It was that time of year again.. time to get an eye and contacts exam and buy new everything. I…read morealways dread this because my prescription is so awful and changes every year, so I always need a new contact prescription and new glasses. On top of that, I hate wearing glasses because even after paying extra for the thinner lens, my lenses are so thick that I look ridiculous wearing them. This year was different. My insurance changed so I looked for a new eye care place near our home in Maplewood. I came across this location and chose it because they had Saturday hours and good deals through my insurance. My eye exam was quick and painless, and I came out with a new glasses and contacts prescription. I went to pick our glasses. Instead of searching through a ton of mediocre frames and waiting in line for what seems forever to get someone to assist you, I was helped quickly by someone that understands my style and need for a frame that goes well with my thick lenses. She walked me through all of my options and got me the cheapest set of the best glasses possible (anti reflective, thinner lenses, the whole 9 yards). After ordering them, I was led to the counter where I also ordered contacts and was given a rebate form to send in once I received them. A week later, my contacts arrived at my home and less than two weeks later, my glasses arrived. They are amazing! For literally years, probably 15 to give perspective, I've only worn glasses at night because I hate how I couldn't see as well with them and how bad they looked on me. Now I wear them whenever my eyes are tired or just for fun! It's so nice to be able to give my eyes a break, especially when I work overnights or long hours in the hospital. I highly recommend this place. They have a huge selection of awesome glasses, service is quick and painful, and the staff are all super nice and eager to help. So glad I came here!

It started with my prescription needing to be adjusted, and the optometrist was incredibly condescending throughout the process. At first, Nikki was kind and said they'd remake the lenses with the new prescription. Weeks later, the lenses came back -- but with the old prescription. They remade them again, this time with the correct prescription, but then the frames broke, so they had to reorder them. When the new frames arrived, they were different from the original ones I chose. When I pointed this out, they insisted it was the same model and that the manufacturer "must have changed them." Instead of apologizing, they said they'd see which frames fit my lenses -- as if I should just accept whatever worked. By this point, I'd been back multiple times, only because of their repeated mistakes, yet they treated me like I was the problem. It wasn't until I insisted on a refund that they finally agreed to make another pair in the correct frames. This entire process was an absolute nightmare -- disorganized, rude, and completely lacking accountability. Steer clear.

They then checked them and agreed that they needed to be redone, without apology. My son was told that his frames were slightly bent during his eye exam. But no adjustment was made because he had to buy this replacement pair elsewhere while away at college - not exactly the way you would expect a long term customer to be treated. And finally, my daughter who has worn contacts for years was not given a contact lens prescription during her last appointment. Now she needs to spend time out of her day to come back for another exam - No appology given. Used to love this place. Sadly it's gone down-hill rather fast. My family of 4 will not be returning.

She talked me into getting a Verilux Progressive lens, having told me beforehand that if I did not like them and they didn't work out for me that she would replace them for the single vision lens for both my reading and distance lens for no extra charge. She however reneged on this offer/statement when I came back with the progressive lens because they did not live up to the hype they tried to convince me of. There was to much distortion on the overall lens, the distance portion was not sharp and clear and had a shorter range, and I had to move my head all over to just find the clarity for the area of distance I was trying to see from whether it was distance, intermediate. or reading level. She was only willing to make one pair of lenses which meant I had to choose either distance or reading. The cost of the one pair of Varilux progressive lenses was 3 times the price of what 2 single vision lenses would be so she made money and I feel like I got ripped off. I would not recommend Scenic Eye Care because you can't trust their word, their inventory for frames are very limited and they need more staffing.

So it took a lot of research to find a SKILLED optician with full medical training. I wanted to AVOID at all cost going to a MASS MERCHANT like Pearle Vision, etc etc. I was shocked to find Dr Alan Lee's shop and practice so close to 94 East on White Bear Lake Road, and it was SPACIOUS modern with a carefully planned broad selection of glass frames from designer to moderate. (They also carry contact lenses.) I have a background years ago in fashion merchandising ( BloomingdalesNYC right out of college), and i found the selection surprisingly very good. Dr Lee majored in biology and neurobiology at U of Wisconsin Madison Med School and received his Doctor of Optometry in Boston at the highly respected New England College of Optometry. He was relaxed, friendly, not rushed and carefully checked all details of my prescription and exact placement of the various complex components of my special lenses. He has an assistant to help and appointments are advised. They accept all insurance and i had zero problems with this process. I received my new frames and lenses in less than 2 weeks. This is a rare find.
