Optometrists near Delmar

“I just moved to Delmar and needed a local optician to get my contacts prescription and refill. I was very impressed with the whole team. Very quick and easy to get an appointment, quick and easy “onboarding”, less than two minutes wait when I arrived for the appointment, and the doc was very friendly, kept me fully informed the whole time I was there. My new prescription is probably the best I’ve ever had, and … there was no attempt at “Upselling.’ We’ve all gone through it - you get there (not just in health care) and they try to sell you everything under the sun. Not at Hughes opticians. In fact, the doc recommended against certain things given my eyes and my prescription.

Stated differently I felt like the whole team cared about me and my eyes, not just on a sale. I will DEFINITELY go back.

I’ve moved a lot and had to switch eye doctors a lot. At the last one I was at in another state, it was like an assembly line…and they added every fee they could.. in fact, they charged a $35 dollar “fitting fee”. And there was nothing to fit! My contacts had to be specially ordered, and when they arrived they just handed them to me and sent me on my way. So why the $35 fitting fee? Precisely.

Not at Hughes…pricing was very straightforward - when I was checking out I actually asked the person helping me:“are you sure you calculated that correctly?!?” The price for the exam and one year’s worth of contacts just seemed way lower than I’ve paid before! And no fitting fee!

The whole experience felt real, authentic - not just a transaction. Thanks Hughes!“

“Great local place! They take Davis Vision and got me an appointment within the same week. Staff is pleasant to work with and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.“

“I went for LASIK surgery because without my contacts I was basically blind (-10 with astigmatism in one eye and - 9.75) and it worked wounders. Four days after surgery I now have 20/25 and 20/20 vision. Dr. Christopher Gabriels is fantastic and so is his staff.“

“I was greeted by friendly staff. Place was clean and sanitized. I was given a thorough exam. All my questions and concerns were answered. Would highly recommend.“

“From the consultation, surgery, and follow up appointment, nothing but a positive experience. Extremely professional and personable. Highly recommended.“

“The ladies that work here are great and are excellent at making little kids feel comfortable when shopping for their glasses.“

“Had a fantastic experience with everyone at the practice and they got me in and out in a timely manor. If you are looking for a place with a large selection and fancy equipment, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a place with great people who genuinely care and a hometown feel, you found it. Very professional and very clean.“

“Dr Brass is phenomenal explains everything to you. Makes you feel very comfortable. Had 6 coronial abrasions in one eye! Came in on a holiday to make sure I wasn’t in pain any longer.“

“I have been using Dr Gabriels since moving to Albany several years ago. As a retired nurse I have observed a decline in the quality and attention given to patients by many doctors. Doctor Gabriels is an exception to this trend. He gives a thorough exam and takes the time to answer questions and concerns. I feel confident in his skill and years of experience.“

“Dr. Berger was thorough and explained everything he did very clearly. He limits the number of patients he sees so he can provide very individualized care. The staff is very pleasant and the office was pristine. They had a good selection of frames at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend Dr. Berger for your eye care needs.“

“This was by far the most pleasant experience with a doctor I have ever had. I went in early to fill out paperwork and the front end was amazing. They explained everything that needed to be filled out and was really nice. Then I went back with Dr. Vuong. He is the most approachable professional I have met. He was very nice and explained things in detail during my appointment. I was very anxious about my eye exam and he helped with it all! I recommend this entire practice to anyone.“

“Both my husband and I have had very good experiences here. They are caring and any errors that are made they are quick to remedy.“

“I highly recommend this place. Dr. Pokabla is top notch. I came to him with an emergency and he and his student could not do enough to make sure I was okay. A lot of people complain about the wait time, but it’s worth it. He spends time with his patients and doesn’t rush them out. A+++ practice“

“Ive come here for eyeglasses several times. I’m very happy with the service. My glasses are really cute. The price was lower than many other places too. Chris is so kind.“

“Excellent experience. Has improved greatly over years past. Love the on demand doctor and the upgraded tech. It was so easy start to finish. And the team members were so friendly“

“Just moved to the area and needed to get my eyes checked. It was SO easy to get started. One phone call, and there was an opening within just a few weeks.Friendly service, quick turnaround, kind and attentive doctor through appointment. He directly addressed all my questions until I was satisfied that I understood all of the answers.I’m planning to bring my whole family to this practice.“

“I’ve been a customer for over 30 years and that’s because when it comes to customer service and eye care there is no place better in our region“

“Great customer service from the doctor and doctor. The phone staff can be hit or miss. I've called a few times some workers are short and rude while some are kind and helpful“

“Staff was lovely and so was the doctor. They put a lot of care into taking care of your needs. The inside is a little dated and could probably use an update, which makes it look old. But overall I would recommend for an eye doctor“

“Amy was super kind and helped repair my glasses while explaining a manufacturers issue to me.“

“I had my annual exam today with Dr. Kristina Lynch-Guyette. She is an extremely knowledgeable ophthalmologist with a wonderful bedside manner. She explains everything in detail and answers any questions. My technician was Paul and, I think, he was one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. He explained everything and took his time. Kudos to the Albany Eye Associates for their wonderful staff.“

“The staff at the Latham store is FANTASTIC. I think this will be my permanent location.“

“Great place although I personally feel like they're a bit to close to Target or Staples it's a bit too confusing honestly“

“I’ve been here twice with glasses emergencies. Both times was in and out within 20 minutes with my expectations exceeded. First time glasses were broken, was told by another place that i had to get a jeweler to solder them and that they wouldn’t attempt to help. Again was in and out of walmart with the repair made within 20minutes. Second time my frames were snapped in half. Was told by two other places that they would have to order me frames and that it would be about 2-3 weeks. I was in and out of walmart within 20 minutes again with new frames for $9!! I didn’t need anything special as i have an appt with the VA in 2 weeks but cannot go without seeing for that long. Great customer service!!!“

“Would very much recommend going to Visionworks in Slingerlands. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful and professional. They went the extra mile to make sure I liked what I was purchasing. It was a very relaxing visit. Thanks to everyone at Visionworks it was a smooth and quick visit.“

“From the moment I walked through the doors of the EastGreenbush location, the gentleman at the front was kind & helpful. Then, the person who helped me order my frames was very informative and respectful of my needs. The overall environment was sensory pleasing & welcoming.
Thank you very much.“
