    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.

    Less than one star...under staffed , after an hour and 15 minutes, they said they needed to redo…read morethe exam.....my eyes were strained, burning . And I never saw an actual professional. Technicians only and what they called "telemedicine " worse experience ever

    I had to go to Buffalo Eye Care to see an Ophthalmologist…read more When I called to try to make an appointment asap, they were able to accommodate me even though they said the Doctor was booked solid. 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.

    If I could give a 2.5 on this place I would because I'm so iffy on my experience. I've taken my…read moreelderly father (84) twice now and both times find staff to be unpleasant (with the exception of the ladies who do the exams and tests prior to the ophthalmologist- namely Melinda, she was amazing!). They don't have automatic doors or a handicap button which makes getting a wheelchair in and out of two sets of double doors, extremely difficult, and no one has ever offered to help but will just sit and watch us struggle. Dr. Gulati says all the right stuff like hello and have a nice day but his delivery and flat and unbothered. The place inside is clean and quiet. Hoping I can leave a better review at his annual visit next year.
