She is so nice, gentle, and reassuring. She talks you through everything she's doing and really takes the time that you need as her patient. Dr. McIntyre isn't the only great thing about Accent on Eyes. Her staff is also super nice. I had to go back a few times - exam, pick up glasses, pick up sunglasses, and then I had a mystery "issue" with my sunglasses. I felt like they were "off." Like my depth perception was off and they gave me headaches and threw off my balance. It was weird. The ophthalmologist didn't see anything "wrong" with my sunglasses, but he ordered new lenses for them anyway. They never once said anything like "give it some time and you'll get used to it." They really listened to everything I said, and never made me feel stupid or annoying. Once the lenses were replaced, the sunglasses were great! I was completely impressed with everything. Even though my experience wasn't "perfect," the people at Accent on Eyes made the experience as good as it could possibly be. They were so nice and patient the whole time. They made sure I walked away completely satisfied and able to see! :-)

First of all, Dr. McIntyre is congenial and obviously experienced. She has tons of eye-examining…read moreequipment, which she should probably sell off some to streamline her operation, as the patient has to move from room to room throughout the exam. But I'm not an eye doctor, so perhaps they need all that stuff. It just seemed like there was too much and that it would serve the Dr and her clients to reduce and consolidate. Things also seemed a bit disorganized and the Dr a little scattered. And though I can relate, being a middle-aged woman myself, it didn't engender confidence. Perhaps this is a new location and they hadn't yet fully settled. In the end, I let myself be talked out of a pair of glasses that I still (weeks later) feel would have looked better on me. The pair the Dr and her receptionist (optician was out due to injury) talked me into are not my style. I suspect they thought my choice was too "hipster". Two main issues remain. 1. The cost: Even though we've had VSP insurance with various employers for years, this is the first time I used it and went with a VSP provider. These glasses without the insurance, Dr. McIntyre told me, would have been over $800! That's double my cost at non-VSP providers, which makes me think this, and perhaps other providers, pad the cost because there's insurance. After insurance, it was the same as I pay without. 2. The prescription: With these new specs my vision is not sharp; I feel like I'm always squinting to see clearly, which encourages wrinkles I was hoping to ease with a new Rx. There's just a general dullness or blurriness to my world that I didn't expect with new glasses. Usually, a new pair of glasses makes everything super sharp, but not with these. Dr. McIntyre said my vision had improved after comparing my old (a pair that was 2 Rx's ago). That should have set off some bells, I guess; my vision has NEVER improved -- nothing on the human body does. If I could afford it, I'd go back to Lenscrafters to see if they could "clear" things up for me. Summary: At Accent on Eyes, using VSP insurance I got insufficient vision correction & frames I don't like for around $400. (Without insurance last year, I got frames I like & clear vision for around $400.) Sorry, Dr. McIntyre.

I've been seeing Kimberly Michel, O.D., since 2019 and have had nothing but positive experiences…read more Her office is located inside the Vista Costco, which can be a little hectic at times, and the office itself is pretty small, but it's absolutely worth it. Dr. Michel is fantastic. She has a great personality, is very knowledgeable, and always takes the time to answer questions and explain things clearly. She's easy to talk to and makes eye exams feel much less stressful. The front office staff is also always kind, pleasant, and easy to work with. I especially appreciate how easy it is to make appointments by phone or text. I go every year for my eye exam and prescription update, and the process is always smooth and efficient. I'll definitely keep coming back and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an optometrist.

When it came time for cataract surgery, I was told…read moreby his office of a new lens called Odyssey IOL , by Johnson& Johnson Tecnis, whereby I wouldn't need glasses for close or far. This has been a nightmare. After the doctor put them in, it affected my night vision whereby i cannot drive at night and affected my contrast close up, whereby I could not do my hobbies or work on projects around the house.. According to literature, the doctor was supposed to do regular checkups during the neuro adaptation period for Monitoring the Tear Film and Ocular Surface, Checking for Posterior Capsule Opacity (PCO), Tracking Refractive Stability, measuring tear stability . He did not. He just said see you next year. I kept waiting for the neuroadaptation to clear up my sight. A lot of stress could have been avoided. It was only after I sought a second opinion after 10 months that I found out about PCO, which makes the lens cloudy. Doctor Foster didn't warn me of this possibility, he just said keep putting in eye drops for your dry eye while neuroadaptation happens . I just had a YAG laser procedure for PCO done and it did not clear up my ability for night driving. Dr. Foster or his office did not warn me about PCO, how my dry eye was going to affect the outcome, did not inform me of many things that caused me high stress and anxiety. My opinion, he is a very callous man with no regard for the comfort of his patients. The anxiety he caused me was a result of this nature. He could have done the advised checkups. Don't listen to his staff in regard to Odyssey IOL unless you do a lot of research. I allowed it to happen to me because of trust. Thought I could trust Davies Eye Group. I was wrong. I don't know if I will ever be able to drive at night at this point, comfortably. I may need special glasses for this. The hook of not needing glasses ever again as a sales pitch..HA! As for my contrast issues, the verdict is not in. I may need glasses for close up, who knows. I won't be getting glasses with Davies eye group. BEWARE THE SALES PITCH for Odyssey IOL!
