The dr was great. The person who checked me in and made me get authorization for the visit was the…read morerudest person I ever have had the privilege to meet. She padded my order with options (all the options) I did not need or want without my knowledge or consent. I figured out the transition thing by accident. I asked "transition glasses? Like they are sunglasses outside and change back to regular glasses inside?" I only realized it because the dude helping a young couple described transition lenses and I asked for a certain type of lens right before that and the woman who was making my order told me I couldn't have transition glasses with that request. I don't know why, but I was thinking she meant the bifocals. That "catch" brought down my cost from around $1,000 dollars to about $450. When I got home and saw my receipt, I realized there were so many more things added to my order that I couldn't and wouldn't have allowed. I will NEVER GO BACK! Not even for adjustments. The same person who was rude in the first visit was the same individual who "helped" me when I picked up my order. I asked her to tighten up one pair of glasses and she looked at me like I was REALLY putting her out. She did warm and bend them and didn't care if they fit or not. I just left. 100% would NOT recommend! It's too bad too for them. Both my mother in law and father in law are due for new glasses and the insurance has changed. So, they could have been customers. I will be searching for a better option for them. They are 91 & 86 years old. My mother in law took out her tablet and checked the on-line reviews AFTER I went there. And she said that the reviews were horrendous. My husband went there first. It's why I went there. He is neurodivergent; so, he isn't always aware of how he is being treated by others. And he doesn't care. I have raised neurodivergent children and my husband and I have been married for almost 31 years. I wanted to give the staff grace. I did. She's not neurodivergent, she's just rude and/or hates her job. While I was looking for my frames, the male front desk worker read a review out loud. Everyone without hearing issues could clearly hear the review. It was so bad that I should have run out of the store and gotten my glasses elsewhere. Please don't go there. And read the reviews of other providers. They seem to be accurate in this case.

I had one eye that was very reactive (blinking) during the tests and contact fitting, and staff allowed me plenty of time to adjust and retry. Selection of frames was good. Haven't gotten my new glasses yet, but felt as if the reviews on here were negative compared to the treatment I received. Fair warning, getting into the parking lot is a pain, but that's more the fault of the state route.

I called Chattanooga Vision Center to make an appointment to have my eyes looked at. The person who answered the phone seemed happy to set me up with an appointment and asked me a few questions.... one of the questions was "have I ever had cataract surgery." I told her that I have had "lens replacement surgery to repair my vision about 7 years ago." She said that is considered 'cataract surgery' and that will NOT see patients who have had that surgery. I explained to her that my eyes were very inflammed and not due to my prior surgery and I needed to be examined and possibly medicated. She again said they cannot see me due to my prior surgery. I told her that I had the surgery done in a another state and it's not as though their doctors would be stepping on anybody's toes by seeing me. She explained that it had nothing to do with stepping on toes, the fact is that the doctors at this location refuse to see patients who have had cataract surgery. So..... be forewarned, if you have had cataract surgery, don't waste your time trying to get in to see these doctors for any reason whatsoever. They obviously don't feel secure in their doctor duties to deal with anyone who has had cataract surgery and will flat out refuse to see you. I've lived in five different states and have never run into this issue before, but obviously they know their weaknesses and maybe it's for the best that they didn't allow me to come in. I don't need anyone inexperienced to mess up my eyes.

This place is one of the few to actually be thorough and prepared for their clients. They had all the information I had submitted in advance via their online forms. This is something most places fail at. The people, from start to finish, were absolutely wonderful. They are knowledgeable, professional, kind, and fun (yes, fun!) to visit with. They make sure all your questions are answered and you leave happy with every aspect of you visit. In addition to the wonderful people, there is also their wide variety of glasses to choose from. I was able to select three pairs of glasses--two of which were designer--with an array of lenses features (blue light, scratch guard, etc) for under $650 without vision insurance. This is great considering the last pair (just one pair) of designer glasses I had purchased elsewhere were over $550 and had issues. The location is clean, pleasant, and easily accessible. This is definitely a location I felt very comfortable visiting. I have walked into other locations and not gotten the most welcoming feeling but the Hixson location is a rather different story altogether. Definitely my new go-to place and location for all my glasses and contacts.
