For Eyes Optical

I have been back several times. Always great service, I would highly recommend.

Some of these negative reviews seems a little nitpicky to me so I did some research on my own. After making a few phone calls to the «let’s save some $» places (For Eyes, BJ’s, Target, Sears) asking questions about their specials, my specific RX, etc. For Eyes had the edge on the best deal (strong Rx requires different lenses which offsets their (and others) 2 for $ 99 pricing and other specials) so off to For Eyes. Had a very helpful salesperson and a trainee. I’ll update when I get my glasses but for right now I’m pretty satisfied with the customer service and price. Got 2 pair: regular with anti-​reflective along with the protection plan (full replacement). Got the protection plan because after 15 years with my old pair, my puppy thought they were a fun chew toy! 2^nd pair: Rx sunglasses. Total $ 298. Definitely more than I had initially anticipated spending but after the phone calls, I feel I got a good deal. Also found out that I can save minimum $ 20 (up to $ 80) on my bifocal contacts. Last purchase was 15 years ago — same thing (at a different place) 1 pair regular /​1 pair sunglasses and that set me back $ 700… 15 YEARS AGO. Now off to a nice pricey lunch. :-)

I went to For Eyes on a Saturday, looking for my first pair of bifocals. There were three other groups in there looking at glasses. One of the first things I noticed was that, aside for the «2 for $ 99» frames, the majority of the glasses I tried on were filthy. I had four pair in my hand that I wanted to try on, but needed them cleaned in order to really see what they looked like on. I told one of the workers that the lenses were dirty, and she gave me some spray and tissues so I could clean them myself! I finally decided on a pair of frames, and went to the counter. There were two workers there at that time. One was on the computer, and the other was with a family who was waiting while their teenage son looked at the frames. It took almost 15 minutes for the guy on the computer to finish up and help me (the teenage boy was still looking at frames). I knew there was a Groupon for Fir Eyes, so I asked the salesperson to tell me how much the glasses would cost with my insurance discount, as well as with the Groupon. He wrote down both price quotes — and even wrote down «with Groupon» next to the (much) lower price. I went home and purchased a Groupon, and returned on Sunday to buy the glasses. I went to the sa, e salesman, and handed him his price quote (it had the numbers for my frames, etc.) and the Groupon. He then proceeded to tell me that the price would be $ 200 higher because I would need different lenses, and a warranty package in order to use the Groupon. I reminded him that the price he quoted was for the Groupon, but he didn’t get it. I then asked to speak with the manager. The manager had been sitting two desks down the whole time, and had not intervened. When I went over to him, he just said, «Yeah, I heard the whole thing. Just get your money back from Groupon. Goodbye.» I left there furious! And, no, you cannot just «get your money back from Groupon.» You can get a credit, but not your money back. With the Groupon, For Eyes was the highest priced place of all four of the different optical stores I stopped in. And the service was horrendous!

I’ve been going to this particular For Eyes for a few years now and really enjoy my doctor, Dr. D’Angelo.
I’m writing specifically today to praise Claire for her help over the weekend. I stopped in to purchase a pair of the theatrical contacts for my Halloween costume and Claire was extremely helpful. Even though she couldn’t find the exact custom contacts I wanted, she continued to search. She even called the lab, and 2 or 3 other locations to ask for assistance on how to find these contacts.
There was another clerk, and I can’t remember her name right now, but she was the exact opposite of Claire. Claire suggested calling the lab and the clerk said, «Good luck getting in touch with them». Then Claire told me she would call them again first thing Monday morning, the same clerk repeated, «Good luck». I believe she said it a third time in response to something similar when I finally told her that it wasn’t a very positive attitude and she laughed and told me she was only saying it because Monday is a holdiay. I was not laughing. Claire didn’t seem to pay her any mind.
I don’t think she understood the concept of customer service and for someone like me who works in customer service, I know that customers don’t appreciate that negativity. I’m glad I was originally working with Claire from the beginning and she continued to go the extra mile for me, taking both my personal and work numbers down and clearly determined to do whatever it took to get me exactly what I wanted.

Let’s go back to 1998 for a moment here because that’s when this girl got glasses. Yup! So what, it’s been 13 years since I’ve been a For Eyes customer. Do I get an award for that? I think I get an award.
Wow. really. I can’t believe it.
So, what can I say wrong about the place that I’ve continued to do business with even after being of age to change doctors if I wanted to? Nothing.
The staff is fantastic, I see the same ladies all the time as I have growing up and that is comforting. Dr D’Angelo is and awesome guy; quick and efficient. I rarely spend more than 10 – 15 minutes from start to finish in there unless I go early or stay after to browse the glasses selection.
I’ve had personal eye troubles and I can no longer wear contacts (I used to!), which stinks but he’s helped me try all sorts of brands to try and wear but unfortunately it hasn’t worked. I’ll actually be trying a punctual plug thing soon, hopefully I can do contacts!
Located on route one south more on the north side like if you passed Christmas Tree Shop and before the Salvation Army; that little plaza there with the 9s.
I TOTALLY recommend For Eyes to anyone in the market for an eye doctor. The glasses prices are some-​what reasonable. I’ve done my fair share of glasses shopping and always try and compare their stock to others; For Eyes has both the cheap selection and the pricey selection and all in-​between. They offer anything that any other eye glasses place would have; final prices always depend on your insurance though so just know what your plan offers.
