Here's a short, positive review you can post:…read more I had a great experience at the Cottage Grove Eye Clinic. The staff was friendly, professional, and made the entire visit quick and easy. I was seen promptly, and the appointment was efficient without feeling rushed. I definitely appreciate how fast everything went and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality eye care.

First off, this is not hyperbole. I had never been to this provider before. If you want to be…read morecompletely swindled this is the place for you. I had a standard appointment and the optometrist talked me up for an hour. After that I was passed off to true con sales person. I'm far sighted as part of natural aging. Nothing that would add cost to my glasses. I chose a modest round frame, which priced about the same as any other eye clinic. Without going over any add ons such anti-glare, etc. the con-woman comes back and tells me the glasses were $700. The most I've paid for past prescriptions with frames was $500 tops. Con-woman continues on with her spiel talking everything up and graciously offers a discount to $550. I made the mistake of not going over the paperwork. Yes, I was very tired from work but still my fault. What I end up with is bare bones glasses with no anti-glare not to mention all the other upgrades I've added on at Pearle Vision for my previous glasses. So after two hours of literal non-stop endless talking, the kind that doesn't let you think, which is a pretty standard trait of grifters, I finally leave the clinic. This is the last words I hear from the con-woman. "Thank YOU!" in the most cliche grifter tone. Only after I picked up my glasses did I realize they were just junk. First time driving at night I had to take the glasses off the glare from on coming cars was too much. I was beyond livid. I'm using my old glasses. No, you don't expect to be flat out swindled at a eye care clinic. It is absolutely my fault for being suckered. Hopefully my loss is your gain because this place is a fucking literal racket.

One hand not knowing what the other is doing. I signed up for a deal on the Book of Face where they supposedly give you 1K off when they never tell you what the price is. Got a Zoom meeting with someone clearly not from MN and clearly hasn't had LASIK. It looked like her office might being shipped out of town. Stuff in cardboard paper wrapping on the floor. She had glasses on and referred to A-dee-na and Minne-an-apolis. Also, the A-dee-na location that I booked online was closed. She was able to pronounce Oakdale and switched me to this location. Not confidence inspiring. Told me that only five percent of people have problems. You are telling me I have a one in twenty chance of this being complicated from Ohio? That ain't how we do it in Minnesota! I called them to cancel the next pre-surgery appointment but nobody answered. Imagine that. Oh, yeah. They wanted 38 hundred after the 1K discount. I'll stick with the glasses or else go local to spend that cash.

Dr. Carly Szafranski was great! She explained everything she was doing and educated me along the way! Had some long lasting dilation issues in my left eye 24hours after my appointment so I called them. Customer service was great and they contacted Dr. Carly directly and she called me with 10 minutes if the original call. She let me know it was normal and made a note in my chart to prevent it from happening again. Very impressed. Will be back.

They also recommend that you get the drops to reverse the dilation, but that is also an additional fee. If you are new to wearing contact lenses, you must take a $129 "class", to learn how to put them on and take them out, typically included elsewhere with exam and purchase of contacts. Mind you, you still need to pay for the actual contacts. To avoid that fee, I asked for her prescription to take elsewhere, and they wouldn't do it. I recommend when booking your appointment to ask about extra charges associated with your appointment.

I…read morealways dread this because my prescription is so awful and changes every year, so I always need a new contact prescription and new glasses. On top of that, I hate wearing glasses because even after paying extra for the thinner lens, my lenses are so thick that I look ridiculous wearing them. This year was different. My insurance changed so I looked for a new eye care place near our home in Maplewood. I came across this location and chose it because they had Saturday hours and good deals through my insurance. My eye exam was quick and painless, and I came out with a new glasses and contacts prescription. I went to pick our glasses. Instead of searching through a ton of mediocre frames and waiting in line for what seems forever to get someone to assist you, I was helped quickly by someone that understands my style and need for a frame that goes well with my thick lenses. She walked me through all of my options and got me the cheapest set of the best glasses possible (anti reflective, thinner lenses, the whole 9 yards). After ordering them, I was led to the counter where I also ordered contacts and was given a rebate form to send in once I received them. A week later, my contacts arrived at my home and less than two weeks later, my glasses arrived. They are amazing! For literally years, probably 15 to give perspective, I've only worn glasses at night because I hate how I couldn't see as well with them and how bad they looked on me. Now I wear them whenever my eyes are tired or just for fun! It's so nice to be able to give my eyes a break, especially when I work overnights or long hours in the hospital. I highly recommend this place. They have a huge selection of awesome glasses, service is quick and painful, and the staff are all super nice and eager to help. So glad I came here!

The facility itself is beautiful, welcoming, and clean. Everyone I spoke to greeted me with a smile. The technician (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) was friendly and explained the tests she was performing so I understood the process. Dr. Endres was so professional and personable. I was educated about every step of my exam and even got to see images of my retina! I didn't feel rushed at all and he really took the time to explain his findings and to answer all my questions. Kimberly helped me pick out my frames and suggested enhancements to prevent breakage (which is a necessity with a 9 month old!). All in all a 10/10 experience, I highly recommend Crystal Vision Clinic!

Overall their flow of getting you on and out felt seamless. The staff swiftly moved me through all of the steps to check my eyes. I did have to wait for my eyes to dilate, so they had me look at frames to save time instead of sitting in a room waiting. I've always been impressed with how personable all of their staff is, and how much they really want you to be happy in your frames. I picked my frames up 2 weeks later, a week ahead of promised timeframe. Overall if you're looking for an eye clinic in the area, it's an amazing option to choose.

Thanks to the trusty Yelp! app,  I found a new shop a quick skyway walk from my office. I came into Metro Optics with a new prescription from my doctor. I was told that they have a doctor on-site (ow! bad pun!) but I didn't need this at that time. Jerome and Crystal immediately accepted the challenge and - honestly! - it took no time to find six different frames that I really liked. They each helped me to narrow and prioritize my choices, leaving me feeling very excited for a new pair of glasses. I'm so tired of the old nerd look (yeah, I'm not terribly creative) and I loved that there were so many choices available. I've since picked up my frames and had them adjusted a bit further. Every time I come in both Crystal and Jeremy are friendly, professional and fun to chat with. I feel really good about the selection I made for both the shop and my glasses. I recommend that anyone wanting personalized service and a unique selection find their way here. You won't be disappointed!

I decided to get contacts and have to say I was very nervous about touching anything to my eyeball. (Yes I know you've heard this story before) No worries my friends because KiKi will take care of you. We spent a half our together getting the lay of the eyeball and all the contact techniques. KiKi was also the one who yes/no'd every pair of glasses I tried; "too big for your face, to wide, to small..." She practically runs that place. I also really like the Dr. I saw this time and will continue to request him every visit. (I think they rotate 3) And of course I can't think of his name! I'll get back to you. He really gave me the best info I've ever received about which contacts/glasses are best for me. So you SEE? It's a nice play to take your eyes.
