This is my 3rd time to go here and have always had great customer service. Appointments are timely and this time, the person handling my eye glass prescription was really great about explaining my benefits so I could get everything I needed. I highly recommend them!

I have a history of numerous eye problems (ie: retinal detachment, cataracts w/ lens replacement, retinal vein occlusion & macular degeneration). Dr Bate gave me the best optometric exam I have ever had & significantly improved my vision with the prescription & glasses lenses.
