Well maintained and trendy office, plus they have snacks! LOL. Very happy with this visit and will return for future appointments. P.S. it's customer appreciation week or month.

I've been going to Dr.Fontana for a few years when he originally had a office in Target in Apple…read moreValley once that office closed down I decided to try a few other Dr.'s and discovered how GREAT he was and how much i missed my eye doctor. So of course I had to come back even if it meant a further drive to have my peepers checked out. He is patient, listens and has answers to any of the questions I may have. My most recent visit I paid $ so my eyes wouldn't be dilated instead they offer a photo system where they can see the inside of your eyes! Pretty cool and he also breaks it down on how it works for you. 5stars well deserved!

When I noticed the damage the employee said oh I thought it was a smudge. It's way more than a smudge, it's horrible damage to my frames. I thought it was weird that they made me sign a waiver so now I'm out over $750 without even a sorry. No type of apology whatsoever. I paid a copay also for the lenses in these frames but since I'm unable to wear them, the lenses are worthless. I have to start over but now I've used my benefits for the year. I wish I wouldn't have went here in the first place. I had a bad feeling when I first sat down they seemed unorganized. I should have walked out but I wanted to support a small local business my mistake.

I needed a new eye doctor as moved into south metro. I heard great things about the Eagan Eye…read moreClinic so I booked myself and my twin sons an appointment there. upon entering I knew that I made a great choice as everyone was very friendly and accommodating. It was a nice looking place and very comfortable. They onboarded the 3 of very efficiently and got us all in and out very effectively. The testing room employee was very knowledge and the process was seamless. When I enter one of their exam rooms, the eye doctor was there in just a few minutes and she was very knowledgeable and worked with me to determine my needs in a becoming way. My 2 sons had the same exact experience. I knew it was time for new glasses for me and I found what I liked and their optician was very knowledge and low key on my options. In fact, the entire experience as extremally chill with no pressure for us to act on anything. Much different that past experiences with many eye doctor offices and optician shops. Our 1st experience at Eagan Eye Clinic was prenominal. I am recommending them to anyone that mentions that they need an eye doctor to me.

The facility itself is beautiful, welcoming, and clean. Everyone I spoke to greeted me with a smile. The technician (I'm sorry I forgot her name!) was friendly and explained the tests she was performing so I understood the process. Dr. Endres was so professional and personable. I was educated about every step of my exam and even got to see images of my retina! I didn't feel rushed at all and he really took the time to explain his findings and to answer all my questions. Kimberly helped me pick out my frames and suggested enhancements to prevent breakage (which is a necessity with a 9 month old!). All in all a 10/10 experience, I highly recommend Crystal Vision Clinic!

Overall their flow of getting you on and out felt seamless. The staff swiftly moved me through all of the steps to check my eyes. I did have to wait for my eyes to dilate, so they had me look at frames to save time instead of sitting in a room waiting. I've always been impressed with how personable all of their staff is, and how much they really want you to be happy in your frames. I picked my frames up 2 weeks later, a week ahead of promised timeframe. Overall if you're looking for an eye clinic in the area, it's an amazing option to choose.

Dr. Wesley was great. Superb skill & equipment. Staff are pleasant. However, don't buy frames here…read more A lack of information and questions ended with me spending around $1650 on eyeglasses that had to be replaced twice and ended up being just ok for my needs. Less than a year later, I'm having to replace them again. Driving is what brought me in to the optometrist. I was beginning to have trouble with focus at dusk and at night when reading street signs and dealing with headlights, traffic lights, etc. I'm also a grad student, so I read a lot - A LOT - but not on screens. This was my first pair of wear-all-the-time eyeglasses, so I decided to try progressives. When I went to the optician side, someone should have asked me all of that right off the bat: how/when are you going to use these glasses? What brought you in for your exam? Is there a specific issue that you're dealing with? What kind of insurance coverage do you have? None of these questions were asked. Information that wasn't made clear up front: the actual cost of neurolenses (which I do recommend - if you have money). The cost of the frames that were chosen was also not made clear up front. Options like transitions, blue light blockers, oil resistant coating, etc. No mention until much, much later. No mention was made that I could restyle if I didn't like the frames, either. No mention was made that they could be adjusted for fit, until much later, either. The first frames that were chosen were highly recommended by an optometrist there. I was uncomfortable with their size, but open-minded and willing to give it a try. After all, they *were* my first pair of eyeglasses. They go on your face. I knew I would have to get used to them. I asked if they were too big, and was told they were perfect. I ordered them. I thought I'd be looking at about $400-$500. Two weeks later, I pick them up and am told upwards of $1500! I should have walked out but I was shocked, and also needed them. So, I paid for them, tried them on, and was instantly aware that I wouldn't be able to read in them. I said as much to the optician, who made no adjustments, said she'd call me in two weeks to see how it was going, and that was that. Again, these were my first pair, and I knew I would have to try them for a few weeks to give my eyes a chance to adjust, so I went along with it. Two weeks later, the optometrist did call, and I asked about clip-on sunshades because I was experiencing headaches from the brightness of the sun when driving. There were none available, but she could add Transitions lenses for $138. Two weeks later, I go to pick up the new glasses. As I'm leaving, I mention that I'm still getting used to the frames, but looking forward to using the Transitions for driving. She got a strange look on her face, but didn't say anything. The Transitions lenses were so weak, I ended up buying clip-ons from Walgreens and cutting them to fit. I looked like an idiot. On top of it, I couldn't read in these glasses unless I physically held the frames higher up on my face with one hand. The other option was looking so far down on the lenses that people would ask me if I was asleep while reading. My neck was a mess. I also felt like a clown in the frames. I finally sent an email asking if all of this was normal. A different optician invited me in to restyle. What?! You can do that? No one told me that. I made the 40 min drive out - an hour and 40 back each time, btw, because of the freeway situation - and we went through about 10 different frames, none of which were great, but at least they weren't clown glasses. He also told me that there are different types of Transitions, and the wrong type had been ordered. He also adjusted the reader Rx and ordered a different pair. Two weeks later, he's adjusting the 2nd pair so I can really read in them - not just check a text or read a pay terminal for 12 seconds - but there was a moment when he suggested I get computer distance glasses instead. Why would I want that? I have three perfectly good pairs at home: one was fully covered by insurance, one was $20 from Walmart, and one was about $150 from Zenni Optical. I don't get it. The new Transitions worked well, but when I got home, I noticed that these frames weren't the ones I'd ordered - and were equally disturbing. Now I looked like my mother - which is not ok. Again, I tried to get used to them, but was so embarrassed in them that I actually blew off a friend's birthday party at one point. The optician told me we could do one more restyle. They were decent. However, I can't read in these either for any length of time, and have utterly given up. I don't think it's even been 6 months since the final pair came in, and I need a new Rx. They were pleasant, Dr. Wesley was very good. But too much time, gas, way too much money, limited selection of men's frames, not enough information shared, and they should've asked a lot more questions. Mediocre end result. A real miss.
