The Optical Centre

The eye doctor office in the back is good, but more than once the front office sales people have left us expecting different results. For example, if you use insurance benefits to purchase sunglasses, they still charge you personally for the shipping cost to the store… where you then have to go pick them up. This is not standard. Dr. Neka was excellent, but she has since opened her own practice in Longmont (Sight Eyecare). I recommend that instead.

The Optical Centre was able to quickly and conveniently get me in for an eye appointment before I left town. The eye doctor was extremely informative and Kristy helped me pick out the perfect pair of frames! I highly recommend this place for your next eye appointment, or if you’re looking to upgrade your frames.

Dr. Hamer is by far the best eye doctor I have seen in the last decade. He is extremely friendly, personable and took the time to explain things to me. On top of that Jeff is incredibly knowledgable and helpful when shopping for frames. I can’t see myself going anywhere else!

This business has the best customer service. Jeff always fits me in no matter when I stop in. I just went there because I smashed my glasses again. He had them fixed within minutes. I was on a conference call that I couldn’t break away from. He fixed them and I was on my way within a few minutes. If your looking for expert quality service in eye care. GO HERE! The absolute best in this area. I wish more businesses were like this

This is by far the best place to get your glasses or sunglasses. The people who work here are wonderful. They treated me great from the time I walked in until the time I left with my glasses. Very nice atmosphere and wonderful selection.

Went to see Dr Neka for the first time 2 months ago. She is professional and very skilled. I have been looking for a new optometrist and I’ve found her! The people in the store are awesome. Jen Knowles helped me find sunglasses that I loved (a nearly impossible task!), and replaced the lenses in my current glasses as well! Awesome experience!

My family and I have been coming to the Optical Centre for years now.
Most recently, I have had a lot of issues getting my glasses dialed in properly. That difficulty is more an issue with my aging eyes, than anything.
Despite the issues I was having, the Optical Centre staff was professional, and willing to do what they could to satisfy my eyewear needs.

Dr. Neka and her receptionist were very unprofessional. I walked back into their office only to hear them talking about me in their back office. Dr Neka called me odd, among other things. Dr Neka saw me standing there and she walked into her next appointment. The receptionist apologized, but it was very insincere. The receptionist accused me of not coming back to their office to order my contacts. The front office apologized for Dr. Neka’s behavior, and that was very kind. Go here, at your own risk!

The optometrist (Dr. Neka) is a good lady but the people who work in the store are jerks. They tried to charge me for Transitions lenses despite the fact that my insurance fully covers them.

This optical shop & office is tucked away inside an old building along Main St. across from Pump House. I’d honestly never noticed it before, but upon doing some research found that they accepted my vision insurance, VSP, and decided to give them a try.
I truly enjoyed my contact lens appointment with Dr. Neka. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and happily answered all of my questions. She even took the time to look into additional concerns I had regarding things I’d been told by a past optometrist, and reassured me that there was no sign of what I’d been told (allegedly, I was showing signs of cataracts developing, even though I’m only 26).
Being new to the Longmont area, I hadn’t yet chosen a local optometrist. Well, I’ve definitely found my new place, and will be a return customer!

Thank you Dr. Neka and the Optical Center Longmont!
Time was rushing by, and I decided to get my eyes checked again… as it had been years. Had my Rx changed? Have I indeed succumbed to age? Well, I have great Preventative health care insurance. and there is a BONUS payback to an eye check up by end of Fiscal year, 2013. Time running out!
I was so happy to find an office of professionals that accommodated me so quickly. They did a Stellar job at making you feel comfortable, Part of the family .and actually cared for. Jenny, the office manager, was super warm and professional, as was Dr. Neka. No bad news. Eyes are fine.
I left there feeling great. My next Purchase is corrected sunglasses. Even though my retail store where I work is a Smith /​SPY/​Oakley dealer, I will Give Dr. Neka and the Optical Center my Business.
Thank You

Dr Nekka does great work and very nice. The Optical Centre staff is nice and very helpful.

Great place for an eye examination.
Dr. Neka was very nice, sweet and welcoming. We were a little late for our appointment, but they were very accomodating. The staff were very friendly. Overall a great experience!

Dr. Neka has a warm and welcoming personality and she gave me a very thorough exam. Her exam helped me catch possible problems that could have become severe if not treated quickly.

This is a really great locally owned business. Very friendly and knowledgeable people. The help I got with frame selection was particularly valuable. You can trust these people to make suggestions on frames that really work for your tastes and lifestyle without having to worry if they are blowing smoke just to make a sale. They’re genuine and helpful in offering advice on what will make you look your best.

I recently went in to The Optical Center to buy Sunglasses. They have one of the best selections of Oakley, Nike, Ray-​Ban, bolle’, and Revo Sunglasses in Longmont. This is the second time that I have purchased sunglass from this shop. The first time they actually informed me that I could use my frame benefit from my insurance to help pay for sunglasses which makes buying high-​end sunglasses very affordable. They also have a great selection of regular frames.
I must admit that I don’t get my vision checked here, but the staff at The Optical Shoppe are first class. Jeff, Karen, and Jenny offered the best customer service and were very helpful from helping me pick the right frame to fitting them properly. Also, the atmosphere was very casual and it didn’t feel so clinical like at other optical shops. I highly recommend this business… Plus it is a local business.

I hate eye exams, it’s just an unpleasant necessity… But Dr. Neka was great! If you appreciate a nice, quiet, friendly local doctor’s office, this is your place. I’ve been to other practices where you’re more or less a number moving along on an assembly line, but that’s not my experience here. I definitely recommend The Optical Centre and Dr. Neka.
