See all

A wonderful woman (Amy) works at Pearle Vision Eyecare at 368 South Hamilton Rd, Gahanna, Ohio 43230. When I ordered and placed my new reading glasses, Amy handled everything very quickly and with a smile. I highly recommend her! I previously spent over two hours with the manager at this location, but to no avail. She was cold and indifferent to me as a customer, and I was very disappointed. read more

terrible service and even worse communication. this is this most unprofessional establishment i have ever been too. I went in to get my prescription updated & they charge my medical insurance rather than my vision. I ended up paying more due to the insurance issue. I was originally told they glasses would be ready in 3 weeks. 5 weeks later, I was told that there would be a delay for an additional week in getting my glasses. Upon asking for a refund, the staff was rude and argumentative. i will NEVER be going here again. read more

Ive been going to this location annually for 6 years now. I liked Dr. Wolfe and then he retired. Dr. Rodda replaced him and he is fantastic as well! Now the sales team who do the glasses that is a different story. The folks are pushy and rude. Maybe they haven't heard of inflation but wake up and see reality. After the African American lady did not understand my budget I asked for my prescription to take elsewhere. THEN, she asked why and I wouldn't find a better cost anywhere else and I was wasting my time. Im like ...WHERE is the customer service? HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE read more

Tricare person here. Finding good provider offices that are in-network is so incredibly difficult. After calling multiple offices that I found listed on the Tricare Find a Provider webpage and all of them saying "No, we don't accept Tricare." I called Pearle Vision, which has a clinic inside of it that accepts Tricare. I was able to get an eye check-up and new glasses prescription, but I was unable to get lenses and frames at Pearle Vision. I had to take my glasses rx somewhere else where Tricare would cover but I'm not bothered by that. I paid 39$ for the new fancy photo machine rather than having my eyes dilated which I highly recommend. Everyone was friendly and I was in and out relatively fast. My new rx is on point, really happy with the overall experience. Plus Tricare reimbursed the 39$ I paid at the appointment. Win, win! read more

The main reason I went for an appointment was to get a new set of glasses which I needed as my last pair was broken and that was all I wanted. The doctor went to give me a cataract test and I did not even ask for one. At that point he refused to set me up for a prescription for a new pair of glasses and would not do so until I had surgery on my eyes.. I think that I will file a suit with the FTC for the refusal to give me a prescription for a new set of glasses read more

My Mom and I needed updated exams and new glasses. Dr Wolfe was extremely good with us, and patient as we made decisions about our care. Warren out in the fitting/sales/ordering was a ROCKSTAR!!! He fielded all of our questions, was very patient while we tried on many pairs of glasses even though he probably had to sanitize them all once we left. I highly recommend this Pearle location, we had good experiences with Pearle in the past, and this location did not disappoint! read more

Pearle Vision - My new Vogue frames! - Optometrists Near Me - Gahanna, Ohio

The folks here are life savers!!!! After negligently losing my glasses (two pairs in 6 months!) and running out of contact lenses as well, I called Pearle Optical in Gahanna for an emergency visit and was able to get an appointment the next day (other optometrists couldn't get me in for weeks). I was very reluctant to go to a corporately owned optometrist, but visited this place for the first time yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. This office is at a prime location, and is located within a mile of 270 and is housed in the same shopping plaza as my gym and the local Kroger. I arrived at the office bright and early and was greeted warmly by both the doctor and office staff. After completing new patient paperwork, I was promptly taken back for my exam by the clinical team who was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The doctor here was extremely friendly, professional, and highly skilled at what he does. After he realized I had neither glasses nor contacts at the moment, he was nice enough to give me a free trial pair of contacts to take home. Even better, during my visit the team asked me if I had any concerns about my current contact lens brand-- I mentioned pricing (I was paying about $300 a year for contacts), so they recommended a brand that was only $115 for a years worth. It also came with a $100 rebate, so ended up being only $15 after sending in rebate details. Wow, What a deal!!!!!! The icing on the cake was while ordering my contacts, a staff member was nice enough to go out of her way to check stock and found out that they actually had several pairs of the kind of contacts I needed on hand! Yay!!! Who doesn't enjoy an eye exam with same day glasses/lenses??? Seriously, this was the very first time I've ever visited an eye doctor for an initial exam and walked out with everything I needed, so I was impressed! Since I was without glasses as well, this person also answered my insurance questions and helped me understand what out of pocket costs would be if I wanted to order hardware that day. She explained how my benefits wouldn't cover a new pair of glasses until 12 months after getting contact lenses, helping me to avoid a hefty, unexpected bill. To sum up my experience: I arrived blind as a bat, apprehensive and uncertain about how my appointment would be, but left happy, vision restored, and ecstatic about my experience! read more

All of the staff is very friendly, and they are understanding when answering questions and working with you on personal stuff. Also, Dr. Wolfe is so sweet and kind! I wish any of my other doctors were this great!!! read more

The company that runs this place is called West Point Optical, so Pearle Vision is just a brand, fyi. This review is for the sales floor, not the provider. Warning: be prepared for an extremely pushy, heavy sales pitch to buy the most expensive tier of lens. Know what your benefits cover, if you have benefits. They will push the most expensive options relentlessly! It's obnoxious! They also lock their office for "lunch" while still doing their hard sale. And, when you call after several weeks and ask about your order, they'll tell you it's there, and sorry about that! Really. read more

My husband enjoyed his experience with Dr. Wolfe and the ladies also Heather, Diane and Sarah very pleasant people. I know he will continue to do business with them they also have a very good selection on glasses . read more

Pearle Vision - Optometrists Near Me - Gahanna, Ohio

This is my first visit to Pearle Vision and I am very pleased with the service. I was seen promptly and the staff was pleasant and professional. The doctor was professional and took time to review my eye scans with me and explain what they meant. I did order glasses as my prescription has changed. I will update this review in 2 weeks if there are problems with the glasses but I don't anticipate any issues. read more

While seeing the same eye doctor here may be a bit of a challenge, the staff is always friendly and accommodating. Recently I was in need of a rush visit as I was having an allergic reaction in my eyes related to my contact lenses. I was given an immediate appointment and Dr. Wolfe knew what was needed as soon as I gave my symptoms. While I was concerned it was going to be a major issue he had me in and out with problem resolved (prescription eye drops and switch to daily disposables) with 15 minutes.....not too mention, this was all done as a courtesy check with no charge for the visit. Thumbs up to the whole staff!! read more

They are so wonderful to us, its the only place that we go for our vision needs. Amy is a saint for putting up with my pickiness. Dr Wolfe is kind and helpful. Its clean, well stocked and good selection for our budget. Honestly the best service we have ever gotten. Highly recommended them to anyone that wants new contacts or glasses. To Amy, she is the b read more

Dr Wolfe was great at explaining the changes and going over our scans. Jen, Amanda, and Heather working the front were great! They all helped both my husband and I pick out frames and worked with us to get us the best price coordination with our insurance. Will be back! read more

Not the greatest service, the people were nice but I had to have new lenses made because they misread the doctors crummy writing. I had all of the coatings they offered put on the lenses but it seems the lenses are cheap plastic and scratched very easily. I'm glad I bought the lens replacement plan or I would have been completely out of luck. read more

I absolutely loved the staff at this location. Heather is awesome! So glad she's back! She's totally honest in helping you find the perfect pair of glasses that fits your face. She's extremely knowledgeable of all the products and very friendly. Calls you by name when you're back for your next visit. I highly recommend this location! DB read more

This place is awful! My sunglasses RX was not done correctly. Doesn't appear they were sent back to be fixed right. I demanded a refund and went somewhere else. I'm glad I did, I ended up saving over $200 for the same brand of sunglasses and the particular pair I purchased should have been only $20 cheaper!! The customer service was awful. When my husband and I went in to look at their sunglasses for me they kept trying to push him into buying a pair of non-RX sunglasses because "these are better than what you are wearing". I call BS on that. I'm a sunglasses snob and know good sunglasses when I see them, they weren't any better than the ones he was wearing and they are the same brand! Save your time and your money and go somewhere else! read more

I have used Pearle Vision, Gahanna for two years now and I have been happy each time! Dr. Wolfe is very soft spoken, and kind, and makes you feel comfortable during your exam. He answers all questions, and talked as if he remembered me from a year ago, which I thought was nice given how many patients he probably sees! The other employees are great to work with, and are friendly to talk to. They have a good selection of frames to choose from, and they do not try to persuade you into purchasing contacts after you say no like other eye care centers. Although they do ask, but they leave it alone once you say no. They have additional imaging of your eye that you can opt in for for a small fee, and as a worrisome person I love it because I get to see what the doctor sees and can have peace of mind on the health of my eyes. I will continue to come back for the quality and comfort that Pearle Vision provides! read more

I have gone in a couple of times to this location now. I'm not sure why I chose it as it's pretty far away from my home and work but I went there and now here we are. The first visit was fine - the doctor is very nice and so are the staff. I didn't like being put into PearleVision's own contacts as I don't like my doctor's to have personal biases in their advising but I tried them but didn't buy right away. Glad I didn't. I have now had to go back in twice to get different contacts as I didn't like the ones he was prescribing. The first time, I was told to come back in an hour as they were super busy so I went and did some grocery shopping (minor inconvenience) but the second time I was told I would have to wait 45 minutes because they just decided to take an unplanned family of 5. How is that my problem? Now I have to use up more of my worknight or reschedule. They need to work out their scheduling but the actual people involved are good enough. read more

I went in for the first time yesterday. They are typically appointment only which I didn't realize, but they happened to have a cancellation so I was able to get in right away. Heather was so sweet and friendly, and she told me to feel free to check out their selection of glasses while I was waiting to be taken back for my exam. She's a natural conversationalist, I already felt like I belonged there! Dr. Wolfe was also incredibly friendly. He even showed me the picture of the inside of my eyes, how cool is that?? The whole process - both the eye exam and purchasing my new frames - was smooth, easy to understand, and time efficient. The entire appointment from start to finish was MAYBE 35 minutes. I am very impressed with their customer service and knowledge. read more

I went in for a routine eye exam and to also get new glasses everyone was really nice and helpful, but the optometrist himself didn't not seem to care about what I had to say was going on with my eyes. I don't know if it's because I look young and he thought I didn't know what I was talking about but he kind of brushed off the all of the things I told him. Anyway besides that I had a good experience I got new glasses and they helped me pick them out read more

My husband's eye doctor didn't have an appt open when I wanted to get in so I decided since it was buy 1 get one free on glasses and mine were 11 years old might be time to upgrade. We got there 30 minutes before my appt and browsed for frames so that was done and could save some time after the exam. The older receptionist was nice but got you got the sense she could shuck and jive you if you weren't careful. The Dr. was a fill in for the regular doctor, she was extremely nice. We did the exam and she asked me if I wanted contacts. I said I wasn't a regular wearer might it might be nice for dinners out and such. She said they'd order me a trial pair for which there would be no cost, I could see if I liked them and then if I did, I'd come back in for a fitting and order the real set. Both my husband and I heard this. Our insurance is pure crap right now so we were going to have to pay almost full price. 2 pairs of glasses (one is "free") and I paid $500! The hubby about crapped. We mentioned the trial pair the the receptionist & she said it wasn't written down. I told her what the doctor said & she confirmed it with her and asked for the $70 'fitting' fee. We told her this was a FREE trial pair & the doctor said we wouldn't pay that until I placed a real order. She said okay and to come in in a week. The hubby picked up my glasses/contacts on the way home and she wanted the fee. He AGAIN explained what the doctor said. She said "oops, forgot to order the contacts, they'll be in in about a week." This was after 5pm. Miraculously they appeared at opening Monday morning. She'd had them the whole time. I called back to make an appt so they could give me their mandatory 'refresher' course. We got there and I'll be damned if the woman didn't tell me again to cough up $70. I look at my husband with disgust and he said 'do you want them that bad?' I said 'no way, you can keep them. I'm not paying $70 for a fitting I never even had and for a free pair of contacts the doctor wanted me to try before getting fitted. Denise, you can keep my contacts and you've lost a customer. I'll go to the husband's eye doc next time where he said I'll pay at least half. read more

My husband and I left feeling totally taken advantage of. Ripped off for almost $3,000. Neither of us had ever had an exam so obviously never had glasses. We were both unsure of what exactly we needed. Felt very pressured to choose higher priced frames and choose all the bells and whistles. My level of uncomfort spending this kind of money on glasses was quite obvious but never did the sales woman try to help. This seems like a pure money game. read more

DON'T COME HERE, you're better off going to Walmart. For 2 months 3 phones calls later I kept being told to expect to see a referral and to just wait for a phone call..... I get a phone call from PV... Oh maam you need to come in in order for the doctor to evaluate how your eye reacted to the medicine. NO ONE EVER told me this before! I was strictly under the impression my referral would be calling me to finally get rid of my stye. (this is my first time ever writing a review, that's how mad PV got me)!!!! read more

I ordered my new glasses 1-7-17 I was told I would have then normally in 10 business days well today is the 12th business day I still don't have my glasses I spent over $300.00 you expect to get what you buy when you are told I WILL NOT BE BACK NEXT YEAR read more

I would pass on this location. The doctor was sweet, but staff needs a refresher on customer service. I went back in today, with my glasses in hand, thinking there was something wrong. My last prescription seemed heavy because it had a bifocal portion included, but the doctor offered to leave that off. I was good with that, but didn't realize it would make things that much different. Print was blurry at far distances, so I just put them aside because I thought they were wrong. After a few family emergencies, back to back to back, I called to get them fixed. After sitting down, and actually reading small print, it was fine. I was used to being able to go in the store, and have them on the entire time, for print on packages and prices. With the bifocal not included, it was a whole different ball game. The staff looked at me like I was the biggest moron. No one needs that, after wasting time and gas to come back out to the office. I already felt silly, but I never sat down and tried reading with them. I didn't think they would be that different. Now, I'm just bummed I spent my money here. Next time, I'll try somewhere different. (Family of 4 all with vision needs, that's a lot of money over the years.) read more
