    The people were nice but I was very disappointed in the fact that they didn't give me a choice between having my eyes dilated for no additional charge or to pay $39.00 for a procedure they said would cause my eyes to be less blurry. Instead they insisted on me paying the $39.00 for the other procedure until I asked if that the only way that I could get an eye exam, then and only then did they mention dilation. I am on a fixed income and my exams and my eyeglasses are normally covered at no charge to me. But at this establishment I would have to pay out of pocket for my eyeglasses. By the way I called and asked if they accepted my medicare insurance and they said that they did. Well the only thing that I was able to get was an eye exam because I couldn't afford the eyeglasses. Nice place to go if you can afford their prices even though you have insurance that normally covers everything. NOTE: I had to ask for my prescription in order to go and get my eyeglasses elsewhere. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
