My visit was over a year ago. I was 44 at the time and have been nearsighted my entire life. I never had issues reading, but with my new prescription I have to remove my glasses to read. I informed Whylie Eye Care of this and they simply told me, you'll probably need bi-focals next time.
According to ChatGPT:
1. It is very common for my age group to need to switch to a bi-focal, the doctor should know this and this should've been caught during the eye test. They should've tested my near vision with the updated prescription.
2. When I informed them of my issue, they should've offered a free recheck and a remake (I pay any difference for bifocals).
3. They should've explained presbyopia.
The fact they did none of the above and left me hanging with a pair of glasses that are only functional for seeing far away, means I won't be returning to them. I spent over $400 on the glasses and lenses.

They were very friendly, I just wish they had more colors to choose from in their Oakley brand frames other than black. I'd prefer like a purple or blue, something more fir a woman. But staff is a 5 star..

I have been debating posting or not. I still have to go back there for a follow-up adjustment.
The experience could have been better. A lady knocked, opened the door, entered and plopped down on her stool.
No introduction. No clarifying who I was. Just no personable skills whatsoever.
Seemed rude, in my opinion.
I still have never learned her name.
That just seems weird to me.
Zero stars would suit this review better.
