    It's the people. I recently visited Blink for an exam and ended up buying a pair of glasses and…read morecontacts. The doctor was amazing and helped make me aware of the miracle that is multi-focal contacts. For a long time I've been unable to have a full range of vision with previous contacts, so this was very welcome information. He took the time to patiently explain how it worked and answered all my questions. I purchased a pair of frames they had from a local area business, Shwood, who has a great selection of natural looking, wood frames. I paid and began my standard two week wait for the glasses. Then things took a turn. I learned that the high index lenses I bought would be indefinitely delayed and they tried to help by suggesting a slightly different product that would even be less expensive. I ended up learning that even those would not be done in time for a very important out of town trip and I began to get very frustrated and voiced my frustration with the staff who called. Even though my frustration showed through, the staff stayed calm and professional, and tried to do what they could to mitigate the impact and explained the delay was due to a wide-spread supply issue. I realized it had something to do with the shipping bottleneck that has been in the news recently (Hormuz) and it really was out of their hands. I could tell they tried everything they could to still meet the initial deadline. It's not how I wanted things to go, and it would have been great if I received my order on time. But that's just how things go sometimes. Upon reflection, the important thing to me was the people you had at your side when things DID go wrong. And I found that they were as professional, courteous and conciliatory as you would want in that situation. They really wanted to do what they could to help. So even though the experience didn't turn out perfect, I feel it was 'the people' who wanted to do what they could in an imperfect situation that makes a place worth your patronage. I hope if you give them a try, you'll find the same. Thanks!

    No "five star review" from me. And I'll never go back. The selection is pretty good (but let's…read moreface it, if you find frames you like, just go online to buy them a lot cheaper). The service is civil and they take time when it's clear you're going to be dropping serious money. But, after dropping over 400 dollars on lenses (I brought my own frames to them, but read on about that) and I asked for a box to put my new glasses in, they said "Ten dollars". Really? After all the dough I just spent? It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I probably won't go back because of that petty gesture. Ironically, the frames were purchased FROM THEM two years earlier for a few hundred bucks. Not a good way to end what was a good experience. There are too many other choices in town. Good bye, Blink. You lost me.

    10/10 would recommend shopping at this location! My husband was looking for a particular pair of…read moresunglasses and he's been thinking about them since last Christmas, so I convinced him to try them on as we were visiting Portland from the Bay Area. The store was fully stocked! He was able to try on the raybans he wanted. He couldn't decide between polarized and transitional, so we went to lunch and came back. The store associates were super nice and let him try the transitional outside. I didn't catch the name of the store associate that was recommending restaurants, but Tristan (his last day at this store) was the one helping my husband. I want to say the other store associate must be a manager. He knew every single style available. I wished I got his name, so that he can also get kudos. Anyway, there's a deal for 50% off a 2nd pair. Since my husband didn't need a 2nd pair, he told me to pick out something. I've always worn Aviators. The manager picked out the best pair of Gucci sunglasses that I would not have picked out for myself. Ever. We're both so happy with our purchases. So highly recommend this particular store! The employees were super knowledgeable and no pressure to buy at all. Update: we went back to the store to find out the 2nd associate's name and he was the store manager!! David is AMAZING!!! The entire staff is great!

Visage has a cool selection of frames-- but go somewhere else to have the lenses made-- their lab sucks. I've had great lenses made with ABC Vision and Eyes On Broadway. I want to say ABC in Hillsdale was the best Rx and lens ever. Eyes on B'way did honor a warranty, though, when the coating didn't last. But eh, the coating should last. I went to Visage because they had the frames I wanted. I had a decent eye exam there, picked out my frames, and was told it would be 2 weeks to make the lenses. It was a pretty typical experience. I came in on a Saturday to pickup, and man, something was WRONG with one of my lenses. Really off. I have a very light distance correction, progressive, prism. Nothing terribly complicated. I was told that "no one" was there to examine the lenses on the weekend, so I had to leave them there and I would be getting a call on Monday. No one calls Monday. Tuesday morning, still nothing. I called midday Tuesday, and yep, the Rx is wrong on one of my lenses. They now have to send the frame back to the lab for a new lens to be ground. They will call me in about a week, I'm told, and I should come in during the week if I want someone to verify they're correct. They close at 6. I really hate when businesses screw up, and really do the bare minimum to make it right. How about-- You have someone at Visage verify that the lab made the lenses correctly, especially now that I've already wasted one trip out there for faulty lenses? How about you staff an optician on Saturdays, so clients can have their problems addressed while they're in the office? How about you address problems with a sense of urgency, and not wait for the patient to call a few days later? And when you can't do any of those things, how about you at least offer a discount for the inconvenience?

    My family has been a client of this optometry for about 3 years. The experience has always been…read moregreat: eye exams were quick and informative, front desk employees were always helpful and attentive. However this year's annual visit was anything but. It may be due to the change of ownership (I believe it happened either late last year or this year), but my experience with the front desk employee (Sam) was not great. Per usual, the exam was quick, the new doctor was nice and informative, and the other front desk employee (male with glasses) was extremely attentive and helpful. The issue came about a few days after my exam when I decided to use my annual frame allowance for sunglasses (I've had LASIK correction for a few years now). I called the office, Sam answered and I explained what I wanted to do - I've been utilizing this allowance for years. Sam looked up my insurance and asked if it was for prescription glasses. I said, "no, non-prescription". She then quickly told me that I couldn't use my insurance allowance for that purpose. I asked if the insurance had changed in the last year because I've been doing this for years. She said no, it's always been like that and that there's nothing they could do. After letting her know to double check the clauses of the allowance, she checked and noticed that clients with lasik procedures are allowed to use their insurance for sunglasses. She didn't apologize for initially providing me with incorrect information, she just went on and asked what frames I wanted. I told her the model and she noted they don't carry those. I thought I had gotten the same brand from them the year before and said "but I got them last year from you". Quicker than lighting she had already pulled up my prior orders to correct me: no I had not ordered that brand with them! She seemed annoyed that I was even asking. She proceeded to tell me that if I wanted that brand I would have to go elsewhere and referred me to a competitor. She didn't give me options to go online and use a prescription to order them myself, or anything else. I asked for my prescriptions (mine and my husband's) and headed to their competitor. Blessing in disguise - the front desk employee at this new place was a delight, the optician helped us get the sunglasses we needed without much hassle and we proceeded to schedule our 2026 annual eye check with them. This experience may not be representative of the entire practice, but it shows you that customer retention is just about being nice and patient with your clients.

    The customer service is top tier. I will definitely come back and highly recommend River City…read moreEyecare.
