Blackmail. Fraud. Do NOT Recommend. I paid $200+ for a full contacts exam in November 2024 to get my prescription refilled for the total 1 contacts I have worn for over 3 years already. The doctor confirmed thru the exam my prescription had not changed and gave me the prescription. She suggested I try some different contacts and gave me a sample. I tried them the next day but did not like them and went back to my original total 1's. Now in July I would like to order more of my total ones but Eyeglass World and the doctor will not sign the original prescription unless I pay an ADDITIONAL $200+ for an additional NEW EXAM even though legally the original prescription is good for one year and it has only been 6 months. This is extortion forcing me to PAY for a 2nd another exam. Fraud. Calling my lawyer. Unethical. I am willing to come in for the "follow Up" visit but I refuse to be blackmailed into paying for another exam when clearly this one is good for a full year and it has only been half a year. Total Fraud. I went in person they are unsympathetic. Spoke with manager. He tried to help but didn't. They refuse to give me my prescription I PAID FOR ORIGINALLY without paying in FULL again. Horrible Business. Do NOT Recommend.

One of the kindest, on the ball optometrists that you will encounter. Could not recommend her enough. No one compares to Dr. Gaukhshteyn!
