Positives: Great eye dr and great asst who did the initial exams and fantastic selection of frames to choose from. Details of negative experience: My prescription was the same so I was shopping for sunglasses. The optician cleaned my regular, perfectly functioning glasses WITHOUT me asking for this "service" and the lenses had a reaction to the cleaning fluid and were "crazed". I.E. no longer functioning. Ruined. She acted like this was not a big deal. I was stressing that I can no longer see through them and how was I going to safely get home, etc. She responded with "Well, I said I was sorry!" It took me having a meltdown in the place for her to finally offer to cut single view lenses to carry me over and then she would order the progressive/transitional lenses that I had. And she told me I should be happy that she has the skills to do that since she's the only one in the area. I responded, "well you ARE the one who ruined my glasses. " Happy? I don't think so. I'm in my 50's and this was the single worst customer experience I've ever had in my entire life. I will not return there. A very simple way this should've been handled by this optician... "I attempted to clean your glasses and unfortunately they had an unexpected reaction to the cleaning fluid. They are destroyed. But what I'll do is cut you some single vision lenses today so you can see and I'll order the progressive/transitional lenses. They'll be in in appx two weeks. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience." That's literally all she would've had to do to handle the situation properly. I wouldn't have been annoyed AT ALL.

Really enjoy the atmosphere! It doesn't appear from the outside to be a large space but it surprisingly is. They have a good variety of glasses, the doctor is very knowledgeable and explains everything she's doing. I always hate going to new places but everyone from the front desk to the ladies in the back made me feel very comfortable!
I've always liked it here. Kind informative patient (especially with kids!!) I could go to a closer location or eye place but I'll make that hour trip knowing it'll be a pleasant experience. Shout-out to Sir William McCray for not only making sure my son's glasses fit well but also took a moment out of his day to help fix my glasses which were tweaked due to my toddler getting ahold of them. Thank you!!!
Amazing service, walked in after I clumsily broke my eyeglasses and William fixed them immediately and even went above and beyond replacing the nose pads as well. Definitely earned a long term customer here.
Love going to this office and seeing Dr. Strand. The variety of glasses they have is great! The staff is so friendly. The ladies at the front desk are amazing! They all came out from behind the desk to help me choose my glasses because I couldn't decide which ones I wanted or looked the best.
