I ordered a two pairs of glasses, one for reading, one for everything else. When I was chose them…read morethe male worker told me they'd be about $150 and $250. That sounded like a deal. When I picked them up they were $900+. He'd been talking about the frames NOT the frames and lenses, and without consulting me he had ordered the most expensive lenses. I was shocked. They had a responsibility to make sure I knew the prices, and had many opportunities to tell me. In addition they used the temples from my old glasses for the new pair. I'd left them behind because the bridge was broken and I thought they needed them to help pick out the next pair b/c I wanted the same frame. No one told me this either. I used to like this shop.

This review is a contemporaneous synopsis of my encounters with South River Eye Care…read more My first peripheral encounter with South River Eye Care was when the owner walked into my store (I work in the marine trades) on a boating issue. As I recall from several years ago she was a good customer and I helped her. She gave me her card. My eyeglass prescription has been very stable for decades and I'm careful so glasses last me a LONG time. Recently my arms have gotten shorter *grin* and my ophthalmologist recommended progressive lenses. I figured Transitions would be a good idea as well. Today (a Saturday in April '19) I walked into South River Eye Care in Edgewater MD with my new prescription. My wife was busy and I was out on other errands so I was without adult supervision. *grin* I told the optician who stepped up to help me what I thought I knew and what I thought I wanted. She very patiently helped me with a number of frame options and equally patiently took pictures of me in each for my wife to look at. She wrote all the options down and the front desk staff opened a file for me. So we would not have to start over when I came back. I'm impressed. Without vision insurance the prices are a bit attention getting but I truly feel you get what you pay for here. I expect to be back late in the week to finalize my order. A few days later I stopped by with my choices firm. Very helpful, good fitting, good measurements (Pd), and outstanding treatment. Just nice people. Seven to ten days to my new glasses and a 60 day window to order a backup pair with a steep discount. Out on a business trip when I got the call that my glasses were ready. Today I stopped by to pick them up. Great service again. Recognized and greeted at the desk, well fit, excellent advice for adjusting to my first pair of progressive lenses. I'm wearing them now. *grin* My wife is happy about how I look and I am happy about how I see. We'll be back for her new glasses in a few weeks. I have not had better service and a better product for glasses than from South River Eye Care. Tell 'em Dave on Auspicious sent you.

Needless to say, I was a bit frantic and needed to find a location that would take me right away. I was able to get an appointment for the upcoming Monday which I was absolutely not expecting. I was a bit skeptical due to the location being inside of the town center, however I had no issues parking inside of the garage located closest to Target, and then taking a short walk. The young lady that assisted me with my eye tests was amazing! I always get anxiety prior to the glaucoma examination, however she was super patient with me and made sure I was comfortable before proceeding. Now for Dr. Shields: VERY personable, knowledgeable, patient to say the least. He took his time, explained everything to me from the health of my eye, to making recommendation for Lasik, answering my questions. Overall the customer service is a 10/10 SUPERB

Issue: They tell you in-store what your insurance will cover and the amount you will have to pay out of pocket.

This is the perfect location to get your annual eye doctor appointment in. Pros: They are on time. They use no air puff devices. They have a WIDE selection of designer branded eye frames. They are located right on Main Street (you have to pay for parking -- both garage or street metered). There is so much to so around this location. They take my insurance and always allow me to use the extra 20% discount that my insurance covers but not all eye doctors take. They have eye contact classes for you to learn how to use before you purchase. Cons: It is HOT upstairs. Seriously, could have passed out on Monday--they need a unit! They have additional devices that you can add-on to your annual visit. Such as opts wide field retinal imaging, OCT retina scans, visual field testing, Marco TRS refracting and specialty contacts (if needed).

The website was easy to use to request an appointment, and I was contacted quickly by the office to schedule an appointment. Kelsey was such a sweetheart greeting me when I checked in and helping to do the initial tests when I arrived. Dr. Simoncini was so kind and informative, explaining everything every step of the appointment. He was very encouraging during the exam, and I learned a lot about my eyes that I had never had explained before (what is an Astigmatism, why are "floaters" called that and why do they exist?).

I came in without a mask to pick-up my glasses and Lynn said, " you need to wear a mask here". I refused because I knew the mask mandate had been removed, and proven not to protect against Covid, and also had been struck down in court as being unconstitutional and illegal. She was adamant about me putting on a mask, I again refused. Lynn then stated that " we care about ALL of our customers here". obviously not, because I wasn't included in that statement, I thought I was also a customer. I Guess not because Lynn was very insulting, arrogant and narcissistic about the situation, then tried to berate me and blew it way out of proportion. I thought about never returning to the eye clinic, but I liked the rest of the ladies, especially Tiffany and was overall happy with the rest of the staff there. The eye doctor is amazing or the 3 star rating would be 2. I returned for an eye exam on 10/4/23 and didn't let the fact that Lynn gave me many glaring looks bother me too much. After all I'm better than that, but what really almost set me off was the fact that while I was being fitted for a new pair of glasses, Lynn walked behind me and made a hand gesture like Fk you to me. She thought I didn't see her, but they have the mirrors on the fitting desks and all over the walls. I really wanted to confront her about it, but just let it slide. Quite frankly, "she's not worth it" I said to myself. I even asked the lady at the desk "who owns this business"? Anyway, Lynn shouldn't be working at this place and I won't return with such a childish fool in the position of Practice Administrator. Watch out for this Karen, she's nasty.
