When I went in over lunch break I found a half a dozen frames that I liked and narrowed them down to 2 frames. Mr. Shifflet, the owner, gave me his opinion and asked his daughter to come look too. I took selfies to show my husband that night and he immediately told me I should take the glasses home and show him in person. I have never had this good service anywhere else. Parking is plentiful, the store has a lot of frames and sunglasses to choose from and the service is outstanding. I will be a repeat customer.

I chose the Pantops (Peter Jefferson Pkwy) office after discovering that it was much closer to…read morewhere I live. I had already visited other MyEyeDr offices to shop and compare, as I was looking to get a backup pair of prescription sunglasses. I found most of the other offices far more customer-friendly than this one. With the exception of Avory, who was most impressive in her courtesy, professionalism and superb customer service skills, I found the front staff lacking in their approach to customer service. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to work with Avory. However, I continually observed her performance with other customers while I was working with Rashonda. Avory genuinely seemed happy to be working there and always verbally welcomed guests as they entered the office. Other staff appeared to have a perfunctory "just going through the motions" attitude about their work. I am rating this office three stars, rather than only two stars, because everyone seemed to be technically competent in their trade. Thus, if you care only about technical proficiency, then this office is fine. But if you're like me and you want not only technical competence from your eye doctor experience, but a friendly, engaging interaction where you feel welcomed and glad you came, then I don't think the Pantops (Jefferson Parkwy) office is your best option. If you are lucky to work with Avory, then you should walk away feeling very pleased with your experience. Otherwise, with the other front staff, I recommend looking elsewhere. I certainly plan to choose another MyEyeDr office after I pick up my current pair of sunglasses soon! Thank you, Avory, for setting a good role-modeling example for your colleagues. I hope they will heed your example of stellar, professional and friendly customer service!

The…read moreday before my appointment with Warby Parker, I went (name redacted) to get the same service, this place was unable to complete my exam after me waiting 45 minutes after my appointment time. Warby Parker is where I found excellence in knowledge, professionalism, and friendless. Everyone at the office that day was great!!!! Liam, Megan, and my favorite chick (but I've completely forgotten her name and sincerely apologize) she was absolutely amazing and outside of there, I could see myself being friends with her :) My visit was 3/31/26 at 3:45, as well as my Doctor she was fantastic and very thorough!! The glasses and contacts are reasonably priced with many options to select!! You will not be disappointed with using Warby Parker for all your eye care needs.

While this is not what I was hoping for this is the best possible solution they are legally able to offer and for that I am thankful! Like I said before Warby Parker has been great to me and one hiccup wont ruin the entire process but this was only because they reached out and didn't let it sit. Still a location learning using new technology but overall happy with the solution. If you plan on using this store just be clear with your expectations and have everything documented so word can be shared with clarity.

She was very patient and kind...she took her time and examined my eyes carefully. I have Grave's eye disease and she even went so far as to take measurements of my eyes...and didn't charge me extra, even though I'm sure my appointment took longer than most. I got my exam for only $60 (without any insurance) and I purchased glasses for only $54!! My glasses were ordered on Friday morning and they had them in store for me by lunch time on the following Monday! I wasn't expecting such good service considering how inexpensive they are. I am VERY impressed and I have already told all of my family and friends to give it a try! I will be going back for my future exams!
