. the eye exam was where I seriously almost lost my shit. Dr. Guappone 1) looks like Bill Nye. 2) IS THE SMARTEST MOST ARTICULATE MAN ON EARTH (well at least in the eye doc world). He didn't give me some BS medical terms. He actually broke down what was wrong in terms I could understand and even demonstrated on a model, and as a visual learner I was super appreciative of this! Also as others have said, he is very thorough. When I started off my saying I was a perfectionist, he went on to say he was too - and hence the through exam to make sure that the exam matched up to the camera readings. I just could not believe the amount of time he took to explain both to me and my husband about our situations, preventative health, and plan moving forward. It was a breath of fresh air and seriously eliminated (well almost) my fear of going to the doctor. I cannot reccomend him enough! The only negative and -1 star. I felt like the glasses selection was a bit outdated. They had some trendy designers, but not nearly enough or in the styles I wanted. Although the young man helping me was funny and enthusiastic I was put off by how insistent he was when trying to get me to purchase glasses through them. I literally just learned I needed glasses, if I have to wear them on my face every day - I want and need to find the ones I actually like! And again, as a perfectionist do some reserach first. Albeit super friendly, would lay off the sales pitch. Overall cannot reccomend this place enough and I will certainly be back for my ongoing check-ups!

Starting with making an appointment with Tammy for an eye exam her warm welcoming voice will make you feel at home. Meeting Dr. Allen, O.D. was another great experience! I normally do not test well and end up with a pair of glasses that either I will not wear, or can not function because of the Rx not being what I need. Dr. Allen, O.D. gave me an extensive exam and answered all my questions. When I received my glasses (they came in before I expected them to arrive ) not only looked sharp, but I could finally read! With Tammy's help, I decided I wanted the sunglass clip and the computer clip since I work with computers most of the day. My experience with Schroer Eye Center was better than I could imagine. The customer service was over the top and would recommend Schroer's to anyone who is looking for a great pair of glasses.

Whenever I shop at Walmart I pass by this place. I asked my friend that works at Walmart if she had any problems and highly recommended them. She told me the pricing is VERY reasonable. So I decided to try them out. I didn't need an appointment. I just walked in on a weekday after work. Elijah helped me both times (drop off and pickup). I already had my glasses (I ordered them online through another company) and prescription with me. The process was so fast and simple. I used a progressive lens and I upgraded to no scratch instead of plastic. I also got the lighting control due to my job. 8 hours in front of the computer. After the measurements and processing, I couldn't believe the pricing. It's much cheaper than all the other places I've been to including Lens Crafters. It only took a week. They send it to a lab for processing. Then when it's ready, they send you a text. You have to pay IN full before they send it out. When I went for pick up,, I tried the glasses on and loved it! The lens was super clear. Better than my primary glasses I currently used. I had some adjustment made on the fitting and I was good to go. I ordered a couple more frames through another site and will be coming back very soon. My Mr also wants to try them out. Currently, they don't have an optician at this location. They are still hiring. But when they do next year, I will be using this place. Btw, they have a great selection of name brand glasses and sunglasses. Pricing is definitely affordable. Don't sleep on Walmart Vision. I had an excellent experience. Elijah was down to earth and helpful.

They don't have an optometrist, yet but they're working on that, and in the meantime they're accepting prescriptions from other places. They offer a plethora of different frames and lens options to choose from to customize your experience and fit any price range. Melissa was very friendly and helpful during the entire process. I brought in three frames of my own and she helped fit them for my lenses. I opted for standard lenses with anti-glare and it was only $125 per frame ($20 processing fee for bringing in your own frames). Considering how much I've paid for frames and lenses elsewhere, I'd say I would absolutely come back here again.

Then before you leave the building, be sure to make a quick trip to the observation deck on top of the building for what is arguably the most spectacular view of Cincinnati. You won't be disappointed.
