I highly recommend this place for your eyes. The place is very homey feeling, any nervousness i was feeling went away fast. The people there are nice, the prices are really good,especially comparative to other eye busineses . Dr Barber is great ,took his time no rushing very caring and professional .. This long run family business is really great I highly recommend it to anyone .. I would give this place more star if they were available to 😉

Dr. Barber and his staff took very good care of my fiancé and I! Both of us got an exam and new glasses! I'm happy to have established a good eye doctor in Gainesville, that we'll see yearly while we live here for the next couple of years!
My glasses frames broke, and I needed a quick fix. They were able to find replacement frames within my price range and put my lens in in minutes. Excellent and quick service, and the location is pretty cute also.
Had a great experience at UO. Dr. Barber was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time, explained everything fully to me, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I'm sure most of us have had the experience of visiting a doctor who dismissed some of our concerns, and I'm happy to say I had the opposite experience with Dr. Barber. He made me feel comfortable to ask anything and I felt like I was learning a lot about my eyes in general. The front staff were super friendly as well and took their time to explain the process. Scheduling was a breeze and so was getting my insurance processed. They also take Apple Pay! The store/space was very clean as well. No issue finding a parking space as well. I would definitely recommend them.
Amazing people. Called in for glasses & contact lens fitting and was seen on the same day. The doctor was incredibly friendly and took time to not only hear my concerns about my vision but also to give me some advice on different glasses. He also said that given my stabilized vision I would receive a 2 year prescription, which was really convenient. All in all I really couldn't be happier with the service, friendliness, and professionalism that I got from my appointment. Will definitely be returning.
