The Vision Place is housed in the Carolina Opthalmology offices. Tim, the guy that heads it up, is friendly and helpful; his hours are 8 to 5 with a lunch-break around noon, so it's pretty easy to catch him if you're already there for an eye exam or if you're just swinging by. On occasions when he hasn't been in the office, there are other people available to help. Although, last time I went by to pick up my order when he was out and the woman standing in couldn't figure out how to ring me up. She let me take my lenses with me (thank goodness, as I'm nearly half-blind!), and Tim called the next day to get my credit card number over the phone.
It's a fairly small shop, but they do cram a decent amount of frames and even a few sunglasses in. Turn-around time for contact lenses is super-speedy, like 2 to 3 days. The only down-side is that they only accept Superior Vision insurance, so if that's not your provider you'll be paying full-price. read more
