I would highly recommend EyeWink. I was made to feel very comfortable, service was quick and efficient, the advice was sound. The Dr. was really friendly and carefully explained everything. I left feeling like this was a place I would definitely go back to. My only concern was that on of the employees, a very helpful and welcoming person, did not really wear a mask - he had it under his chin. Other than that - a fantastic place.

I was very pleased with my visit. This is a family run business and it shows. They are friendly, folksy, and fun. One of the best prices (if not the best) for a thorough exam. Dr Michael Farr was really relatable and pleasant. Highly recommend. 10 stars!

I had an amazing experience today at Eye Wink. Dr. Farr was amazing and very patient as I was doing a contact fitting. The staff was super friendly and Diana was also amazing in helping me choose a great pair of glasses in my price range. I will definitely be recommending friends and family. Thank you for a great experience!

I took eye exam at this store but they gave me wrong prescription.. They put a typo in my prescription. At the result, I bought a wrong glasses. It was so time wasting for me. They are not professional totally. If you hope high quality service, you should not go there. Please be careful.

Online it says "49.95 eye exams". When you pay it becomes 60. I asked about this discrepancy and they said the 49.95 price is only for people who buy glasses from them!! (it doesn't say this anywhere on the website). However it does say this in fine print on a sandwich board outside the store!! (this is called a 'bait and switch' and is something I don't appreciate).
In addition to this. They refused to provide a pupillary distance. They said they would do it if I bought glasses from them - but would not otherwise (this is a 2 minute procedure with a ruler). The optometrist

Anna and team took great care of my family and I...the prices are great and it also feels nice when a family run business cares so much about its customers. This will definitely be the only optician and optometrist we visit from now on. Thank you!

I found this place online while looking for cheap eye exams. I received a very warm welcome from the floor staff. The optometrist was kind, and worked quickly and effectively. The eye exam is $60. They put new prescription lenses in frames I already had for $80, and it only took an hour.
