Love my new glasses

by sccrmom at Citysearch

After looking at other offices in the area for a pair of rx frames (and being disappointed by the ugly frames) I went to this place and I sat down and they asked what color I wanted. I said tortoise and a dozen frames were given to me – none of them ugly! The lady helping me was really honest about what looked good on my face and what did not. I used to hate glasses and just wore my contacts, now I wear my glasses every day.

No more grandma glasses!

I saw Dr. Harris and had a completely different experience than the above pt. I was wearing contacts for distance with the little drugstore cheaters on a chain around my neck. She fit me into one of the new bifocal contact lenses and now I don?t have to wear the old grandma looking glasses. I don?t know why no one ever mentioned it before now! The staff was also very helpful. When I made the appointment, they even knew that I had insurance that covered my eyes because of where I work. I work at the hospital and the insurance company doesn?t send us a separate card for the ?vision? part. Insurance covered most of my exam but their prices seemed to be in line for what I have paid at another office in the area.

• Pros: Helpful with insurance, up on latest styles, friendly staff
• Cons: None

Lake Norman Eye

by soundreview at Citysearch

I went to this eye doctor, Angela Harris, recently and spent 3 times more than I ever spent at Lenscrafters for an exam. The office staff are odd in that I was trying on a pair of contacts and the woman lied about it being the same as the thinner colored contact. I don't like people who lie nor who are controlling. After all that I later decided that I wanted a different color lense. I ordered them online and the doctor would not ok the switch from Fresh Look to Acuvue which is odd because I have worn both of these colored lenses in the past without issue. The reasoning was that she prescribed Fresh Look blue not Acuvue and I couldn't even talk with her on the phone. Talk about controlling. Just so you know the difference between the 2 manufactures is thus: Acuvue B/C 8.7 or 8.3 Diameter 14 and the Freshlook B/C 8.6 Diameter 14.5. My order was not corrective; they were just for fun. At Lenscrafters I was able to order the color I wanted from either of the manufacturers. I wish I had gone to them this time, but I am new to town and won't make this mistake again. In the event you are considering this doctor keep in mind that she is very expensive and will charge you for the slightest change. I asked for a return call from the doctor, but she never returned my call. I wish I could take her to court for a return of my money I wasted on the exam.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Expensive, Staff are odd socially, Not professional
