Went in while I was in town as needed a new prescription to drive better in the area due to…read moredifferent weather than I'm used to. Dr gave new exam and Rx. They were not able to get my glasses or contacts made for w week!!! Guess the point of me going there was mute, since I had a weeks stay. Took Rx to Lens Crafters in Citadel mall nearby and they had the glasses done in a couple hours!! Also I told receptionist I was only in town a short time and to call me AS SOON AS CONTACTS ARRIVED. No one ever called me. I had to call them the last day of my trip, and they said "oh ya, your contacts are here" I was NOT HAPPY. Mediocre service. At best. I'd go somewhere else Went back because my prescription was not correct. Could see better without the glasses/contacts than with. Waited 25 minutes. Someone came in after me, was seen and checked out, all while I waited there. Dr Smith is the worst. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

1. After my eye exam I was given a specific eye test (due to a medication I am taking) by a staff…read moremember. This test took aprox 45-50 min due to the staff member struggling with operating the machine. She said she was "not sure about the machine.". After an hour she still wasn't certain the "machine was working properly". 2.Told me the prescription she had written was good for glasses and contacts. 3.After approx one more hour Dr House told me the prescription written could not be used for both glasses and contacts. He also told me the dosage for a medication I am currently taking was not accurate and he was sending a message to the Dr. Since the eye test and prescription given by the staff member proved to be inaccurate I asked him didn't he think the results could be user error? Regardless Dr House sent the msg anyway. 4.Dr House told me a staff member would call me in one week to let me know my trial pair of contacts were in and I would be scheduled to see him at 1:15 that same day so I would not have to wait (after over 2 hours today) because he wants to have the eye test redone. (Yet, he'd already sent a msg to my doctor? He also wrote me a prescription for glasses and contacts but refused to give me the prescription for contacts because he insisted I come Back to their practice for a trial pair of contacts of which they charge $50 to the patient. 5. I checked out and front office staff said the Dr wants to see me in a year! I told the lady the next appointment he'd told me would be at 1:15 and he would give me the test again that day. 6.A few days later the office manager called to tell me the staff member that assisted me was fired for several different reasons. ??? 7.My appointment was 2/9/26. As of 2/27/26 I have not received any notification about trial contacts or returning for a 1:15 appointment so the eye test could be repeated. 8.This week I saw an ophthalmologist at MUSC who repeated the test and told me other than dry eyes, my eyes are great. No prescription was given due to dry eyes causing vision difficulty. 9.Today I received an insurance notice from PEEBA filed by Eye Center of Charleston for $300+. Also stating the amount billed to insurance was over the limit. 10. This claim filed was for an erroneous test and incomplete appointment as I was refused a contact prescription (which I have received no contact for) as well as the follow up appointment.

I had been to this eye doctor before they changed locations and was assisted by Brooke at the time…read more After they adjusted my contact and glasses order, I was owed a credit of over $500 that I never received. Thankfully, my bank flagged the issue and helped protect me. When I contacted Ocean Eye about it, they directed me to resolve it through my bank rather than addressing it themselves. This experience left me very uneasy, and I won't be returning.

I had my first visit to Ocean Eye at Carnes Crossroads last Friday (1/10/25) and the experience at…read morethe time was ok. I got there on time for my appointment but proceeded to wait at least 10 minutes if not more before I was taken back by a technician for the eye exam portion ($39 out of pocket for the digital exam). The digital exam was quick and easy enough that it took less than 10 minutes. After some brief Q&A with the technician, she then told me that the doctor would be right in. I waited what felt like almost a half an hour (although it was probably about 15-20 minutes) for the doctor to come in and finish. It went ok and Dr. Palmer answered my questions, provided me with my prescription (as I usually get my glasses online) and I left satisfied. It wasn't until I got home that I looked at my prescription and realized that there was no PD (pupillary distance) # listed. Thinking it was just an oversight, I called back today to get it and they said it would be an additional $25 because it's only given when buying glasses from them. Excuse me? Now it may be because I don't go to the eye doctor often, (and charging people extra for the faster more updated eye exam I understand) but you're going to charge an additional $25 just because they choose not to pay for your glasses (frames and lenses) too? If I had known that I would have to pay over $60 just for an exam and a PD number on my prescription I never would've gone there. Now being that I don't go to the eye doctor all the time, that may be a new thing that I just didn't know about but I was very clear from the beginning of my appointment what my intentions were and the technician nor the doctor did not tell me that while I could get a prescription from them it wouldn't include a necessary detail without a additional $25. I might have even paid it if it was $5 or less but I just expected it to be included with the $39 digital eye exam I was already paying extra for. I'm sorry Ocean Eye but this was the first and the last time I will be going to see you. I'll take my business elsewhere if you expect me to pay over $60 for an eye exam and prescription that includes the pupillary distance number needed for accurate eyeglasses.

I explained to front staff,, Katie that my insurance said it was covered; she just kept going back and forth with me answering no. If my insurance tells me one thing and you're telling me another, you should have a better explanation. Also opthalmologist, Dr Coker, insisted on my wearing certain contacts. I have been wearing contacts for many years and find it disturbing that she told me she would rather me wear a certain brand. Maybe they get kickbacks for selling certain brands? I felt like I was being nickle and dimed and being told what to do with my money. FYI- All other reviews appear to be for a different doctor, Dr Bodkin. I was not given an option of doctors.
