I used to go to an optometrist by Mount Tabor and felt like they didn’t care about adequate eye care for me. They were very judgmental and seemed hellbent on pushing laser eye surgery instead of supporting my preference for glasses or contacts. After six years there feeling undervalued, I tried Foster Vision and had a completely different experience. My first appointment was excellent - they improved my prescription far more than I thought possible. I’m seeing better than I have in six years and I’m so grateful for their care.

They have a lovely office and the staff are nice. My main issue is that the quality of the exam is not great. I went there twice and they didn't fully correct my vision. I actually bought trial lenses, and refracted myself. The script they wrote gave me 20/30 vision. The rx i wrote gave me 20/15 vision. I tested at optical infinity using a Snellen chart. Ended up buying lovely lenses on zenni optical and my vision has never been so crisp. Given that i am not a doctor, i think it's a failing on foster vision that they could not get the rx correct after two tries. Please take more time during your exams!
I decided to get me really good glasses. I pay out of pocket and was in a position to get high quality glasses, so I went here. I bought two pair which cost me over $1800.00. These are the worse glasses I have ever had. They had to have them redone once, they are progressive lenses and they weren't lined up properly and everything was blurry. I have worn one pair for about the last 5 or 6 months but they got broke, so I got the 2nd pair I bought. Everything is blurry. They are not fitted to fit my face, and the "bi focal" area is way too low. I hate them. I had to pay for a warranty, and honestly I don't want to go back to them to get new ones made. I'm going back to America's Best to get new ones made. I could have gotten 4-5 pair for what I paid for two pairs here The frames are all loose, after only wearing them for a month, and I'm just very disappointed. I've learned my lesson.
I had an excellent new patient experience at Foster Vision! Their online appointment scheduling process is convenient and user-friendly. Everyone that I interacted with here was helpful, professional and kind, from getting checked in and out with the office staff, to working with the exam tech and Dr. Tong. I especially appreciated the knowledge and intentional care of everyone on staff; they explained each step of the process to make me feel informed and comfortable, from the actual vision care to understanding Moda insurance billing. Something that makes Foster Vision stand out to me is their efficiency. Without feeling rushed, they are able to provide quick & quality care that shows they value both their patients' vision health and their time.
My whole family has been getting glasses from Foster Vision for years. Today, Diana did a great job helping me pick new frames that I absolutely love. Can't wait until they come back with my lenses!
