    I am so grateful to Casco Bay EyeCare! Last Spring, I had an accident with one of my eyes while…read moreshaving. It was scary, I thought I might lose my vision which was getting blurry and deteriorating in just a couple of weeks. Since I was on Cape Cod dog sitting, I drove up to the Mass Eye and Ear emergency room in Boston. What a shocking disappointment, their ancient equipment looked left over from the Civil War and their ER doctors were literally running from room to room. After that strange appointment, I was more anxious about my vision. Then I thought to call and make an appointment with Casco Bay EyeCare in Portland. I'm a long time independent Medicare agent and have lots of Maine clients who are happy patients there. A week later, with little sleep and stressed out, I drove over three hours for an appointment with Dr. Amy Cyr. I entered their beautiful Old Port offices, hopeless and exhausted. I asked one of the front desk gals for a hug. Dr. Cyr led me into her office which was so clean, her equipment looked brand new and as up to date as could be. Dr. Cyr put me at ease right away and said she could help me. She spent over an hour examining my eyes from every angle, with the latest equipment that Mass Eye and Ear ER did not have! I had one of the worst cases of dry eye Dr. Cyr had ever seen, my eyes were a mess with irritation and thus the blurriness. I left the appointment with hope restored and deep gratitude. I immediately began a daily regimen of preservative-free eye drops in both eyes several times a day, which I continue to this day. My eyes retuned to normal within a week of my appointment with Dr. Cyr. On a follow up visit a few weeks later, I brought a bouquet of flowers for my eye hero, Dr. Amy Cyr and the good gals at the front desk. To me, the team at Casco Bay EyeCare in the Old Port, are eye angels. Thank you, above all, Dr. Cyr and also Kaylin, Liz and Debbie. Thank you.

    My two children and I had eye exams here, but our insurance doesn't cover frames just the exams…read more After I told them that I would be purchasing glasses online because there was no way I could afford even one pair of their glasses they were very rude and the tech's tried to refuse to do our PD measurements. After some convincing they begrudgingly agreed. They did my two kids, but when they got to me, I noticed they held the PD machine at a strange angle and the measurement came back much different than my previous PD. I asked if they were sure they did it right and they responded with a very curt 'I know how to do my job' I got a more recent eye exam at a different place and they confirmed my PD measurement never changed and that the people at Casco Bay had botched the measurement purposely because I wasn't buying their glasses.

    Long-overdue review edit coming soon…read more TL;DR summary for now: 5 stars all the way - I had an initial scheduling issue and it collided with a temporary staffing issue they had and Dr. K went above and beyond to resolve the issue.

    This place infuriates me…read more The last two/three times I've gone to them, had my contact exam, and ordered contacts, I've been very low on contacts and let them know this. I also haven't had a car. So, I pay an additional $9 on top of the crazy contact cost to have them shipped to me. Every single time they've told me to expect them to get to me in 4-5 business days. And every single time, it's two weeks later, I'm out of contacts, and I don't have them yet. The first time I called asking, they said whoops, they've been sitting here for a week and a half. They finally shipped them and I got them a couple days later. This time, it's been 15 days. I called at day 13 asking what was up. They put me on hold, then straight up lied to me and said they were out for delivery and would be there in a few hours. Two days later and they're nowhere to be found. No updates. I'm paying $9 for shipping and the contacts sit there for weeks until you literally call them and ask what's up. Now I'm out of contacts, and very frustrated. I know this is basic, but what the f***? These are my eyes! And these contacts cost an arm and a leg!!!! Do better plz. Sorry

The one doctor I had been referred to, as great had just retired. But I figured with long months to wait I see whomever same clinic. I do have a life !! I did make surgery app but the day had been so chaotic reviewing the experience there.... I called cancelled. Add a great coordinating person at the end was kind. She listened to the 'entire' story and understood. (Similar story on here, so don't judge that person ). I asked to be referred elsewhere. Random gripe: What should be required as people calling you have a medical or business number so you know who is calling. I don't answer numbers I don't know as so many political / charity solicitors. And I keep a photographic and detailed call list.

But when I called right away to reschedule, I was told the earliest available appointment was approximately eight months later, and told it in no uncertain terms. Apparently, patients whose appointments are canceled by the practice are just returned to the back of the line. I really needed this appointment, so they really did me dirty.

There was not a day that went by that I didn't get complimented on the frames. The people who work there helped me pick a pair of glasses that really fit my face, and have some style to them, too. But that's not why I'm writing this review. I stepped on the glasses a few weeks ago and broke one of the arms. I called the store to see if they had a replacement, and though they didn't, they got in touch with the manufacturer and ordered me a new one. As the company was in Paris it took awhile, but the folks in charge kept me up to date and sure enough, delivered the arm to me this week. The glasses are back on my nose and I'm ready for the next round of compliments. Thank you, OE!

Being that we are all about a well designed frame, we immediately walked in to browse the assortment and were greeted with open arms by Trudy and Nina. Although we didn't purchase anything, their commitment to connecting with prospective clients was outstanding. They immediately understood our taste level and showcased their impeccable assortment solely based off their passion for people and frames while we shared our stories and desire to travel to Maine. We can honestly say that if we return to Portland as visitors or residents (yes, we loved the Old Port that much) we would certainly stop by again and purchase new frames. We feel like they are our friends now. Thank you Trudy & Nina for the warmest welcome. We hope to connect with the both of you again. -Michael & Jantell
