I have been in glasses since 1979, so I've been around the block with several types of eye doctors,…read moresurgeons, billing practices, eye wear options and office staff at several different vision care centers. I'm confident in saying that Six One Six is by far, one of the best vision care facilities I have ever been to. I came here because they were one of the few places that took my horrible vision insurance from a previous job I had. I finally moved companies and now have exceptional coverage, yet found no reason to switch providers, regardless of the abundance of in-network and closer vision options to me. I have never experienced any issues regarding care, appointments, communication or billing in the 4 years I've been a customer. In fact, I've experienced exceptionally personalized, professional and authentic care from day one. I've had the absolute pleasure of being Dr Shelby Strick's patient from the get-go and am consistently comforted by her attention to detail, assurance and easy-to-understand explanation on everything I'm experiencing. Allie is usually the one that takes care of me with picking out eyewear, fittings and reviewing my bill. She is truly exceptional...with her patience, support to ensure you're getting what you need within budget (but still looking hot in your specs) and most of all, how approachable and friendly she is. I feel lucky to find such amazing people to take care of me.

If you're looking for Oliver Peoples eyeglass frames, this is THE place in the Boise area to find a…read moretop notch selection of them in many styles, sizes and colors as well as an impressive array of quality frames in other brands. Add in skilled opticial specialists, thanks to both Amy and Wylie, and their knowledge in size, style and fit, this is as easy as eyeglass shopping gets once you are in the door. (I'll come back to that.) SELECTION & SERVICE: My husband has been on the hunt for an additional pair of sunglasses and he found Ray Bans here that were just what he had in mind but wanted them in polarized lenses. Amy ordered them and they were in within two weeks time. I knew what OP frames I was looking for and while they had them in store, not in the smaller sizes I needed and she ordered those as well, in addition to a couple of others I wanted to consider. Wylie was particularly helpful in offering expert feedback on how the frames fit once the ordered items arrived. It is early days; I haven't had the lenses made yet but I anticipate a great outcome on those as well. Service plays the key role on why we went in to begin with when I called to ask whether they carried Oliver People's frames and I was able to talk to someone who could answer my questions. That is increasingly rare these days so kudos to them for making it easy. PRICE POINTS & OPTIONS: They offer 50% off each additional pair of eyeglass frames when you buy one so I'm buying at least two pair, maybe a third, Add in the pair my husband purchased, that is three or maybe four pair of eyeglasses here because not only their selection is good but their service is great. (Even if the parking lot made it difficult for me to get in the door. I'll come back to that.) If you're on a tight budget, ask the optical specialists about some special low cost frames, they have them in a couple of tucked away cases, that with prescription lenses added can come in at maybe as little as under $150 total. ACCESSIBILITY: Nicely accessible interior; all on one floor, ample room for path of travel for buyers who might use wheelchairs to look at the displays. Accessible seating at fitting tables. My husband reports the loo is accessible too. The rub is the parking lot in this relatively newly built (sometime in 2000s) mostly medical or medical adjacent service provider buildings strip complex is neither ADA (law) nor Idaho Building Code compliant (Accessibility Chapter 11) for parking. For this building strip there is only one, non van accessible, spot at the far end of the strip. Given that is the only curb ramp location, if you are unable to step up over a curb, it will between difficult to impossible to get in the door. MY SOAP BOX: I said I'd come back to this; Accessibility law and code for parking responsibility of whomever owns the parking lot but 36 years after the laws and codes were established (1990) it is mind boggling this is wrong and it prevents disabled people from equal access to this good business. (Yep, I have a dog in this hunt since I have had multiple sclerosis since college days.) The owners might think of that and put some pressure on the lot owner given we with disabilities spend money too.

On January 23, 2025, I visited Tree City Eyecare in Boise, Idaho, for an eye exam with Dr. Jeremy…read moreBall. Since I do not have vision insurance, I paid for the visit out of pocket. During the exam, Dr. Ball informed me that my prescription had changed, with my left eye's measurement shifting from -2.50 to -7.50. He also did not compare my old prescription to my new one so I could compare the 2. After returning home to Tennessee, I took my prescription to Sam's Club in Bristol, Virginia, to have my glasses filled. I ordered a regular pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses, totaling nearly $600, and let's not forget about the 1.5-hour drive each way from my home. When I picked up my glasses, I tried them on as usual. While I could see well for reading, my distance vision felt hazy, as if I were looking through a cloud. The staff suggested I wear my old glasses for the night and give my eyes a chance to adjust. I followed this advice, but the next morning, I still experienced cloudiness with the new glasses. After wearing them all day in an attempt to acclimate, I covered each lens to check for clarity. I found that my left eye was significantly blurry, indicating that the issue was with my new prescription glasses. Consequently, I scheduled another eye exam in my local area, which I also had to pay for out of pocket. The new doctor conducted a thorough examination and concluded that my prescription had not changed at all. This meant I would need to make another three-hour round trip back to Bristol, Virginia, to have a correct prescription filled. Additionally, I realized I would not have needed to order new sunglasses, as I already owned two pairs that were suitable based on my existing prescription. On the other hand, I do require new regular glasses, as my current pair is scratched and approximately five or six years old. After my recent eye exam, I contacted Kelly, the manager at Tree City Eyecare, to explain the situation regarding my prescription. She informed me that she couldn't assist me immediately but promised to consult with the owner, Dr. Jaimen Dixson, and get back to me the following day. When Kelly called the next day, she relayed that the owner would not take any action. I expressed that I was not seeking a full refund; I only requested reimbursement for my second eye exam. I explained that I had incurred over $800 in costs when it should have only been around $430, not to mention the inconvenience and travel expenses involved. Kelly suggested I return to Idaho for a re-examination, but I declined. I offered to show her my receipt and the new prescription as proof that I had been misdiagnosed and that it was unreasonable for them not to cover my new eye exam. I emphasized that this situation reflects poorly on their business practices, as I am a business owner myself.

I discovered this place during a summer neighborhood party. The moment I walked in I knew I needed to move eye doctors. I asked a million questions to Deanna about the new business, what insurance they accept, and also if I could have a chocolate. Just like at home! I also now call and Deanna knows exactly who she is chatting with and thankfully she always gets me in for an appointment. I think the thing I like the best about Barber Town is obviously the small town eye doctor feel but I also love that they are everyday people. I feel like I have known both for ages, like I have grownup visiting for my eye check every year. The place is clean, hip, and welcoming. I never wait long, or at all. During busy Bown Crossing times, I can see parking being difficult but I go around 4:00 pm and it hasn't been a problem. I would like to compare this college for some reason. This isn't a college where you are a number, this is a college with small class sizes where the instructor knows your name and your stories. It is the best! Now go get your eyeballs checked already!!
