Everyone was really nice and the service was super fast! Like, the staff actually were genuinely nice to me, and I really appreciated that. People aren't that nice back in Texas at my hometown, haha!
It was a pleasure coming here. The locale was also really nice, super clean and had really great prices! 300 dollars for a year's worth of contacts is superb when I usually end up paying 300 for a three month supply of bi-weeklies! 5 stars, would definitely visit again!

I was ready to give this place five stars plus! I went in and got an eye exam for contacts! And I called back to let them know that my distance is a little blurry with the new contacts! I was wearing multifocal contacts before and my distance vision was Chrystal clear! I had only been out of contacts for about two weeks! With my old prescription, I had to add readers to read clearly! When I called, I was told it was because I didn’t order glasses, that I have extremely dry eyes, and contacts aren’t really what I need! I’ve been wearing contacts for three years! When I checked out, I was told that I had dry eyes, but not that I needed treatment for them! Had I not had contacts where my distance vision and distance reading was Chrystal clear two weeks prior to I may have believed their theory! I feel as though they don’t want to adjust my contacts! Are trying to get me to buy glasses there! And my mild dry eyes went to severe dry eyes that need treatment in two days time! It’s a little ridiculous to me! I drove an hour to get to this place because they were the only ones open on a Sunday and accepted walk-ins on my day off!
I’m going to try these contacts for two weeks as suggested, but my distance vision is not getting any clearer or my distance reading! It does not make sense that with my old contacts my distance reading and distance scene was clear and now that it’s not!
So I went from being absolutely over the hill ecstatic with this place to being very disappointed!
