As of the "big five-o," I've worn progressive lenses and I've never been completely satisfied with them. Recently, a colleague recommended I make an appointment with Dr. Early at For Eyes' Windward Parkway location. My colleague told me she had been very satisfied with Dr. Early, as well as the service and selection provided by For Eyes, so I scheduled an appointment.
Dr. Early was excellent. When I told him about my work (I'm a cinematographer) and my concerns, it was very apparent he listened. His questions were germane, insightful and thorough. He took a lot of time discussing the details of how I work, the problems I had with my progressive lenses and what I wanted my new prescription to achieve.
The examination was equally impressive. When it was time to test various prescription adjustments, I didn't feel rushed as we proceeded through a series of "better or worse" settings, all of which Dr. Early repeated until I was absolutely sure of my evaluation.
Perfect.
After the exam I met Marina, an optician on the For Eyes sales staff. I found her to be as diligent, helpful, patient and professional as Dr. Early. Although there were other customers in the store and she and the For Eyes staff were busy, Marina was very attentive. When I told her about my work and that I wanted a frame and lens combination that would be lightweight and extremely durable, Marina directed my attention to an array of frame styles she thought to be appropriate. Thanks to her savvy input, I narrowed my choices quickly, Marina completed my order and I was out the door.
Seven days later, Marina called and left a voice mail message. The following week when I returned from an assignment, I went be the store and Marina completed the final fitting, adjusting and readjusting my frames until they fit perfectly.
I couldn't be happier. The new prescription is excellent and the frames feel great. For the first time in years, my vision is laser sharp. Yes, the entire cost of my new glasses - exam and two pairs (I took advantage of a special offer for a second pair) - wasn't pocket change. However, I've always been willing to pay a fair price in exchange for real value. Considering the quality of the personal attention I received and the enormous improvement in my vision, For Eyes Alpharetta was a great investment. read more
