I’ve been going to homer eye care for about two years now. In those two years I was bounced between the two doctors, I didn’t get to choose who I saw. On top of that, I had an injury to my cornea from my contacts. During my follow up from that I was told my eye was healed and I was pushed to order more contacts. Two days after wearing my contacts again I had awful pain in my eye. I ended up going to a different optometrist for a second opinion and found out that my eye had in fact not healed and was now worse. I was advised that I shouldn’t have tried putting contacts back in for months to let my cornea heal. Due to homer eye cares lack of care and their need to push selling lenses, I now have lasting damage in my eye. They also failed to tell me they don’t take federal employee blue cross insurance so I had to pay out of pocket unexpectedly. They had me file my own claim through insurance which was denied because I should have been informed that they do not take my insurance. This facility does not care about patient care, they care about money and getting people in and out as fast as possible. Though the staff is friendly I suggest going elsewhere unless you are just needing a new contact or lens prescription.

I love Homer Eye Care! From the time you walk in until you leave you feel very well taken care of! The staff is wonderful, kind, professional and helpful. Dr. Peters is so nice and very thorough. I trust my Eyecare to this great team. I would recommend Homer Eyecare to everyone!
I have been going to Homer Eyecare since 2005. The service is not only friendly but considerate of peoples needs for clear comminication and timely. They utilize texting in a personal and useful way. Automated responses have a personal and real time application. I called today and got a voice message that 'I called durring a team meeting and I could leave a message and they would get back to me after a spacific time.' I chose not to leave a message. I got a text follow up from them and I was able to handle my interaction to a succesful end over text. Every visit over the years has left me with better understanding of my eye health and its fun to hear about the training that the staff keep up on. I am pretty hard on glasses and these frames and lenses have lasted me 5 years. Getting my glasses adjusted has always been an easy walk in experience. It is clear that the people working at Homer Eye Care are making a living wage and are happy and engaged. I have really enjoyed my visits and I hope to find an office in Anchorage that lives up to the standard they have set.
Messaged my problem on the emergency text line explained what my problem was. I had metal in my eye from the day before and woke up the next morning. It’s still in there. Could I please see somebody cause it had a lot of pain they said come in first thing at 8:30 in the morning when we open and we’ll get you right in and they did. I think that’s more than reasonable.
