Mixed experience that started promising but ended with a serious concern…read more My first visit was for ongoing eye irritation, redness, and itching -- not seasonal, just a daily struggle. The comprehensive exam was thorough: vision check, infection test, the works. I appreciated that. However, my doctor's initial recommendation was simply to continue my old eye drops, which weren't helping. Only after I pushed back and explained how much this was affecting my daily life did she suggest something new. I shouldn't have had to advocate that hard to get proper treatment. I was also told I had $150 from my insurance for eyeglasses, so I asked about UV/blue light glasses given my diagnosis. She said I'd need a separate appointment for a vision exam -- even though a vision exam had already been performed. That felt unnecessary, but I scheduled it anyway. At my second appointment, the nurse informed me that a retinal image ($45-$65) was required by law alongside the eye exam. That immediately didn't sit right with me. I asked if it was optional, she insisted it was mandatory by law. I cancelled on the spot, called my insurance directly, and they confirmed it is completely optional. My insurance is through my corporate job -- one of the best plans out there -- and they were very clear about it. I don't know if this was a miscommunication or an intentional attempt to overcharge, but either way it's not acceptable. I thought I had found a great new eye care provider. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Last week I was having the worst migraines, so I figured it was time to see an optometrist to get…read morean updated glasses prescription. I was able to book an eye exam online through their website for the following week. They had a ton of availability and it was nice to do this at any hour of the day at my convenience without talking to someone. After I booked, I was immediately sent paperwork to fill out with my personal information and insurance (this was to help save time at my appointment). My appointment comes around and lucky me...I forgot my wallet. Thankfully I had photos of my ID & vision insurance on my phone and they took Apple Pay (a huge plus in my book). The person at the front desk was friendly and I only had to wait maybe a minute or two before the technician came to collect me. I do not remember her name, but she was kind and explained everything to me before taking photos of my eyes or doing anything. Something that was interesting about this whole experience was that the doctor was remote! The technician set up the exam towards the end of the appointment and I communicated with Dr. Boykin on video chat through an iPad like device. Even though he was remote, it still felt very personable with A+ care. He went over my eye scans with me and explained what a healthy eye looks like. The technician was in the room the whole time. After he finished the exam, he immediately wrote me a prescription and I went to the retail part of the store to pick out glasses. You definitely are not pressured to buy any of their glasses, but I wanted to because of convenience. The whole eye exam appointment took about an hour. The retail associate was also really nice. I definitely took my time trying on glasses to find what I liked and she didn't rush me at all and even helped make suggestions. I truly appreciated her patience. Before I placed my glasses order, she broke down the cost and explained what insurance covered. All in all, this was a wonderful experience. If you need to see an eye doctor, I would recommend this place!

READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE SCHEDULING... I was considering not writing this review even after all the…read morewaste of money and time but Vision Source-Eye Center of the Triad had the nerve to send me a bill for $4.13 a couple of days ago. I cannot let this pass! I am so extremely disappointed with this eye care practice. Total incompetence. Let me begin with: I have had myopia since I was 12 years old. With Dr. Martinek, I walked into the office having myopia in both eyes, but walked out with a "perfectly healthy" left eye (20/20 vision). But 5 months after that visit, when I could not see at all, I walked in with her "20/20 vision" in my left eye and left with myopia again. Go figure! Meanwhile, she had me on "dry eye" treatment however charging both my eye and medical insurance for unprofessional and incompetent care. I still had to have a THIRD eye exam this year because I could not see after Dr Martinek's second exam. I know mistakes/typos/calibration errors can happen, and I appreciate honesty. The people in this practice, starting with Dr. Martinek, are unable to take responsibility for mistakes but quickly blame the patient. Josef, the optician/administrator, is condescending and disrespectful. It is truly embarrassing. I prefer driving 90 minutes to see my eye doctor in Wake Forest and have positive, respectful, quality care.

I'm honesty very disappointed with Oman Eyecare. When I first started going there many years ago,…read morethey were extremely friendly and I never had any billing issues. However, on 2 of the last 3 visits, I've had charge disputes which came as unnecessary surprises. When I established this latest appointment, I made it perfectly clear that I expected this visit to be covered by my insurance at no charge (since I had a previous problem with them in this regard, I wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding). The person on the line confirmed they had my current insurance information on file, and that there would be no charge. They also acknowledged that their records indicated I visited Duke University Eye Center every year for a diagnostic eye exam, so the visit to Oman would be related to my optical Rx. Again, given a past billing issue with them, when I arrived for my appointment, I made it a point of mentioning to the desk person that my visit was to be at no charge. I confirmed the same information about going to Duke Eye Center every year. No questions or issues were raised about anything I said. Honestly, if they had mentioned there would be a charge for just having a portion of the exam performed (I didn't need Oman to replicate what I had done by Duke Eye Center a couple months prior), I would have had the entire exam done or chose to leave. The person who initially examined me had the personality of a dead fish. Totally unfriendly, disengaged, and seemed as if she would have liked to be anyplace else. Subsequently, I saw the optometrist, he went through the vision procedure, and I proceeded to the front desk to check out. All I expected was to be handed my prescription. I indicated I'd be back to visit their optical shop later, since I wanted my wife with me to choose a frame. At that point, the desk person indicated that my charge is $54. I told them that this visit was to be at no charge, as is noted on my insurance card for in-network providers like Oman. I also stated that this had been previously confirmed by them. I then got fed some nonsense about not having the "complete exam," so I had to pay for the refractory (determining the vision Rx) portion. Now, mind you, the "complete exam" INCLUDES the refractory portion. If I had been told this upfront, I would have gone through the complete exam, even though it was entirely unnecessary, or just left. Obviously, there was no question from the onset as to why I scheduled an appointment with them or that my expectation was that their service would be without charge to me. Long story short is that I didn't pay them, they stated they'd submit a claim to Humana's EyeMed Vision anyway, and I walked out of there without my Rx. In essence, the visit was an entire waste of my time. It's now been 2-1/2 weeks, and I've heard nothing from them whatsoever. So, I guess I just don't get my Rx prescription or even know what they've done with the claim. Overall, it was an entirely negative experience. I place the blame on them for poor communication, having individuals on their staff who apparently don't care about friendly interactions with their patients, and for seemingly trying to bill for services where a patient had clearly communicated their expectations otherwise.

I had a fantastic experience at the Lenscrafters at Friendly Center. We worked with Raye. I…read morehighly recommend her. We were a complicated customer in that I had my oldest daughter with me who was getting glasses for the first time, I also had my youngest daughter's glasses with me needing updated lenses. I only had the name of my insurance provider, without any policy numbers. Raye multi-tasked like a pro. She got my older daughter started looking at frames, and in the meantime quickly identified my insurance coverage. She compared those benefits to my AAA benefit to the in-store promotions and it was easy to identify the best way to process my purchases. She shared in the enthusiasm of my other daughters first set of glasses and patiently helped her pick out the best pair, and got the lab working on them immediately. Because we were going out to dinner, I was planning to pick up both glasses the next day (the replacement lens wouldn't be ready until then anyway). I received a text that the new glasses were ready earlier than promised. By the time we finished dinner and drove back to Lenscrafters it was about 8:10 pm. They close at 8:00 pm. My daughter was disappointed. Just for the heck of it, I knocked on the door. The general manager, Mike, came and unlocked the door. I apologized to him and asked if we could possibly get the glasses even though they were closed. I'm sure Mike was ready to go home, but he graciously invited me in and seemed genuinely delighted to get the glasses for us. That's great customer service. The next day (today), I went back in to get the second pair of glasses. The store was packed. Raye saw me come in, smiled, walked across the store and asked how Eliza like her glasses. I was blown away that she remembered my daughter's name based on the volume of people in and out of this store. I will continue to go here for our entire family's glasses needs. I highly recommend Lenscrafters at Friendly Center, and want to thank Raye and Mike for the excellent service.
