Our experience was nothing like several of other Yelpers. Our appointment went smoothly, and unless…read morethey screw up getting our order ready on time, we can offer mostly praise and thanks. We managed an appointment within a week of calling -- very rare! -- and were taken to see the doctor with less than five minutes waiting. The exam was carefully done, eyes dilated, and the waiting precess comfortable. When it came time to pick out glasses we had a reasonable choice of affordable frames, though if you have the cash they have some really upscale frames (think Tiffany, Coach, etc.) They didn't push us to buy more, much appreciated, and they helped fit the frame and got us out in not much over an hour. We thought the doctor, the front desk staff and the young woman who fitted us were knowledgeable and helpful. This is not a large operation, but the interior is clean and they have a nice public restroom. Curiously, the outside of the building looks abandoned with grass and shrubs way overgrown. Somebody needs to fix that right away. We initially thought the place was shut down. But -- unless they get our prescription wrong or it is delayed arriving, we'll stick with four stars.

I had some concerns when a doctor years ago told me I was a "glaucoma suspect", and also being pre-diabetic I questioned if my vision could be affected.

I found the optometrist (a female), very through. Ordering glasses is what makes me angry. They charged me $300 for the cheapest pair of glasses ever made. They were bifocal, plus they charged me an extra $20, that I had to pay myself. I don't care for the glasses but what could I do but order a pair online that I could afford. I had to ask these people 4 times to send my prescription by email. They claimed the doctor had to look at it and sign it but I never got it. A couple of months later I tried again. Still they did not send. Called a few days later they sent prescription unsigned saying it was not valid. I'm sure they knew I wanted to order online so no PD number of course. By that time I was aggravated and threatened to let everyone know their practices in my review. They didn't care, they still did not correct this. I guess I WILL have to contact the BBB and a new optometrist.

I don't know what I was expecting, but every process was explained to me. Dr. Lertora was very friendly and thorough. Of course, I needed glasses. I chose from a variety of frames. It took about 2 weeks for them to arrive. I absolutely love them!!! Now I don't think wearing glasses is such a bad thing. Looking forward to collecting frames like I collect shoes.

"And I will sing Waiting for the gift of sound and vision"…read more(David Bowie) One of the side effects of living in your town for almost 40 years is that your doctors eventually retire and you'll need to find a replacement. It happened with my primary care physician (as well as his replacement). It happened to my dentist. And it happened to my eye doctor. So that explains why in December 2015, I became a patient of Solinsky Eye Care when they took over my eye doctor's practice upon his retirement. Solinsky has ten locations across Connecticut, and I visit Dr. Jessica Olewnik at the Avon office. She has been fantastic to work with. She is friendly, personable, and extremely thorough and helpful. Solinsky is very proactive on keeping up with technology and industry advances. Did you have one of those field of vision exams? Just a few years ago, the current technology would have you stick your face into a contraption that reminded me of a submarine captain peering into a periscope, like Sean Connery did in "The Hunt for Red October". Well, that is no longer state of the art. Yesterday I had the same test using a Virtual Reality headset! And I have to mention Solinsky's Front Desk Associate (I'm embarrassed I can't remember her name) who may be the greatest goodwill ambassador I've ever seen in a medical setting. She's been there forever and is a holdover from Solinsky's predecessor.

If I could have dreamt up a better person to have met and worked with, that person would not have been half as good as Tiffany Mathieu.

Went for a basic eye exam with dialated eye exam. Doc did not do the dialated eye exam, and I didn't understand why at the time, he just said I didn't need it. Paid my co-pay and left, thinking I was all set. I now get a bill for $100. Called the office and it ends up instead of doing the dialated exam, which would be covered, Dr. Fitzpatrick took pictures of my retina instead, which is not covered by insurance and is an "extra" procedure. I do not appreciate extra procedures being done with out me knowing especially if they are not covered under insurance. The office assistant said Dr. Fitzpatrick makes it part of the routine eye exam. I have never had to pay more than my copay at the eye doc unless I have been first informed and then been able to make a decision. Seems dishonest to me.
