It's official. I think I have to wear glasses all the time now... ah, the beauty of aging and…read moresitting in front of a computer all day. It had been a couple years since my last visit to the eye doctor as my prescription hadn't changed. Recently, I noticed my vision wasn't as clear anymore so I took to my insurance website (and recommendation from a friend) on where to go for an eye appointment. Luckily, the place she recommended was part of my VSP plan and I have decent coverage at Reed so I called to make an appointment and was able to get in a few days later. I also was able to pull the new patient forms from their website, which lessened the waiting time when I arrived for my appointment. A tech asked me some preliminary questions, checked the strength of my current prescription, then I saw Dr. Farrar. She was really sweet, not too chatty. It was the first time I had my eyes dilated... wowee! That's an experience -- bring sunglasses in case you're driving home. Overall, she was very thorough and made sure I was seeing things perfectly -- I'm still new to the whole, "is 1 clear or 2 clear... 3 or 4" process of viewing the letters on the wall (take your time and ask them to go back, don't just say a number). After they dilated my eyes, they had me shop around for glasses. I didn't love their selection and was happy there was no pressure to buy a pair. The lady helping me suggested I come by during their trunk show to check out options that will be 50% off (in April)! Then, I had to sit for a little while in the waiting room. I couldn't answer emails or read a magazine because my eyes were blurry from the dilation, which was inconvenient, but the next part took about 5 min for her finish the appt. I'd suggest allotting at least 1.5 hr. for your appointment, especially if you're going to peruse their eye wear selection. As far as selection, they have some basic options and brand name frames like Gucci, Dior, Nine West, and Calvin Klein.

They don't offer any assistance in selecting a frame. I have to wear dollar store glasses to read,…read moreeven though I had bifocals made. The heavy set man said that I could read some bottom line and that was good enough, but they are not working for me. Now I am stuck with a pair of glasses that I paid a lot of money for. The guy was rude to me. I liked my eye doctor, but I won't be back.

This is a great practice. Everyone is nice, the office is always clean. I'm always confident that…read morethey've given me an accurate prescription (mine changes every year). Other local eye doctors I've been to are not this attentive. I am giving 4 out of 5 only because they won't give you your pupillary distance measurement unless you purchase glasses from their optical shop. In order to buy glasses online, you need that measurement, so Robbins doesn't give you that measurement when they give you your glasses prescription. This prevents their patients from being able to buy glasses elsewhere. I know online glasses sales are cutting into the profits of private optical practices like this, but most of us can't afford the $$$ prices of glasses from an eye doctor which is why I always order mine online for about 1/5 the cost of getting them at an eye doctor.

I just received a bill from Robbins Eye from a exam in 2024 and one in 2025. They blamed…read moreeverything on the insurance company and then when i called the insurance co they gave me exact details on when they were paid, which was way off from what Robins said. I will definitely not be going back to them. Also I can't believe they charge you an extra $40 when they test you for new lenses!

My eyebrows came out beautifully; they look like they belong on a Hollywood screen!! I was so happy I pretty near started to shed tears. Mandy is an eyebrow microblading goddess amongst mere mortals. Bow to the Queen! ;-) I also get my dysport done here. Dr. Whipple is a kind and beautiful human being inside and out. She does an excellent job, and most importantly.... no "sticker shock." It's not hard to strike up a good conversation with her, and her team; these folks will have you rolling with laughter, and joy! :-) From the moment that I check in until the moment that I leave. I have to say the whole staff at Envision is a unique combination of extreme talent and warmth of spirit. The only thing that sucks, is I'm moving out of state very soon. I wish I would have found Envision sooner than I did. The next place I end up.... those folks have big shoes to fill..... BIG!!!

My husband called Whelpley & Paul after a few borderline ridiculous experiences at a competitor to…read moretry to fit us in ASAP. Surprisingly, they had a couple of openings that evening and told us to come right in. They only work with older children at this location ​but were quick to give us their recommendation​ for someone nearby that also takes our insurance and is great with younger kids, and then fit my husband and me in right away. The Optometrist here is probably the nicest Optometrist I've visited​, and in 30 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, that is saying a lot. Eye exams are pretty routine and a lot of Doctors breeze on through but he was very thorough and kind. The optician asked me what styles I like and made recommendations based on what I asked him and stuck within what my insurance covered when I wanted to ​stay under that limit (I primarily wear contacts, so these glasses are replacing a much older pair with an outdated script that I only wear at home in the evenings) and did not try to upsell me. I managed to find a pair of glasses that were similar to my old pair but that I like better. Finally the woman at the front desk was amazing, not only was she super friendly and kind, but she was kind to my kids and made us feel right at home while waiting. We have definitely found our new Vision Care "home".

I have been a long-time customer of Whelplye & Paul for many years at the Greece location. I…read morerecently called the Webster office--not the general appointment line--to schedule a visual field test. I specifically asked whether this test was provided and was told yes. Based on that information, I made the appointment, waited nearly three weeks, took time off work, and drove 25 miles one way, only to be informed upon arrival that I first needed an eye exam and that they would then decide whether to schedule a visual field test approximately three weeks later. This important detail was never communicated to me when I called and clearly explained what I needed. I am extremely disappointed with this lack of communication and the inconvenience it caused.
