Today I had an appointment with Essential Eyes in Columbia. That experience was outstanding. However, they didn't have any eyeglasses that I was interested in purchasing, so they suggested I come here, to Port Royal Eye Care, their sister company. I was promptly greeted by Emily who took plenty of time to assist me in finding the perfect pair of eyeglasses for my new prescription. Additionally I met Dr. Price who was very friendly, professional and helpful. I am so glad I found these two businesses owned by Dr. Price. Great experience. I highly recommend!

I stopped by here for an eye exam. First off, the office staff are amazing: Bella and Emily. But the really amazing thing was the eye doctor. Dr. Mallory. She should be an engineer. She has the most amazing analytical approach to making prescriptions, and explaining everything. Never had an eye exam like this in all my life. She was even able to have me try on the lenses she recommended using a modular glasses kit. These were for viewing computer monitors for work, so she had me test it out on her monitor. This is the most advanced setup I have ever seen. She spent triple the amount of time with me than any other eye doctor. Do not go anywhere else!

Let me see what Allen can do”. A few minutes later Allen came out and my glasses were fixed. He had even cleaned them for me! I opened my wallet to get my credit card to pay, and they said there was no charge.... read full review
