Optometrists near Rensselaer

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“First time coming here. Very professional and friendly group. Martin and the two front desk ladies are great. I'm very pleased to find knowledgeable and efficient staff I can rely on. Happy to business here. My partner has been here twice and has great service.“

“Always excellent services here, just wish better affordable prescription sunglasses options.“

“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“

“The staff here are excellent. They went out of their way to explain everything and really made me feel comfortable. i would not go anywhere else. Friendly comfortable place!!!“

“I had a not-so-good experience at Vision Works and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Stack. So glad I did! He was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I just picked up my glasses and WOW! What a difference. I can now see much clearer!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just had an eye exam and got new glasses....glasses are perfect and the personnel was awesome. Going back for sunglasses ?“

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

“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!“

“The best part of Vision Works is the person was extremely knowledgeable, so she was very helpful told me all my options went over them until I was satisfied with understanding what I would be purchasing. She was also very pleasant, and professional. I would strongly recommend.“

“Doctor Gabriel’s and his staff are just fantastic.
I have been coming to their practice when it was Forrest Gabriel’s and now to his son Christopher Gabriel’s who saved my eyesight and treats me like a friend more than a doctor.
His wife Anne does the testing and Joan and the other gal take care of the office.
I can highly recommend them for your eye care needs.“

“Albany Eye Associates is the best eye practice I have ever been to. At first I thought not, but with recent developments that they are going to attempt to Prior Authorize the medications I asked for- (instead of Restatis) I feel at ease, even with my dry eye being uncomfortable, painful, and just plainly put: an unbearable situation combined with my eye allergies and other atopic disease's that I have. Dr. Jordan Kassoff, MD is a really good personable doctor and an attentive eye specialist for dry eye disease. I recommend Albany Eye Associates to the people in the Albany area and surrounding communities that are in need of eye care and also to all my friend's and my family. Great job ?%!!! I am so glad to have received their help!“

“Laura and Morgan were exceptionally helpful and joyful to be around. They made my experience fun and welcoming while getting me exactly what I needed in my glasses. I will be a returning.“

“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.“

“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“

“Really exceptional service here — professional, experienced, and informed. I also really appreciate Donna’s help with selecting the right frames, sizing, and lens options. LFV makes it easy; thank you!“

“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.“

“Staff and Dr were kind, knowledgeable, effective, quick about it, and warm. A++
Calling sorts to useless automation and basically nowhere. Just go in.“

“Place is excellent. I've been in for several visits and an eye exams. I'm brand new to needing and wearing glasses. I wish every type of service place was like this.
They are very efficient with walk in assistance and provide prompt and pleasant service. and there are enough places to sit comfortably and not feel crowded.
Tom is an all-star. I believe he is the supervisor. He has helped me many times. I have gone for glasses repairs 3 times now, over a 2 year period and some or most staff are excellent, as is the experience and customer service.“
