I have went to this Vision Center a few times over the years. I don't know if its the workers today, but they are NOT as good as they use to be. I went to get a new prescription for contacts 06/2026, and paid out of pocket $180 where just couple years ago it was $120. They seem nice and helpful until there was a problem. I went on june 6, 2026 saturday and 3 days later something is wrong and my eye starts burning and tears running from eye and bloodshot. I go to the VA ER and they run test on my eye and i have a abrasion on my left inside of my eye. The doctor tells me to throw away the contact. it takes from Thursday to Tuesday for my eye to heel or so i assume. I call the Vision Center to see if the doctor can just look at my eye to tell me if its healed and if there is anyway i can get another trail pair since i had to throw the others away. The Assistant tells me they would have to charge me another $120 because she told me it wasn't there fault. How does she know its not their fault after only a couple days of having the contact in. Then i ask if the doctor can't see me can i atleast get another trail pair since i had to throw those away and she said she would have to ask the doc DR. Jones, that was yesterday on tuesday and haven't heard anything back. So i won't be going back, i will find a doctor who can take care of their patients. Very poor Patient Assistance!

If I could give 10 star, I would! Eddie was great in customer service! He’s approachable and friendly as well as the lady who worked with him during my visit, Sonidja (not sure of the spelling) but they were all helpful!! Eddie was easy to deal with! He was very patient, knowledgeable and explained my insurance coverage clearly 😊 I would definitely come back!
Amazing customer service; Eddie was very knowledgeable and patient. My mom and I was indecisive, Eddie and Sonya went over and beyond to look for more frames to help make our decision easier. Thanks for your great help!
Eddie exemplified exceptional customer service. He is always very courteous and friendly to his customers. Eddie makes his customers feel welcome with his professionalism and sense of humor. Anytime I’m in Walmart in Ridgeland, MS shopping I always see Eddie in the vision center and how nice he is to his customers. He always has the willingness to help his customers with whatever they need. Keep on being you Eddie, you’re doing an excellent job.
