- DFDennis FriedrichsenOct 31, 20253.0Had to wait 25-30 minutes beyond scheduled appointment time to be seen. After that, it was fine.

- JCJamison CrabtreeSep 17, 20255.0Hands down, this has been my best experience with any type of healthcare provider in over a decade. Dr. Mehta was informative, friendly, and patient with all of my questions. Before coming in for my eye exam, I didn't realize that I had any eye-related health insurance. My previous optometrist hadn't bothered to check, so I'd planned to pay out of pocket. But Dr. Mehta took the extra step to check, just in case, and she ended up saving me 100% of the exam cost and 50% of the eyewear costs. She also helped me find a type of lens related to my needs, which primarily involved reading books/screens, while all my previous glasses from other optometrists were intended for constant use. After telling her I was visiting from rural Virginia, she even offered recommendations for cafes and parks to check out while in Minneapolis. The staff was equally helpful and friendly. I'm more focused on functionality than fashion, and Trevor helped me find a set of frames suited to maximizing my field of vision. He also helped me find a similar pair, which looked a lot better on me. When I picked them up, he also helped me adjust them to sit more naturally on my nose. The glasses that the team at Optom Spot helped me find made me realize that none of my previous sets of glasses were accurately prescribed and focused for my eyes. For the first time in three years, I'm able to read like I used to-- without having to move my head in odd ways to bring things into focus. I'm incredibly thankful to the team at Optom Spot, and strongly recommend them to everyone (especially to people, like me, who experience a lot of anxiety over interacting with healthcare professionals).

Is a contact lens exam different than an eye exam?
A normal, comprehensive eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses.

There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients).
