At first I was cautious because they don't answer their phone when I called to get an exam. They…read morecalled me back and I scheduled an exam anyway. The exam was through and I went elsewhere to get my glasses made. When I got my glasses I could not see out of them the clerk said that's because they are single vision but I wear a progressive. Not sure why it's not in the prescription that's is the only reason I need glasses is to read. I spent like $98.00 on an exam and I'm out $600.00 in 2 pairs of glasses that I cannot use. Its Friday 5-29-23 I have called multiple times but they don't answer the phone. So I went to Midwest on central in person. The front desk receptionist said they could not get I contact with the doctor but I could come in on Tuesday. I kinda need glasses now. I also said I've been calling but you guys don't answer the phone. She said she noticed the phone is not ringing, what a dummy. Do you think that's why business is slow? Incompetent staff, won't answer their phone or get it fixed, poor customer service, I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

I was able to conveniently make an appointment online with Dr. Elizabeth Newman. I arrived for my appointment and checked in with the friendly receptionist. I waited just a few minutes before I was called back, and a technician had me undergo a series of tests. The most interesting one was a machine that takes a picture of the back of your eye, including the blood vessels. Pretty cool! I was then taken to an exam room where I awaited Dr. Newman. She came in shortly and had me complete a few more tests,explaining what she was looking for as well as the results. I really enjoyed her manner: calm, thorough and professional yet extremely friendly. Fortunately, my vision was better than I had expected and I was then taken to the optical department to pick out a set of readglasses. The technician explained to me there was a promo which included certain frames which were discounted together with the eye exam. I was paying cash for this visit, so that was certainly welcome surprise. She helped me choose a fun style that complemented my hair and face. I was quite impressed by the value of the bundle! She was also kind enough to offer to send the finished glasses to a My Eyedr. office very close to my home so I could pick up and get them adjusted there. All in all, I had excellent service here and at a great value. Highly recommend Dr. Newman's services and this location.

I got the scratch resistant coating on my lenses, but within a couple of months they had several scratches on them even though I was careful with them & only used a lens cleaning cloth. When I went in to inquire about getting the scratches fixed since I'd purchased the special coating, the woman told me rather curtly that they don't fix them, but order new ones & that would cost me $40. She seemed like she had no time to deal with me although I was the only one in the store. I also told them twice that I was not satisfied with my frames because they did not fit on my nose properly & was offered no solution in order to fix that problem either. They told me I would "get used to them" -- I assured them I was used to them, they didn't fit properly. Both times that I went into the office to ask for help, an officer worker named Angie was rude to me & failed to be the least bit attentive or helpful. I then called & spoke with John & although he was a little nicer, he was not helpful either. So now I have expensive glasses that I don't like, that don't fit well, & that are scratched. I will not return & cannot recommend Columbus Optical, unfortunately. I hate my ill-fitting, scratched glasses & the customer service is just awful.

No notice of his retirement to come in and get your records. Just a letter to the editor reliving his history and the next day he disappears. Took the records with him. Now as someone with an eye disease I have to start all over. I went in to discuss and after a few minutes dancing around I was told that it sure is a bummer. More like unethical. I don't care how many decades they have been in business that is some of the poorest service I've received anywhere.
