Dr. Pradham was nice but she said my problem was mites in my eyelashes. Sold me a little can of foam for $16 which didn't help me a bit. Took the prescription for my glasses to Costco and they were terrible. I went to another eye doctor and they got the correct prescription and now I see fine. So now I get emails from her selling her books. The a couple of weeks ago I got an email saying I owe them $100 for missing an appointment. I had canceled that appointment when I found out the prescription was wrong. I never received a reminder email or phone call so I called and they reluctantly said I would not have to pay.

Every one of the staff were very professional and I felt completely at ease. They answered all of my questions so I couldn't wait for the surgery. I couldn't believe that I could see right after the surgery without glasses!

I went to VEI at Short Pump because my wife had a good experience there. I was careful to make an…read moreappt with the same eye doc she saw. When it was time for my appt, I didn't get the eye doc I requested -- got someone else instead. patel (not who I requested) rushed me through the exam. I filled the prescription ($600) and can't see at all through those glasses. I don't understand how my $10 off-the-shelf reading glasses work yet my $600 prescription glasses from VEI don't work AT ALL. My eyesight is so blurry with the VEI glasses, that I suspect patel made a mistake during the rushed exam... or wrote the RX incorrectly, or the glasses were built incorrectly. Nearly a year later, I decided to give VEI another chance. Again, I requested the same eye doc my wife had a good experience with. VEI didn't bother to call me back to make an appt. PROS: It's a nice facility It's conveniently located CONS: The eye doc I saw wasn't the eye doc I requested The eye doc I saw rushed me through the exam The $600 glasses I purchased as a result of the exam are unusable Lazy front desk staff When given a second chance, they blew it I made the mistake of trying VEI the first time without checking Yelp first. Had I checked Yelp, I would have seen all the 1-star and 2-star reviews and would gone elsewhere (and would have saved $600). Lesson learned: check Yelp first! I'm going elsewhere and telling my wife not to recommend or refer VEI to anyone.

The reason I tapped on maybe is because the service was good for awhile but lately the phone…read moreservice has been terrible. On 5/26/26 I got a txt from the eye doctor's office stating they were having computer problems and was cancelling all appointments for 05/27/26 and would call to reschedule. I waited two days and no call. The following week I waited until Tuesday of the following week, still no call back. So I called and asked about rescheduling and was asked to give my name and number which I gave to the operator. Waited until the following Monday, still no call back. So on Monday, June 8,2026 I called again, told the operator what happened and I still needed to make an appointment. Her was response was not, sorry for the delay or your inconvenience, but instead she went immediately to name, number and the earliest date I have for you is August 2026, 3 months after my original date. This is terrible customer service. Through no fault of my own apparently I have to wait 3 months because of a computer problem on their end. If I waited until under 24 hours before my appointment they would have tried to charge me. Not even so much as an if they get an opening they will call. Nothing and a very dry attitude about offering any assistance for their poor customer service. During this interim between now and August I need to find another eye doctor's office. I pay good money for services but apparently that doesn't matter to Virginia Eye Institute no matter how big or beautiful their buildings are, it should be more important to provide good customer service and patient services.

I have worn glasses and contacts for a very long time. In 2010 or 2011, I met someone who had lasik…read moresurgery and she was telling me it was the best decision she's ever made and her only regret is not doing it sooner. In 2021, I told my eye doctor I wanted lasik because wearing glasses and contacts just ain't it and I am tired. Lol. They recommended a place to me that they work with. I called them a couple of times, no call back. I did my own research and found some good reviews at Lasik eye institute. I got an appointment right away, went in for the consultation. Everyone was great, everything went fine. They explained everything in details to me. I was excited to do it but it took me a while to come up with a date because I was so nervous. I finally decided to do it last month and although I was still nervous, I knew it is the best decision. The staff, doctors, and surgeon makes everything easy and I wasn't as nervous. You meet with the surgeon before the surgery. He explains everything. The procedure was about 10-15 minutes long. I only felt pressure in my eyes. The surgeon talked to me throughout letting me know what was going on and assuring me that I was doing great. That was very comforting. Like I mentioned, so far my experience has been good but my only issue is that, it does take a while to get someone at the center to speak to. When you call you get the customer service people and they tell you they will put a note in so someone from this location can give you a call. It has been 3 times that I have waited 3 to 4 days before getting a call back. I went to see my eye doctor and I had some questions regarding my surgery and asked for someone to call me back but still haven't gotten a call back. This makes be nervous because you only get a postop visit the day after surgery and they tell you to call if there any issue. Overall, great experience. I should have done this sooner. I have recommended this place to a lot of people already. I am only giving them 4 stars because of the calling thing. But everything else was great.

Dr. Billmayer was *very* knowledgeable and did things to help me transition from single vision to progressive lenses that others hadn't in the past. I now am in a multi-focal contact that is amazing. On top of that, Andrew the optician called around to get me replacement lenses for my old glasses frames in a couple of *days* instead of weeks. And he did so by tracing my frames instead of taking them. Brenda was also very helpful in getting me started and making me feel welcome. You can try to purchase $40 glasses online, but beware of what you might get. And the staff at Envision will more than earn your business.
