Oldeburgh David R

On my visit there was a newspaper article displayed at the front desk that was political in nature. Since it was pro-​Small Business, I chalked it up to someone upset with the way things are being regulated now. In hindsight, it was a red flag.
He prescribed drops for my eyes, saying I should put the drops on my contacts so they would spread out the application over time. He said my prior optometrist was all wrong, and changed my prescription to a smaller size.
When I filled the prescription for the drops, it wasn’t until I picked them up that I discovered they were $ 75 for a tiny amount. As I followed his instructions, my eyes got worse and I had to go back to glasses with red, irritated eyes while I made an appointment for a second opinion with an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist described Oldeburgh’s instructions as «playing with dynamite.» Apparently the drops lowered my resistance while the too small contacts scraped my eye up. I was told I was lucky things hadn’t gotten much worse.
I wouldn’t send an enemy to this guy.

hot damn, I have good health insurance that includes the eyes now and needed to update my 3 year old eye Rx. I made my appointment about a week in advance.
Before entering, I was a little hesitant to go to an optometrist because I buy my eyeglasses online (saving quite a bit of money — hoorah globalization!) and heard numerous anecdotes from friends across the country about optometrists giving them hassles because they’ve asked for their PD, Pupillary Distance (which optometrists are required to include in your eye prescription) so they could buy eyeglasses online instead of a store.
He’s not just an optometrist but also performs eye surgeries. Served on FDA trials and has his Doctorate. The staff was pretty cordial and they were tactfully dealing with the lady who arrived after me who was inappropriately irate because they were running 15 minutes behind schedule.
I felt hesitant giving them a lot of personal health information but I chalk it up to the fact, I hadn’t been to an optometrist in 3 years.
During my eye exam, he was friendly, professional, chatty, and
He gave me my prescription and my Pupillary distance without any problems and even encouraged me to buy eyeglasses online ! He even gave me a few tips on buying online.
Will go back to him next year for my Rx update.
