Heath Eckhart was the optometrist and he was very personable and efficient. I had originally said yes to eye dilation and this 360 eye picture before going to see him, and Heath talked to me and said he didn't see anything alarming that he felt required the pictures/dilation (which were an extra charge). Seemed to genuinely want to help me find the best fit for what I needed and my glasses came in less than 5 days. Will be coming here from now on

I LOVE Vogue Vision!…read more The eye exams are very thorough. I have had two done, as of now. I have also bought 5 pairs of glasses here.....I confess, I am obsessed with chic eyewear.

They refuse to admit when they made an error and assumed I knew my prescription had expired. I had NO IDEA you had to renew a contact lens prescription every year.
