I'm just disgusting of how the guy treat me this place I was searching for eye doctor. I found this place is in net worth for my insurance and I went inside. The sign is open so if the sign isn't open, that means I'm welcome to go in it doesn't say appointments only it doesn't say customers only it says open so I went in and ask a question before I go through to make an appointment. I asked the guy I just want to check what kind of brand of glasses you have cause I'm looking for Oakley's so he was like I'm sorry we'll be close and I was like but the sign says open. He was like yes, but we close this is for customers only I was like you should have a sign outside. I feel so disgusting and for real I will never come back here ever racially profiling people is never good. read more

Have been going to them for 10 years now. Dan always works with me to get the best glasses possible for my budget. I was having double vision and now I have prisms in my glasses that completely take away the double vision. Highly recommend Florida Optical Services!!! read more

I went to Florida Optical to be fitted for Rigid Gas Permeable contact lens. I previously have had Lasik and cataract surgery on both eyes, thus knew I would be very difficult to fit. I had previously been told by another eye doctor that I would be too difficult to fit and he would not even attempt to do it....said to wear soft lens. Dan Acosta, Florida Optical, worked with me for 3-1/2 months to get it perfect. He was extremely patient, explained everything he did along the way, and was always encouraging. I love my new RGP lens, and am so appreciative for the time and effort Dan put forth to make this happen. I would not hesitate to recommend him highly. As an after note: on 2 separate occasions while I was there, there were 2 different people that walked in with a minor problem, and he fixed their frames while they waited, and told them no charge. Who in the world does that anymore in today's times?? This is a good guy! read more

Very friendly and thorough exam. My eyesight correction is complicated due to bilateral cataract surgery and surgery for a retinal detachment. Not only was ab etter prescription found but it was discovered I had new onset steroid induced glaucoma. read more

I've got to go with a 5 even though he didn't really do anything. But...he suggested I get my cataracts fixed before anything else and the gave me a complimentary cataract exam and suggested his best recommendation. I will certainly return to him when cataracts are removed, thanks doc! read more

I finally found a person who is an expert with contacts. I can see again finally, after along time with many offices and different kinds. Extremely nice and easy office. Daniel Acosta is very nice and explains every action throughly. Follow up fittings explained very well also. Do not hesitate if you need contacts or glasses. THANK YOU DANIEL! read more

Visited to get a new pair of Eye Glasses. Dan helped me tremendously when it came to price, especially what my Insurance paid etc. Very happy customer. Looking forward to receiving my new glasses! read more

I came to Fort Myers's on vacation only to break my prescription sunglasses on day 2, Florida Optical saved me. They were easy to find, so helpful and compassionate. We were able to get my lenses fit into another pair of frames and back out the door in under an hour. Thank so much for being there when I needed you!!! Highly recommend for prescription glass emergency! read more

I walked in without an appointment and Dan helped me adjust my new glasses that was bought somewhere else. He was very knowledgeable and fixed the glasses to fit properly on my face. His knowledge was awesome and he made me feel happy even though I stopped by unexpectedly after he was closed for the day and still handled fixing my glasses. I will only go there for all my optical needs, I highly recommend someone so unconditional. read more

Nice to find an independent "Mom and Pop" optical center. In a world filled with huge companies that you get lost in the shuffle. It is nice to find a self-owned business. Dan is very knowledgeable and explained clearly every question I had about my prescription. Due to his small business structure, he focuses on providing service with really neat equipment and frames. So you can tell by his business that he concentrates on giving you value and the best service anyone can provide. The one-on-one attention and his eye on detail are amazing in a time when everything is big Corp and no one cares mentality. He was very helpful and even gave me a referral to see a Retina Specialist, to make sure I continue with my eye health. Give him a call you won't be disappointed. He gives exceptional service with glasses and especially contacts. read more

We are out of town visitors and had bike crash that broke and bent frames ALMOST beyond repair. But Dr./tech was able to fix good enough to get us home. Took us with no wait - thanks Florida Optical!! Great read more

I had an eye exam a year ago here as well as the glasses I purchased. It was a nice experience, he was very helpful, especially with the almost hour I spent trying to pick out the right frame. Anyway, I went back this week to have my lenses fixed and he took care of me right away and went above and beyond for ordering my replacement lenses so I could still wear my glasses as I wait for the new ones. Good customer service. I've been wearing glasses and contacts for 20 years and have been to probably at least 15 different eye doctors, and he is one of my favorites in SWFL. read more

The two times that I have visited Florida optical services, Dan has provided exceptional, personalized service at an affordable rate, even without insurance. I was pleasantly surprised when he remembered small personal details about me. I would highly recommend his services if you are looking for a great experience where you will not be treated like a number. read more

I have never been treated with such kindness and genuine caring about my eyesight and overall well being as I have in being a patient here. Not enough good can be said of Dr. Daniel Acosta, his caring and gentle manner,and his generosity of spirit and community, while dealing with a difficult patient who doesn't like anyone near their eyes! Thank you for all you've done. You have my business for life. read more

Very good customer service. I called off hours in at 8am and my phone call was returned immediately, but I was informed that they were not open; however, the gentlemen informed me that they would be pleased to help with my broken frame at 10am. I showed up with a severely damaged frame, but it was fixed immediately! Thanks:) I would have had a miserable day without my glasses. read more

Fantastic experience, great chair-side manor. Both Dr's took the time and patience with me answering all my questions utilizing both old school and new age technology. Very thorough contact lens exam with follow ups. The office offers a very inviting feeling no hurry up to get you in and out like the last office I visited when my eye would not stop watering, you are not left feeling like just a file. I highly recommend a visit to this office or their 2nd location in Bonita or the first in Miami. Next visit I will design my own glasses to wear in between contacts. read more

After an accident in which my rimless bifocal glasses were badly damaged & being a visitor here, I found Florida Optical's website "glasses repair" helpful & called them. Spoke to Dan Acosta who was just closing but agreed to wait for me. Dan met me on arrival & examined my glasses & warned me that any attempt at repair could result in breakage. This was obvious to me anyway. Dan started work immediately & made several adjustments. He repaired them expertly & they fit well. I found Dan to be a good listener & pleasant to deal with. I could not believe that he offered to wait for me before closing (approx. 1/2 hour). read more

We stopped in Saturday morning to have my glasses repaired. We were warmly greeted by Mr. Acosta who tried to fix my glasses, but they were too far gone. He proceeded to show us different frames where we could use my lenses and save some money. He was very accommodating and more importantly very honest. We recommend him quite highly. read more

So lucky to have found this office. My daughter arrived in town with badly twisted glasses and they were able to repair them beautifully. Convenient location and easy parking. read more

Florida Optical Services came to the rescue on a Saturday morning. My mom is in town for an eye surgery. On Saturday morning the screw came out of her glasses and the lens fell out. Even though Saturday services are by appointment, we called and were happily told we could be seen within a half hour. My mom's glasses were then fixed within minutes. Thanks to Florida Optical Services for saving our day in such a kind and caring manner! read more

Thats great that Dr. Swift can only post his resume as a response. Here is another challenge I offer to him. Collecting a fee for services AFTER the product has been provided. When I took ethics back during my clinical lab training, that is an important thing. Florida Optical Service however wants your money UPFRONT then gives you a product. Note to consumers; my glasses broke after two days, guess that tells a lot about the products Florida Optical Services sells. read more

I bought my glasses there last week and they are awesome. They took their time explaining everything specially since my prescription is so high. My rimless frames are almost invisible. The optician and doctor are very knowleadgeable. I have never worn contacts because another dr said I could not. Dan fitted me with ones that are comfortable and I can see great! read more

I am very satisfied with their service. I am glad I went to see the Ophthalmologist as they discovered a medical condition that was missed by other doctors. Dilation made my vision blurry for about 20 minutes but I was light sensitive for several hours. I have always been dilated over the years and it always lasts a long time. The staff did inform me of the effects of the dilation. My prescription eyeglasses were right on the money and I can see perfectly. Dr. Swift and Dan...you did a great job! The eyeglass selection was also very good. I know that my prescription is high and I appreciate the time that your staff took. I paid $100 for the dilated examination because they had to use a special instrument. My wife paid $75 for a regular exam. As for his assistants, they are kind and caring. I would not hesitate to send friends or relative to see them, Canadian Friendly! read more

I purchased my glasses on 2/22/16 and picked them up two weeks later. While in the office I mentioned to Dan that I felt they were stronger than I thought they would be but left with then anyway feeling confident he knew best for my eyes. I tried to wear them home but had to take them off because I was not able to drive with them on. I got home and tried to do my homework and was unable to even make out the words and the computer was distorted. I called Dan and he said to try them for a week and to let him know. The next day he calls me back to say that I was sent the wrong lenses and that he would order new ones. Two weeks later I pick up the new lenses but they are almost as bad as the first. Dan recommends I see Dr. Swift, so the next day I see him. He put drops in my eye and examines my eyes then fits me with glasses, he hands me a paper to read at this point I can't even see him or Dan my vision was totally blurry. So then Dr. Swift changes the prescription and then prescribes me that prescription. That was red flag number three because like I said I couldn't even see them at this point much less the words on the paper. Dr. Swift leaves and I'm left with Dan who wants to order me new glasses and fill out paperwork. I did not want those glasses because I found it strange that he fit me with glasses when I couldn't even see them much less that paper. I was refunded my money for the glasses minus $100.00 for the visit fee which I clearly remember Dan saying to me previously would be $75.00 to see Dr. Swift, I guess the price changes when a refund is taking place. So from 2/22/16 to 3/19/16 and 4 trips to the office, I walk away without glasses, a feeling of disappointment, and a feeling of not trusting anything Dan or Dr. Swift said. At this point I would rather invest more money into getting a second opinion for my own piece of mind than to buy glasses here. Was I treated right? I'm not sure because I have never worn glasses and have no frame of reference, so I will leave it to you to decide. I did however sit in the parking lot trying to see for the next 40 minutes, finally able to see good enough to make it to Costco were I wondered for the next hour trying to get my vision back. Is this normal? I'm not sure but after 5 hours my eyes finally started to look normal and I could see better. Does it normally take that long? They said 15 to 20 minutes but I beg to differ. So if you would like to visit Dan and Dr. Swift for your glasses, go ahead I hope yours is not such a lengthy process and hope you are happy with the service. Me on the other hand will be getting a second opinion and comparing the prescription I was given with the new one to see how accurate the diagnose Dan and Dr. Swift gave me is. If in the end they were right then that fine but at least I will have piece of mind. Happy shopping for glasses to all! read more
