For Eyes Optical

Recently, I’ve had a few issues with my contacts and have been forced to use my 11 yr old glasses for the past several weeks.
I came into For Eyes today and have had one of the BEST experiences I’ve ever had. James and Maynesh were so helpful! They found 2 pairs of glasses and got me some contacts to get me through. James found a PERFECT pair of glasses for me and Maynesh was extremely helpful in getting me all of the available discounts that he could find.
I know that this location has a ton of bad reviews, but I urge you to try them out. The staff has completely turned over and they have new management. I bet you will find that you will have a far superior experience if you try this location out now…

Got my first pair of progressive lenses here and I couldn’t be happier! My consultant Sonny (sp?) did a fantastic job fitting me and helping me pick out my frames and types of lens.

I don’t know how many optometrists actually work in this store, so this review is really only about the one optometrist I happened to get. I don’t know his name, but he is a young Asian man. If you get this guy, be prepared to be condescended to. He was genuinely annoyed with every single thing I said and did. He started off the conversation with, «it’s your fault you can’t see out of your contacts…». I didn’t switch them out often enough, I pressed my face too close to the exam equipment, I couldn’t explain why my former optometrist switched my brands, I wasn’t using the right solution, etc. We, as consumers, have a choice of where we go for service and frankly, in Atlanta, optometry locations are a dime a dozen. There is no logical reason to go somewhere where you will be treated like a 4 year old. I was telling my friend about him and she goes, «oh yeah, I got him too, my contact case was apparently „filthy“. I’m so gross and dirty!» This guy reminded me of Leslie Chow from The Hangover. It was *almost* funny, um, yeah, but not quite.
I also listened to the retail associate take a call in which the person was upset that their lenses were STILL not in, which per the other reviews is apparently a problem. I shall see…
That being said, here are the positives: got an appointment quickly, staff was friendly and helpful, the appointment itself was relatively fast and the overall the price was comparable.

My contacts were taking longer than expected to come in, so they offered to give me a trial pair in the meantime. I arrived, and they had them pulled and ready for me, which I greatly appreciate. Great customer service!

My visit at the For Eye’s in Sandy Springs was AMAZING!!! I was greeted immediately by Maxine. I came in looking to only get a pair of glasses with my groupon. Maxine and I began to search for glasses. While looking for glasses she told me about a 50% off sale you guys were having and she picked out sunglasses for me to try on while we were looking for my regular glasses. I wasn’t looking for sunglasses but I sure am happy that she picked some out for me to try. Maxine is a eyeglasses extraordinaire! She found a pair that went great with my prescription and that looked great on me. I didn’t pick the pair she suggested me to get the first time. She told me I would be back to get the pair she picked because of my prescription and sure enough I ended up coming back to get the one she suggested. I thought her professionalism and knowledge of what I needed was out of this world. She said that the glasses were excellent for my prescription and they looked outstanding. I walked out with two pair of glasses and a very happy customer!!!
I recommend For Eye’s to any and everyone!!!
They even adjustment and clean glasses FREE for ANYBODY! Not just customers.

I love the big selection of frames. We went today and there was no one else in there so we got help right away. Burt was ultimately very wonderful. We also found out that today was the last day to get half off on frames and lenses … I wouldve given it five stars but when we got in our car and drove off, we had a chance to look at the receipt, and found that they added $ 29 for a protection plan and $ 80 for «TLC» which we have no idea what that is … we are going to call tomorrow to have that looked into, and I hope they can remove that since they NEVER mentioned that to us not even once … I dont think those are mandatory fees, so I feel like that they shouldve given us the option to either take it or not … we understand that it is HALF OFF, but that doesnt mean we want all the other extra stuff, right?
SO — 4 stars still since Burt was very nice and it was a pleasant experience all in all … up until we saw the ‘extra charges.‘
I will be updating my review after we discuss this issue with the store …

This place is wonderful. Affordable and they have a deal where you can get 50% off your 2^nd pair. Great turn around time to get your glasses, friendly staff, affordable, and awesome selection of glasses.

Horrible experience. Sales lady talked down to me like I was in kindergarten very this place seemed to care less if they want your business. Beware of this place

Was told that my ins didn’t cover the exam. Left after waiting an hour and went home to find out they DO take my ins. Was Very disappointed! The girl behind the counter setting up appointments didn’t know what she was doing and should have further training b4 being able to work on her own. Can’t believe they tried to say they didn’t take my ins. & couldn’t find it, only to find out from my ins provider that they were #4 on the list for an eye doctor close by who takes my insurance.

Deceitful and disrespectful. Doctor anh ho lied like a rug. Said I had no contact lens benefit on my vision insurance plan. I felt suspicious, called my insurance company on the spot and they told me differently. Both the dimwitted sales lady and the doctor were wrong and neither apologized for being frankly dishonest. Run, don’t walk away from this place. If only I had read Unilocal first, as the other review sounds quite similar to my experience here today. Also didn’t bother to get records from my previous opthamologist.

The eye doctor was great, she was honest and up-​front with me and consulted me properly with my concerns. However, I asked for a glasses only exam and instead was charged for a contact lens exam, so $ 50 later, I’m pissed.
So I walk over to the other side to go get some new lenses for my contacts. I knew what my allowances were as far as my insurance went and one of the ladies who worked there told me that I was wrong and I read it improperly and that it was going to cost me $ 200 for new lenses and my insurance was only going to give me a 20% discount. (I was suppose to get $ 150 allowance and anything over that was a 20% discount) but this lady just would not listen and I ended up walking out. I couldn’t believe that some as stupid as her ACTUALLY has a job.
