Did you know the VA optometrist still dilates pupils to view the backs of patients' eyeballs? I…read moreknow. It's a neolithic practice that should get tossed in a dumpster fire next to the likes of fax machines and Blackberries. It also happens to be the main reason I sought out Lumen Eye Care as my new go-to for all things optometry. Well, that and....wifey already goes here and vouches for them hard. Recently relocated to the Northeastern boulevard, you may be forgiven if you struggle to find their suite upon first visit. Just look for the giant glasses next to the front door and you'll spot them straight away. Of course, you'll have to park across the street, but that's a minor inconvenience, at worst. I have to admit...first impressions were most pleasant. The office is clean, pristine, and a welcoming scene. Heh! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. Snoogans! XD But seriously folks, the docs here will treat you with the best of care. The initial wait was a bit longer than expected, given the lack of patients at the time. But that can mostly be forgiven, considering how far more advanced their technology is compared to past optometrists I've visited. That's what brought me here in the first place. I find that in my "old" age (and I say that rather dubiously), keeping up with the recommended annual check-ups proves to be most crucial. I've worn readers for a few years now. As such, I want to make sure I'm wearing the appropriate prescription at the time it's needed. Every procedure here is carried out with precision, speed, and professionalism. The "head doc" (as I'll affectionately call her) was unexpectedly warm and kind. Then again, I've likely had my original view of optometrists tainted by my past experiences with military doctors. Yeah...they tend to scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to selecting those personality types. But, I digress. So, perhaps the bar was low going in. Nevertheless, I couldn't be more pleased with Lumen's practices. Enrolling into their database was simple and only required 3 signatures. As I alluded to in the beginning, they accept VA sponsorship; which is a HUGE win in my book! Plus, I really can't say enough good things about their updated equipment. And for those wondering, they use an ophthalmoscope (don't try saying that 3 times fast) to view the insides of your eyeball--as opposed to dilating your pupils so wide you come out looking like Hermey the elf. IYKYK. Now, I can't speak to their prices for eyewear. I'd only caution the average consumer to purchase their glasses online somewhere--especially if you only need readers. IMHO, there is NO reason to purchase glasses likely priced in the triple digits that you'll only need to wear part time anyway. Unless there's a frame set you're just DYING to have, I really don't see the point. Someone should have told that one guy who visited back in May of this year (also, don't buy Ray-Bans?). Inflated prices aside though, I don't think that warrants a one star review against this place. But that's just MY opinion. Anyway, I have to come back here in a few months to check on some...questionable marks in the back of my eyeball. But that's merely a testament to their meticulous nature. Lumen Eye Care is worth 5 VERY relieved, normal sized pupils out of 5.

I ended up getting a bill in the mail weeks after my visit because I am a diabetic. I've never heard of such a thing. An extra $73! This is my second year with focused eye care and the first visit I never got that bill. I called and they said they had to charge me extra because it's "medical" and they waved the first year for me. I have literally never heard of that ever. They did literally nothing, it was a regular checkup. It's not like they did anything special because I'm a diabetic. So, don't go here if you are a diabetic, they'll charge you. Or atleast don't tell them ANY of your medical background when they ask because they'll hold it against you. So bizarre. My husband made an appointment for his annual checkup at this place before I got this bill in the mail...I made him cancel and go somewhere else. Terrible!

Just moved to the area and decided to go with doctor Robillard. As the other post on this…read morePage says, the building and everything in it is severely outdated...early 70's out dated. The patient's chair and the equipment are that ugly 1970's green color. The chairs in the waiting room all had hair and other questionable "stuff" on them. However, the care you receive here will be likely better than anywhere else. I could see that Doctor Robillard only had 7 patients scheduled for the entire day. Most doctors will try to cram 7 in 1 hour which causes you to have high wait times and make you feel rushed. I never felt this wait. The doctor spent so much time explaining all of my questions and come to find out I've had too high of a prescription the past 4 years! He dropped My prescription and it has changed my life...no more headaches or needing to close my eyes every 30 min. I feel he was able to come to this conclusion by not rushing me out the door and he took the time to actually listen to me as his patient...which IS THE CARE WE SHOULD ALL GET AT ANY DOCTORS OFFICE. Sadly it is hard to find doctors like this anymore. Will definitely be going back.
