The eye exam and contact prescription with Dr Castleberry was thorough and comfortable. She was able to see me as I had to make a last minute appointment so that was awesome and she was able to get my contacts in within the week before I went back to school. The staff was welcoming and friendly. I would recommend this Pearle Vision in Athens.

I can’t recommend this Pearle Vision in Athens,GA enough! Dr Castleberry did a wonderful job in her examination and answered all of my questions about getting progressives(I have a current pair that haven’t seemed to make my vision better). When I picked up my glasses they worked great and have not had any headaches. They have a great selection of glasses and the Dr even came out and helped me pick out a frame that fits and looks good on my face. The office staff is very professional and friendly as well.

The ophthalmologist has always been very good, but the side where the glasses are ordered is terrible! The service is very slow, even if you have an appointment. The person who cut my lens to put in the frames cut into my lens so the whole thing had to be reordered. I had already been without my glasses for almost 2 weeks so now it has been another week and they're still not in! They would not try to expedite them. Never again!

Glasses cost over $500, yet the lenses break off within a month! RIDICOULOUS! And to get them replaced, I have to pay another $130, how convenient! I won't go back here even if you paid me! BEWARE!!!!
