Had a terrible experience. Went in for a rather routine exam, left with a prescription. Note that this exam ONLY provided a prescription with a Sphere number for each eye. I got the glasses with the new prescription, and my left eye was in massive pain compared to my old ones.
I made another appointment to discuss this after trying for a full week and a half in hopes I could adjust. Thankfully this visit was free of charge, because it was the worst visit I've ever had.
I arrived at 1pm as per my appointment time. At 1:45, she called me in to put something in my eyes "but she wasn't dilating them." 20 minutes pass. She then spends time trying to tell me my glasses were too STRONG (noting that she *already* weakened the left eye last visit) or that they were manufactured incorrectly.
She then proceeded to talk to me like I was an idiot, ignore every statement I made, and then started mentioning astigmatism that never came up in the first visit. Lo and behold, she produces a "reprint" of my previous prescription that now includes a -0.50 cylinder adjustment she must've just *forgotten* last time. She then ushers me out, without even a word about the fact that she *did* dilate my eyes, and without any mention about it being unsafe to drive.
She seemed all too eager to make the issues she caused be blamed on anyone or anything else. Not once was there an apology, or acknowledgement there was an error. I am never coming back to this location again, and my friend that referred me has also sworn off coming back because she got a play-by-play of the whole thing over text.
