I have been a patient of Dr. Treece for almost 2 1/2 years now…read more I first visited Dr. Treece at the suggestion of a friend in my neighborhood who used to work with her until her retirement. I think if you ask her, Dr. Treece might tell you that my case was one of the most difficult she has ever been involved with. I had been suffering with terrible vision that was barely sufficient for a driver's license, even with eye glasses, for over 20 years after having multiple PRK and LASIK procedures that ruined my vision rather than correct it. Those procedures left my corneas in such bad shape that glasses and conventional contact lenses could not provide adequate vision. The poor vision caused difficulties in driving, watching TV and movies, and enjoying life in general. I had long ago given up hope of ever being able to see well again. Dr. Treece recommended and prescribed scleral contacts lenses for me . The successful outcome of these types of lenses depends on a precise fit, and as she will tell you up front they may require several fittings for them to provide the optimal performance. That was the the way it was in my case. And I'm glad that she is determined to get her patients the best vision possible. When I say that Dr. Treece has made a dramatic improvement in my quality of life I'm not exaggerating. If you or anyone you know has been suffering with sub-par vision after vision correction surgery, or for any other reason for that matter, and have been told there is little that can be done about it I suggest you schedule an appointment with Dr. Treece at Cape Fear Eye Institute. I am very thankful for the eye care I have received from Dr. Treece and for my neighbor who presented my situation to her for her opinion.

I feel validated reading the other comments here. Love the doctors here, but the woman at the…read morefront desk is rude and too easily flustered. They have also failed to bill my insurance twice now. I go for an exam and later I come in to pick up my contact lenses only to be told that I owe them a substantial amount of money. Now I've been a client/patient at this practice for several years, so they have my information on file. Even if they did not, they should have asked for my insurance information rather than simply demanding payment as if I was uninsured. And they have done this twice.

From the front office staff to the assistant and Dr, everyone was friendly. They listened to my concerns about my eyes. The new contact brand the Dr recommended feels fantastic on my eyeballs better than any other brand I have tried. Even with the extra drive, I will keep them as my vision location.

Atlantic Eye Associates has excellent customer service and Dr. Flora was very personable during my…read morevisits. When I came for my eye exam Dr. Flora and his staff were thorough and upfront. After testing my vision he didn't recommend me for glasses "just to get a sale." He told me that my eyes were fine but if I'd like a clearer vision, ordering glasses are optional. I appreciate his honesty vs insisting that new glasses were a priority. I also brought my 4 year old son to have a routine eye exam and the staff members were extremely patient and kind. It's always nice knowing that you're valued as a patient/ customer and I will definitely be recommending their office to my friends and family.

Dr. Craig is amazing! I always look forward to seeing him, and especially my recent follow‑up visit…read moreto thank him for saving my life. He was persistent over the past year in searching for the cause of my worsening left‑eye vision. He referred me to three eye specialists--a cataract specialist, a retina specialist, and finally a cornea specialist, who ordered a brain MRI. The MRI revealed a tumor pressing on my optic chiasm, which was responsible for my vision problems. I had the tumor removed a couple of months ago, and because Dr. Craig cares deeply about his patients and pursued every lead, I would never have discovered the brain tumor otherwise. I am still healing, but thanks to Dr. Craig, he will always be my hero!

No pressure to purchase lenses/frames through them but more than willing to show what they had on hand and explain options. Dr. Kelly Catino was both very professional and very cordial.

I just moved to Wilmington in early July, so I hadn't established here yet. I filled out the form online and they called me within an hour to make an appointment. The scheduler was SO nice and accommodating, and she was able to get me into the Scott's Hill location the next morning. When I arrived, I was greeted by the receptionist who was very helpful. When taken back (barely had to wait 5 minutes), the staff was very friendly (and I'm a sensitive eye girlie). I saw Dr. Chad Tisdale, and he was very patient and settled my anxiety. I definitely plan to establish with this group for my annual appointments.
