I had a wonderful time for the most part.
Let's get the complaints out of the way before getting to the good stuff:
1. Not accepting insurance is unfortunate.
2. I continue to object to Walmart's refusal to accept Apple Pay, manual card entry, or payment over the phone. This caused me to be unable to get my contact lenses as I have lost my physical debit card.
Anyway, I otherwise had a wonderful time.
The optometrist, Alan, charged a reasonable rate, was very friendly in general, and very helpful during the exam and with recommending the right contacts for my budget and preference. This is probably the best experience I have had with an eye exam. No doubt I will likely return.
Also, due to the aforementioned payment complaints, I had a rough time trying to install a WalMart app and get my payments to go through, but Wendy, the woman helping me, was way more patient with me than one would normally expect. I most likely annoyed the heck out of her, and I most certainly took up a large amount of her time, but she was truly great. read more
