My 8-year-old daughter had an emergency after my toddler accidentally poked her in the eye and…read moreended up scratching her cornea pretty badly (we only found out later). She was screaming and panicking. She's normally a very calm child, so when she reacts like that, I know it's serious. Long story long, since this office was very close by, I rushed over because in an eye emergency, an actual eye doctor--with the proper tools and machines--is much more effective than a general ER. By the time I got there, it had been almost 30 minutes and she still couldn't open her eye or see, so I rushed inside. They were closing in 5 minutes, which I understood, but the very first thing the receptionist said was, "We're closing." I quickly explained that my daughter was crying in the car, couldn't open her eye at all, and I was extremely worried something serious had happened. I told her I was willing to pay anything for a quick consult. She politely said she would check with the doctor. She came back shortly after and said the doctor was set to leave soon, and couldn't see us since they were closing, that we should go to the hospital. I completely understand having closing hours, but when you're a specialist, and you hear that a child has an injury directly related to your field, you would expect at minimum a brief look, a quick assessment, or even some reassurance. Instead, they didn't even step out to see my child or offer guidance. They simply didn't care. For a practice that presents itself as a medical office, refusing to even glance at a pediatric eye emergency is incredibly disappointing. It's like a lifeguard who's off duty--seeing someone struggling in the water--and choosing to walk away. Of course you can do it, but is it the right thing to do? Even if you can't perform a full evaluation, basic human and professional duty would tell you to at least check if the situation is dangerous. I would never spend my money here with doctors that could care less under an emergency. I would not recommend them to anyone either. Maybe in the future the can do better. We did go to the hospital, they rushed us in, and then we followed up with a caring clinic (ponte vedra eye associates) the next day with a specialist that didn't even see kids but still saw her (God bless her) as the pediatric specialist downtown only had availability in a few days.

I loved Dr. Spurling. I was sent to him by my insurance company when I moved to Florida 6 years…read moreago. It was so nice to have an old school doctor who cared about me and not just selling me the most expensive eyewear at insane high prices. He is a great man. An honest man. And a great eye doctor! He just retired and I have a feeling he was one in a million. Most eye care places these days only care about selling you eyewear, or trying to make your vision better than 20/20 which lead me to weird lenses and extreme headaches at other places I've been before meeting Dr. Spurling. His prescription for me was always perfect!!. I will miss Dr. Spurling!

I really enjoy going there because they take the time to accommodate you any way you need and when I had trouble with my contacts they really helped find the perfect ones for me. I also like Spurling because he explains and gives you a great understanding of why your vision is the way it is. I do admit his office is a little pricey, but it is well worth the extra dollars to get great service and care versus a run of the mill eye doctor that sees a hundred people a day.

For starters, Vue Optical describes itself as a boutique eyeglass shop with independent designer…read moreframes. That's a bait & switch. Few top designer lines, and those they list on their website - like SALT. - they have in barely a handful of styles. They also use some funky lab, and first filled my RX (from an ophthalmology office in town ranked on the "Top Doctor" annual list) - without my approval, I'm all about brands - with some no-name label that was awful. Vue said they couldn't offer Zeiss lenses, the very best. And then when we agreed to try Hoya (or was that Shamir?), it was done by the same lab! With the $1k "office" progressive eyeglasses I bought from them last year, I should be able to see clearly from 12 inches to about 20 feet. Make that 8 ft, barely. And I get headaches and sleepy trying to read closeup for more than 30 minutes. Plus, super frustrating on top of that, the AR anti-reflective coating is obviously of such cheap quality that it's almost impossible to get rid of the smudges - even with those special eyeglass cloth wipes or washing with dishwasher soap. The shop is pretty, and the 2 saleswomen are lovely. The woman who sold me the frames and lenses sent my eyeglasses back to the lab 2x to "fix" them. I accepted them finally because it was embarrassing, and despite her politeness and seeming patience, I felt like a nuisance and flake. I greatly regret not being more assertive and demanding a refund. I'm 67, and have worn progressive eyeglasses 30+ years. I've bought in my former towns - NYC, Philly, SF, LA. And I've never ever ever had a problem, much less this maddening experience. Ok, I've got to stop. I'm getting sleepy from typing close-up. I'm giving 2 stars for the pretty shop and nice saleswomen. And I don't like to totally slam a business. But I'm certainly not coming back here.

This time in 2020 was even longer since they had to dilate my eyes (didn't tell me in advance). They don't accept vision insurance so I had to pay for the whole visit (I have high deductible medical insurance). I did have a medical issue so that was ok, just fyi. The dilation cost an extra $50 (which I was not told at the time). I actually didn't want it, but the aide said the doctor wouldn't see me if I didn't. I had to go back to work and didn't want blurry vision. It's not that they used the high-tech machine which I know costs more. The cost was $185 in all. As a patient it's hard breathe when you have a mask on and your face pushed into the machine. The front desk worker at the window didn't have a mask on, but patient were required to wear one. I think she later put one on when I came back to the window. The Dr is very nice and I think she's a good doctor but not worth waiting that long There were three office workers and you'd think they'd plan longer appointment times for patients, since she takes so long. I'll find a new ophthalmologist next time.
