Design For Vision

I have had a wonderful experience here, and I highly recommend Design for Vision to anyone looking for a great eye doctor.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Christine. I have worn glasses/​contacts for 25 years, and she is the best optometrist I have ever seen. She spent the time to listen to the problems I was having with my current glasses/​contacts, and did a very thorough exam. She gave me free samples of a few different types of contacts to try before making a decision. Unlike other doctors in the past– she didn’t just increase my prescription (I am extremely near-​sighted), but adjusted my prescription according to the issues I was having. She is passionate about her work, and it shows! I’m happy to have found Design for Vision!

Truly the warmest, most welcoming atmosphere, exquisite ambiance, and amazing selection of glasses and prescription sunglasses! The only thing better than being a customer at Design for Vision is being a part of the team!

Both times we went there, as soon as the employee saw our insurance card, commented in a demeaning way that we had an «affordable care act (Obama) insurance». The first time, I let it go; but the second time I had one of my children comment that «it must be embarrassing to have Obamacare». I was furious! How dare they comment on client’s insurance choices out loud in a disrespecting way. Ironically, they get paid the same way as they did with my previous insurance which was double the premium and with less coverage. I think they should keep their «personal or political opinions to themselves», respect their clients and not comment AT ALL their preference for vulture insurance plans versus Government sponsored plans that offer better coverage and value. Never recommending, never

To address Donald from Design for Vision, I asked many times for a «budget selection» and was never brought to a pair of 79.95 dollar pair of glasses. I specifically stressed many times that I had LASIK done a couple years back and wanted the least expensive pair I could find because they might be temporary as I may just get my LASIK tweaked. The sales lady never once brought me to an inexpensive pair, and did not help me with my search.
Additionally, the only thing that was «over bearing» was the fact that the sales lady stopped multiple times during filling out my paperwork to tell me personal stories about the books she was reading, her apartment, and yoga classes that were making her tired.
Lastly, the plastic lenses I was provided with from Design for Vision are constantly giving me a haloed and purple tinted effect and more than 3 different people have told me the frames are too big for my face.
The glasses from Walmart are clear and serve me fine considering I use them to read for an hour before bed. I’ve been dealing with eye prescriptions since I was 8 years old, I am no novice when it comes to what to look for.
I was being modest with my previous review; I will not be returning or recommending.
