I had an emergency that I needed to be seen for and had never been seen by them before. The staff was incredibly helpful and they were able to see me within a couple hours of calling. My needs were met and they did what they could to help me and give me answers.

I have always enjoyed my appointments with Dr. Powers - she is very thorough and professional. The reason I just cannot recommend this office anymore is because of the front desk staff.
I arrived at 1:20 for a 1:30 appointment, allowing myself an hour for time and wasn’t told until I went to the receptionist desk at 2:20 to inquire that there was an emergency appointment that morning. When I asked the receptionist why she didn’t notify me of this earlier by phone or at least when I walked in she became very cold and rude and told me I could reschedule.
To be honest, after thinking about this

Professional and friendly service before, during, and after the appointment. I especially like that they provide a web portal for you to access the appointment details and findings.

After relocating I was in need of a new eye doctor. Making an appointment was easy, the receptionist was pleasant and helpful and the opthalmic tech was extremely nice and punctual. Dr. Powers performed my exam and she was thorough and professional, I felt extremely confident in her skill and accuracy regarding my exam. Contact prices were competitive with online prices as well. Highly recommend the practice!

Dr. Lanter performed PRK on me about 6 months ago and I'm thrilled with the results. I didn't experience pain during or after the procedure, and he made sure I had all the info I needed ahead of time to feel comfortable and ready. Only wish I'd done it sooner!

I went here for a second opinion and they were great!! Very attentive to my needs and made me feel very comfortable. I needed to be refered out to a retina specialist and Ashley made the process so much easier!! I’ve had a terrible time with other places. Highly recommend them for eye care.

It’s very unfortunate that Lanter expires eyeglass prescriptions after a year. In the past I haven’t gotten an eye exam yearly. My sight rarely changes. Generally every two years has been good for me. I needed to buy some glasses in an emergency situation while on vacation. I called Lanter to get a copy of the prescription and NOPE. Expired. You would think an emergency situation would have made some difference but military receptionist, now way. . I realize the Optimetrists need to get patients in as often as possible to increase their $$. The Recptionist claimed it was against the law to

I had PRK surgery about 8 months ago at Lanter Eyecare and I couldn't be happier with my vision. Their team met with me several times and through these exams we decided that PRK would be a better fit than LASIK. I was extremely nervous about the longer recovery, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat (and I wish I would've done it sooner)!

I'm not going to lie, it's scary having your eyes operated on while you're awake, but the doctors were very attentive to how I was doing throughout the procedure. There wasn't any pain, just some discomfort, and it was over in
