I had a fantastic experience at Clarity Eye Care! The staff is incredibly welcoming, enthusiastic, and highly professional. I came in with a damaged pair of glasses, and they were able to help me get them repaired super quickly. A huge plus is that they accept student health insurance, which made the whole process seamless and affordable. Highly recommend them to any students in the area!

Be aware that you cannot just get an eye exam at this location if this is all that you would like. The eye exam is in included in their other service and you will not be able to only get an eye exam which I thought was shocking. I’ve had a childhood optometrist that I go to regularly and other optometrist that I’ve visited before and have been able to only get an eye exam do check ups. I can understand the importance of a thorough eye exam if you need a diagnosis but for a regular update on prescription this feels unnecessary. If feels like they are trying to upsell you for another service which I was shocked by. I am not sure if this is just the American system of upselling and charging it to your insurance.. this feels foreign to me
Clarity is the best option for convenient eye care located in Collegetown. I went in for a casual eye exam just to get a better sense of the visual hardware I was working with, and the team at Clarity made me feel welcome and took great care of me! I recommend Dawn, Betsy, and Dr. Kevan Smith.
I have visited more than three eye clinics in Ithaca, and I am confident that Dr. Smith is the best. He is patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. It is a great pleasure to be his patient. Cindy is also very kind and caring. Over my year-long experience with Clarity, I have encountered only one minor issue: they occasionally miss updating patients about contact lens orders. Once, I waited nearly two months for my lenses and discovered, after calling, that they had arrived over a month earlier. I am sure this was an oversight, and I am confident they will improve their process in the future.
Chuck is awesome. He knows what he's talking about. He knows what he's doing. He knows how to treat his customers. I lost my only pair of glasses on day 1 of our family vacation on Seneca Lake. I called all the local optical stores in Ithaca AND Syracuse. Classic Optical was the only one who was able to order and produce lenses for me in 24hrs. Lenscrafter and Costco both said it would take over 2 weeks! I plan on mailing him my spare glasses when I get home after this vacay and have him put in my updated prescription lenses. Yes..he is that good and reliable. Also - Ithaca is a great town!
