So, I have a new job with new health benefits. I knew I was due for an eye exam, and needed to find…read morea place that took my new insurance. I was going to go to my old eye place, but on my insurance website, it says this shop is one of their preferred locations. What is a preferred location you ask? Better discounts and more savings! I found out that Normandy has 4 different locations, but this one is closest to my home. I actually called and made an eye appointment through the Royal Oak location since they were closed that specific day. The guy was super nice and helpful on the phone, and gave me the breakdown of what to expect. I went in about a week and a half later and the whole experience was fabulous. Including the eye exam, I was in and out in about an hour. The last time I went for an exam, I swear it took closer to two hours. The optometrist was super cool and I really liked chatting with him. After I was done, I picked out my frames, and sat with a gal going over what I wanted. I got the anti glare coating (or whatever it's called) on my glasses and a few other things as well. My frames were under $200, but I got a nice discount and most of them covered due to insurance. About a week and a half later, I got a text stating that my glasses were ready for pickup. I was surprised it took the entire time I was quoted for them to get made, but it didn't bother me. Normandy is open late on Wednesdays, so I was able to stroll in after work to pick them up. There was literally no one else in the store. I tried them on and the glasses work great! My eyes feel weird since they are a stronger prescription then what I am used too. I also bought lens cleaner for $5 since I can also use it to clean my phone. Overall, I really loved how efficient and friendly the staff and process was here. I plan on going back in the future for many more eye exams as long as I am at this job with this insurance coverage. Thank you Normandy, you guys really do an excellent job!

Following my last two visits here I am done with Normandy! In '24 they charged me full price for…read moremy exam ignoring my VSP insurance that I had thru BCBS and so I had to fight to get a refund, then in July '25 they still charged for my visit, ignored my request for a simple lens refill, and attempted to sell me a full year's supply of what I neither need or can afford!

I knew it was time for an eye exam because I was having trouble reading with my current glasses. I…read morechecked my health insurance website and this place was close to home and in network for me. They have multiple locations throughout the area including Lake Orion. They have late nights on Tuesdays until 7 PM but aren't open on the weekends. Facility is tucked away right off Walton and has a decent parking lot with lots of handicap parking spots up front. I was able to make an appoint with ease but they were super busy at the Rochester location. Walking in the place is quite large with ample seating and a coffee area. The frame shop is in the front to pick out new glasses and holds decent hours. I checked in at the desk and was taken back on time for my appointment. I did have to fill out paperwork which I hated doing. I had two separate technicians for the first part of my exam and then met with the doctor for the final part which wasn't to terribly long. Appointment ran an hour and I was in and out in no time. I only gave four stars because I was told when I checked in I would be given sunglasses after having my eyes dilated and was never given them on my way out. Fortunately my mom was driving me so I didn't have to worry about that part but was kind of bummed. Also the frame shop is nice but limited selection and kind of expensive. If you have VSP insurance, get your prescription and go to SVS Vision or Visionworks for your frames and lenses.

I have been seeing Dr. Raphtis and Dr. Mamaril for at least 15 years. I have cataracts that they…read moreare watching and neither has pushed me to have surgery at this time. The staff is very polite, friendly and responsive. There have been times when a contact has gotten stuck in my upper eye and I have been able to walk in and have it removed (not fun) immediately. I am extremely comfortable with my opthamological care at the Rochester Michigan Eye Institute.

I needed an eye exam and new glasses since my vision has gone downhill in the past month. The place…read moreI used to go to (Normandy Optical) has really gone downhill the past few visits, so I decided to take my business elsewhere. I found this through the insurance that I currently have and would receive a free exam through them. They do sell frames here, but I'm going to get them somewhere else for a few different reasons. I called ahead to make sure they would work with my current insurance and they were able to find me in the system. I booked an appointment and was able to be seen within a few days of my phone call. Anyway, I walked in and the staff at the desk here was super friendly and helpful. I informed them of what I was there for and they checked me in and answered all my questions. Ok, so here's where I docked a star. If your running a doctors office, and you accept insurance, please don't ask me what I have covered "in my plan." I know there's lots of different insurance companies with different forms of coverage, but it's vision, and usually the coverage's fairly standard across the board regardless of who's paying (the insurance company, not the person.) I spent the time to educate myself on what I get through this specific coverage, so I knew what I was walking into. Free eye exam, 20% discount on progressive bifocals, etc. Even though I absolutely love the staff here, nobody seemed to know about coverage. Fortunately, I did. So, even though I had considered purchasing frames and the lenses from this specific location, it wasn't financially feasible for me at this time. The doctor here is fabulous, very professional and efficient. I was in and out in no time and have a prescription to get new glasses so I can see again. I would come back here in a heartbeat as this office is well run, efficient and the staff here is really one of a kind. Dr. Weingarden really knows his stuff and wasted no time and did a fabulous job. I can't brag enough about how wonderful and helpful the staff is, and I will gladly return in the future. I can't thank these gals enough!
