Cataract surgery is one of the safest and the most successful operations performed today. For many, hearing the word "surgery" may be scary, but once you understand what cataract surgery is and the life changing benefits it can provide, you should look forward to it. The following information is meant to help you make that decision.

With years of combined experience in LASIK, PRK and other forms of vision correction procedures, we have developed safety standards and indicators for all aspects of care and service, resulting in outstanding surgical results for our patients.
The need for eyeglasses or contacts is definitely not the only reason to schedule an appointment with our optometrists. The American Academy of Optometry shares that periodic eye and vision examinations are an important part of preventive health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms, so you might not know a problem exists.

I honestly can't remember the name of the people I saw. But each person was very nice and professional from check in to the intitial exam to the doctors exam to the check out. I had no long waits. Everything was explained to me as they did it. Doctor was available for all my questions. Great experience.

Dr. Thompson is my SAVIOR. I had something stuck in my eye and I am TERRIBLY squeamish when it comes to eye stuff. I was so freaked out but she, her assistants, and the whole staff made me feel at ease. They got me in immediately and fixed my eye right up. Dr. Thompson was so nice, honest, efficient, caring, and just an overall superstar. (She even laughed at my jokes which I truly appreciate.) THANK YOU ACCESS EYE FOR RESTORING MY FAITH IN DOCTORS AND FOR SAVING MY CORNEA.

This was my initial appointment with this provider after having been seen by a previous provider for a number of years due to a change in my Medicare plan. I was seen for an annual diabetic eye exam , and was extremely impressed with the practice and it’s services. Everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and professional. I would like to note that the tech, Tim, who worked with me was especially through and made a procedure which could be daunting very pleasant. I would whole heartedly recommend the provider.

My husband and I love the entire staff at this location. Everyone is personable, nice and professional. We have had different people every time and are extremely happy with the care and service we receive at all aspects of our visit. The women who have helped us pick our glasses are awesome and have never steered us wrong picking glasses.

The service here was awesome from the time you walk in at the receptionist desk to see the practitioner, then the doctor, and lastly with the kind person that assisted us in finding our glasses. Their Covid procedure was also great ensuring you don’t have to come in contact with anymore people than you have to. Dr. Thompson was very knowledgeable! The practitioner and doctor were great with my children. I am going to recommend everyone to come here.

I called to make a regular appointment back back in July. The day I was scheduled to go a dangerous storm came up and I found it unsafe to travel. I called them the next day and they said I could set another appointment. At that time I was informed that Dr. Coleman had retired and I was seeing another doctor and they no longer took my eye care insurance. When I made my first appointment I was never told that he retired and I was given a new doctor. I told them how disappointed I was that I was not given a choice and they had no right to just assign me a new doctor without allowing me the privilege

My annual eye appointment was painless to make and handled all online. Arriving at the facility, they take COVID-19 protocols very seriously, I greatly appreciated it. The front receptionist Jessica was friendly and professional. Tina, the assistant, who takes you back, looks at your glasses and previous prescriptions, does the initial eye exam and the glaucoma prep was very professional, knowledgeable, cleaning after I left the room to meet Dr. Thompson. This was the first. time meeting with Dr. Thompson. She went over my eye history and made sure I understood the changes in eyes. She was very

Would not recommend this location at all. The front desk and person helping with finding glasses is the worst. Ive been calling with the promise to receive a call back every time ive called for the past 3 weeks. No1 has reached put and when i call no1 seems to know what is going on. Now with the virus going on its even harder and I'm just frustrated. This is for a case that I was supposed to receive when i bought my glasses and have received nothing but the runaround. Please check your cases when you receive your eyewear. They will give you a off brand case to not match the brand of glasses

My wife scratched her cornea, and was given a contact lens to cover the injury. At two follow up visits, we were charged $124.00 each time to "remove foreign object from eye" on top of all other charges for the follow up. When I called to discuss the fact that she never had a foreign object in her eye, I was informed that the charge was to pop the contact lens out. I take my contact lenses out every night, and it's not a procedure that should be charged for at all, let alone $124.

Dr. Tracy Dzibela is terrific. I've had more than my share of eye infections during this past year, so I've been to see her a couple of times. She is very personable and thorough in her examinations. She is also very knowledgeable, and I feel comfortable being in her care. Also, the technician who saw me first, Robert, was great as well. I had no trouble getting an appointment to see her, and I didn't wait long at all after my arrival at the office to be seen. My past visits worked out the same way, efficiently. I highly recommend Dr. Dzibela and staff at Access Eye.

I visited twice, one for an issue I was having and the other was a follow up. Didn't have a great experience, the staff was very kind and friendly however, Dr. Deas was curt and condescending. I left from there thinking maybe she was having a bad day. The follow up visit was no better. She seemed irritated and rushed like I was an idiot and the issues I was having were no big deal. I left there very disappointed with no answers and a coupon for some eye drops.

Beware....They don't deserve even one star!! My 78 year old mother went to Access Eye for new glasses. It was a horrible experience to say the least! She was given a new prescription May 5 at which time she was also told she had the very beginning of cateracts. The doctor said it was too early to be concerned and that they should not cause any problems yet. Because her insurance doesn't cover her vision she has to pay cash for the exam and glasses. She chose to use her old frames and was going to buy lenses only, for two pair ($936 plus the eye exam.) When her glasses came in she told

Awful Awful Awful!!
The physician was rude, the service felt rushed, and the tech insulted me. I will never return. As a nurse I know what to expect from professionals in my field of work and then was behind the lowest I've ever encountered at this particular office.

Thanks Michelle for looking into my complaints. It's greatly appreciated.
1. I personally didn't see the looks from the attendant but my daughter l did and I'm not sure why she would have to tell a story about that, maybe you didn't look at the right camera.

My wife and I've been patients for many years and have always received the highest level of care...both of us have gotten quick access to their doctors in emergency situations. They are not afraid to make referrals when specialized expertise is necessary...for example, they referred my wife to a specialist in Richmond for an eye lens replacement and the surgery went very well...

Horrible experience.
This was my 2nd time at Access Eye (1st at this location) I thought it would be a better experience than my 1st but it was just as bad or worse!
Customer service is horrible everyone was rude. I put in the contacts the Dr. Gave me and told her they hurt. She snappes at me and said "take them out, wash them and put them back in." I told her I did and she said "well do it again."
Finally she gave me a new pair after looking at my red eye because the lense was torn.
I wish I never went there, such a horrible experience. I do not recommend going to any of

It has taken me a while to write this, but I wanted to share my good experience at Access Eye with everyone. For as long as I remember, I have had very poor eyesight and have needed very strong eyeglasses to be able to do just about anything everybody else just takes for granted. Growing up and going through elementary and later high school, I have always looked with envy at my classmates who weren't handicapped as I was by needing such awful, heavy eyeglasses.
When I moved to Fredericksburg in my late 20's, I used to go to Access near the corner of Rt1 and Rt 17. I think it was called
