Heading in the first time, I did realize this was a cut-rate eyeglass business, but decided to give…read morethem a try. How bad could it be? They offered a three-year optometry program which seemed like a great deal. Since the first visit, I have given this business every opportunity to provide me any level of customer service. For the past three-years, they have consistently failed. Well. To be clear, the doctors and eye exams were fantastic, really nicely done. The problem with the Durban Pavilion America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses location is the management of the store itself. There are plenty of staff members, but none seem to have any grasp on how the day-to-day operation works, nor do, they understand the customers drive their reason for existence. Over the course of three-years, each time I visited this store, the staff members would walk around in disarray, talk with one another, and become fixated in wonderment as to how to accomplish even the simplest of tasks. As many other reviews have mentioned, you will wait an inordinate amount of time to simply collect your prescription, and pay your bill. And, while doing so, the employees here will do their very best to let you know just how little you mean to them. If the term "Section 8" were an eyeglass store, it would look just like the America's Best at Durban Pavilion. I will gladly go back to paying higher prices to simply get better customer service.

I made a significant payment for eye exam, glasses and contacts. The eye exam was fine, but I had…read moreissues with the glasses and contacts. I went to Trillium 3 times as my glass were so uncomfortable and painful I couldn't even wear them. Every time an adjustment was made a different part of the glasses caused pain. In addition these are progressive glasses and when the adjustments were made they didn't fit on my nose correctly which caused issues - I can only see farsighted. When the last adjustment was made I was rather concerned and asked 'what if I can't wear these'-I was told to check Amazon for some kind of eyeglass gear and if needed to call the manufacturer. Although effort was made to fix my glasses I don't see why I should be searching for something to fix my glasses nor call anyone. I purchased the glasses from Trillium, although you may not be legally liable, I would expect much more than this. Well I got arm guards for the arms of the glasses and it didn't work. Now I have scaley, red soars on the sides of my head and they hurt.

She was engaging, thorough in her examination and took the time to discuss how my vision might change with age and even recommended Ocusoft Hypochlor Gel for my dry skin patch on my eyelid that I get occasionally during allergy season.

I don't appreciate that 14 months ago you did not submit the bill to our insurer and told my wife…read morewe were not covered and I had to pay which I did so my child would get her eyewear. Prior to making this appointment verified our coverage with them but again they did not process it and have stuck me with the burden of filing both claims.

Also, you cannot email a payment so, a la 1985, have to give over the phone or drive there. Then was told by CFEC employee, Eric, in very condensing holier than now voice, that he couldn't deal with me because I "was upset".

We have been going to different eye care places since we moved to Jacksonville 8 years ago. Moving…read moreto St. Johns County from Mandarin, we stumbled on this small yet quaint eye care specialist, Coastal Clear Eye care. Not only were we treated like a VIP but it beats the big 2, Lencrafters and Vision works in care and service. The only drawback is the selection of glasses. However, we were pleased with our new frames that we get every 2 years. In the future, contact lenses might be an option, but I can not put the lenses in my eyeballs. I guess it is a fear of poking myself in the eye. I had one reservation about Coastal Clear Eyecare since my eye prescription changed every year, I could not retain my old prescription for my Rayban sunglasses. I would have to pay an additional charge. They did advertise some sort of special. If you are in the mood for an eyecare lab that is low key and will treat you as a person and not a number run don't walk to Coastal Clear Eyecare. Tell them Jerry sent you!

Yesterday I had a bit of an eye emergency. I've been dealing with a stye since last week and it got…read moreworse over the weekend (it grossed me out). My eye was swollen, my vision started to become blurry, and it was uncomfortable. I called Atlantic Eye Institute to see if they could fit me in for a same day appointment. I was NOT holding out hope, but when I called I was pleasantly surprised they had something open that afternoon. When I arrived I filled out virtual paperwork, and then waited in the lobby until my name was called. I can't remember the nurse I had, but she was pleasant, asked a bunch of questions regarding the state of my eye, did some observations, and then walked me to an open room. Dr. Diaz came in happy as a clam. Greeted me with a nurse. I told her I was sorry that my eye looked disgusting and she smiled and said these are interesting to us. So that made me feel somewhat better. After looking at my eye, she decided to drain the stye, due to the size, the discomfort I was having. It didn't hurt, she prescribed me a steroid antibiotic cream, and made me a follow up appointment and I was on my way. I was happy and grateful they could fit me in on the same day, because I was miserable before I came in.

It turns out the office wasn't taking the insurance fir many months and they failed to notify me. There was no apology, offer to use a different insurance or a call from Dr Barnhorst himself to potentially inform me, as my doctor, that a delay or reschedule until I could switch my insurance after the start of the next year would or would not degrade my cataract further. I wasted time and effort to go ahead with the surgery, including setting up friends schedules to accompany me to and from the procedure itself, time to see my primary as required by Dr Barnhorst as a pre requisite to undergoing the procedure, AND arranging my finances to pay thousands of dollars for Lazer and other non covered services. In my opinion, this was all on them, they offered no upfront apology about the whole ordeal amd blew me off with a master of fact call from their billing department!
