Needed a referral for blurry vision. They told me to wait and see if it improves with their new glasses. Mind you I have three different pairs, all same script, one with anti glare lens. I called them back to ask for the referral, and they stonewalled me. They ask me to come back, try some different glasses, all at my expense. Since insurance just paid, I have to wait. Now I have three pairs of glasses, and blurry vision in one eye, especially with lights. I need to have them dilated and checked further. I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!

Sends emails about making appointment because it’s time and then I have to wait almost another year……also the last few pairs of glasses I have gotten have been junk and I paid for some “good ones” including lenses and they got all scratched up with microfiber lens clothes. The female I spoke to when I spoke about this seemed she could care less. How disappointing! I paid $4$$ for my last pair the arm broke before i even had them a year. Calvin Klein frames not cheap.
My wife picked up her glasses Wednesday. November 29th, she really loves them. And thank you so much for taking care of her and for telling us how to get an earlier appointment. By calling after 5 to see if there were cancelations. God bless you for having medicaid and helping people who can no longer afford. To buy expensive glasses.
"I cannot say enough good things about the Bard Optical on Dirksen. I went in with my mom and I was so happy with how amazing they treated her—they really went above and beyond to make sure she was taken care of. The front staff was amazing as well; they were super fast, efficient, and genuinely kind people. The building itself was very clean and organized, which is always a huge plus. I would highly recommend this place to anybody that needs glasses. Great experience all around!"
My first visit I went to look at frames but really wanted to use a frame I already had, but could not find. Ava was very pleasant and put all my info in the computer. I went back with my frames and Natalie helped my through the process. She was very pleasant and eager to help. I enjoyed my business at Bard! I went back to pick my glasses up and again was met with friendliness and courtesy! THANK YOU!
