Did you know the VA optometrist still dilates pupils to view the backs of patients' eyeballs? I…read moreknow. It's a neolithic practice that should get tossed in a dumpster fire next to the likes of fax machines and Blackberries. It also happens to be the main reason I sought out Lumen Eye Care as my new go-to for all things optometry. Well, that and....wifey already goes here and vouches for them hard. Recently relocated to the Northeastern boulevard, you may be forgiven if you struggle to find their suite upon first visit. Just look for the giant glasses next to the front door and you'll spot them straight away. Of course, you'll have to park across the street, but that's a minor inconvenience, at worst. I have to admit...first impressions were most pleasant. The office is clean, pristine, and a welcoming scene. Heh! I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. Snoogans! XD But seriously folks, the docs here will treat you with the best of care. The initial wait was a bit longer than expected, given the lack of patients at the time. But that can mostly be forgiven, considering how far more advanced their technology is compared to past optometrists I've visited. That's what brought me here in the first place. I find that in my "old" age (and I say that rather dubiously), keeping up with the recommended annual check-ups proves to be most crucial. I've worn readers for a few years now. As such, I want to make sure I'm wearing the appropriate prescription at the time it's needed. Every procedure here is carried out with precision, speed, and professionalism. The "head doc" (as I'll affectionately call her) was unexpectedly warm and kind. Then again, I've likely had my original view of optometrists tainted by my past experiences with military doctors. Yeah...they tend to scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to selecting those personality types. But, I digress. So, perhaps the bar was low going in. Nevertheless, I couldn't be more pleased with Lumen's practices. Enrolling into their database was simple and only required 3 signatures. As I alluded to in the beginning, they accept VA sponsorship; which is a HUGE win in my book! Plus, I really can't say enough good things about their updated equipment. And for those wondering, they use an ophthalmoscope (don't try saying that 3 times fast) to view the insides of your eyeball--as opposed to dilating your pupils so wide you come out looking like Hermey the elf. IYKYK. Now, I can't speak to their prices for eyewear. I'd only caution the average consumer to purchase their glasses online somewhere--especially if you only need readers. IMHO, there is NO reason to purchase glasses likely priced in the triple digits that you'll only need to wear part time anyway. Unless there's a frame set you're just DYING to have, I really don't see the point. Someone should have told that one guy who visited back in May of this year (also, don't buy Ray-Bans?). Inflated prices aside though, I don't think that warrants a one star review against this place. But that's just MY opinion. Anyway, I have to come back here in a few months to check on some...questionable marks in the back of my eyeball. But that's merely a testament to their meticulous nature. Lumen Eye Care is worth 5 VERY relieved, normal sized pupils out of 5.

Since I work in Lowell I just wanted to find some place I could easily bop over to during the week. I called on Monday and got an appointment on Friday. The receptionist wasn't overly friendly, but I've found that to be true at all eye doctors I've called lately. Dr. Fabello greeted me at the front desk. He looked up my insurance before the exam to see what the options were for my contacts (this is when he informed me that my insurance wasn't very good) and then proceeded with the exam. Since I had my old prescription the exam was fairly quick. He checked that there weren't anything improvements to make to the prescription and that my eyes were healthy. He explained my insurance situation to me and worked with me figure out the best balance of optimizing the use of my benefits along with getting the best contacts for me. When I checked out the receptionist was back at the front desk and she was helpful but had the attitude that I was inconveniencing her to be doing her job. Overall a great experience, just be prepared for the receptionist's 'tude.

Finally gave up and drive 45 mins to a place we trust that fixed the problem in 2 minutes. I will continue to come for the exams, no question.
