I scheduled an appointment to update my eye prescription and get a contact lens fitting, asked for the total cost and the guy I spoke to said it would be 140 dollars, showed up for my appointment and they changed the cost to 172 dollars. Definitely not going back. Go to lens crafters, they are at least 40 dollars cheaper and don’t use the bait and switch technique.

Be aware that BJ’s Optical is actually an outside vendor renting space in BJ’s various stores. The non glare coating started peeling off my glasses making them difficult to use… I was told they could do nothing for me as my glasses were just beyond two years old. I went to the BJ’s store manager where I was informed there was nothing she could do as the eyeglass department is NOT part of BJ’s. The quality of the coating was very poor and I would strongly advice others to shop elsewhere as there is no real savings here.

I usually see an optometrist in my home state but I happened to be in MA and really need to update my prescription to get some new contacts. The eye exam by Dr. O’Shea was not really successful. She was kind of hard to connect with and she really creates a barrier between herself and the patient which just makes the whole think awkward. Anyways, I got a new prescription and requested a trial pair of contact lenses to try at home. Well, the prescription for my left eye was way off. That was the first time that had ever happened to me. I felt the eye exam was quite rushed and perhaps that’s were the error came in. I had to go to a conference the next three day so I was bummed out about not being able to see correctly! It’s not like going to the optometrist is dirt cheap and if your appointment is going to be rushed through, you want to make sure you are at least getting the right prescription so you don’t waste further time trying to correct the problem.

I had an absolutely terrible experience with Dr. O’Shea. I thought I was lost going to her office until I realized it was inside BJ’s. I arrived and waited 30 minutes — when she finally emerged she said, «oh you must be a walk-in». I assured her that I had made an appointment and apparently no one recorded it. The appointment was okay — seemed that the equipment was old and was much faster than my usual appointments, but whatever. Later, I ripped my contact while away from MA and called hoping she would fax my prescription to a doctor in the area so that I could get an emergency pair. Apparently they don’t keep copies of the prescriptions they write. I called two different numbers and emailed her — I have probably called 10 times. Two days later, still no prescription. Her secretary finally called me and said«sorry — I know it’s been two days, but apparently she doesn’t think this is very urgent.»

I doubt they can be beat on price with style. It’s actually operated by «US Vision» which runs optical centers at many retain chains: Macys, kmart, jcpenny — so price & selection & service may be comparable at those: has a «store locator.» Personnel were professional, pleasant & competent, esp. Ryan, the 1st guy I talked to. A top opthamologist’s office in Boston had suggested BJ’s Optical. US Vision now runs some of Sears’ optical centers, others of which are operated by Luxotica Group, an Italian optical conglomerate which is probably the biggest. My purchase, after bringing in a presciption: «Bendy» metal frame(recovers from impact), anti-glare coating, no-line bifocals in polycarbonate lenses: $ 189. A sale was on, otherwise this would have cost $ 219. Less-fancy frames would have cost $ 35 less. 10 days’ wait was estimated, but the glasses arrived in 12 days. Major optical chain stores’ selection is larger, along with price.

I ordered my contacts with no hassle from a guy with amazing eyes(excellent for his line of work). Didn’t even have to show my BJs card! Prices are much much better here.

The prices here for eyeglasses(frames & lenses) are a lot cheaper compared to buying eyewear at the eye doctor. Eye exams are offered at this location or go see your own eye doctor, get a prescription, and bring it to BJ’s. Once the frame & lenses are chosen, it takes less than a week to get them(mine were ready in 2 days). The service here is good(the optical manager has straightened out, adjusted, & cleaned my accidently bent glasses on those few occasions at no charge).
