Pearle Vision

I would not recommend! The doctor is nice, but his office is a disaster. They have not upgraded to electronic medical records. During my follow up appointment, my paper folder was lost. So they could not order my contacts. I received a follow up email saying I missed my appointment. It’s been a week and I still not have been able to order my contacts. The doctor and staff leave early some days so getting ahold of them is terrible. I am now waiting for a call back. Also, the office offers «deals» outside of insurance coverage that didn’t make sense to me. I wish I would have gone somewhere else. The office is old and smells like mold. Not the latest in equipment.

As far as updating my new Rx for eyeglasses, I easily booked my eye exam appointment online, then instantly received a text message to confirm. Dr. Venokur is an excellent and thorough eye doctor. I also appreciated that he did not dilate my eyes without me having to ask. I received my Rx and was quickly on my way.
Note: I would not buy frames/​lenses from the store as the prices were too much $$$$. I plan to check out online or other cheaper options like Warby Parker or
.

Doctor is knows what he is doing but he’s attitude isn’t right. No manners, worst patient treatment. Overpriced contact lenses and frames this feels like a scam. And if you have insurance they charge everything like 20−30% more than anywhere else

First of all, Dr. Venokur is among the best optometrists I have been to. You may not expect such quality in a small store on 79^th street — but he is VERY thorough, patient and caring. I trust him more than any other I have been to for a prescription. And I am a critical and exacting person when it comes to my vision. He will work with you as well to make sure you are comfortable in your prescription, which is so important.
Second, the staff on the side of the store where you buy glasses is SUPERB. Oly, the head person in charge is exceptionally bright and helpful and also caring. The assistant Alexis is also superb — very thoughtful, helpful, she takes time to listen and find you what you are looking for, whatever your price range and needs are. They both go out of their way to provide trust and care.
Overall, I cannot believe I drove by this gem of a store for many years. It is the best I have been to in town, with people who really DO seem to care and excel at what they do. I was so impressed I decided to leave a Unilocal.Thank you Dr. Venokur (and your staff), and Oly and Alexis (and the rest of the staff).

Great customer service. Very friendly people and really professional service. Great prices. They take insurance. They speak Spanish. They work fast and provide quality service. I believe it is a husband and wife-​owned business. Wide variety of frame choices. Ray-​Bans, Versace, Oakley to name a few. They have a buy one get one free offer. A doctor of optometry.
Great place.

They raped me with the price of new glasses. My pair cost over $ 1000 when I went and shopped around to other stores I found the exact same pair with the exact same lenses for $ 500.

customer service was good. The Dr. is an older white man, who seems to know what he was doing. He even told me not to invest in contact lenses as they would not improve my vision. So I am not giving them $ 50 for a contact lenses exam. Thanks Dr! He also was very patient with me — switching from lense to lense to get the best prescription was confusing so many times I had to tell him to do it again. Hey, I’m paying him. The receptionist wasn’t the friendliest person I’ve ever met but she was cordial.
After getting the exam done, I went to the eye wear to look at their selection. There was a wide selection. The young lady there was extremely helpful. We collected about 20 frames, I went through them twice and I then gave her my top 5. She priced them for me and then she helped me with making the decision. She too was very patient. Another associate helped me make the decision. Great group of young ladies.
I also wanted to purchase a second pair but my insurance would not cover it. The associate said she would give me a discount if I wanted to purchase pair #2. I declined. But it was a kind gesture.
My experience was great but my insurance company benefits were SUPERB! Lol! I had great discounts via my insurance. My eye test was $ 10 and my glasses were originally 400. I got them for $ 170. I did not have to pay for prescription.
Overall, I would return! BTW I will be purchasing a second pair online for a cheaper price.

The advertised sale on the poster in the window was not even close to the cost of a pair I’d actually want to wear. Left immediately and got great service from Lens Crafters in Aventura Mall. Shirley took such GREAT care of me there that I perused the mall afterwards just to buy her a gift to say thank you. I don’t find such service in Miami often.

Small, friendly service. The eye test was $ 90 and the contact lenses were available within 24 hours of my order. Although I was only there for contact lenses, there appeared to be a reasonably good selection of glasses too.
