Firstly, Dr. Gifford is an excellent and caring doctor; I've been a patient with him for many years and hope to be for many more. Secondly, the staff at the desk have always been really kind and helpful. Today I had to return to the office because my new glasses weren't fitting right after a week of wear, and they knew just what to do to correct the shape and fit for my face and lens shape/prescription. I highly recommend Red Eye!

Dr. Patel suggested a new dry eye treatment in office that was a miracle!! I've always suffered from dry eye, and after Lasik/PRK it's gotten worse. The treatment was a combination of radio frequency and intense pulse light. The process was easy and painless! I am so thankful to Dr. Patel for her suggestion, my dry eye is practically gone!!
Great place. We’ve been going to Red Eye for several year. The staff is always warm and welcoming and it’s like no time has passed between visits. With a broad selection of eyewear and great recommendations for contacts or even LASIK .
I’m pretty sure that I’ve been visiting Red Eye and Dr. Gifford since 2008. Ever since that first visit, I’ve had absolutely no reason to consider going elsewhere. The staff has always been pleasant. The selection of frames is ever changing and always fun to browse. As for Dr. Gifford, either my life is incredibly interesting OR he is one of the best listeners and conversationalists I’ve ever met. Every visit feels like our chats have picked up exactly where they left off. I’ve been recommending this place for years and I plan on continuing to do so.
