Called to set up my kiddos appointments, couldn't find the current insurance card but had their numbers written down. I was told by the receptionist that she was to busy to look it up by number and find out who insurance provider was. This is litterally part of her job, and as far as being to busy well guess what I will help them get unbusy by taking my families eye care else where.

After I got my glasses I noticed a minor problem with them. They had me come in the next day and the problem was quickly fixed. Everyone was very professional and so pleasant. Glasses are expensive but these were cheaper than my last eye place. Now I know why my family comes here
I was visiting from out of town and woke up with a terrible pain in my eye. I looked online for an eye doctor and found Skiba Vision Center. I called and explained my situation to the woman that answered the phone. She was so understanding and kind. She told me they could see me if I could head over there soon and that they would fit me in. I saw Dr. Styma and she was wonderful! She knew right away what it was and really explained to me in terms that I could understand what was going on with my eye and what we were going to do to try to help it. She told me she would send over my paperwork to my eye doctor back at home so that they would know what was going on and that she wanted me to follow up with them. She dilated my eye to stop the pain (And it worked!) And called in a prescription for steriod drops. I immediately started feeling better after I left. The drops helped so much and with 20 minutes of me leaving the office my ophthalmologist at home had already called me to schedule an appointment and said Dr. Styma had contacted them. When I saw my DO he told me he was really impressed with Dr. Styma and how quickly she handled things, her diagnosis and the treatment. I am SO THANKFUL for their kindness and for getting me in so quick. I was hundreds of miles from home and i was able to stop panicking and enjoy the rest of my weekend pain free. Dr. Styma really helped me. I can't recommend them enough. THANK YOU!!!
I have keratoconus. For years, I'd been told by several specialists that my only option was a double cornea transplant. When I came here I was already in that mindset. I didn't want to get a transplant, but I'd have to discuss it. To my surprise, they began fitting me for scleral lenses. It was a process, and I was fearful. My doctor was patient. Accurate. Kind. Understanding. He fitted me for lenses, which I believed wasn't possible, and he gave me the greatest gift of sight back. I wasn't able to see a straight line for over a decade. Now I can see. Literally a miracle. There's no possible way I could ever thank this vision center considering how I feel. There are no words to describe it. You gave me the hope and freedom to live normally again. Thank you.
The staff is always helpful and kind and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we have what we need. They have a large selection of frames and the staff is very knowledgeable. They make getting new glasses and contacts easy!
