    Tara is Simply the Best! I’ve been purchasing eyeglasses from the LensCrafters in Suffolk, University BLVD for over five years. I always received fantastic customer service! Today Tara’s professionalism and attention to detail saved me from possible trauma because my optometrist assistant made a mistake with my prescription. Tara noticed that while I told her that my prescription had not changed, at all, she noticed that there was a significant change in the prescription based on my past five exams. She reached out to the optometrist and found out that a huge mistake had been made. Thanks to Tara, they corrected the prescription and saved me time, money, heart ache! She is the optimie of excellent customer care! Thank you!

    The exam itself was fine, but the communication was not. The doctor didn't explained the copay fully with how it works with my insurance, and when I tried to ask about it, I was interrupted. I left the appointment unsure about what I was being charged for.

    I can’t say enough good things about LensCrafters at Harborview in Suffolk! Debbie and Simone are absolutely amazing. Every time I walk in, they greet me with a smile and are always ready to help, no matter how small the request. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about making sure you leave happy. What really sets this location apart is the outstanding after-purchase service. Long after I bought my glasses, Debbie and Simone are still more than happy to adjust them (sometimes multiple times!) until the fit is absolutely perfect and comfortable. That kind of continued support is rare these days. This store has earned a customer for life. If you’re in the Suffolk area and need eyewear, do yourself a favor and go see Debbie and Simone at LensCrafters Harborview—you won’t be disappointed! Highly, highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions About LensCrafters

How do I know if my child needs glasses?

Taking your child to an optometrist for an eye exam is the best way to learn if your child needs glasses. Many children who need glasses aren’t aware that they do. Signs of vision problems in children include sitting too close to the television, squinting, sensitivity to light, difficulty with eye-hand coordination, and avoiding visual activities like reading and drawing. To see if your child needs glasses, schedule your child’s eye exam today.

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. During your contact lens fitting, detailed measurements of your eyes will be taken to determine the right contact lenses for you. There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients). Schedule your eye exam today to have all of your questions about contact lenses answered.
