I have been a patient at Morris Eye Group for 8 years and have consistently received the very best in treatment and care! My doctor Tara Viechnicki MD, is excellent in diagnosing, treating and educating the patient. Great suggestions on diet and supplements to positively impact my conditions. They also have a HUGE selection of frames. My colleagues and friends always want to know where I got them! Stephanie McDonald is an exceptional optician - great suggestions, choices and service!! read more

I am very pleased with the Morris Eye Group. They performed a very thorough and detailed exam and explained everything that was going on with my vision and what to expect with the Lasik procedure. The office staff was very professional and very friendly. Dr. Morris is very knowledgeable and really explains things well. I had Lasik eye surgery and it was so much easier than I thought. They walked me through every step they took and advised me of everything I would be seeing, regarding and feeling during the procedure. The recovery was smooth and I am really glad I did it. i would highly recommend this group to anyone who wants a thorough and complete eye exam or Lasik surgery by a very professional office. read more

Morris Eye institute was A+ top to bottom. I took my elderly father there to get evaluated. Everyone was knowledgeable, honest, intelligent, and most of all... caring. When we asked my father about his experience, he only had one word: "Terrific!" A special thanks to Dr. Butler who truly cares about people and their experience from head to toe. read more

I've only been to the Vista office. The staff is friendly and efficient. The exams are very thorough. They beat the big box eye centers by a mile. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Crosby for many years, before she joined the Morris Eye Group. Now I have a great doctor with all the support and services that a comprehensive group can provide. I've seen a lot of negative reviews, and I can only say my experience has been very positive. read more

Everyone at Morris eye group is so wonderful and I highly recommend them. DR. Bodman is so nice and her attention to detail is comforting. Wilma is always a great help in making the right decision with glasses and insurance. read more

Always a Grest experience with my eye care. Friendly staff and doctors. I've been a patient for many years and have referred many family an friends. You'll be happy to know you're in good hands read more

I don't expect to win the I pad however, I want to say I've never had a bad experience at Morris Eye Group. Thanks for your excellent customer service! read more

I have been going here for ten years...the technology is very modern and state of the art, everyone is friendly, the service is good. The only downside is that I have to plan on 2-2.5 hours for an annual exam. Often I don't go on time and end up putting it off because I dread the sheer amount of time it takes to get through the appointment. Having said that, I know it is a thorough and comprehensive exam and I am in the best of hands. Love my Dr, Janie Bodman. She's pretty much awesome so it's worth it. read more

Just wow... Well oiled machine. On my appointment their were a couple people ahead of me. I waited for just a bit and then... boom! An eye exam, eyes dilated and off to see the DR. Super fast.... I think I was in and out in 45 minuets. Very professional and courteous. Thank you! read more

The staff and doctors are so friendly and helpful. We had a good experience and it was my daughter's first experience at the eye doctor.

Everyone I encountered was courteous, friendly and very competent. Wait times were very reasonable and the staff seemed genuinely interested in my vision health. read more

I had my cataract surgery through the Morris Eye Group. Everyone was very welcoming and treated me like an old friend. I am really pleased with the results of my surgery and would recommend Dr Aminlari to all my friends. read more

I had an accident and needed to see an ophthalmologist right away and they squeezed me in. They are very thorough in their exam and I absolutely loved Dr. Crosby. She was down to earth, thorough and knowledgeable. She explained my injury in terms I could understand. Their practice is quite the set up and has an eye glass area as well. The only reason for the 4 star and not 5 star rating was the long wait in between the initial exam by a nurse and then seeing the doctor. But I was squeezed in so understand. read more

Very thorough exam with professional and friendly staff. Dr. Saunders was very impressive and took the time to review all the results as well as teach and educate both myself and my son. It was by far the most detailed exam I have ever had. read more

I love Dr. Bodman and Wilma Yates, my optician! I have been going to them for 12 years. Dr. Bodman is so caring and always makes sure my questions are answered. Wilma always finds the best glasses for me! She has never steered me wrong and I always end up with the cutest glasses! Plus, she always helps me with the insurance process, which is soooo helpful! The only reason they got four stars is because the annual exam is a really long process. I do have to say that they have improved greatly and cut down the wait time significantly! read more

It's June 24 and it's been 1 month since I ordered my new glasses. Twice, they were sent back to the lab, even before I tried them on, due to incorrect prescription. I'm still without glasses. For the amount of time and money... this is a total sham.. It's July 2 and it's the 4th or 5th time my glasses didn't pass inspection. I'm still without glasses for 39 days. read more

The staff was professional and courteous. The doctor was great and clearly explained the outcome of my vision exams. He gave me a very good solution for preventing dry eyes. I liked the way the person in the optical department helped select eyeglass frames for me. She had a good idea of the type of frames I liked in color and style that fit my face. I would have been there for hours trying to find something. The only thing that need is improvement is making sure patients are contacted when their glasses arrive. I had to call after almost a month went by and not hearing from anyone. read more

I love the Doctor I see here, Dr. Michelle Crosby, but I really dislike the amount of time it takes to be seen. The doctor is a 5, the wait time is a 3. read more

Volume-based practice (busy office) but service was surprisingly good. I had a pleasant experience with Dr. Butler who seemed caring and approachable. read more

Thank you for one of the best experiences I have ever had at an eye exam. I have never received to this extent such a wonderful experience. Thank u for helping me to not dread my eye exam any more. U r a wonderful group of people. When I got home my daughter reminded me she need to have her eyes checked, I called and mad an apt for her to come to ur practice. Thank you so very much for helping me not be afraid of this type of exam. read more

I have been a patient of The Morris Eye Group for over 5 years. Easily the best "full service" eye care business I've been to. Today I called them at 10:00 am with a eye problem & they worked me in fast . ( same day ! ). Can't say enough about the staff here either. Everyone I've had the pleasure of dealing with has been professional, friendly & accommodating. read more

I really felt like they know what they are doing. I had a scary visual problem and they were able to determine that the problem wasn't serious. I am grateful. read more

Great experience. Very courteous front office staff. Knowledgeable back office staff. Very professional. Dr. Amilari is the best.

I had to be seen by an eye doctor very soon after telling my primary care physician what I'd been experiencing with my eyes. 3 hours later I had an appointment at the Morris Eye Group. From the time I arrived until the time I left, 2 1/2 hours later, I was treated with kindness and respect. The team worked together to test my eyes in various ways to determine if the situation was critical. Fortunately, all was well. Dr. Bodman told me they now had baselines and would keep a close watch on my eyes. I have an appointment scheduled in 3 weeks and again in 4 months. I would wholeheartedly refer this group! read more

Excellent physicians and knowledgeable staff. Very complete in terms of exams and Eye care. Would recommend If looking for a medical group with broad knowledge, skills Certs and options for optometry read more

After I expressed my concern earlier, the management stepped in and handled the matter very efficiently. They kept me posted with all the status. The quality of the glasses is excellent. Thank you. read more

Very thorough examination. All aspects of eye care were included and I appreciated how both the doctor and the other technicians explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. I will be recommending Morris to all my friends. read more

Dr Katzman was great. He should get 5 stars. The appointment people called a few days before the appointment and told me they were canceling my appointment after I waited 5 weeks. I told them they needed to find some other sucker. Then the skipped the peripheral vision test. Dr Katzman told me to set another appointment. I did, 3 months out. Once again staff earns 1 star. The actual technicians were great. However support staff needs help, lots of help. read more

Excellent in every way! They got me in as quickly as possible when I had a rather urgent need. Very please with the care!

Dr. Michelle Crosby is awesome and she explains everything really well. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of an overbooking problem which resulted in over an hour and a half of delay. read more

I just had my first appt at this eye group, and was impressed with the kind and efficient employees there. It's a very comfortable office, with many employees each taking their part in the process of your eye exam. You will go from room to room, with different parts of the exam done by different people,then meet with the Dr to review your case. If you prefer a more personal type of experience, I don't think this is it. I was curious about the peripheral vision test. I had it previously done at prior office with a machine that randomly flashes a small light for the test, here she held up her fingers to test my vision? Not sure if this works the same read more

I made the mistake of not checking Yelp when I made an appointment here. It was the first doctor to pop up on my insurance website, and apparently I was feeling lazy that day and didn't do any review research. To add to everyone else's comments - this office takes FOREVER. Leave at least 2 hours for your visit. In summary: 1) First person I saw conducted the normal letter reading and "is this one better or is this one better" exam. I had marked on my form that I was pregnant, and so I did not receive the eye drops to have my eyes dilated. After my exam, the guy goes "Ok, just sit out here while the eye drops dilate your eyes"... and I was like, we didn't do that, and he was like, right, we did not. OK.. so.. 2) Besides the fact that I didn't need to wait to dilate, I waited about 20 minutes to next speak to the optician. Nevermind the fact I still haven't seen a doctor. The optician basically ignored me when I explained I had premium insurance that allows for 2 years worth or contacts. Additionally, contacts were more expensive here than buying online anyway. One thing they did not explain to me, is trying a "trial pair" is committing to purchasing them at the office. I was under the impression that a trial is a trial and not a commitment. I ended up going to BBB to get a refund on a deposit I had put down to "try" the lenses. After the optician, I again was directed to wait in a seat. This time, about 30 minutes. 3) Doctor Ashley Butler was AMAZING and gets FIVE STARS. I wish she wasn't at the office because I want to see here again, but I can't imagine giving this practice business again. Dr. Butler spent a good amount of time with me talking about contacts and my prescription, as well as my pregnancy and gestational diabetes, which can impact vision sometimes. I felt very comfortable with her and her assessments of my vision. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Morris Eye Group. read more

We hate, hate, hate this practice. We left once and out of convenience thought give it another shot. I scheduled for an annual eye exam to get my daughter contact renewal prescriptons. The office scheduled her an appointment with Dr. Zenzen, an ophthalmologist. We waited 2 HOURS to see this doctor. (always long wait no matter what time you go) At the end he couldn't even give her a contact prescription because "ophthamologist" can't write contact prescriptons and all the optometrist have left for the day. The worst part is, they coded the visist under "medical". They not only charged me more because of this "medical" visit, I had to deal with insurance because of ineligible amount I paid with my FSA. Needless to say, we've finally learned our lessons and never went back to them for my daugher's contact prescriptions. Still mad to this date of all the bad experiences we had at that office. read more

Just got off the phone with Chris (or Kris). I booked our eye appointments online last week as we have VSP insurance. I get a call today three days before our appointments from Chris telling me I have to have a referral from my health insurance when I have NEVER had to go through this with any other eye group before when booking an appt and having VSP insurance. I was booked for an ophthalmologist for both myself and spouse...because my spouse has glaucoma. My mom has glaucoma as well. He is a 100% disabled vet who is also legally blind and on dialysis. and I need to take him. Chris, who was unsympathetic and rude, could care less what hoops I had to jump through to even book the appts. She insisted I get a vision exam by an optometrist and of course none were available on the day I booked the appt feb 1. Why not have some sort of list of rules on the website before allowing people to book? I work full time, put in for time off never expecting to be hassled like this. Not right plus the attitude of 'i see you and raise you' was NOT APPRECIATED. Do I want my suffering spouse to deal with this right off the bat let alone myself? No. She said I needed the referral from my doc (health insurance...not eye exam insurance which has always been enough!!) before I could see their opthomalogist. Say that on your website out of courtesy to your customers before they book. I hung up on her due to her attitude. read more

I am a first-time client. The exam process went fine, but when I ordered glasses, nothing but problems. The Encinitas office is desperately under-staffed. I ordered glasses with transition lenses. When I picked them up, it was late on a Friday. Over the weekend I realized that my glasses were not turning dark so I took them back on Monday. Oops - they weren't transition lenses. So nobody had checked before dispensing them. Then I was told they would order replacements. I heard nothing for 2 weeks. Every time I called, I got voicemail. It took multiple calls to get anyone to call me back - never a human answering the phone when I called them. I still don't have the right glasses more than a month after ordering them. The replacement lenses weren't right either, but nobody bothered to let me know. I'm still waiting. Very frustrated. Terrible customer service. read more

I made an appointment after 5 years of absence and they still had all of my records. The office is remodeled and they have some new staff but they are all as friendly as I remembered. I didn't think I had insurance so I paid cash. When I was checking out and giving them my new doctor's name one of the girls went further and detected that I did have insurance so I got my money back. I was really happy. I would definitely recommend this office to any of my friends. read more

My husband and I were both very impressed with the level of service we received at this facility. They were very thorough and made appropriate recommendations for our aging eyes and family history. We are 72 and 69 respectively. read more

I was seen in an urgent basis and Dr Butler was at the other office. Dr. Codner saw me and provided excellent care and equally important the information I required to understand what was happening to me. I called for an afternoon appt at 8:00 that morning and I got the appt time I wanted and was seen within 5 minutes of arrival. read more
