Moran Eye Center

It’s worth the wait and the cost.
I had seen optometrists at ‘discount’ places for years. Over the last few years, I felt that my prescription was never ‘perfect’ and recently developed headaches which I felt were tied to my vision.
I saw Dr Vincent and it turns out my contact lens prescription was WAY off! He gave me a new prescription and some trial lenses which are significantly better. I haven’t had a headache in a week and I’ll go to Moran for life.

My review of the Moran consists of two perspectives. The first is as an employee on the operating floor and the second is as a patient.
For many, what goes on behind the scenes at any healthcare facility is relatively unknown; however, after two and half years of working behind the scenes at the Moran, I can attest that the staff and physicians here are top notch. They’re truly knowledgable in everything that they do and they’re ability to not only train future doctors in ophthalmology is combined with their ability to provide amazing patient care. It was my experience of what occurs in the back that motivated me to become a patient here as well.
For my second perspective, I began as a patient looking to have my eyes checked for new glasses/​contact subscriptions. Dr. Taylor was professional and efficient leaving my vision feeling great with his prescriptions. Although like many, I considered lasik surgery.
My personal experience with Dr. Mifflin persuaded me to make an appointment and it was probably one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. The quality of my life was good before getting PRK (PRK was an alternative method to lasik) surgery but it made my life that much better. I went from seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀₀ nearsightedness to seeing better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ and I attribute that to the quality of my physician/​facility and my adherence to his instructions post-​op. The ability to wake up in the morning seeing perfectly or hike in the canyons without the need of additional aids to my eyesight is so gratifying.
These feelings are only supported by the amount of patients I have met first hand who had cataract surgery, lasik, and more with similar feelings of gratification. It is my belief that the Moran is one of the premier eye centers in the world.

This place is really nice. They have free parking for patients and dr. Vincent was so nice!
I needed to get my eyes checked and since this place is really close to my work, I decided to Moran a try. Dr. Vincent was my doctor and he was so nice. He explained everything he was doing and checked everything.
Moran is a really nice building but their check in and trying to find the right place to be is kind of confusing. I just got lucky and was able to find the correct clinic but other patients were having a difficult time.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!
The service here was fine. My wife liked it there, she got an appointment quickly and they do a good deal on lenses. And It wasn’t a bad experience at all, but their billing department is sleazy. I paid in full at the time of service, or so I thought. then a couple weeks later I got an extra bill in the mail for only $ 40. I didn’t keep the handy because I paid in full and didn’t think anything of it. Anyway I couldn’t prove that I paid in full at the time of service. I finally got the price lowered once the bill was sent to collections a few months later. That’s another thing, I’ve never had a medical bill, or any bill, sent to a collections agency that quickly. Holy cow. It’s not a bar tab, it’s a medical expense.
Pros: Good glasses, quick and pleasant service
Cons: Their billing office might try to pull a fast one on you. keep your receipt handy.

nice facility and great selection of designer frames… really! a lot of choices… especially sport goggles… u know most of the places has like two or three sport frame and that’s it.
cons: well super expensive and took forever. (about 2 – 3 weeks)
my boyfriend’s prescription was wrong. so he has to send it back and that took another 2 – 3 weeks…

Before even moving here, I learned about the Moran Eye Center and the great work that its doctors do around the world. I mean, they go to Nepal and literally make blind people see with small surgeries and other services. So between that and its proximity to the U, we figured it was the place to go.
My husband and I have worn glasses or (in my case) contacts for a combined 90 years, so we know from eye doctors. Even though (one would imagine) eye doctors aren’t often called away for life threatening emergencies, they always kept us in their waiting rooms for ages. Not this crew. Dr Petty and his assistants were prompt, friendly, thorough and helpful.
The optical shop deserves its own review, but let’s just say hooray for them. The only giltch was that my husband’s prescription had some sort of snafu and he needed to wait another 10 days to get them redone when he couldn’t see out of the first pair. But that was cheerfully remedied.
Free parking under the building and a little café on the top make everything easy and convenient.

2 week wait for an appointment to get my vision checked?! Really? Nice facility and all, but that’s ridiculous.

I visited Dr. Vincent at the Moran Eye Center for an eye exam this morning and enjoyed my experience. The check-​in desk was well organized and quick and my appointment began right on time. Dr. Vincent’s assistant was very thorough in examining my eyes and the optometrist was experienced, personable and answered all my questions. I will recommend to others.
