The surgeon is just delightful and I am still healing/getting used to my eyes (only been 1 week since the second eye) but I can tell already that this was a great decision for me. I'm only 62, but I had the beginning of cataracts (I am told this is very common at my age) and my vision was getting worse. I was so sick and tired of readers on-and-off, and it was a nuisance for teaching--had to perch glasses on the end of my nose. No more--I can read my lessons and talk to the students without any correction now. Upgraded lenses are expensive, but insurance paid for half of the total due to the cataracts, which are covered--I just had to pay for the special lens. My lesson learned to pass on is to get the second eye done as soon as comfortable. I think I had a harder time adjusting to and recovering from the first one because the upgraded lens are meant to work with each other. Once I had the second one done, the first felt instantly better. The second eye recovery was so much quicker! They tell me each eye is individual in how it recovers. OK--so why not 5 stars? I had to dock them one for the often frustrating lack of cohesion between the BHam clinic and the Mt. Vernon surgery center. I LOVE the way Mt. Vernon runs, and the staff are so nice and friendly. Not the same vibe in BHam. They are nice, but not as customer-service oriented. Just getting through to a human on the phone is a challenge, and you might get different versions/opinions from different doctors and staff in BHam. They all seem a little green. The call center doesn't always have accurate information. My only note about Mt. Vernon is that the discharge person is a bit abrupt and physically rough--which is a bit disconcerting when you are still a bit disorientated and feeling vulnerable right after surgery. (Both times so I know he wasn't just having a bad day).) It would be nice to have some of the more compassionate care you get before surgery. A last impression is just as important as a first one.

When we showed up for our appointment, they informed us that there had been an issue with the insurance (authorization blocked for some reason) and, when they made an attempt to call and inform us that we needed to call our insurance, my husband didn't recognize the number and didn't pick up, They cancelled our appointment. My husband took off work to drive me, and I am recovering from an illness. They didn't offer to squeeze us in but told us to leave, call our insurance, and then reschedule. I got angry and gave them very direct feedback. They called my husband later and told us we are not welcome to return. I am writing this review so that people making appointments with this optometrist understand the risks: They do not communicate by text or email, and, if you don't pick up when they call, your appointment may be cancelled without care or consideration on their part for the impact on the client.

I called And they said the first appointment they had was a week and a half out and they could put me on the waiting list. I said okay and in one hour someone had canceled a appointment for later in the day and I was able to squeeze in. I am not local to this area and was very happy that they were able to take me and my insurance. When I arrived the receptionists were all very welcoming and as I waited I noticed how clean and home like it was compared to other places I have been seen. I was called back for my exam and the lady who did my 1st exam was kind and patient with my inability to keep my eye open during the air pressure test. I went in for the second part of the exam and was immediately comfortable with Dr. Eberhardt, he was very knowledgeable and explained to me my slight astigmatism and as we talked I asked about food to eat for eyes and what type of diet I should keep to for longevity in my eyesight (eye issues and blindness due to diet are common in my family) he gave me very good medical advice and before I knew it the exam was over. The glasses I was selecting from (economic package deal) were very nice and I had many options to choose from which usually is not the case in other offices I had been to in the past. If you are looking for a great prescription, welcoming staff, and a knowledgeable optometrist. I would highly recommend his office.

I had mentioned to the examining optometrist I would be filling my glass prescriptions at Costco, as frames and prices were too expensive for me. His response was they would be sub par quality.

Scheduling my pre-OP appointment/evaluation was easy. After seeing my regular eye doctor they referred me to PCLI. I received a call from the scheduling company within a day or two. She worked around my schedule and I got an appointment on the calender. A week before my evaluation, I received a message that they needed to reschedule and they gave me a time that didn't work with my kids drop-off schedule for camp. I left a few messages and an email to say I couldn't make the time they rescheduled me for. I finally got a call back ther morning of my appointment. That was frustrating but we got things figured out. My evaluation was fast. I waited 2 minutes before being taken back. The doctor stayed as long as I had questions and I never felt rushed. After that they let me consider and think about the risks and told me to just give the scheduler a call when I was ready if I wanted to move forward. Never any assumptions that I would but left it in my hands to make the best choice for me. I really appreciated that. They never held back or diminished the possible risks flit such a surgery. Scheduling my lasik appointment was again really simple. I called the lady I worked with before. A week before my surgery the scheduler called to tell me a few things to do or not do that week in preparation. She also answers my last few questions and really put my anxiety at ease. I really appreciated her. The morning of the surgery I had my husband drop me off before taking children to school which meant I was there 20 minutes early. No big deal. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place and the company of the ladies at the front. At 8:30 they took me back to the prep area. They had a locked locker for me to store my belongings of which they gave me a key so only I could access it. They were so very nice. They even gave me a gift for choosing them (a fleece vest). My husband was allowed to come back with me and watch the procedure. Before the procedure the doctor came to introduce himself and to answer any concerns. Wow! Impressive and shows great patient care. Once I'd been numbed to a degree they took me back to a sterile surgery room. Before they started the doctor asked if he could pray ( he would have skipped this if had asked). I said of course but I also wanted to pray for them. It was a very special moment and the feeling in the room was one of sweetness. The doctor told me everything that was happening as it was happening. I knew what to expect. It was a fast procedure. All in all from being brought to the prep area to walking out the door I was there an hour. It never felt rushed either and I never had pain or discomfort. I highly recommend this facility. Professional, speedy, thorough, customer oriented, beautiful facility. Can't go wrong.
