I was experiencing flurries in my vision which resulted in my booking an appointment on a whim (without active insurance). They conducted a lot of thorough tests, including what I believe was a retinal scan. The cost was not bad for the amount of testing (~$150) and gave me great ease of mind. Will definitely come back!

I brought my daughter here because this is where she has gone before and I wanted to support local businesses but it wasn’t a good experience. Dr. Patel’s team insisted that my vision insurance card was for medical insurance. I tried to explain to them that it is my vision insurance card (it says vision insurance on the card) but they were very dismissive. They printed a form showing that I was enrolled in the insurance matching my card. I thought we had cleared it up, but then Dr Patel brought me into another room and brought it up again. I couldn’t understand why they were being so argumentative and when I asked Dr Patel to articulate her concern she didn’t have a take away. The rest of the appointment didn’t go well. I was unhappy with how things were handled and Dr. Patel just acted like everything was fine. I found it unauthentic and it felt condescending. It wasn’t worth the stress. I’ll take my daughter to For Eyes next time. That’s where I go and I’ve always had a good experience.
Dr. LaBrosse was great but unfortunately she is no longer there. When buying glasses or new lenses for my glasses, I never felt I got an honest breakdown of all the costs. And now they just "pre-appointed" an appointment for me, without my authorization. It's time to find a new optometrist.
Dr. Patel is, for lack of better words… VERY thorough and amazing at her job. I haven’t gotten this level of care for my eyes… ever. I have medically necessary contacts and glasses and I had no clue until the day of my appt that I no longer needed to pay OOP. Thank you so much Dr., it’s evident you are really diligent about making sure we see better ^-^. Adjusting my prescription has legitimately improved my quality of life overnight. And shout out to front desk staff that was kind, patient and accommodating with me. Thank you!
Really nice place with a good upscale selection of frames. Dr Patel was excellent. Thorough and professional. And Kisha really helped choosing frames and getting us the best price. So glad we chose this optician.
