Eye Contact by Kathy really went out of their way to make me happy!:) I don't have insurance and was nervous about spending my hard earn dollars at a place that was either going to rip me off or at a place that would sell me garbage glasses from a vending machine. After trying on several frames, I had my exam and the doctor (who was very nice) dilated my eyes. I couldn't see very well and didn't have my contact lenses in. So when I tried on a few more frames, I could vaguely make out the shape. Long story short, I thought I picked out a style I liked but when I went to pick them up I wanted to cry, not what I remembered. The ladies there (I feel terrible I don't remember their names) really went out of their way to make me happy. They got frames from other companies for me to try on, allowed me to exchange the frames I had ordered, and were just really accommodating and helpful! In the end, I am getting the glasses I love! They are super sweet and really do a great job of recommending frames that look good on you! Also I feel like the prices were fair, I had a great exam, and couldn't be happier. I absolutely recommend!!!!!!!!! read more

Eye Contact by Kathy - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Endicott, New York

I have been going to Eye Contact for many years - and for good reason. Kathy is really good at fitting my contacts - down to the last detail. I've never been disappointed with her prescription and the care she took to examine my eyes. More fun to be had in choosing frames for sunglasses, etc.! Where around here can you find LaFont frames? Fabulous! More care taken to make sure the fit is just right. Can't say enough good things about them. read more

Kathy is terrific, very thorough and a lot of fun. Likewise was the optometrist. And the receptionist. It's a very chill environment.

Extremely helpful, thorough, and kind staff. Excellent care and I cannot recommend this place enough.

I have been going to Eye Contact by Kathy for many years. I am very pleased every time I go there and usually ask for their advice when picking out new frames. I appreciate their attentiveness and expert advice. Getting an eye exam is important and the eye Dr there is very thorough. I recommend this place 100%. I am a very happy customer! read more

Kathy and her employees have been amazing for the 20 years I've been coming here. They care about their patients. My daughter's glasses broke and a replacement came in right away. This has happened several times throughout the years and I never have to wait long. All of the women are superb. I feel like their family. Never going anywhere else. Molly is an excellent doctor and is always fast and accurate. Thank you Kathy, Molly, Tricia and everyone else who has helped me over the years! read more

Great service! Friendly staff. Huge selection of the latest styles. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Highly recommended. I am considered a "poor candidate" for contact lenses, as my eyesight is still very good, but I increasingly need reading glasses. Although contacts for presbyopia have been around for many years, fitting them satisfactorily requires an accomplished practitioner. This is particularly true for rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. Before visiting Eye Contact for Kathy, I had a horrible experience with the leading ophthalmic practice in the Binghamton area -- an experience that left me with a pair of contacts that (quite literally) did not fit my eyes. Even the optometrist at that practice admitted that the contacts did not conform to my eye; they lifted up at the bottom. By my count, this was the 7th pair of contacts that I had tried from that practice. In desperation and upon the recommendation of a friend, I made an appointment with Kathy Weiss for a second try. She thoroughly examined my eyes both with and without the horrible contacts in, explained to me why the "bad" contacts were not working, had me "test drive" a pair of contacts that was close to what I needed, examined the tear film under the contact with fluoroscein (i.e. carefully checked the fit), tested both my near and far vision, and then ordered me an appropriate pair of contacts. Dr. Weiss answered all my questions thoroughly and satisfactorily. (I am an experimental scientist, so I do ask a lot of technical questions. I am sure this gets annoying.) My experience with Dr Weiss was quite different from my experience with the other practitioner, who made me wear the poorly fitting contacts for 2 weeks before examining my eyes, did not examine the fit with fluoroscein, and never tested my reading vision. As a result of the care that went into my initial examination, my new contacts are fantastic. In addition to being much more comfortable those from the previous practice, the new contacts provide good far and near vision. After wearing them for almost a week now, I am very happy. In summary, successfully fitting contacts for presbyopia requires a careful and highly skilled practitioner. The Binghamton area is lucky to have such a person in Kathy Weiss. read more

I really like this eye place...tons of a selection for glasses, Kathy and the eye docs are nice and very patient only negative is the secretary, gave it a second and third chance but she is very rude any time you ask a question, she gets very defensive. Almost makes me not want to even go here. read more

My family and I have been doing business here for many many years and I must say I absolutely love this place. It's a small business so the staff and Kathy recognize us by name and even remember what's happening in our lives. I can't imagine ever going any place else for eye care. It is so rare to see people in the health care field that actually care about OUR WELL BEING!!!!!!! If you want amazing customer service, awesome selection of frames, specialty contact lenses, and people who treat you like friends and family this is the place!!!!!! I love watching how passionate these ladies are about providing us with extraordinary service. read more

The glasses I am wearing are from here actually. Parking is miserable. You end up having to walk quite a bit. The frames are nice but not worth the crap to go through. They had to get the lenses fitted to the frame. Fine with me. They said they would call me when I could pick them up. Awesome. After a week I called multiple times and no one answered. I decided to go in. They had been ready to pick up for 3 or so days and no one bothered to call me. Tried to call them 5 different times and they don't seem to answer their phones. read more

This place used to be a great location, but has had trouble maintaining the same level of customer service since they expanded operations. They've lost that love and feeling, and without the high level of service to differentiate their operation, you may as well pay a discount and go to a franchised establishment. read more

Our entire family is spoken to directly by the doctor or the professional who is taking care of us. We found the most beautiful frames--we've never seen such an artisitic selection of quality frames at any other doctors office. A friend came with us and he has excellus where he had only a certain selection of frames available that his plan would provide. They showed us a catalogue and said the would get more frames in 3 days. They did and they were not crummy looking. All of these women really do their most to get the best for you, even if you can't afford what you wish you could. read more
