    The whole experience is wonderful. The licensed Opticians are professional and accurate, personable…read moreand friendly. The doctor is through and quick.

    This is the second time we've wasted money at this location. We went there this time for a family…read moremember. The doctor doesn't listen super well, and the optician is even worse. If there's a problem, they want to blow it off and act like the customer is being unreasonable. They did give us a refund on the glasses but refused to refund the charges to the insurance. The optician there does not like any kind of pushback against what she says. When describing the problems we were having with a new pair of glasses (and asking for a refund), she didn't like it and accused me of being "aggressive." I was speaking fast, but I was definitely not raising my voice. I asked her a simple question about how lens shape interacts with cylinder orientation. The main thing I wanted to know is if 90 degrees is horizontal, but she couldn't answer. Instead, she told me I was "overthinking" it. I explained how I am an engineer who works with physics all the time, and she snapped back about how she's a licensed optician who deals with lenses all the time. Her response to me is code for "I don't understand what you're asking and don't want to deal with it." Actually, the doctor also told me I was "overthinking" it when I was talking to him about the prismatic effect that occurs at the fringes when you have cylindrical correction with large lenses. What is it with people who can't have a technical conversation in an area where they're supposed to be an expert? Is it unreasonable to expect eye doctors and opticians to be able to discuss really basic things about optics? There is an eye doctor I go to in Owego, Gary Williams, and he has no problem discussing these topics. He's patient and knowledgable and doesn't tell me I'm "overthinking" anything when I want to make sure I get the best possible eye prescription. I'll be taking my other family members there from now on.

    I came here today for glasses. I already had my prescription. The young man who checked me in upon…read morearrival was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a very quick and easy check-in. I had enough time to peruse the frames before my name was called. I was helped by a gentleman named Kevin, who was outstanding. He is highly knowledgeable and very friendly. My entire experience here was perfect.

    After posting my now infamous review, Kelly (GM) gave me a call. She appreciated the sense of humor…read moreI obnoxiously hammered on with in the original review. Great sense of humor. Anyway, you don't need to know all the details, just that she acknowledged my frustration with the post-COVID corporate hellscape that is Centralized Human Resources Centers that Visionworks unsurprisingly takes part in. This is obviously beyond her control, but what WAS in her control was the kindness and humor she showed my wife and I in making things right. Each follow up was in kind, and we ended up purchasing a set of glasses in addition to the contacts. In a calamity of errors (it's hard to stop tripping down a set of stairs), the trial pair of contacts was in the wrong Rx, but this was quickly resolved with the on-site doctor. At that point, it was just funny, and we all had a good-ol Karen laugh about it. The gentleman who adjusted her glasses today was super kind. Once my wife - who's only period of rapid decision making has been saying yes to my proposal - had lunch and realized she needed a second adjustment just 20 minutes after these poor people thought they were finally rid of us, he happily made the necessary adjustments to the princess and the pea while Kelly hid from us behind her desk. Needless to say, we told her "see you real soon!" In conclusion, corporate center robots in no way represent the awesome human beings you will interface with at the store, and I encourage you to give this place your business. Just be sure to never let them know I sent you.

    I met with sales associate Kathryn on 1/6/2026, and I asked questions about the different packages…read morethat they offered. I expressed that I was looking for a single pair of glasses with progressive lenses. Kathryn, pointed to the section that I needed, and I went looking for the glasses that suited me. I noticed immediately that all of the glasses and lenses were filthy. Some of the lenses had a dirty sticky residue, which I was not putting on my face. I looked at the premium frames on the other side of the store and saw that they were clean to touch and try on. I picked out a frame I liked and asked about the price, and other features. I ended up purchasing the glasses and paid for my purchase. I used cash as the method of payment, because that was all I had, and they didn't accept my insurance. I went in on 1/18/2026 to pick up my glasses and noticed immediately that the color I got was not what I ordered. And the lenses that I ordered didn't have the anti-glare/protective coating that I had requested. I decided just to leave it alone at that time, as I was already a month past needing the new prescription. I wore the glasses for 8 day's and noticed that when I would clean the lenses, the lense would pop out of the upper part of the metal frame, and there were these black spots that started to appear on the bottom of both lenses, that wouldn't come off when cleaning. I took the glasses back to America's Best on 1/28/2026 and I spoke to Diana, and showed her the issues that I was having, along with the glasses not being the color that I ordered, as well as not having the protective coating. Diana, told me that she didn't see the issues that I had pointed out, but also told me that the lenses popping out of the frame was normal.. I disagreed and requested a full refund. Diana, told me that I would receive a check by mail withing 1-3 weeks, not including weekends. I told Diana, that I paid in cash, as the receipt had showed, and I wanted cash back! Diana, stated that getting cash back wasn't going to happen. I asked to speak with a manager, or someone over her, and Diana stated that she was the manager. I will never do business with America's Best, or any of their other companies in the future, nor do I recommend anyone to do business with them. ( Google, states that America's Best offers a no questions asked full refund, between 30-120 day's from the purchase price, if the glasses were defective from the company. But does not state how you'll receive your refund.

    The ladies who work here are absolute gems! They made everything easy and fast, one of the women…read morepicked out a pair of glasses for me that fit so well.. they have a knack for it.

    Eye Contact by Kathy really went out of their way to make me happy!:)…read more I don't have insurance and was nervous about spending my hard earn dollars at a place that was either going to rip me off or at a place that would sell me garbage glasses from a vending machine. After trying on several frames, I had my exam and the doctor (who was very nice) dilated my eyes. I couldn't see very well and didn't have my contact lenses in. So when I tried on a few more frames, I could vaguely make out the shape. Long story short, I thought I picked out a style I liked but when I went to pick them up I wanted to cry, not what I remembered. The ladies there (I feel terrible I don't remember their names) really went out of their way to make me happy. They got frames from other companies for me to try on, allowed me to exchange the frames I had ordered, and were just really accommodating and helpful! In the end, I am getting the glasses I love! They are super sweet and really do a great job of recommending frames that look good on you! Also I feel like the prices were fair, I had a great exam, and couldn't be happier. I absolutely recommend!!!!!!!!!

I've never been disappointed with her prescription and the care she took to examine my eyes. More fun to be had in choosing frames for sunglasses, etc.! Where around here can you find LaFont frames? Fabulous! More care taken to make sure the fit is just right. Can't say enough good things about them.
