Because Magnolia Eye Associates at LensCrafters is heavily booked, usually about a month out, it was a bit of a struggle to find a day in their schedule that coincided with my availability from work. The assistant who ran the air puff test with the tonometer machine with me was curt and unfriendly.
However, my exceptional experience with the new optometrist, Dr. Danny Head, made my visit well worth the trip. He was punctual, warm, conversational, and above all, thorough at his job. For context, I have worn high-index lenses for many years for my high prescription with astigmatism. None of my previous optometrists across various states have ever gotten my prescription precisely right--my right eye in particular has always had to squint and adjust when at my reading-intensive job, and I've grown accustomed and resigned to the reality of having migraines more days than not as a result of the eye strain. Past optometrists have also struggled to correct my prescription when I return to them with these symptoms and complaints, and often attribute my headaches to other unknown sources. This was not the case with Dr. Head! All while casually chatting with me and making me feel at ease, he effortlessly cycled through a long and thorough series of lenses and tests. When he began to suspect that the power for my right eye has never been assessed correctly due to its extreme astigmatism, he ran some extra lens tests. Sure enough, the prescription came out the most crystal clear that I've been able to see in almost a decade. It has been almost four weeks now since I began using the new lenses, and not once have I suffered a migraine. Reading, which has been a lifelong love of mine for pleasure as well as for work, has become once again the joy that it was for me before. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Dr. Head for his amiable personality and his outstanding expertise.
