    This office is amazing, I brought my mom and my daughter here my mom needed me in the room with her…read moreand they helped my daughter with her eye care needs they were so patient and understanding this took a lot of stress off of me and this was a smooth appointment they were amazing so very kind Thank you for everything.

    I have debated for some time whether to leave a review of my experience or not and, after finally…read morereceiving some clarity from Transitions directly, decided it was time. We recently moved to New Kent from Texas and in establishing new Doctor/Patient relationships opted to purchase my new eyeglasses from New Kent Eye Care to "support a local business" several weeks ago. I didn't get my exam there, only ordered glasses, and worked with Patty who was very nice and helpful. I decided on a pair of lined-bifocals with the Transition lenses and was told (and shown on my invoice) that the lenses they recommended and ordered were the darker XTRActive lenses as my eyes are quite light sensitive, and was told they would be best for my needs. When I received the glasses they hardly darkened at all, but I gave it a few days to see if it was just me. A few days later I called and went back in person to show the issue to her and inquire if the lab could possibly have made a mistake and/or if the lenses were just duds. She used the UV light they had and the lenses darkened quite nicely, but outside on that very sunny day...nothing near what they did in-store. Patty stated they would inquire with the lab they use, but would not take my glasses back until the correction was made and the new lenses arrived so I wouldn't be totally without. She also made several suggestions regarding size and placement of the bifocal lens (I didn't know there were options for this as it was all new to me), but I wanted to be sure that, considering the issue I was already having, if the glasses were not as expected, that I would be able to return or replace them and not be out my $200 (using VSP Insurance). She stated "yes", but also decided to go ahead and keep my glasses with the promise of a phone call in the next couple of days with the ultimate resolution. Well, I received a call from her stating that they were just going to refund my money...this is after waiting 2-3 weeks at this point to get my glasses and then fiddle around with them. I asked if they found out anything about the lenses and she said the Dr spoke with the lab and she "was not going to discuss it with me". I tried to press her for an answer so I could understand if Transitions were just not an option for me and again, she refused. I asked that she have the Dr please call me and share what he learned from the lab...(that never happened)...and by the end of my conversation with Patty she had become very forceful and rude about not giving me any answers. So...I had to start shopping again, once again looking at options and hoping that Transitions would work for me so I could get by with a single pair of glasses. Long story short, I FINALLY heard back from Transitions today and was told that the XTRActive lenses are not even available in lined bifocals. Had New Kent Eye Care just owned the mistake they made instead of covering it up by simply refunding my money (and severing any further relationship with them...their words, not mine) I would never be writing this review, but I believe people deserve to know who they're dealing with when making such an expensive purchase as this. It's sad, but as for good business sense, customer service and ethics...a big fat zero for this local business due to my personal experience.
