I recently moved to Oceanside and was looking for a new optometrist. I found Morris Eye Group and was able to get an appointment in the Vista office exactly when I needed. This is important because I travel extensively so my schedule is tight. When I arrived at the office the receptionist was very pleasant and welcoming. I completed my new patient paperwork and waited for Dr. Bodeman. Within 15 minutes I was taken by the assistant for my preliminary exam. They were efficient and professional and very friendly. We were through the preliminary exam in 20 minutes. Then I waited to see Dr. Bodeman. In about 30 minutes I was brought to the exam room. The doctor spent a lot more time than I expected getting to know me and my history and finding out about what I wanted for my vision. I had never experienced such in depth care. read more

I've been going to Morris Eye Group for the last 30 years! I trust Dr. Bodman implicitly. She is super thorough, professional, and friendly. Recently I purchased my frames with the optician, Michael. He was really patient with my pickiness and guided me on frames at both the Encinitas and Vista offices. read more

I can say that this is one of the best optomitrists I have ever been to. I drove all the way up from San Diego because they came recommended and I'm glad that I did. I finally now have prescription lenses for my sun glasses. Something that was long overdue! I will definitely be coming back here for all of my eye care needs as everyone I dealt with here was absolutely fantastic. Thank you :-) read more

Great experience here...well organized..and they take the time to answer all of your questions

Friendly staff, was in and out in an hour. Have been going to Morris Eye Group for many years.

I am a senior and have been examined by quite a few eye doctors. I have never walked away feeling as complete as when I left Morris Eye Care. Very thorough. Office staff is friendly, but the doctors and their assistants were professional and skipped nothing to make sure my eyes were good. Thank you! read more

NO- DON'T GO HERE!!!! Yes, I read the yelps-but, they took my new vision insurance so decided to give them a try & take my 2 sons for their annual exam. Dr. Ku was pretty good, but as a business, they are horrible. They want money, money, money. My insurance said no co-pay and no deductible for the exam, but they charged me $130 per kid. A few days later I get my EOB that shows the insurance also paid $130 per kid. So what they do is collect up front what the insurance is supposed to pay & then hope you don't notice you've overpaid. I called them & they claimed they had not been paid by my insurance yet, but clearly my EOB states they have. Who knows how long I'll have to hassle with them to get my $ back. Then the optical department- a whole different story. EXPENSIVE. Yes, they have a great selection of frames, but for a premium price. They charge for everything- thinner more modern lens material- yeah, the stuff costco uses & charges $39 for.......yeah, that's an extra $60 PER LENS, not per pair. Antireflective lens coating (same stuff you get free at Costco), yeah that's another $62.50 PER LENS, on & on & on. .........$ 462.00 later, my son has his glasses built. They come back & they have the most horrible fish-bowl effect from the material being so curved. Their optical girls don't know anything. She should've informed my son that the size of the frames he picked out would increase this fish-bowl effect. Well, we had to figure that out by our own research after the fact. They just want to sell the most expensive glasses to you, that's it. They most likely get a commission. Save yourself the headache, don't go here. Don't think you'll get any better exam than Costco either. They spend just as little time with you. Go to Costco, pay cash & have them dilate your eyes. You'll be better off. The girls that actually check your vision at Morris don't know what the heck they're doing & my son's both said they were rough & mean to them. NO- DON'T GO HERE!!!! read more

Morris Eye Group is totally professional. I have been seeing Dr. Bodman for several years, and she is fantastic.

This is not a place to waste your time or money. I agree with most of the bad reviews. What happened to me seems to be commonplace at this office. I have a medical condition with my eyes that does NOT allow lasik. The staff would repeatedly call and ask if I wanted to schedule this surgery every 4 months or so. They took 5 months and 7 office visits to make my new glasses correctly (Dec. thru May). By then they had already billed my insurance and I was stuck using them and could not try somewhere else. Plus I had to live with non-working glasses during that time. Now I'm trying to get my records moved over to another doctor and they want to charge me over $45 to do so. (processing fees, $0.25 cents per page plus some random additional fees.) I have never written a yelp review before, but felt the need to warn others about this place so they would not have the same experiences. read more

If you want an eye doctor who will waste your time and money, then look no further. Morris Eye Group is for you. If you don't want to waste your time and money, then go somewhere else. Here's what's good about them: 1) they have great equipment for testing the health of your eye balls. 2) if you have a very early morning appointment you may not have to wait too long. Here's what's not good: 1) They make patients wait a long time before being seen. The last time I was in an elderly woman in a wheelchair had been there 2 hours and was still in the waiting room! 2) They ran my entire eye exam with my contacts in. They didn't ask me to take my contacts out or ask if I was wearing any. Therefore, once they finished all of my eye tests they had to do them over without my contact in! What a waste of time! 3) The photos and scans they took of my eyes when I was dilated weren't usable. No one looked at the final result. By the time the optometrist saw the photos I had to go back and get them taken all over again. Again, another waste of time. In addition, they don't even tell you what they are testing, they just shuttle you between machines and rooms while you're dilated and can't see! 4) I told several people that I wanted my near sighted vision to be tested, too. It was; however, they never gave me the results. I was then distracted by having to go back to have my eye balls photographed and scanned again that I forgot to ask. And they didn't proactively tell me. 5) Even though their website allows you to request an appointment, I was told they never check the system and don't monitor online appointment requests! 6) Jasmine, who fits the glasses is terrible at her job. DO NOT USE HER! I needed new glasses. I told her what I liked and didn't like. She brought a stack of glasses that fell under the "don't like" bucket. There were two that were ok, but I didn't love them. I didn't even like them. She told me there were no other options. I made the mistake and said fine and ordered them. It cost $500+. As I was leaving I saw a wall of glasses that she didn't show to me. Not a single one. I tried on several pairs and found some I loved. I asked for Jasmine, but she was already gone. I left a message with her saying I wanted to get a different pair -- one of the ones she didn't show me. I didn't hear back from her. So the next day I called again. Nothing. Finally, two days later she returned my call and said that I had been informed that I couldn't make changes to my order unless I did it by end of business day -- which I DID! She pretty much said too bad. So now because of her incompetency to do her job well I paid $500 for a pair of glasses I hate and am stuck with for two years! I am not happy! read more

The worst. Don't answer phones. Jerked around for weeks. Glasses done wrong twice. Refund on my glasses was supposed to take 7-10 days, two weeks later Im still waiting. The worst customer service in the world. I came here only to see the ophthalmologist, she was awesome, but the optometry side is a joke. Run. Go somewhere else. read more

I am relatively new to the area and was looking for a new eye doctor. I ran across the Morris Eye Group and booked my visit based on their great reviews. What a great full service group. They took great care of me thru the entire process and Dr Morris was very honest and helpful. He found something that he needed another expert to look at and instead of waiting for another appointment, he called the other doctor who came down and looked at my chart. That type of service saved me time in my life, which to me is very valuable. Great group read more

I'm reporting this on behalf of my 95-year-old mother who has been a patient at Morris Eye Group. The staff badly needs improvement in "bedside manners." The examining doctor and optician both were very brusk and not at all sensitive to handling an elderly woman. "Come with me," "Sit here," are hardly warm or friendly. Not returning phone calls is also a deadly sign of poor customer service. She can get that kind of service at Walmart. Examiners and opticians need to do more than answer questions; in the case of a 95-year-old, they need to realize she may not have the state of mind to know what to ask. Therefore they should ask her if she has questions and/or give more details without having to be asked. Morris' office failed her badly on those counts. read more

I have to say, I am very surprised by the negative reviews that Morris Eye Group has received on Yelp. My experience was made fantastic because of one of Optical Retail guys named Jeff. I had simple needs; get my contact lens prescription updated and get glasses. I had to make it tough by going out town for 14 days after my initial appointment and purchasing glasses that look just like the ones I already have (decided to exchange them) and also trying to minimize my drive from downtown to Encinitas. Now that you think I am a complete blonde, I want to share with you how amazing Jeff was. He really went above and beyond with his service. He is very pleasant, offered numerous solutions to my annoying circumstance and had a fantastic warmth with every interaction we had. Jeff was patient and kind. I would suggest asking for him if you go to Morris Eye Group. Thanks Jeff! read more

I decided to use Dr. Morris for my Lasik surgery. They offered convenient early evening appointments for my pre-surgery consultations. They very clearly and effectively explained every step of the process, from pre- to post-surgery requirements. They did the surgery (both eyes) for a flat fee, then offered next day, 1-week, and 1-month post-op visits. I was somewhere on the order of 20-400 prior to my surgery, with astigmatism. The next day I was 20-15, and one week later I was 20-10. The staff is great and Dr. Morris is a great guy and an excellent surgeon. The whole process from first consultation through the follow-up visits could not have been any better. read more

Just leaving and highly dissapointed from previous visits a couple years ago when dr Goldman was present. I have used this group for myself in the past and been satisfied however this time for my 9 year old son something was missing, a lack of explanations and professionalism were the ever present factors. Highly dissapointed in whatever changes have taken place over last 2 years. We will be eased somewhere else for our vision check ups from now on. read more

Excellent care, from the moment you walk through the doors. Check in, initial vision exam, exam and consul with physician is seamless. Dr. Viechnichi takes her time with you, explanations are thorough and clearly defined with a plan. She made the entire experience a pleasant one. Definitely recommend Morris Eye Group, for all of your vision care needs. read more

So sad to say that they overcharged- had incorrect info on my insurance and I refused to pay their eyeglass prices. My insurance covers one pair a year and they wanted to charge me additional $400 for the same glasses that the year before cost $100 out of pocket? My insurance did not change and I did not have a significant change in Rx. I took my prescription to eyebuydirect.com and love my new progressive transition glasses! Good luck! I apologize to the friends I referred. Dr Morris treated my family for years prior but this last visit was disturbing. read more

Visiting an ophthalmologist because my optometrist suggested I was beginning to get cataracts. Staff was friendly and efficient. Handed off to 3 different techs for different work ups (kind of like assembly line medicine). After the work up, I spent some time with Dr. Zenzen, where we reviewed my results and determined I did not need surgery. Total visit took almost 2 hours; it was thorough yet efficient. Overall a good experience; I would use their services again. read more

Totally got to agree with the other reviews the wait is endless and I had the same experience in that they put you in front of a TV with magazines and you gradually can't read anything!! What I most irritated about is that they have now asked me to come back 3 Times!! One for the exam, then the MD visit + tests and now to "discuss" the test results. What do they think I have nothing else to do? Also it costs me a co-pay each time. Going to find someone else as this is just a RIP OFF!! read more

What a horrible experience! I made an appt to take my elderly mother to Dr Morris based on a friends referral. We were the only ones in the waiting room and sat after checking in for over an hour! When I told the front desk lady that we had an appt and had been waiting for ONE hour she actually had the nerve to say she didn't realize we hadn't been seen and that WE should have reminded them. HUH? Really? Exam part was so so. Dr seemed in a hurry. No personality or apology for the poor office management. Opticians were so rude I ended up asking for Moms R x so we could purchase glasses elsewhere. Will NEVER go back. read more

This office took of our family last year and this year they have lost our business. Our appointment was delayed by over 90min and it was explained that it would be just a few more minutes... It was examined that they were just running late. I also never saw the optomologist but my insurance was billed as if I had. I am gonna follow this up with my insurance to see if this legal or not... read more

That was the worst doctor's visit I ever had. I had to go through 2 1/2 hours of sales pitches. They wanted to sell me the eye pressure measurement and even after I said that I don't want it they started to tell me that they will do it anyway. I had to mention that if anyone wants to force me into doing it, he needs to be better in Martial Arts than I do. At the end they tried to force me into coming back and doing it then ... I feel like I spend 2 1/2 hours fighting against three people who want to upsell me on exams, bifocal lenses, contact lenses and other things I do not need. In-between the sales pitches I was forced to wait for most of the time and watch cooking shows on TV. The behavior patterns here are insulting to any human being and I would recommend preparing yourself to call the police as soon as they try to harm you. read more

This was my first visit and everyone was very nice and helpful. I was very impressed. Dr. Crosby took the time to explain everything to me and answered all of my questions. I did not feel rushed at all. I would definitely recommend this office. Chris C. read more

The service provided by all of the staff at Morris Eye Group is outstanding! I worked specifically with Jeff, who helped me pick out the perfect frame, made it easy to swap out a pair that were uncomfortable and was very personable and friendly! I would recommend all of my family and friends here! read more

Front desk and check in was fine, Waiting for the Dr. to examine me after my eye test with my eyes dilated was frustrating. Waited for one hour after my eye test to see the Dr. and she didn't even say "sorry you had to wait so long" A sorry would have gone a long way. Appointment was at 11:30, didn't leave until 1:30. Will not return. read more

Morris eye group is the best. They did my cataract surgery a few years ago. I can see great. Have been going to them ever since.

Knowledgeable and efficient ODs. Dr. Volk and Dr. Codner are thorough when addressing health-related questions.

poor customer service. Left a message for medical recordsand didn't get a call back.

Friendly and helpful staff. I was there for a check up and was taken good care of. Questions got answered and explained in detail. Recommend them to anyone. read more

My husband and I have been going to Morris Eye Group for 3 years. We have both had multiple surgeries and vision challenges. Seen 3 different doctors, based upon the problem we are/were having. Each doctor has been outstanding. Took us years to find the right professional to keep us seeing. Plan on staying with them for the duration read more

Went in to have an eye exam and start a relationship with a local eye doctor. Was pleased with Dr Crosby but felt I was up-sold on my lenses. Between the exams and before seeing the doctor, I was lead to the optometry area "now to order your new glasses". I had existing frames, didn't want new ones, $219 for lenses only! The next day I requested to cancel my new lens order, didn't feel good about the transaction, didn't want tinted lens which were highly recommended and wanted to pick up my original frames, untouched. I was told that it can't be done, frames have been sent to lab, no refunds ever! I immediately filed a merchant dispute with my bank. Didn't even receive a new script to take to another optometrist. The worst customer interaction I have ever encountered! read more

I have given Morris Eye Group many chances but this is the last one. I have to agree with everyone about the wait time...way too long. I have worked in Optometrists and Opthalmologists offices before and never had our patients wait so long! Getting glasses there is a rip off...they try to get you to pay out of pockets costs without you realizing it. I was also told I need vitamins and a couple of test (again extra fee's not covered by insurance!). Lot of up selling done here. I will be getting my glasses elsewhere and will start looking for another eye doctor! read more

They called me to schedule an appointment. Even though they were disorganized and unprofessional on the phone, I booked anyway since I really needed my exam. When I showed up, they said I wasn't on the schedule. Now I'm delayed and have to rebook with another eye doctor. i'm never going here again. read more

OMG! 1 hour wait for my eye appt. told the girl at the desk and was told this is why they tell you to plan on 2 hours for an appt! Part of the two hour appt is the wait time! So Dr Morris' time is worth more than mine? I Have been coming here for years and shame on me for taking this treatment. Not coming back! This place is a cattle call Disgusting. Someone forgot to tell us one of us must drive home due to dialating the eyes. So after all this, i will not get my eyes checked! My husband has his eyes dialaed! Really? read more

My family have been going here for years. Today was one of the worst experiences. They have 3 steps to their exam. The technician does all the prescription exam, then you see a optician for the glasses or contacts. Then the doc does the final eye exam. After my daughter and I finished meeting with the optician, we waited on the couch for 45 mins. I sat there watching people that came after us go ahead of us. Usually, I would just wait it out, but today was busy day with a relative in the hospital. It made me angry. I spoke up at the office. I know that if I hadn't said something, we would still be waiting now. I don't know how they take files, but they do not care about order. It was ridiculous. I've not gotten glasses here for a while now due to the high markups. This time I brought my own glasses and had the prescription filled. I have VSP insurance which covers the lenses. I was charged $115. I asked to see an itemized receipt and they declined. I then asked the doc about it and she said she doesn't one and that I can get it when I pick up my glasses. Every place I've gone have given me the cost of each add on to my lens except here. tell me how ethical this place is. The only reason my daughter and husband goes here is that my husband likes Dr. Bodman. I will admit, she is a nice lady. But the office is not right in so many ways. read more

Worst experience for eye glasses ever! Both my husband & I had our eyes checked and ordered new frames and lenses for our prescription glasses. His hinge arms froze up on the new Oakley Sunglasses we purchased. He went back and they ordered another frame and after two weeks when he went to pick up, they said they couldn't use the new frames for his prescription and he had to pick out a different frame. He went elsewhere and got the frame he wanted with no problem. My glasses ordered 2 years ago and one of the lenses has popped out 4 times. I've had to bring them back to Morris ever time to get lens put back into frame properly. Today they tell me the frames are fatigued and because they have slight wrap around, they're not really ideal for my presciption. Really??? They sold these to me two years ago and had no problem taking my money then. They've lost our business for both eye exams and frames. Totally unprofessional and by far the worst service & selection. Lens crafters would probably provide better service and expertise. read more

After 1 hour 20 minutes, 10 with a tech, 3 with the doctor, I'm finally leaving. Literally this check up should have taken 20 minutes. This place is the worst. read more

I would have given MINUS stars if it were possible! This place royally SUCKS and the wait times are comical, they are so ridiculous! 1.5 hour wait after securing an appointment they gave me two weeks ahead of time. That is the case EVERY TIME I've been in there. My husband also experienced the same thing twice! We are going elsewhere but I just had to rant on here first so you don't get sucked in! The other office in Oceanside is JUST AS BAD so don't think its a location thing. It's a whole office group thing. They need to get their act together. read more

My first time in and I was impressed by the Technicians. Abe was super thorough even while training another employee. Dr. Morris seems very knowledgeable and I am certain he will correct my vision. I'm stoked that there is a place like this! read more
