When the lenses came in they didn't get dark therefore they had to be remade again. The second time they came in they still weren't correct. When I called to inquire about it the gentleman was very passive and stated "you have lenses they just don't get dark" I stated I understand the lab messed up the lenses for the second time however I've paid for them and I want what I paid for and as the seller instead of getting nasty try trying to treat me like a valued customer not as if I'm disturbing you. He offered free lens clothes, are you serious? By the time I get the lenses for the 3rd time it will be 6 weeks. No I don't want free lens clothes refund some of my money

I had made calls to several different places being told they were mostly booking 2-3 months ahead. As I just lost my glasses, and my last prescription was too out of date to use again I was in a huge hurry to order glasses for driving, etc. Wheatfield Eye Care fit me in only having to wait 1 day. I was examined by Brunilde Matuszak, O.D. She, and her husband Brian, are both on staff to do examinations at this shop they own. Brunilde was very thorough and patient, taking the time to compare different strengths as many times as was necessary to ensure I received the very best prescription. She also explained all she was doing as she went along, and made me feel very comfortable at all times. I received my order just a few days later and am just thrilled with them. I'm convinced it was Brunilde's thoroughness that has provided me with the best vision I've ever had. Thank You so much for making time to take care of me so promptly. I suggest anyone in the market for an eye exam, or eye glasses/contacts take the time to go see these folks. You'll be glad you did!

I had a routine eye exam with Dr. Sirkin. The staff was friendly and the technician who did my…read moreinitial exam was great. However, during my exam with Dr. Sirkin there was a few instances where she made me feel uncomfortable and I was in pain. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open during the eye pressure test. I told her I wanted to skip it and she kept insisting that I needed to do it. Then she wanted to put more numbing drops in my eyes and was holding my eye open with her two fingers. At this point I felt a sharp pain and told her that hurt but she would not back off which upset me. I again told her it hurt and that I thought it was her finger nail putting pressure on my skin. Needless to say when I patient says they are in pain or says no there should be no questions and the doctor should listen. Will never come back to this practice again.

I was told that I would owe nothing and I should ignore any future bills . There was no contingency about hearing back for the insurance company . I was told that all they were an error and that I did indeed owe the $255 months later. I told them I'd be happy to pay the bill provided they can provide me recording made of the conversation where I was told that my payment was contingent upon insurance company approval .

I went to Stanton Optical on Labor Day as they had openings for an eye exam…read more * Entering the store, it is a bit confusing as to where you have to go. I was directed to the right where the eye exams are done. I was not acknowledged so I just stood at the desk until someone appeared and asked what I needed. * Eye exam was done by a provider who was doing this remotely. As I wear hearing aids, I was not able to understand the provider and their questions, etc. One of the associates had to stand next to me during my eye exam to tell me what the provider was asking. This made me very uncomfortable and I honestly felt quite stupid not being able to understand the provider on my own. * They had a large selection of frames and good prices. * The person who took care of me marked the line on the lenses as to where the no line bifocals should be. One pair of glasses is ok but the other I literally see everything as blurry when I look straight out of them. If I tip my head down it tends to clear up a bit so I believe the line is not correctly placed. * When I picked up the first pair, they were just handed to me. When I asked about having them fit, she stated put them on which I did. She then stated looks good to me, you're all set. When I wore them to work the next day, I noticed the temple tips were actually pointing away from my head! I took them back a week later for adjustments but then they literally left dents in my head when I wore them all day. Took them back a third time and they seem to be okay. * I think the biggest issue for me is they would not put the two pair of glasses I bought through my insurance. I was told I would have to submit this on my own. Needless to say, it is a one and done with Stanton Optical. I will not be going back.

Straightening glasses. Just went to Stanton Optical and the lady there actually had no idea what…read moreshe was doing and they did not have a person there other than her. She was both snotty and unapologetic. She was about to break my frames and I stopped her and advised her she was going to break them. She was pretty unhappy with that. I have been wearing glasses for 70 years. All kinds, broke a bunch, fixed a bunch, but I would rather a person that cared about the work, and was willing to learn than a egocentric repair person, with no touch or care in what they were doing.

I spoke with a receptionist at 11:30 am & had to be there by 1:00pm . I got there a little early . They have a nice big parking lot, so that was a plus. Inside is very spacious. They have two doors, one to go into the ophthalmology department, and one to go into the eye care store, where you buy your glasses. They have really cool lighting inside, and the whole office plus store just looks really nice. There were three receptionist working, which was very handy because someone else was there before me being taken care of already, so I got to get taken care of right away as well. I got called into the back in just a few minutes, took an eye test told the nurse or technician the problems that I was having with my eye, and thankfully, it's nothing she hasn't heard before. That was a big relief. Then I had to go see the ophthalmologist. It was a short wait. He was very nice, very talkative, explained everything I needed to know. Give me an eye exam, a real exam with the lights in the eyes and the machine and all that stuff. And was able to diagnose what was wrong with my eye. He told me what was going to happen eventually, what was happening now, and what I would have to do in the near future. Explain things very well and in easy terms, that anybody can understand, thank God. Lol. Everybody was so nice there. I had to deal with two receptionists, one nurse/technician and the ophthalmologist, and they were all so friendly and so nice. The whole place inside is very clean and decorated nicely. They seem to have a large variety of glasses, way more than a place that I go to now has. I have to go back in a month, and I do not regret having to go back because it was a good experience. I would definitely refer anybody I know to come here for your Eye Care needs.

I had a very disappointing experience with this office and would not recommend it based on my…read moreexperience. The biggest issue was the complete lack of transparency regarding the protection plan that was sold to me. When I purchased my glasses, I specifically asked what the protection plan covered because my primary concern was losing my glasses. I was clearly told that the plan covered both lost and damaged glasses, which is why I agreed to purchase it. When I later called after losing my glasses, I was informed that the plan does not cover lost glasses. That was the exact opposite of what I was told when making my purchase. When I called to discuss the issue, I spoke with Karen. While she never raised her voice, her tone and choice of words came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than listening to my concerns or acknowledging that there may have been a misunderstanding on the office's part, she repeatedly implied that I must have "misheard" or "misunderstood." It's frustrating to be told that the mistake was yours when you specifically asked questions to avoid this exact situation. My concerns didn't stop there. During my eye exam, I explained to the doctor that I had previously worn bifocal lenses and did not like them because they caused more problems than they solved. Despite sharing my past experience, I was strongly encouraged to get bifocals again. I trusted the doctor's recommendation, but unfortunately, I ended up with the same issues I had experienced before. I also expressed concerns about my family's eye history and my significant light sensitivity, which continues even while wearing these glasses, and I requested a referral to a specialist. Instead of feeling heard, I left feeling like my concerns were brushed aside. Patients know their own experiences, and those concerns deserve to be taken seriously. Overall, this experience left me feeling misled, dismissed, and unheard. Honest communication, respectful customer service, and listening to patients should be the standard at any medical practice. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
