I called around to price shop for new frames for my son before wasting a bunch of time dragging the poor kid from store to store. This place seemed to have the best price and a decent warranty on kids' frames. We had a specific frame in mind and the lady on the phone said that they carry RayBan Jr and if they didn't have the exact frame in stock, they could order it. She also told me about a 50% off sale going on. We head over that evening and they didn't have a single pair of RayBans in stock. They only had a few cheap, dorky (sorry kids) pairs in the little kid section. The lady behind the counter wrote down the frame number and said she could order it, while promoting a "buy one, get one" sale (we don't want 2 pairs, we only wanted the one). Fast forward another week or so. My husband gets a call a day from them telling him that the frames are in for us to try (why we need to try them, we don't know since we already picked out the exact frame my son wanted). We go in to "try" the frames and the ones we wanted were not in the pile. They were more cheap looking ones. The lady tries to argue with my husband about these being the frames we wanted to look at and tells him the the Ray Bans won't be in for another week. Needless to say, we drove to Minneapolis this weekend, were in and out of Target Optical in under 1/2 hour (the sales lady even fit the frames to him and those frames will be the ones with his prescription in them) and my son's new glasses will be delivered to us before the "try on" frames will even get to Total Eyewear. We should have saved the frustration and just drove to MPLS right away instead of going back and forth with this shop. read more

I called for a last minute appointment to get a new prescription for contacts. Lynn, Lauri, and Dr. Nash-Keller were amazing. They got me into an appointment the very next day. The doctor was right on time, did a very thorough eye exam and got me into a new set of contacts that is perfect for how I wear them. The ladies up front were all very knowledgeable. I even got a cash pay discount since my current health plan doesn't include eye exam coverage - that's awesome. Thanks again for making it easier for me to make Fig Tales cookies! read more

Attention to detail, while being courteous of ones time. My eye exam was quick & painless. Dr. NK knows what his patients want & need. Also, he set me up with a great pair of sunglasses. I highly recommend your next eye appointment happens here! read more

Total Eyewear - Happy with what Dr. NK set me up with. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Brookings, South Dakota

Dr. Nash-Keller did an amazing job fitting me for my contacts. I was very nervous about wearing contacts and he made it easy and comfortable! read more

They are fine if you don't have an issue but WATCH OUT if something is wrong. They will blame you the customer makes you pay up front for contacts does not let you do trials for a couple of weeks. read more

Over the last year, I have bought two pairs of glasses from Total Eyewear! A trip to the eye doctor can be tedious and frustrating, from not enjoying eye exams to trying to select the frames, styles, and options. All of my trips to Total Eyewear have been easy and enjoyable. Lynn, Dr Nash-Keller, and staff are great people, passionate, and truly care about finding something you'll be 100% satisfied with. They go up and beyond customer service and make the experience as great as possible. I had no idea what I was looking for or what I wanted to get. They showed great patience and worked with me going over many different frames. Also, they give you honest feedback and ask sincere questions making sure you are happy with what you picked out. Throughout the whole process they treat you like family and talk to you. They are not just trying to sell their products, they are building genuine relationships. After I bought my first pair of glasses, I went back and bought another pair. I got a pair of glasses with the the blue-blocker lenses. I call them computer glasses. Since I spend a majority of my time on computers, tablets, phones, and etc. it can really wear down my eyes making them dry, irritated, and making it tough to fall asleep at night after working on a screen for so long. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone that works on a computer to get these glasses. It is so much easier on my eyes. It makes long days/nights working on the computer not as miserable. It is easier to fall asleep at night and I don't get dry eyes from the screens anymore! Definitely one of the best purchases I have made! Regardless of your eye care needs, I 100% HIGHLY-RECOMMEND going to Total Eyewear! read more

The doctor was friendly courteous and helpful. Will definately go back next year for my checkup. The problem i had was with the pushy lady who was there this morning. She thought it was a horrible decision to get glasses elsewhere. She kept repeating the importance of getting the right lenses and would not give me my prescription when i asked for it. I had to keep repeating my request. When she finally gave it to me she was rude and did not put any decimals on it. When i asked where the decimal was she said "thats the prescription" and walked away. Im sorry i cant afford such high prices for glassses i wish i could but i cant and i shouldnt be made to feel bad about it. read more

Skip this place. I'm not sure what the deal is, but I went in there and asked a question about kids glasses, and the lady does this weird chuckle, and says 'OK' because she had never heard of the thing I was asking about. I asked her why she was laughing at me and my question about ordering children's lenses and frames and she explained that she wasn't laughing at me and that they have plenty of frames over in the corner. Don't laugh at the customers for asking a question, I went somewhere else. read more

Total Eyewear has been around for over 20 years and has had a great impact to the community! Dr. Richard Barnett is a caring, compassionate optometrist who promotes the best care for all patients. It's great to see a new look and feel to the branding, and I'm excited to see Dr. Barnett continue to impact the Brookings community with his reputation of consistent, top-notch patient care. read more

I needed an exam after my vision had changed in the last few months. I hadn't seen an eye doctor before in Brookings, so I looked online and found Total Eyewear on Yelp and FB. Judging from the reviews, I called for an appointment, and got one the next business day. I was greeted right away, seen on time, the paperwork was minimal, and most importantly, Dr. Wyatt took his time taking care of my eyes and my questions. I'm certain that my appointment went long, but he followed though checking out a particular concern he had until he was sure he had the answer. He talked with me about my diagnosis and my options, and he was patient throughout, His optician staff helped me find the right frames - I need a particularly larger size - and the total cost was right where I expected it to be. I am very loyal to good customer service and getting the basics right, and I'll be back to Total Eyewear. Check them out. read more
