    Where did Dr. Davidson go? He was here one day and gone the next. He is the only eye doctor our family has used in years.

    I have been going to him for over 10 years. I have never had any complaints. Dr. Davidson is a very good optometrist and a very nice person.

    I am writing this review with 2 days post op and with my new 20/15 vision! I had been looking to…read moreget LASIK for the past year and decided that this would the perfect time due to being able to work from home. A few things attracted me to EDOW: the convenient location (in Tyson's), the latest LASIK technology, the experienced doctors, transparent website with all the forms, risks, videos, etc. and it not being a massive chain. There was also a $1000 off promotion for PRK and Custom LASIK when I scheduled. I like that each LASIK procedure included a customized eye mapping to prevent some of the negative side effects (halos, glare, etc.) which I learned is not standard for all practices. The whole process was seamless from the initial free consultation that I was able to schedule for the following day to the post operative appointments. The initial consultation included a standard eye exam, cornea mapping, vision evaluation and eye health exam. Jon was extremely helpful in answering questions and explaining each step. My eyes were healthy and my corneas were thick enough so I was approved! I was able to schedule the pre-op, LASIK surgery and post-op immediately after the appointment. For the next two weeks, the tech instructed me to wear my glasses to allow my eyes to return to its natural shape. All the appointments are confirmed online which is very easy. The pre-op only took about 45 minutes. This is when my eyes were dilated, mapped, and the "true" prescription was assessed for the surgery. They also ordered my prescriptions through Friendly's Pharmacy for delivery to my home. The antibiotic and corticosteroid drops were delivered the following day. All very easy! The actual surgery day was about 2 weeks later at 2pm on a Thursday. I was in and out within 35 minutes! In the first room, Jon administered a bunch of drops (numbing, antibiotics, others) and also gave me a Valium. They also gave me glasses, eye shields, post care instructions and some lubricating drops for home. A few minutes later I walked to the LASIK suite where I laid down for the procedure. Dr. Kang explained each step and the expected feelings and sounds so I was completely at ease. I never felt any pain whatsoever. The first machine applied some pressure my eyes one at a time, my vision went temporarily blurry and then I was moved to the next machine to reshape the cornea. I focused on the green light and noticed the slight burning smell. But felt I absolutely no pain or discomfort at this point. The whole procedure lasted maybe 5-7 minutes. I then went a another room where Dr. Kang evaluated my eyes. I was then sent on my way! My vision was already was about the same as when I wore glasses just sensitive to light and a bit hazy. The first 2 hours were probably the most uncomfortable since my eyes felt heavy from the drops and I felt a bit dizzy. I napped with my face mask and new eye shield since my eyes just felt sensitive and tired. Two hours later I felt like a completely different person. I did wear sunglasses inside to avid glare and diligently began my eye drop regime. I was able to watch TV and that night without an issue. The following day was magical as I woke up with better vision than I had with contacts. I had very little dryness and none of the halos/glare/redness people talk about. That morning, I drove myself to for the post op where the optometrist said I had 20/15 and with almost no inflammation or discomfort. I even ran that afternoon. I would HIGHLY recommend this practice if considering LASIK. Everyone was extremely professional, knowledgeable and skilled. I attribute my speedy recovery and excellent results to them. Just remember those drops!!

    doctors are great, but phone staff are totally useless. do…read morenot get eyes done with differnt focus. causes severe vertigo. paid $10k for edof and still need glasses. astigmatism in one worse than before. although dipaolo is a pain, go there. i know two patients who are very happy. best thing about cataract surgery is being able to drive at night.

I recently (December 30, 2025) ordered a new pair of glasses through their insurance program as my current set was damaged. They said 2 to 3 weeks. Historically, they would deliver glasses in around a week to 10 days. Have been checking in since January 15 and have been told probably 10 times my glasses would be ready in 3 to 5 days. It is now February 5, 2026, and I was told today that my glasses weren't ordered until January 24 and they likely won't be ready until the week of February 16. The employees are nice but clueless. How can you say an order will be ready in 3 to 5 days for weeks and then tell me on February 5 that the glasses weren't actually ordered until January 24. All while I had spoken with them multiple times and was continually told the 3 to 5 days line? Meanwhile I am running around like a Cyclops with basically one good lens in my glasses. At least I am providing entertainment for my wife. I will be taking my future business elsewhere.

    Pretty awful. Ordered a pair of glasses and was told that they would be ready in two weeks. I…read morecalled multiple times and was told by the automated service that they were enroute and would be received in 3-5 days. After waiting that period of time and not hearing anything, I called the store and spoke to someone who told me that they were still being processed and wouldn't be ready for a couple of weeks. They couldn't explain the discrepancy between their system and the automated one. Regardless, had I known about the extended delay (because I actually need them now), I'd have gone elsewhere. Frustrating.

Seemed like the were more concerned with doing a $1500 laser treatment, that was not covered by insurance then to fix my problem with my insurance. Also, I could not help but notice the number of 1 star reviews on this page for this office. Very disparaging, so I am not going to go back. I ended up booking an appointment with Dr. John Josephson M.D. on a recommended referral from another eye doc.

The front doors are heavy and have no automatic doors. The office door is heavy and doesn't have a door stop. The nurse who checked us in put us in a room and made my mom struggle to transfer from her wheelchair to the exam table, just to tell her she'd then have to transfer back again and repeat the difficult process in the doctor's designated room. When we expressed the challenges with this, we were told that the doctor "can only see her patients in her room." For a medical office, everyone was completely ableist and disinterested in the needs and challenges to using a wheelchair. This practice should review its practices asap. DO NOT GO HERE.

Today, 4/23/26, I went in to waste time before my eye exam and peruse through the selection of new frames. I generally spend $2-3k a year on frames. When I walked in, no one greeted me or even acknowledged I was in the store. That was a first. Generally at this location everyone is friendly and helpful. Both workers were engaged in non-work conversation. My daughter and I overheard them speaking. There was no way they could have missed us. We were the only ones in the store. As we worked our way down trying on various frames, another Caucasian lady barely crossed the threshold into the store when one of the workers broke their conversation, and while walking briskly past us, screamed across the store, ' Ma'am, may I help you??'' I looked at my daughter and remarked to her that we'd been in the store for 5 minutes and no one even acknowledged we were there. I wondered if this was a racial issue. As the worker and the woman made their way closer to where my daughter and I continued to try on frames, the worked said, 'Could you move? I'm trying to show her something.' I said, 'Excuse me??' He responded, ' Move so I can show her something.' I said, ' Are you asking me to step aside??' He just waved his hand at me to move. At that moment, my daughter and I were convinced we were being treated poorly bc we're black. My daughter and I walked to the counter to find a manager bc that type of behavior will not be tolerated. A man walked from behind the glass and said, ' What do you need?' I asked him if he was the manager. He kind of agreed that he was kind of the manager. I explained to him what just happened and told him, and the other worker who had by then walked over, that his behavior was rude, dismissive and disrespectful. The worker half heartedly apologized and the so called manager said he would talk to him. I have no doubt the whole ordeal was forgotten the minute we walked out. I'd like to think LensCrafters is better than this. What I can say is that training is in order. I was absolutely livid and in all likelihood will never step foot in this location again. They absolutely do not deserve my business.

    Been coming to this vision clinic since 2019, totally forgot to schedule appointments in 2023 so…read morethe last time I was here was shortly after they got purchased by a PE firm. My experience this time was poor for the lens fitting exam and better the next day for the annual eye exam. For the lens fitting exam, it's been a while but I remember the time back in 2019 when I first came to See Clearly, it was a doctor who did most of the vision test (reading the letters, using the instruments to check 1 or 2 is better, and doing the pressure test), now that's all done by an assistant. Which is fine I guess, to free up Dr time to save money and see more patients. After the assistant got a prescription and came back with a pair of lenses for me to try, the right eye was seeing a lot crisper, the left side was better but not as crisp as the right. Assistant said he'll get Dr Williams to check. Dr. Williams came in and did the 1 or 2, 3 or 4 process again and I guess my eyes were performing differently, after we did all that came back to the same prescription that the assistant got. During this process Dr. Williams was very impatient, got really annoyed at me for asking to see the different settings again and you can just tell she was not happy by the tone of her voice that I wasted her time. I'm just seeing a much crisper image with the right eye than the left, it seemed like it can't be improved anymore. Wish she were more patient and more understanding, I hope it's just an off day. I saw Dr. Williams in 2022 and I had a great experience, I recommended my coworkers and partner to see her and See Clearly in general. I've only had good experiences with the other Drs here over the years. Can only imagine that now being owned by a PE firm the practice has to hit higher profitability goals and have to see more patients with same number of hours from the Drs. I'm sorry that there is more pressure, hopefully things will change for the better. I came the next day for an annual eye exam and Dr. Baveja was very attentive and understanding.

    This is not a practice to use. I signed up 3 months ago for eye surgery scheduled for tomorrow…read moremorning. Over those months I asked if the pre authorization had come through and they brushed off my inquiries as being too soon. Today at 3 pm I received a call cancelling my surgery because they failed to timely ask for pre authorization and had not obtained it. Puzzling as the hospital had obtained it. They had no concern for the pre surgery tests and lab work I was required to timely have and pay for. Arranging transportation, pet care home help etc. just wasn't a concern for them. Several other patients were also impacted. Hope my warning helps you find a better practice that actually cares about patients.
