I went into Vision Corner since the contact lens I usually wear were drying out my lens. The appointment was with Dr. Iqbal. She was very thorough with her examination. She went over my medical history and recommended for me to try daily contacts because of my allergies and the amount of time I spent in front of a computer screen. Further, she recommended to wear eyeglass and alternate the days of contact lens wear. A lot of times when you go for an appointment with an optometrist, they try to rush through the vision test. However, Dr. Iqbal listened to all my questions and answered my concerns. read more

This office is very professional and friendly. I drove from the league city area and was not disappointed. The new equipment was very up to date with current technology. The staff was all friendly and professional. I saw Dr. Iqbal she was very understanding and competent with my eye exam. The optician Wendy was very helpful and helped me find a pair of glasses that fit my face perfectly. I get compliments daily and she really explained all of my benefits with my insurance and provided excellent customer service. read more

Dr. Iqbal at the Westheimer location is such a wonderful optometrist. Not only is she extremely thorough in her examination, but she explains everything every step of the way. She always has a cheerful manner, it's a pleasure to be a patient of hers. The stylish selection of frames is fantastic, I had no problem finding several pair that I liked. I've been a customer of the Westheimer location for several years and have always received stellar service. I highly recommend them. read more

I recently got fitted for contacts and purchased a pair of glasses from Vision Corner. Dr Barnes spent a great deal of time with me explaining the different options for contacts and making sure I got the ones to best fit my needs. I had previously been buying contacts from an online retailer, due to convenience and price so had never really had the personal service of someone explaining the benefits of the different types of lens along with the pros and cons of each. In the end the price was the same, but the level of service from Dr Barnes far exceeded my online provider. I also found Vision Corner's level of selection in quality glasses to be very high. The hardest part for me was deciding on what I liked the best. Ultimately I went with a pair of Silhouettes, that I love. I recommend Dr Barnes without reservation. read more

I'm not sure what else I have to do other than removing 4 stars to get someone's attention. Vision Corner withheld my pupillary distance (PD) information since I did not purchase a frame and lenses from them. The prescription information given to me when the exam was done did not include a PD. I decided to purchase my frame and lenses from FramesDirect.com, and Vision Corner refused to give FramesDirect.com my PD information even after I signed a release form. read more

I came in for an eye exam after wayyyy too long. Needless to say, things changed since my last eye appointment. The front desk explained all the testing/screening options I had. The doctor was great in walking me through what to expect from each test they performed on my eyes. I was impressed with the technology they had. I received my prescription and now I'm able to order on my own with the script I received, or order pick from their huge selection in the office. read more

Absolutely love this office!!! I have been going here for years, and will always be a patient here. They were located across from the Galleria for many years, but just relocated to Uptown Plaza. The Dr's here are very caring, I know I will always have a thorough exam , and they have latest equipment to check the health of your eyes as well. By far the BEST frame selection in town!! They accept my insurance here too, not many places do. read more

Amazing place! Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable too! I'm so happy with my visit and am definitely recommending my friends to go! They have an amazing selection of frames so there's plenty to choose from! read more

Everyone here including the doctor was exceptional. Very professional from the moment I signed in. I was really impressed by their newest technology. They have a blue light damage scanner. Dr Iqbal explained everything about my eyes and vision. I will definitely be returning here next year. read more

My exam was an eye opener. Found out I was blue light sensitive. Rather catch any eye concerns now rather than later. Grateful for that. I was a little put off by the 24hr. Cancellation fee of 20% on my order. My appointment was on the 27th. Called to cancel on the 29th after finding my frames for less and they charged Mr $73.80 to do so. Yes. I signed the paper as the woman told me that went over the policy. I did not receive a copy of this policy, nor was it mentioned when sold to me. They took advantage of a new customer, a customer that will now not return. read more

My current pair of glasses are from here. I both (kind of) like them and absolutely can not stand them, it depends on what outfit I'm wearing. I suppose that is one of the woes of having a pair of colored plastic frames. The brand isn't important as I dislike the clothing line. Vision Corner carries a good selection of frames. Mostly clothing designer name brand (Nicole Miller, Vera Wang, ect), but also some brands that are only exclusive to eyeglass shops. All very nice and run the gamut between boring, conservative lady glasses to "are we certain these aren't kiddie frames?" (They carry men's frames, but I didn't waste my time looking at those for obvious reasons.) You'll most definitely find a pair that almost fits your personality, are versatile, and that you hopefully won't bore you two months in the future. Yes, yes, that mythical pair of "perfect" frames. A year and a half ago, a very polite, helpful, and pushy optician found my current pair of glasses. She's the only person who's complemented my on my frames, if that gives you any indication on the level of their "awesomeness." Once you walk into the store, she sizes you up, and finds frames based on your outfit or in her eyes "your personality." To her credit, she IS very enthusiastic and nice and finds frames you wouldn't think of trying on yourself. On my most recent adventure in searching for my new frames, she tried her damnedest to convince me that the satin-finish Mardi Gras purple rectangular metal frames with a darker purple with chartreuse squiggles on the arms, were the perfect new frames for me. Perhaps she didn't hear me the multiple times I mentioned I would be wearing these frames every day and not everything I owned would match that color combo and design. She also found a few quieter frames, as well, but nothing that I really liked. If you are on the hunt for glasses, keep in mind that you must stay focused on your objective and you must not "impulse by" or be goaded into buying frames that you are not 100% happy with. And above all else, do NOT fall for the "would you like an outside opinion" routine. She'll just call over her coworkers to tell you that the frames are "perfect." This is a great place to add to your "Search for spectacles" list and they do take insurance, but really, I found some even better pairs at Insight Optical and Eye Contact. read more

Alright, so I walk in for my first appt here and sign in and start filling out all the paperwork, yada yada yada. I give the forms back and they tell me I owe $90 more for a contact fitting fee. Apparently this is normal for an eye doc but completely crap if you ask me. My old doc never charged me this... Whatever I'll pay it. Go in, the appointment was fine, the woman who examined me was nice and professional. Got done and they tell me that i also need to buy the contacts right that moment, but they won't order them until I call back in a week and tell them I like the lenses. Well what if I don't like them? "Then we'll reimburse you"...okay that's dumb, how about when you actually order them I pay for them. This place just irritated me with the fees and the whole contact process, not coming back. read more

This place is the worst. I chose it over a year ago because it was close to work. I thought it would be convenient. It hasn't worked out that way. The woman who answers the phone can apparently only book appointments. Anything beyond that is too confusing and she has to ask someone else. Says they'll call me back but they never do. I ordered contacts and they never bothered to call to let me know they came in. After 3 weeks, I had to call them. That seems like the kind of thing you'd tell a patient. I went in for an eye infection and asked about whether I was a candidate for lasik instead of glasses (this may have been over 2 appointments for follow up on the infection - I don't remember now) They somehow charged one of them an eye exam and now my insurance won't cover the annual eye exam I actually need. And when I was investigating lasik, the center wanted me to do the pre-op and post-op stuff with the doctors at this location. Which they flatly refused to book. I'm kidding. It was just too confusing for the receptionist and the doctor was supposed to call me back... imagine my surprise when I never heard back. read more

- Wendy is awesome!!! They took care of my brother and I ... very nice . Perfect location , as soon as you walk in it smells amazing!!! They have great high end selection read more

Dr. Barnes is an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING optometrist and human being! Dr. Barnes and staff are very dedicated to customer service. She took her time with my appointment and made sure I got the right prescription. This is a wonderful place !! I highly recommend Dr Barnes and Vision Corner (both locations)! read more

I've been a patient with Vision Corner for 2 1/2 years and I find their services to be impeccable. I say that because they gave me my 20/20 VISION back! HURRAH! Dr. Barnes and Dr. Solar said that they could, but I didn't believe it. I guess seeing is "believing" and the world is beautiful. I was so happy with my glasses, I went back and picked up some contacts. All purchases, (my wife and mine) were done through my insurance and the STAFF (Jeff and Tina) took care all of that for us. What a staff, they really made the experience nice and easy. I also like the friendly email notifications I receive for my upcoming appointments. This is the best place I've found after many years of searching for perfect vision. I'm not going anywhere else. read more

Dr. Iqbal and her team were excellent. The exams were thorough and relevant. The team walked me through all the results and options for corrective vision. Best of all everybody was friendly and open to all my questions. Definitely would recommend them!! read more

I go to the Vision Corner regularly for my yearly eye exam with Dr. Virani. Recently I had a lasik procedure done; however, before the procedure I went to see Dr. Virani to see what her opinion of the procedure was (she is a very educated and skilled doctor, so her opinion of the procedure was really what encouraged to move forward with it). In fact, she even asked me the name of the doctor performing the procedure to make sure that he was good. She cares very much about her patients and even followed up with me post-op to see how my procedure went, how my eyes were feeling, and even helped me with my post-op dry eye issues. I would highly recommend her to anyone because she truly cares about the well-being of her patients. read more

My last visit to vision corner was this past month with Dr. Barnes. I was unhappy with my previous prescription because I still could not see completly clear. Dr. Barnes was very meticulous about getting me the perfect prescription for my eyes and it turned out great! The staff is very friendly and spent a long time helping me pick out the righ pair of frames. The experience was great and I assume I will be a long-time customer. Thanks Dr. Barnes! read more

The staff here is always very helpful and it is easy to make an appointment that works with my schedule. I have been going here for three years now and Dr. Virani is great. She has always answered any questions that I have and I never feel like I am being rushed out. I never buy my glasses or contacts here, because like any glasses shop, they charge higher prices than I can find online. Whenever I tell them I don't want to purchase there, they have never tried to pressure me or get me to change my mind. I like that they are polite and helpful and never high-pressure. The only reason I did not give five stars are because their prices seem higher than most other optical shops, both retail and online. read more

Recently moved to Texas. I had an appointment for prescription sunglasses, met with doctor and both doctor & staff were very friendly. They were also able to fit my husband in for contact fitting. My sunglasses & contacts were ready faster then the time given. Overall the service was great, very friendly & helpful. I recommend this location and will return for my annual exam & eyeglass purchases. read more

I came into Vision Corner again today (been coming here for years now). Their new location is amazing as is their frame selection. But you can go to amazing places with amazing frame selections almost anywhere. What sets Vision Corner apart is the service!! Wendy, Beatriz, Po....they are all excellent. They are knowledgeable, friendly, super helpful...I wouldn't go anywhere else. (Even though I didn't have an appointment with Dr. Barnes today, she still came out to greet me and chat for a minute.) You guys are awesome and I recommend you to everyone I know!!! Thank you! read more

Best place to go to for your annual eye exams and to get glasses made! The doctors and staff are very wonderful. I am very happy with my glasses that have the tech shield, will be purchasing more in the future. Such a great frame selection. The doctors are always explaining great new technology that will better the health of your eye. read more

The business owner contacted me and resolved our concerns expressed in my previous review. I do have family members that have also had good experiences here. read more

I've been a patient of Dr.Barnes since I was in fourth grade. Dr.Barnes always keeps me posted on any research that can help me with my vision. The staff does a great job and they're willing to go the extra mile. They even provide a follow up call to make sure that everything is great. read more

Very helpful and courteous. I was tested and prescribed progressive lenses, though they were not at all good for me. They promptly exchanged them for regular lenses and refunded the difference. No complaints about this. read more

Wow by far the best eye doctor that has ever helped me! People are so nice and the choice of glasses you get to choose from is fantastic! I really enjoy this place and how helpful it has been. Truly has changed my look for the best! read more

I had the best experience at vision corner. I looked all around town for a place like this. They had multiple frames I liked, and everyone was so very helpful. I would recommend anyone here because of the great customer service and prices! read more

This is an excellent company. I have gone to them for over 15 years. I have never experienced any issues that they didn't address completely, fairly and professionally. They offer old school service that is lacking everywhere else these days. They truly offer two things that I cannot find elsewhere. 1. Unparalleled customer service!! In my experience Dr. Barnes treats each patient like her own family. She frequently greets each person if she is in the showroom. The rest of the staff stand ready to solve every issue with a smile. 2. Excellent and distinct selection of frames and she takes insurance! Dr. Barnes, Wendy and Beatrice recently helped me with a major issue with my glasses and went the extra mile to solve every single problem that cropped up. They were always professional and always offered solutions. read more

Worst contact exams ever! Doctor was cocky. Put on a contact that didn't fit my eye and let me sit there to feel really uncomfortable for 5 mins only to put the same size contact that i've been wearing just to justify charging me 90 bucks for contact fitting. I've been wearing contacts for 24 years, never did the size of my contact change or any doctor did this to me before. She also told me to let her worry about what is best fit for me when she wanted to switch me to monthly when i expressed concerns that they might be too thick. when i told her my vision are not the same even my prescription has not changed for 15 years, she reply well your eyes are not perfect even with contacts! Well no kidding! I know that! Bad service from the front to the back! Don't go! read more

Nice place, very polished & clean. In a very nice part of town near River Oaks Art District. It was easy to get an appointment & no real wait time. Staff was really nice & helpful. read more

Vision Corner is the place to go. Excellent service and frame selection. I found a great pair of Oliver Peoples. The optician was very knowledgeable and suggested the just the right frame for my face. read more

9/18/2012 I am so happy to have found Dr. Barnes at Vision Corner on Westheimer. She is an excellent optometrist and corrected an eye redness problem I had had for years. She takes time with her patients, and listens to concerns. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the selection of frames is great. I would recommend Dr. Barnes to anyone needing an eye exam and vision correction. Vicki P. read more

I have seen Dr. Barnes at Vision Corner in Sugar Land and in the Galleria (where my appointment was today) for many years. A friend recommended Dr. Barnes when I was dissatisfied with the optometrist I had been seeing. Dr. Barnes always found the eyewear that would work best for my changing vision and changing needs - from regular glasses to bifocals to gas permeable contact lenses and now to disposable soft contact lenses. Dr. Barnes is very knowable and competent and provides a very thorough eye check-up. I am so happy with the eye care I receive from Dr. Barnes and Vision Corner. Furthermore, the staff at both Vision Corner offices is very friendly, patient and helpful! read more

Great service! The girls were able to work with my insurance to maximize my benefits on frames and ensured I walked away with the perfect pair! read more

I've been using Dr. Barnes and Vision Corner since the mid-80's. Professional service, top of the line technology for eye health and vision exams. In addition to eye care I enjoy the frame selection - I prefer non-common glasses and the team works to find frames that suits my personality. read more

From when my hand opened the door and I entered the lovely Vision Corner...I felt ELEVATED. My energy level had been apprehensive when I arrived due to previous lack of findings from ongoing vision problems, but as I began to analyze my surroundings, a sudden sense of comfort came over me. The staff greeted me professionally and were extremely kind. The prompt attention I received after filling out the paperwork impressed me, especially that we started the exam testing on the scheduled appointed time. Getting the test on "State of the art equipment" gave me such confidence and a sense of relief- what a difference after dealing with my ongoing struggle of migraines and strobing symptoms. Upon meeting Dr. Barnes her pleasant manner and thorough explaining of the exam truly engaged me to understand every aspect of her findings. The personal attention I received from Wendy to help me find the "Perfect Fit" of glasses was uniquely satisfying. She knew the appropriate size for my face & even understood my personality. The large selection was not just wonderful but quite fashionable as well. In Addition, the price points matched accordingly. Extraordinary Customer Service! * What an amazing Optometrist Dr. Sophia Barnes is...Respectfully to have a compassionate well trained staff mixed with a beautiful atmosphere. A true formula of "Excellence"...it Won this customer over. Can't wait to refer others. Thanks for being the best! Extremely Satisfied and Grateful With Happy Eyes, Smiling in Houston ~ Sandra May ") read more

I've been coming here and seeing Dr. Barnes for several years now. And although it's usually an annual visit, she always recognizes me and treats me like a family member. She explains everything with a big smile on her face which can turn any bad day into a good one. Her staff is well trained and courteous. They are always accommodating no matter the circumstances. Very clean office. Definitely recommend no matter the distance you live. read more

Excellent service and high quality of care was provided. Staff was welcoming and explained all the insurance information and tests in details. They have the latest equipments. I have been coming to Vision Corner for past three years and all the doctors are very thorough with the exams. Also they have the best selection of designer frames. I definitely do recommend everyone should come to Vision corner to get the best treatment for your eyes. read more

I have been going here for 3 years now. The selection of eye-wear is GREAT! Tom Ford, John Varvatos, David Yurman, Persol and many more top designer bands is why I originally chose Vision Corner, but the Amazing customer service and detailed eye exams is why I come back. Dr. Sophia W. Barnes is the optometrist I always see. She is very detailed and personable. The office admins are very friendly from the moment you walk in the office. I had a 1:30pm appt, I got there at 1:20 was filling out the paper work and in the chair in under 10 min. They do all of the eye tests (pupil dilation, tonometry, retinoscopy, refraction, etc. it is a very compressive eye exam) and best of all Dr. Barnes reviews all of the results with you so you feel comfortable and informed about what is going on and why. I was debating glasses and contacts and Dr. Barns provided me with all the pros and cons and even gave me multiple options. When you are done with the exam, you get to pick from a huge gallery of glasses with a specialist there to assist you and make sure they are the perfect fit. I found 3 so the specialist then covered all the options my insurance covered and gave me estimates of the cost so I could make the best decision. Therefore, I guess all in all I would highly recommend Vision corner if you want great friendly service and a HUGE selection of top brands to choose from. read more
