I recently visited Community Eye Care Center, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about all of their products. They helped me select a pair of glasses that looked great on me and fit comfortably. The store was clean and well-organized, making it easy to browse their extensive selection of frames. The optometrist was also fantastic and performed a thorough eye exam, explaining everything along the way. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the products and service, and I will definitely be returning in the future. Overall, I highly recommend Community Eye Care Center for anyone in need of eye care or glasses.

I have been coming to community eye care for 12 years, this is the BEST eye place I’ve been going to. The staff is extremely friendly and caring to your needs. The receptionist Myrta is the sweetest and most helpful person. I love coming here, the prices are not bad and I’m usually seen within a good time frame. I absolutely recommend this place.

I called w questions and happen to get the “manager” on the phone. I put manager in quotes because she lacked in every area of the manager JD. She was abrupt and rude as soon as I started talking not giving me a chance to explain the purpose of my call.. which was my sons eye glass frame was broken and I wanted to bring them in for a new frame. When I arrived I asked for her since we had spoken and I gave her the glasses, she looked at them and within 2 seconds said these have glue on them I can’t pop the lenses out. In short refusing to try and stating my son needs to come in for a new exam and then purchase a new pair. Complete disregard that he cannot see without glasses. I left annoyed and no other office could fit him in so I called her back and asked how do u know u cannot pop out the lenses when u didn’t even try, again rudely stated I would have to sign a waiver in the event she cracks the lenses if I wanted her to try. The frame had glue on them but not the lenses. I decided to go to another eye doctor whose manager was pleasant and welcoming. She immediately popped the lenses out, didn’t have any concern whatsoever and I left there with a new frame within 20 minutes. Props to Morrell Eye Care Center. Shame on the “manager” what a poor attitude and customer service skills. Clearly she didn’t like that I checked her over our phone call for being rude to me and decided to be petty and not provide the service that she is paid to provide. My son will never come there again.
