Excellent personal care and fast service. I went here for 2/3 of my most recent annual eye exams and had my current eye glasses made there 2 or 3 years ago (soon to be replaced with stronger prescription lenses). Their exam process is a traditional eye exam, it’s been over a year since my last visit so I can’t fully remember but I don’t recall any too high-tech, but Dr. Watson is patient, meticulous, professional, and friendly! I bought a good looking and comfortable eyeglass frame they had in stock, and they were able to get my glasses to keep super quick (I think it was the same day as my exam) as they have the equipment onsite to make lenses (at least for single prescription lenses). The only reason I didn’t get my exam done there this year is due to a significant change in my vision which made me want to get checked out by high-tech equipment that scans all the various aspects of one’s eyes to check for problems that might not be seen otherwise, but I still might have them make glasses for me since they’re so quick!

Earlier this year, I broke my glasses, and decided to try Dr Watton bases on his good reviews. I had to make an appointment a month and a half out, The exam went very well, it took extremely long to get the glasses in. When I arrived to pick them up I had to rush through the fitting, because they we're busy. Over time I Wasn't unable to adjust to the glasses. I went back in for adjustments, which didn't help. so I had to wait another month to see the Dr. again. They repeated the eye exam and checked the glasses, and said they checked out ok, that it was just my eyes. If i put on a pair of old glasses i see ok. ? Now here I am out $500 and have to find someone else to do another exam. Never experienced this lack of care before and Iv'e worn glasses for 50 years.:(

Very kind Doctir and staff. Good selection of frames with multiple options for lenses. Got me in for an emergency and solves my problem with precision.

I have a yearly checkup and get my contact prescription renewed each year. Always a professional staff. I like the idea of seeing the same doctor year after year. I waited a little long this year and was on my last month contact before making the appointment. They gave me the exam, an extra contact in case I damaged mine, and had my new contacts ready for pick up in just a few days. Couldn't ask for a nicer experience.

Maggie was super helpful! I'm new to the area and needed safety glasses/lenses for work and she was able to help me. I am also very grateful this location welcomes walk-ins if they have the capacity. Thank you again everyone!
