We had a great experience at Karns Vision Center! Everyone was so kind, patient, and welcoming with my daughter. They were very thorough and took the time to explain everything to us. She even got to pick out a pair of glasses she loves and is so excited to get them when her frames come in🙂 We really appreciate the wonderful care and will definitely be back. Highly recommend Karns Vision Center! Also, I want to clarify that the negative review from someone with a name very similar to mine was not written by me and is not associated with me in any way.

Such a great experience at Karns Vision Center! Dr. Michelle was amazing, kind, and very professional. Her team was wonderful and made everything easy and comfortable. I got my prescription renewed smoothly and will absolutely be back for my routine exams.

I came to the office with HORRIBLE pain (I legit could not even open my eyes) and Dr.Shane was truly an angel with me. He explained what was happening and why I was feeling pain, what I needed to do, and was overall such a sweet and patient person with me. He told me to come back a few days later to check how my eyes were doing (they were doing much better by that point thanks to him!) and he helped me get new glasses at such a great price! Im so happy and content about my experience here! Thank you so much!

My husband got something in his eye around 7pm. We could see it, but couldn’t tell what it was. We flushed his eye with water and used lubricating drops to no avail. I called the after hours number and Dr. Presson met us at the office 30 min later and got the object out. He was really nice and took great care of my husband. So thankful for his kindness and care.
