I wasn't comfortable with my latest prescription, so when ordering a new pair, I asked for other lenses to be made from an older prescription. No problem. Then there's his turn around time. Fast! I am very hard on my glasses, so they can end up scratched, without nose pads, or basically screwed up because I sat on them. Brett puts the same care in fixing my screw-ups as he does in making sure anything new is perfect. Highly recommend!!!!

Within a week and a half I got an appointment scheduled, and got my pair of glasses. Throughout my…read moreexperience, my only frustration is how frequent it seems they are doing training and have the doors locked during normal business hours. While I don't mind doing things online, I'm classic and prefer face to face interaction. I went to pick up my glasses today and they are exactly what I hoped for, very pleased with the product. Eric(I believe was his name), was doing training when I arrived on the computer, but luckily I called in and he picked up the phone to give me my glasses. During this experience, some woman came up and demanded he give her basically what I'm assuming was her lens prescription. He was very nice and explained that it is company policy to not give it out, as I'm assuming the eyeglasses are probably a large selling point for the company. She was extremely rude to someone just following protocol and doing their job, continuing to cuss at him and berate him for it. He handled the situation perfectly. Note: if not for the location being locked during normal business hours this would be a 5 star review. In my opinion, it is crucial for businesses to deliver on their promise of open store hours.

Having gone to Pearl Vision for over 30 years, maybe I've just been fortunate in having better than…read moreaverage experiences with optometric and other eye care facilities in the past. Unfortunately I failed to read all the negative reviews posted here which mimicked my same experience, and which would have prompted me to go elsewhere for my annual exam. I anticipated paying out of pocket to some degree, even though my supplemental vision insurance through Aetna typically covers everything including a trial pair of contact lenses. However I was told at check in that my 'fitting fee' would range anywhere from $40 to $190 and that my contact lenses would not 'necessarily' be covered. So after the initial introduction to Dr Wise I explained that in the past I had been a patient at Pearl vision in California and because I'm on a monthly budget and my questions had not been clearly answered by the staff, I was not feeling comfortable about the exam. Dr Wise responded that her staff does not provide a cost estimate until the insurance makes that determination. That she was the 'Doctor' and I should be happy to have the exam and that no one ever asks her about costs. She then told me to go back to Pearl - and California - and refused to proceed with the exam. As others mentioned below I am still in disbelief that anyone engaged in the medical industry could be so uncaring about a patients financial questions within today's rising costs. But more importantly as a senior citizen I felt totally disrespected and discriminated against. Since I had been on vacation in Beaufort at the time, I scheduled the next appointment with a Charleston optometrist who was able to give me an exact outline of what to expect on the date of exam with nothing more than my membership ID: No out of pocket - zero deductible - first sample pair free. Done.
