Ophthalmologist

[workin hard]

I like the place by Starbucks, they were all really nice and the Doc seemed to know her shiat.

The Eye Care Center...The peeps were really nice and I got my glasses in 2 days..

The Doctors there seemed OK, however I disliked the staff that actually constructed my glasses. Wanted a pair of glasses with only distance and midrange prescriptions for driving and the first try included a reading prescription at the bottom. They tried to tell me I can't read without it and I had to reiterate my desire for DRIVING glasses and that I don't do a lot of reading while driving. Ordered the scratch resistant lenses and one summer on the bike rendered them useless. Asked them to buff them out and now they're like starbust camera filters. I'm going back to Bayshore.

I have Cigna and the cover 1 years worth of lenses free.

My plan may not be the same as yours, though.

True. Too bad we can't test drive Dr.'s before we use them!

 

[deino2002]

Yes, they have two.

But you can't just walk in you have to schedule an appointment....I ended up going to Pearl Vision---next to Rt 235 & 4 Only differnce from Wal-mart is I had to wait 3 days for my glasses but was very satisfied

I go to the dude at Target in The Park. And my contacts were very cheap there.

He's great! That's where I go

An ophthalmologist is a physician who specializes in the medical and surgical care of the eyes and visual system and in the prevention of eye disease and injury.

An optomitrist is a physician who evaluates eye care needs and has the ability to write preseriptions for glasses and contacts.

I think you probably just need an optomitrist, and not an ophthalmologist. But nonetheless, all the suggestions that you've received so far are for optomitrists anyway.

 

[Bogart]

Yeah, but you only go there so you can scope out the dudes who shop at Wal-Mart

:cockeyed:

 

[Jameo]

I go to Pearl Vision b/c they accept my insurance, I think it's Dr. McKimmie that I see

I really like McKimmie! VERY,very nice doc!

Dur, that's what I meant.

 

[bluecat]

I go to Bayshore in Hickory Hills. I see Dr. G.

I used to work there and at WalMart vision center.

Dr. G or Dr. Kasmani at Bayshore

 

[Shutterbug]

Does Wal-Mart have an on-site doctor, though? I'd be going on Saturday most likely.

Yes, they do. I think the one doctor's name is Dr. Shields. He was really thorough and very nice.

I've been to Pearle Vision (they're great) and sometimes I go on base...never had a complaint with Pearle, though. Good luck with the contacts, I plan on getting some when I get out of college.

It's cause we knew what she meant but didn't want to make her feel dumb. Good going BG, geez.

The Eye Care Center...The peeps were really nice and I got my glasses in 2 days..

They gave me my contacts that day, I had to go back in a week, they ordered the boxes while I was there and they were ready to be picked up in like a week. I've never had any experience with them and getting glasses. I never update my glasses prescription because I wear my contacts all the time. As long as I can see the TV before bed, the glasses are good :shrug:

 

[Rane]

Dr Heavner at the Target Optical in California is great ! My son and I both see him for our contacts .

 

[czygvtwkr]

For and Optomitrist I second Dr Heavener, I went to him recently and he gave me a perscription that gave me better vision than I have had in my adult life.

If you want an opthamologist you can't beat Dr Lahari in Leonardtown, he is one of the best in the eastern US
