After, Rebecca, was able to figure out the look my cousin was going for she was able to narrow down our selection to some beautiful frames. My cousin who traveled up from Wilmington, NC purchased 3 amazing pairs that really complemented her image. Lauren had them all mailed to her after her prescription was filled. Within a week she was texting the family photos. (I was just reading some of the negative reviews and honestly this store is for a "couture" type of customer not the "lens crafters" niche. This establishment offers high fashion frames that are not for everyone, not to mention the higher price point. However, if you want to stand out with chic quality, go here first. I haven't found another place in Richmond, VA yet that I have liked as much.) Thank you Casey and Rebecca.

The staff was so friendly from the moment I walked in and I loved the vibe - the glasses are displayed so beautifully and I love the antique furniture and numerous plants throughout the space.

My eye exam was quick but thorough. Whether you need glasses/contacts/or an exam, I recommend Carytown Optical!

This is too bad, honestly, because it's a place absolutely dedicated to the best possible experience and the best possible fit for you and your eyes. They're very flexible and very familial, and dedicated to up-to-date technology and hand-crafted accuracy. I also deeply appreciate that they've always had good advice for me on how to afford something I -like-. I've never been upsold on anything, unlike larger commercial places, but I've never been sold anything that felt like a compromise either. It pays to note I am an inherited customer from my long-time optometrist [a dear man who kept careful notes so he could cheerfully ask me how life had gone since I saw him last]. It is a testament to the skill and warmth of Doctors Lindsay and Kurt Jung that I have not suffered the least hiccough or disappointment from the transition when he retired. As long as this office is open and I am within 200 miles of it, I will continue to come here, happily driving from out of town for the experience [which I am doing currently].

The front desk staff were rude, dismissive, and showed zero compassion toward patients. What made it worse was the blatant racism. Staff members were visibly unwelcoming toward Asian and Muslim patients, and I personally witnessed them mocking ethnic names -- laughing among themselves in a way that was humiliating and completely unprofessional. This is a medical office, not a place where patients should have to tolerate discrimination. On top of that, their appointment policy is absurd. If you are even five minutes late -- despite traffic, parking, or any other reasonable circumstance -- they will cancel your appointment on the spot and move on without any grace or understanding. No call, no warning, no flexibility whatsoever. This place is not a welcoming environment. The behavior of the staff is harassing, disrespectful, and frankly unacceptable for any business -- let alone a healthcare provider. I urge anyone from a diverse background to look elsewhere for eye care where you will actually be treated with dignity.
