Their selection of frames range from affordable to high end designer. Regardless to what your budget is the customer service is unmatched! Billy is super knowledgeable and helpful to find the right frame. The lead time for the finished glasses depends on what you need but since I require progressive lenses it takes a little but longer than a standard lens. All three of my new glasses (one clear for everyday/night, two different style sunglasses) came in earlier than expected. Give yourself plenty of time to try on all the frames to find the exact one you want. It really is a fun and relaxing environment and Billy is the true star of the show, so make sure you go when he is there and available. I am so grateful to have this wonderful business in our community! Thank you so much!!

If you replace glasses yearly, you might not care; otherwise it's frustrating. The doctor was fine; no complaints there. My issue is with the glasses they sell.

I was…read moreenticed by all of the positive reviews and ease of scheduling appointments online as well as all of the availability they had. They greet you when you come in and provide a nice waiting area. I got my eye exam from Dr. Korrin Goode and she was wonderful. She was thorough and efficient and also specialized in my eye condition. Ian helped me pick out my frames. His approach is what made me feel comfortable because I told him I didn't want to spend much just was looking to use my insurance benefits and he guided me to the right pair of frames. At first I thought they only offered high end designer frames but then I realized that they really do have a pair of frames for just about everybody. I went in to pick up my glasses and Ian told me they were having a promotion and I decided to get another pair since I had just broke my glasses a couple days prior and needed a new casual pair. Ian even offered to repair my old glasses. Overall I see why Total Vision Sports Arena is known for its 5 star reputation. Wonderful experience.

MODERN LUXURY EYE WEAR (5 stars)…read more Get your eyes checked! Majority of us, if not all, pay for these health benefits every pay check and we don't use them. Mind you, your eyes are very important organs - get them checked. With that in mind, I decided to pick a good place based off of reviews because the past few years I went to "convenient places" with an optometry section (Costco, Target) and haven't had that great of service. Back to going to smaller independent optometrist for better overall service. I scheduled the earliest appointment which was about a week out and didn't have any preference on Dr. I ended up getting assigned to Dr. Phu! Depending on time of day, the area can be difficult to find parking - my appointment was at 5:45pm when everyone's coming home and had a difficult time looking for parking and was almost running late to my appointment. I was quickly brought to the back examination room. EXAM. Eye exam with the benefits I have - $10. went with the comprehensive eye exam. There were two options, one to get your eyes diluted (the oldskool way) or not (the newskool way) but with an additional $40 fee. I went this route. Did the regular read letters in different sizes. Then moved to 4 machines that did a variation of testing to check the health of the eyes and etc, do more testings, and take a picture of the anatomy of the eye. Happy to hear everything is fine and I am close to 20/20 vision - although I have worn bifocals since I was 8yrs old and told by several optometrist I have slight stigmatism in my right eye. This exam, there was no stigmatism - if there is it's probably so minor it's not noticeable. And no signs of glaucoma! The exam was about 30m. I reviewed my prescription right away and was not pushed to buy glasses here. FRAME SELECTIONS Very high-end and unique frames! Have you ever seen someone with amazing eyewear and wonder why they got their glasses because it stand out - this is the kind of place where you would get them. The frames here are very pricy but they are also very unique. Many cool ones with personality and pop but my character is very basic and simple that those wouldn't fit me. I asked about what if I brought in my own frames outside (brand new) and they are willing to work with you to get lenses for them. Of course addition paperwork will be filled. I like this place and will bring my future eye service to them. Until the next review...

She answers my many questions and explains all of the exam results, especially comparing my retina digital scans over time. She gave me recommendations for new eyedrops to help with my dry eyes and also provided recommendations for retinal specialists to get a second opinion. She's very friendly and easy to talk with and I trust her professional evaluations and recommendations. Patti helped me find several new frames that I didn't select while shopping online and I absolutely love my 2 new frames! I like that she not only adds more frames that seem in line with the frames I tend to like as well as shows me other frames that she thinks could look good with my face shape. Customer care is superb here and I recommend Urban Optiks to the many people who ask me where I got my frames. It's the only place I've found for unique frames. Yes, some of these unique frames will be pricey, esp if you don't have any eyewear insurance. However, the frames I've purchased are of the highest quality and will last a long time. Since I have to wear glasses the entire day, I have to like what I wear and they need to fit well and be comfortable. I've always found the best frames here! Very happy and I've been coming here for over 10 years!

I was able to find the exact pair of Oakley frames I had purchased at Lenscrafters for almost $60.00 less. Paired with the excellent customer service I received and the super quick turnaround to receive my completed glasses, I will be coming back to this location in the future. Highly recommended!

They also told me I'd get 20% off, from ANOTHER purchase i Made with them, yet somehow my total was $500. When I checked online, the original retail price was around $300, even before the supposed discount. So not only did they fail to deliver the product correctly, they overcharged me hundreds of dollars. When I went in to confront them, they refused to take responsibility or honor what they had said. The manager was incredibly rude, dismissive, and completely useless. No apology, no accountability, nothing. This business is built on lies, zero integrity, and terrible customer service. I've never dealt with such unprofessional behavior. Don't waste your time or your money here -- you'll regret it.

We are always happy with our eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions as well as the selection of frames for glasses Another advantage of Invision is that the office has state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, which is important for detecting more serious eye conditions. A family member, who went to another optometrist, was diagnosed late with macular degeneration because her optometrist didn't have good screening equipment. In contrast, Invision screens our eyes every year and has several decades of records so they can catch any changes early, when treatment is most effective.

He was very good , but pricey. Also, I didn't always like how his technicians would push optional tests on you that you didn't need. They also didnt always tell you about the cost. You'd walk out of his office after about $300 without contacts or glasses. You could end up spending about $1500 for glasses or more depending on your prescription and if you add all the bells and whistles. At Eyeglass World you usually spend way less. Also, the customer service is outstanding. When I walked in I was greeted by Brian and directed to where I check in for my eye appointment, Tresten checked me in and he was very friendly. Within in 10 minutes I was called into the pre test room where he took a pictures of my eyes did eye measurements and the eye puffer test. He did ask if I wanted to do an extensive eye test for $15, but I declined. Not long after I was put in the exam room and Dr. Yarnell came about 3 minutes later. She was really good. She walks you step by step on your exam and the findings. After the exam I went to look at glasses. I had a friend with to help me look at glasses and see which ones looked the best. I was in between 4 pairs and than Monsay came to help us and she agreed on the glasses that were my number 1 choice. I spent after all the add-ons and insurance discounts $226.30. I'm just deciding if I want the 1 year protection plan for $25. I have 30 days to get it. Anyways great customer care/service. I will be back and have established a new optometrist.
