I really enjoy this place! All the techs are so great, helpful and personable. Dr. Dozon always seems to remember me, and I trust he cares for my eye health. When I was contemplating Lasik, he answered all my questions, even about lasik providers he hadn't initially recommended. They also have a good selection of glasses and they're helpful in determining how to max your vision benefits. I've recommended this place to many friends who also live in the area! read more

After trying three other optometrists, I began visiting Aksarben Eye Care about ten years ago. I've been recommending them to my friends and co-workers ever since. There's just one optometrist here: Dr. Dozon. I've found Dr. Dozon to be extraordinarily good at listening, good at explaining what I don't understand, and competent and thorough in his exams. He's always contributing his services to the community, so by supporting his business, I feel like I'm also supporting a good cause. Despite the relatively small size, the office stays up-to-date with equipment and best practices. The vibe here is far different from most optometrists. The office is comfortable, unhurried, and personal. I always get the sense of being served, not "processed." The office has soft lighting and soft, comfortable furniture. The biggest downside is when selecting frames. The selection of frames is pretty good, but they are generally reluctant to special order if what you want isn't in stock. To achieve the best vision, it is vitally important that frames fit perfectly; unfortunately, the staff always encourage me to look at style first, and they're often unable to answer specific questions about sizing and fitting. To be honest, you shouldn't shop for glasses here unless you already know your bridge width, temple length, and lens width. If you do visit, be sure to ask for directions the first time. You have to go around back of the building then up to the second floor. read more

This was my first appointment. I was impressed from start to finish. Everyone is very nice and patient - explaining anything I had questions about. Dr. Dozon is wonderful. He is professional, listens, and thoroughly went through the pictures of my eyes. I highly recommend this business. read more

Dr. Dozon is fantastic! My daughter and I have been seeing him for several years after relocating to the Omaha area. He's very nice, informative and down to earth. I highly recommend his office! read more

I cannot rave enough about Dr. Dozon AND his staff. Dr. Dozon is not only extremely knowledgeable, he's kind and caring which is a A+++ in my book. Whenever I am in his office I'm not just another patient, I am a person. Hours: I am an extremely busy person with a 40+ career and I am sure you are too. Aksarben Eye Care has flexible hours. I am able to pop over after work and do what I need to do WITHOUT a wait. The moment you walk into the office you're greeted warmly by his wonderful staff. Staff: I don't think nurses ever get enough credit. The staff at Aksarben are friendly and I never feel stupid asking them questions. They are so happy to help and work with you and it never feels awkward working with them! Tech: As the Black Eyed Peas once so valiantly put it "I'm so 3008. You so 2000 and late" this place fits that description. Having your eye's dilated is soooooo 2008. The Optomap takes a picture of your retina and in 3 seconds. This is an amazing option because A. You don't have to find a ride B. You can check out the pictures (if you ask nicely) Doc: This doctor is straight up cool and the dude know his ish. He has a great method of figuring out what is BEST for your eyes. I like to compare his prescriptions to "having your eyes kick back and relax on a lazy boy after a long day of hard work." When I first saw him I wanted to start wearing contacts. This doctor is so so awesome that he sat with me for 15+ minutes and taught me how to put contacts in. What doctor do you know that actually cares enough to go out of their way to sit with a patient and patiently (no pun intended) teach them something that any other doctor would've been like "Just google it." All in all if you want a great Dr. and great staff to take care of your vision just do yourself a favor and go here! read more

I love this office! The front staff was so friendly and helpful. She spent so much time helping me find glasses that actually looked good on my face and didn't just send me out with the most expensive ones. The dr was also really awesome! He got my prescription exactly right! When I told him I wanted to try out colored contacts he brought me samples to try to make sure I got the color I was looking for. Then walked me through the process of putting them in. Once I had one on he told me "honestly your eyes are the same color, I wouldn't pay extra for the colored ones." That is so honest! So you know you are dealing with good people here. I went ahead and just got glasses and I received them in about 2 weeks or less. If you are looking for an eye doctor you should really come here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Exceptional service, very thorough examination and Dr Dozen is a gem. They have a machine that takes images quickly and painlessly in lieu of dilation! You'll also be treated like a celebrity and have basically no wait time. read more

My glasses were 6 years old and Dr. Dozan was listed in my Medicare insurance. This was probably the very best eye exam I have ever had and the entire staff was absolutely wonderful. I bought my glasses on-line for the first time and they gave me all the information I needed to order on-line. I was worried I would not be able to see when the new glasses arrived but they were perfect. I then went back to Aksarben Eye Care to have the temples adjusted as you would need for any new glasses and she adjusted them perfectly and for free, smiles and complete professionals all the way around. I will be back in the future and thank you Dr. Dozan and your staff for the best experience. I almost never do surveys but you all hit it out of the park. read more

Dr. Dozon is an outstanding eye doctor. I am extremely picky about healthcare providers and he fits the bill. Very knowledgeable, kind, caring and willing to go above and beyond. We came to see him even when we lived 14 hours away for a time. read more

I generally dislike eye care places, between hardcore and often pushy upselling to screwing up insurance information. I'm glad I found an exception. Not only was everything about getting glasses here a smooth transition, but everybody here was very friendly and patient. About a year after getting some prescription Ray-Bans, a frame screw sort of just disappeared somehow. I brought them in, thinking I'd have to buy some sort of replacement part and/or service, but she simply ordered a new screw, called me when it arrived, slapped everything together, and I was in and out in about 3 minutes. I'll definitely be getting my next frames and lenses from here. read more

This honestly was the single worst experience I have every had at a doctor's office. I arrived and struggled a little to get in - when I had scheduled the appointment - I got the general idea of where it was in a little strip mall off of Center street - never in this conversation did the staff member mention that I should park in the back as I would need to enter that way. Not a big deal, but I am sure the business out front is annoyed with having to tell people how to get to the second floor. The staff was very kind and welcoming when I got there and moved to get me started right away. However the woman who was doing the initial part of the exam started to explain the first machine and I had to asked if this is the machine that has an additional $29 charge that insurance does not cover? She confirmed that insurance does not cover it and I pointed out that on the initial paperwork I had completed, I said that I was opting out of this option. She quickly moved me over to the other machine. No apology or ownership of the near error that I am sure they would have made me pay for. Then I was moved to meet with the doctor. This was a horrible experience he was argumentative and rude. Challenging everything I said from the fact that my lasik's wasn't working anymore and I was needing glasses. I commented that until I learned I needed glasses last year, I had not known that lasik was only good for 7-8 years before needing glasses. He commented 'that's not true, its' forever, what did you do?' He talked about how I probably just needed readers - I was wearing glasses by the way which they had taken and obtained the prescription from those glasses that I purchased the previous year. I explained that prior to the lasik I had been told that I was legally blind by a doctor when I was 20 and I went from being legally blind (correctbable with glasses) to having 20/15 vision in both eyes, but I had paid for the version that I would not require reading glasses so they did one eye for a second laser surgery to fix that. He told me to stop saying I was legally blind. He asked if I could read the big E without my glasses on and said that was the requirement to be identified as legally blind. I commented that it was an ophthalmologist who had told me that when I was 20. He argued that my eyes probably didn't get any worse and I explained that up until my surgery they continued to get worse over the years. He asked if the second surgery had worked so i didn't require reading glasses and I said it had. He asked if I currently used reading glasses and I said that I did only when the print was extremely small. He said, so it worked, what do you want bifocals for. I explained I can't read my phone or anything in my hands without lifting my glasses and I was tired of doing that. His questions were very attacking. I have not ever felt so frustrated and disrespected by a health care worker in my life. By the time I left it felt like a type of assault. I asked him if he was always this aggressive and challenging with his customers and told him that I was feeling very frustrated. No comment from him or apology. He did become a little less challenging, put the eye drops in and told me that it would be about 30 minutes before he could look at my eyes. There was honestly several other things he argued and challenged - it's just too much to keep going on about what a bad visit this was. While waiting they asked if wanted to look at glasses and I said I did not - I wanted out of this place so bad. I paid my co-pay and then he called me back in after about 10 minutes and started commenting on my cataracts as if this is something I was aware of. I told him that I had never been told that I have them and he was very matter of fact and didn't even acknowledge that I was caught off guard. My last eye check up was a little over a year ago - and they said no cataracts at that time. He even made a comment about the ones in my left eye that he was seeing tending to be a little aggressive and potentially needing care in the next 6 months. Then he walked me out. I will never work with this office again and luckily my insurance allows a check up a year, so I can find a different doctor to look at my eyes and give me a better understanding of what is going on. read more

Dr. Dozan and everyone here is so kind! They take time to answer your questions and make you feel comfortable and to get your prescription just right. They are very clear about pricing and insurance and the office feels nice and airy. And to top it all off, they have a machine that serves the function of dilating your eyes without having to dilate your eyes! In the past, the dilating has meant I needed someone to drive me to my eye appt, and this removes that hurdle for me. Love this place. Already made my appt for next year. read more

This is a small operation with helpful, polite staff. Dr. Dozon is so great, very personable, remembers conversations you had months...or even a year ago! Last year when I got my glasses, the staff was really nice and searched for some glasses I had found online to see if they could order them in. I have a problem with dry eyes from a chronic illness, and Dr. Dozon is really patient with the many questions I have about it! He also doesn't do more than necessary at each visit and works with your insurance coverage. I also never wait long and from what I can remember last year, I didn't have to wait long for my glasses to be ready for pick up. I would recommend this business to anyone needing eye care! read more

This is my new favorite place to get glasses and contacts! I was unable to wear contacts for about 3 years till Dr. Dozon helped me find the perfect contact lenses that fit! He was very patient, helpful and tried all options. Also, the staff here are so friendly and helpful! They helped me find the perfect pair of glasses last year. I get asked all the time where I got my glasses from and always recommend this place! By far the best place in Omaha! Thanks Aksarben Eye Care read more

I don't usually review healthcare services but felt compelled after such an excellent visit with Aksarben Eye Care. I've been to an eye doctor yearly for about 20 years and never has an optometrist taken the time to explain the tests and results with me like Dr. Dozen did. He is obviously very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner and rapport. Definitely impressed. read more

The optometrist here is great. Great staff. Felt like I left with an accurate prescription and great recommendations.

I have worn glasses all my life. I searched reviews for a good eye care professional. I came across Aksarben Eye Care and thought I would give it a try. I had a great eye exam with Dr. Dozon and picked out my frames. Ten days later, I go in and pick up my glasses. I wore them the next day and thought there was something wrong with my eyes. I edges were all blurry and when I drove my car, I could not see signs or anything in peripheral vision clearly. I tried these glasses for about 4 days and had to take them back. It seemed that their was only a small window that I could see out of clearly. Here's where things go bad. I got another pair, with smaller lenses. The assistant said the lenses that I picked out were too big on the first pair, and the outer portion would be blurry. I don't know where they have their lenses made, but they need to rethink that option. The second pair was no different and this was a smaller lens. Bottom line: I was 'over it'. I left both pairs of glasses at Dr. Dozon's office and I wanted my money refunded. That request did not happen. They refunded my insurance company but kept $250 of my portion for a restocking fee. I had to pay $250 for glasses that were worthless to me. I know that I will not be returning to this office, but not because of the Dr. or staff, but because of the poor quality of their products. read more

Both my husband and I see Dr Dozon. I received the best treatment and learned more about my eyes in one visit than I ever had before. I had went to a one of those eye clinics at Mall for 14 years and my one visit with Dr Dozon was the best I have ever experienced. It's like I had been riding in a Dodge Dart for 14 years and I am in Cadillac!! He Great!! read more

Terrible service . Made me feel bad for having had vision basically , I was in tears after the last visit, and didn't receive any empathy. I would never go here again, worst patient experience. read more

This was the worst and quickest eye exam of my life! The staff were very nice and friendly. Dr. Dozon was in a bad mood and rude from the time he entered the room. He flew through my eye exam. My hubby and I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I ended up going somewhere else to buy eyeglasses. We are pretty sure that Dr. Dozon messed up my eye exam or the wrong information was given to the place where I purchased my eyeglasses. I can't see at all out of the right lense of the eyeglasses. There is a total disconnect between the two lenses and everything with the right lense is completely blurry. The place where I purchased the eyeglasses is trying to work with me to get things corrected with the eyeglasses. The eyeglasses are still there because things with the right lense are so bad. I've worn eyeglasses for most of my life and I've never had anything like this happen before. Sitting through the terrible eye exam was bad enough. Not being able to wear the new eyeglasses I purchased is worse. I don't recommend Dr. Dozon at all! read more

Aksarben Eye Care, terrific eye facility, caring staff & very knowledgable with all eye products.

I've been avoiding finding an eye doctor in Omaha for years, but finally was forced to make a choice when I ran out of contacts last week. AEC is wonderful - Deb will work with you to figure out all that awful insurance information, and will help you make the most affordable choice. Dr. Dozon is a Creighton grad and explains every test, shows you what he is looking for etc. He will also make sure you're not spending unnecessary money. He's so friendly and makes you feel comfortable. read more

Top notch service! The staff at Aksarben Eye Care really make you feel at home. They are very friendly and personable. I had not been to the eye doctor in years prior to my visit. They made me feel very comfortable. I was immediately recognized when I went to pick up my glasses, and when I went in for a repair on my glasses I was greeted by my first name. That is how it should be and I will definitely continue to use Aksarben Eye Care for my eye care needs!!! read more

Be very careful with them! They make you to do exams not requested. I requested atropine and they instead made me to do a newer more expensive exam for the retina saying I didn't need to pay for it. Then they did the regular exam for the glasses prescription, only glasses, and it was the same than the previous one. Based on that they have also established my contact lenses prescription. They hold it and ordered trials contacts without showing me nothing. Based on my insurance I was supposed to pay only 10 dollars for the eye exam and instead they said the total was 65 for the contacts (the trials are free, so for what?). When the trials arrived I realized they were exactly the same power and brand of the contacts I am already using, so basically there was no need to order trials or trying them, because they are the same contacts I am wearing every day! So when I asked what I paid the 65 dollars for, they said it was for the contacts fit exam, but I haven't done any fit exam yet!! Plus they said they would have ordered 2 pairs of trials and instead they gave me only one! Basically I paid for something I didn't need because their prescription is identical to my old one! And when I asked to have my prescription they said they could give me the refund but without giving me the contacts prescription!! read more

My first visit with these guys. The Dr. was so great in explaining things to me. You don't find people this nice and passionate in health care anymore. I am recommending them to my friends and co-workers, and anyone reading this. read more
