It’s my 3rd visit here. I love when businesses have actual doctors performing eye exams. After a very cheap place on Ming Ave gave me a wrong eye RX years ago, I don’t trust places that run exams without an optometrist, which I am learning many eye exam places in town don’t actually have. They have a preliminary eye health exam with an assistant and then you move to the Doctor for a dedicated and personalized exam. They are prompt and the Doctor is so knowledgeable and able to run you through your options. I would recommend this business highly.
