The staff was so friendly from the moment I walked in and I loved the vibe - the glasses are displayed so beautifully and I love the antique furniture and numerous plants throughout the space. It seems like they have so many frame options from brands I've never seen before and at reasonable prices. They have parking around back but I found street parking less than a block away. My eye exam was quick but thorough. Whether you need glasses/contacts/or an exam, I recommend Carytown Optical!

I've loved being a patient at Grove Eye Care. You know how everyone has a doctor visit they're kind…read moreof afraid of? Eye doctors used to be that for me, but after my experience with Grove Eye Care, I feel much more confident and relaxed. I had my first visit back in 2023. I was looking to start wearing contacts and to get a new glasses prescription. Booking an appointment was easy. My first visit is a bit of a blur since it's been over a year, but I did have main takeaways. Whoever it was that guided me in how to put on contacts was the kindest and most encouraging person I've met. In my experience, a lot of eye doctor visits have involved inpatient people (I can understand because I would feel inpatient hearing the same six letters over and over again). I did not feel this way with my contact teacher. She was there to support me and made me feel welcome. I highly recommend getting contacts here. The contact experience involves getting the right prescription for you with a doctor, learning how to put them on, getting trials for a week, then returning to see if you'd like to order them. I have VSP which helped with the cost and have enjoyed the Bausch and Lomb Infuse 1-Day contacts. As for eye exams themselves, on an annual check-up this week, I did have a more impatient examiner, who didn't really explain all the machines to me which I didn't mind as much because I felt more confident, but had wished she told me when bright lights were flashing. They have a machine you can pay extra for so you don't need to get your eyes dilated which is nice. My first examiner in 2023 did explain everything. I think you just need to ask. My doctor is Dr. Schwartz. She helped me with my contact journey as well as treating headaches and dry eyes. She's very direct and to the point and can answer any questions you may have. I've enjoyed having her as my doctor. During my visit this week, I explored possibly purchasing new glasses/lenses at the shop section. It was a bit out of my price range, but do know you can get your prescription for free and if you need the distance of your eyes it's a $10 charge. If you're feeling uneasy about eye doctors, this is a great place to feel more confident and comfortable with them. The parking is easy here with a lot out front. It's near Carytown. And there is a gender neutral single stall for bathrooms. I highly recommend.

Riverfront Optical is super convenient for eyeglasses if you work in or near Riverfront Plaza. The…read morefolks running the shop are very sweet and helpful, and the guy who helped me pick out frames and measure my eyes let me try on a whole bunch before I decided on a pair. The glasses were ready a week later. Only thing I'd do differently is go in network the next time. They weren't part of my eye insurance plan, and my provider only partially reimbursed me for the purchase when I could've gotten the glasses for free elsewhere. I'd say visit this location if you're looking for quality and personal care -- and you're nearby. It's not the most cost-effective option for me, so I probably won't be back -- but it's a nice place nonetheless. It's located on the ground floor of the West Tower, to the left past the BB&T branch and behind the parking garage elevators.

I have used MyEyeDr for several years. My last visit in Jan. 2025 in the Ricmond, VA. Office…read more The dr was excellent. She looked at glasses I currently wore and confirmed that I wanted bifocals again. When I went to pick frames the one I chose the employee stated with my new RX it woukd make lenses very thick and heavy so i chose another pair. When i recieved my glasses they were had only rx for nearsightedness with no bifocal. I inquired and was told thats what i requested. I spoke to office personal on 2 occasions with no help. The RX clearly states Multi-focal. Why woukd i change up my choice knowing i needed bifocals. I am now stuck with a pair of glasses that are worthless to me. Insurance paid $413.00 for them to sit in drawer usless. I believe when the employee assisted me getting a more suitable pair she got sidetracked. I will never return to MyEyeDr as i feel that should have redone them as RX stated multi-focal and was confirmed with Dr. Very disappointed waste time, money and gas getting glasses i cannot use. I would have continued to be a customer but because of this i will seek my eye care elsewhere.

THCA is a natural cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants that turns into THC when it's heated.
