The staff at the front and the Doctor were both very friendly and professional. I had a few tests done for prevention and they were all good and I did not need glasses so that was nice. There were a lot of other people there so their shared practice is big; they also have glasses for sale if you need them. The parking was a bit tricky because I didn't expect that many people to be there however, I was still able to get in and out pretty quickly. I was given a coupon for the only recommended item I needed so that was nice. Then towards checkout the employee really had mercy on me as I couldn't find my credit card and wanted to use multiple to pay the copay... so I will forever be thankful for that. Thank you!

If you don't mind a busy, hectic, and non-professional atmosphere, it is a good fit. oops - forgot…read moreto mention incompetent, Example - Huge Mistake. Actually put wrong lens in my frames. Was not even close to my prescription! Optician said I could have wrecked my car driving while wearing incorrect lens. Simpson reordered lens. After a 10 day wait, the second lens arrived. OMG. They caused all kinds of visual issues. The third attempt - disaster! I ended my relationship with Simpson. New optician got it right the 1st visit!

I desperately needed a new pair of glasses with my updated prescription as quick as possible! I was…read moresearching all over for my perfect frames in Dayton and Lexington, I felt bummed when I couldn't find any I loved for a good price. My friend then recommended Warby Parker to me and told me they had a store at the Summit at Fritz Farms in Lex! The store is absolutely adorable! Filled with in style, and great priced frames, all $95 or $145 including the prescription lenses (cool books on sale too!) Within a day I found my ideal pair, paid for them and they were able to contact my doctor and get my prescription for me. The staff was extremely helpful and knew a lot about the glasses and their business! Highly recommend and can't wait for my glasses to show up at my door!

Let's cut to the chase, this is the best place to buy glasses. Located in the nicest shopping area…read morein Kentucky, WP exemplifies what every other place in The Summit at Fritz Farm has, class. However, the glasses and eye exams do not cost what you would expect them to, in an area and with presentation like this. You know the TOMs shoe concept? You buy yourself a pair and they donate a pair to someone less fortunate. That's the same concept here. You still think I'm exaggerating when I say that the prices aren't what you'd expect? See for yourself, all of the glasses are under $100... with lenses. Like any other place, you can upgrade on the lenses and pay extra, but even those prices are astronomically low. After LASIK surgery years ago for myself, I still find myself in a different eye ware store about once a year for my daughter. I've previously shopped for glasses at just about every place in Lexington. We once spent over $500 on a pair of glasses for her at another place, even those glasses and the overall experience didn't meet WP. I'm totally blown away by Warby Parker. And that price tag!!!

Wait... while Drs. Ko and Stratton are top notch, do NOT get your glasses there unless you have a…read morevery simple, single vision prescription. I wear blended (no line) trifocals (near, far and inbetween) and the opticians ordered my glasses incorrectly 3 times! My appt with Dr. Ko was in late September and it's now January 19 and I'm just now about to go pick up my glasses. That's right... the first lenses took 3 weeks and were incorrectly made (made me dizzy just to look through them) but the optician rudely insisted that I just "had to get used to them". I told her if I drove home in them I'd cause an accident so she insisted I see Dr. Ko again, who did indeed confirm that the lenses were incorrectly made. The second pair arrived in mid November and they were also incorrectly made -- couldn't read the captions on the TV across the waiting room -- so I saw Dr. Ko once more. She said the optician should mark the different areas on my lenses while I was standing up (since that's how I work my 10 hour shift). The optician refused because she's shorter than I am and said she could accurately measure while we were both seated. The third lenses arrived in mid December and were worse than the 2nd -- had to tilt my head in order to see clearly what was right in front of me. This time though a different optician actually compared each of the first 3 orders that were sent to the lab and determined that the lab did what was ordered, it was the optician who wrote the orders who made the mistakes. Apologies were made and accepted but 3 months had passed and I still had no glasses. I'm going to pick up pair #4 today (nearly 4 MONTHS from the date of my eye exam!) so wish me luck. I will continue to go to Dr. Ko, but I will NEVER, EVER order my glasses there again. Edit: I picked up my 4th pair of glasses on January 24th and have been wearing them for a little over a week. They are GORGEOUS! (Thank goodness for good insurance!) FINALLY they got them right; too bad it took 4 months.

I believe I saw Dr Ko. Exam seemed ok except that she spent more time asking me about what…read moremedications I was taking then the actual eye test. Had to have my glasses sent back 3 times. Each time it was either the distance that was off or the reading section. Finally, I got my old prescription and told them make them like this as I could still see perfectly fine with the old script. The reading part of the lens still isn't up to par but I'm not going back again. So disappointed in this place considering I spent over $800 for these glasses!

Moved here from Illinois thought we wouldn't find an eye doctor like we had there. Lexington Family…read moreeye care proved me wrong!! Great doctor and staff!! Good selection of frames and more affordable than back home.

When this was a stand alone practice, and not affiliated with Pearl Vision, the staff and service…read morewere wonderful. My family and I were very happy to have found such a caring office. Fast forward to now..... HORRIBLE. Let me explain as this is the very first negative review I have EVER given. I made an appointment for my two daughters and I on a Friday. I take off work, the girls rearrange their schedules, and we go to the office at our designated time, which was confirmed with a text. There is no one there. We sit in the car for 45 minutes desperately trying to get in touch with someone, no answers. I should probably mention there were 2 other people in the parking lot doing the exact same thing. I finally get some call center a million miles away and they say that "late last night" my appointment had been cancelled, but she showed no attempt at notifying me (at least she was honest and apologetic.) Basically, I completely wasted an entire morning and I was asked to make another appointment for the next week for the girls and one the following week for myself. When the girls arrive the next Friday, they are treated poorly. The front desk staff is courteous and kind, but the doctor literally yelled and berated them during their time being examined. They left the office upset, crying, and begging me never to send them to that place again. These are tough older teenage girls who have a tough mom. I can't imagine how awful he had to be to illicit this kind of response from not one, but BOTH. Not only that, but the office that I had once trusted, completely took advantage of their naivety, and up-sold them for a crap ton of things they did not need. I have excellent eye insurance and have been getting regular exams for the three of us for a long time, I know the typicals. It was triple what I normally get charged. I guess part of this is my fault for not being able to accompany them, but never did I expect for them to take advantage of long time loyal patients. The doctor even yelled at my eldest daughter for not wanting her eyes dilated because she had to DRIVE, makes sense right? Gotta get that extra $15 dollars regardless of her safety, doc? Appalling. Seriously, appalling. So today is supposed to be my appointment. I figured I'd keep it not only because I desperately need a new glasses rx, but also because I wanted to see how I was treated and scope out any problems that maybe the girls weren't aware of that could somehow explain the stressful and negative nature I had been advised of just the week before (I'm in healthcare.) I wake up this morning to a message on my phone that my appointment has been cancelled.... AGAIN. At least this time I was notified. :( I know this was lengthy, but I truly hope my advice is taken and NO ONE subject themselves to this office. Between the blatant disregard for other people's time and schedules, the overpriced up services, and the unkind treatment, I will honestly never go back. They've lost a very loyal and expensive customer forever.
