When my last optometrist dropped the insurance I carry, I was not looking forward to having to try…read moreto establish care somewhere else but this place made it seamless and easy. They take more insurance plans than most places in this area and their provide exceptional care It took a few weeks to get in but the exam and fittings are a well-oiled machine with the doctor doing all the testing and exam instead of a tech which was nice. Dr. Sykes is very personable and attentive. He was able to find the right type of contact lens for reading and distance so I don't have to wear my wear my readers on the top of my head anymore. My husband goes here as well and they were very patient with teaching him how to use contact lenses. I like that it's smaller and patient-focused-not like the huge doc in a box places. I'd definitely recommend if you're looking for a place for all your eye care needs.

I had an older pair of eyeglasses that needed a new stem. Due to pandemic restrictions, I was asked…read moreto leave them in the dropbox right outside the door. Within an hour I received a call that the repair was complete and the glasses were ready to be picked up. Not only was the repair prompt (and a lifesaver), it was free of charge. Based on this experience with Chapel Hill Eyecare, I would say that they are an excellent member of the local business community and I will definitely consider them for any future vision care needs.

He is the very best!! I had been to two optometrists prior to seeing Dr. Costabile. I was given…read moreprescriptions for glasses which I had made, but they were not correct based on the examinations. I was referred to Dr. Costabile, and could not be happier with the experience. He spent a lot of time with me, and way beyond what either of the two prior optometrists had. He sincerely wanted to make sure that he prescribed the correct lens. I would never go anywhere else, and I can not recommend him highly enough.

For the most part, the Eye Care Center is indistinguishable from a LensCrafters or something like…read morethat once you're inside it. All of the furnishings and products are the same, and even the layout of optometrists places must be regulated by that same dark guild. The service is really what shines here. I dealt with three separate people just in the process of trying to get information about eye exams and contact lenses, and every one was extremely helpful, speedy, and friendly. It's a welcome breath of fresh air after the terror that some eye doctors can wreak on you. They didn't even attempt to hide any of the normally-hidden fees that these places normally go with. All in all, I was very impressed.

Dr. Kroninger is no longer running Academy Eye in Chapel Hill. As someone who has been seeing him…read morefor over 30 years, I am happy he has been able to retire. Unfortunately, you will not always receive the same service. Dr. Canterbury is nice, although reception is hit and miss. There is a young man who is very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a lady on reception who is not. I could not make an appointment for her letting me know I was a liability to the office for asking to purchase one contact until my next (hopefully very soon appointment). I understand that it is extremely hard to find employees, but customer support definitely lacking. I just wanted one contact to get me through at work until the next visit I was trying to schedule. Unfortunately, I will be moving elsewhere and possibly encouraging the rest of my family to do so as well. If you could not give me a contact, at least let me know you could give me an appointment..
