Shah agreed to the price of $90 to replace my defective ones. I get a call 2 weeks later to let me know that my glasses were ready to be picked up and that I had a balance of $200. Her receptionist (probably the 4th I've known to work there since I've seen her) said the doctor won't come to the phone to further discuss this discrepancy. Only after I started posting bad reviews did she call to say she'd give me the frame and with a much cheaper lens for $99.99. I won't give her one more cent of my money. Don't bother with this place. Go to another place the stands behind the products they sell and that hold some degree of professionalism. Her frame selection is awful too, so don't waste your time. I should have ran out of there the minute I walked in. It never felt right and now I know why. Whatever you do, get it in writing because the people there keep switching and Shah won't keep her word.

Have you ever wondered why the protective coating on your prescription glasses will start to crack,…read morelook scratched, or fade in certain areas? I brought this problem to two different eye doctors, who all swore that it's some defect with the lens and that the lens I buy from THEM wouldn't do it. Yeah right... So when I walked into More Eyecare and mentioned this problem, Irving had an answer for me right away.* The customer service here was above and beyond amazing. Irving was the one who walked me around and this guy is SO willing to take the time to discuss frames and lenses and anything else about eyes with you. He really knows his stuff and is happy to make recommendations and keep things within a certain price range. So... I walked in thinking of only ordering a pair of lenses for my current frame. I walked out having bought the lens PLUS three pairs of sunglasses.** Although I was fine with the prior shape of my lens (I have a frameless, so the shape can differ), Irving went out of his way to suggest frames that will better job of complementing my face. He even went so far as to cut a sample pair of lens for me at half prescription so that I could see how it looked. Of course, this new shape looked better, and I was thrilled with it. Once we were set on the shape, hubby and I headed to the nearby mall while Irving went to cut the real lens. They then spent almost an hour helping me adjust the fit and bend of my glasses. As for the decor - It's not a huge store, but there are plenty of chairs, and a large comfy leather sofa in the middle of the room. There are two back rooms, both with sinks and a small tray of contact lens fluid and free contact lens containers for if you need to take them out, rinse them, or anything else. When I started to use the already opened contact lens cleaning fluid (which was close to empty), Irving said I didn't need to use that one and then he gave me a new unopened box of contact cleaning fluid that I could use there and then take home. The store has been quite busy on the weekends that I've been there, but no customer service is ever sacrificed. Chung, who is the owner of the store also works there and he's a bit more quiet and doesn't talk as much, but he knows his stuff just as well. This place is not open on Sundays, but there is another More Eyecare in Ridgewood*** that is open on Sundays. I've seen lots of people just walk in and ask to have some small aspect of their glasses/sunglasses fixed. I don't believe that each pair was bought from this store, but it doesn't matter to Irving and Chung. They are happy to help and are great at building a relationship with their customers and any potential customers that walk into the store. Lastly - Irving sold me on this new type of protective coating for my glasses that is dust and fingerprint resistant. I was hesitant because it costs about $75 more, but it was SO worth it! less cleaning, less smudges, I can touch my lens w/ my finger and not get prints. AMAZING. Also, if you have some discounts with your insurance, the price difference drops a bit too. 2 year warranty on the coating so if anything happens**** I can just bring it back to More Eyecare and they'll make me a new pair of lens. With this kind of customer service, I don't doubt that the procedure will be a breeze, should it be necessary. Lastly - depending on what you get and how many things you buy, there may be some room for negotiation on some of the prices. Not guaranteeing anything, but, yeah... you should definitely visit this store. ------------------------------------------------- * You'll have to visit his store to get the answer***** ** In my defense, one of the pairs of sunglasses was for my husband, and the other was a specialized clip-on for my prescription glasses. *** I think it's Ridgewood NJ ... Google Maps says the place exists, so that's good. **** See ***** below for the possible things that could "happen" to cause problems with the coating on the lens. ***** Just kidding - the reason the coating cracks or scratches is because you can't run the glasses under hot water to wash them. It must always be cold and must be cleaned w/ a nice paper towel thingy. Don't use the soft cloths they give you with your glasses for dust. Only use those for finger prints or smudges because the dust will collect in the cloth and cause scratching the next time it's used.

If I could give Dr. Graves negative stars, I would. She is the most rude, out of line, and…read moreunprofessional doctor I have ever had the unfortunate experience meeting with. It comes to no surprise that the other Google Review is a 1 star with a similar complaint. I went to my annual eye doctor appointment for a new contact prescription, as I've been doing since I was 8 years old. Unfortunately, the doctor I normally see did not have any appointments available and I had just run out of contacts. So, I opted for a virtual appointment, considering I don't have any issues with my eyes, aside from needing more contacts for the next year. I can assure you after my experience meeting virtually with Dr. Graves, I will never choose to see a virtual doctor again. The wonderful technician at my doctor's office did all of the imaging necessary for Dr. Graves to review in order to give me my new script for the year. But instead of doing so, she immediately diagnosed me with diabetes that she felt had been undiagnosed for "several years." Let me be very clear in saying, I am a healthy 31 year old woman, who is currently 6 months pregnant. I've had more blood workups in the last 4 years having my children and annual physicals. I am not naive to the fact that I could have gestational diabetes, but to say I have untreated diabetes and retinal bleeding was extremely aggressive and inappropriate. Needless to say, I became upset and actually walked out of the appointment due to her horrible bedside manner. Thankfully, the office rescheduled me to see the in-house doctor, who is AMAZING. They squeezed me in to their already full schedule just so the doctor could meet with me to review the images. She assured me there is NO EVIDENCE of retinal bleeding and I have nothing but healthy blood vessels in both eyes. She also let me know that 1. eye doctor's should never be the doctor to diagnose diabetes, nor should they even mutter the words before gaining an extensive amount of background knowledge on the patient's medical history. She told me there could be a multitude of reasons to see retinal bleeding, in particular, taking a few Advil right before imaging is done. Dr. Graves should be ashamed of herself for treating patients this way. She knows nothing about me and my medical history. She had no knowledge of my current pregnancy, yet still decided to open our appointment by telling me I had undiagnosed diabetes. Please, for the love of God, do not make an appointment with this woman. I rest my case.

After speaking with my insurance and providing the billing code for the procedure, I was told it was indeed covered and given the exact billing instructions. When I called back to discuss this with a male employee, he became hostile and insulting, insisting that the procedure was not covered and stating, "I don't care what you think about the insurance," before hanging up on me. It seems they prefer to avoid submitting the test to the insurer and get paid directly. This is a total rip-off. Stay away from this office. They are only interested in ripping you off and taking your money, basically stealing. My insurance even warned me never to pay them out-of-pocket.

That was the tip of the iceberg but that example says everything. The lack of awareness and sensitivity was appalling. My sister left in tears. On top of that, the staff promised to call back from a surgical coordinator that never happened. I am sure many people who rave about this practice are fully-sighted people who develop temporary and reparable conditions, but to treat a blind person with such callous disregard turns my stomach.
