During a complete eye exam, your eye doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health. A comprehensive eye exam includes a number of tests and procedures to examine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision.
According to experts, 80% of learning is visual, which means that if your child is having difficulty seeing clearly, his or her learning can be affected. This also goes for infants who develop and learn about the world around them through their sense of sight.
To ensure that your children have the visual resources they need to grow and develop normally, their eyes and vision should be checked by an eye doctor at certain stages of their development.According to the American Optometric Association (AOA) children should have their eyes examined by an eye doctor at 6 months, 3 years, at the start of school, and then at least every 2 years following.

Dry eye syndrome (DES or dry eye) is a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Its consequences range from minor irritation to the inability to wear contact lenses and an increased risk of corneal inflammation and eye infections. Persistent dryness, scratchiness and a burning sensation on your eyes are common symptoms of dry eye syndrome.

I needed a fast appointment and Century Eye Care got me in within a week, which is amazing. As a bonus when I arrived for my appointment the staff graciously, immediately tightened my glasses that had been falling off my face. The appointment was right on time and each of the 4 different staff including the doctor were incredibly professional, kind, and friendly. On top of that the doctor set me up with 5 different things to try for my eye condition. I highly reccomend them.

I had a pair of glasses done by them after their hard selling of a frame not quite fit. It was very uncomfortable and I requested changing to another frame and remaking the glasses. They did that with a surprised service charge and not willing to take it away. I ended up dispute the charge through credit card company. After that , they erased my purchase record. I went with high end lenses and later there were scratches and they refused to honor their promise and said we have no record. This is a dishonest store. Be aware and avoid visiting them like plague.

The staff is very unprofessional, and are only nice to people that the insurance will pay for their service. I had made an appointment, and apparently the new person was not trained properly, and I actually had to be the spokesperson for the appt. Got a call 3 days before my appt and was told that they could not do the exam because it had to be a medical issue. I have had problems with them 2 years ago, but it was resolved. They were sending me text messages, saying that I needed to schedule? They need to update there system, and not be so interested in making money, verses your eye care. I will

I'm on Medicaid (VSP) currently and I made extra sure on the phone that they accept this kind of insurance. However when I went in, I was told that they no longer accept Medicaid. Although they were slightly apologetic, they seemed more eager to pass the blame onto the person who had scheduled my appointment. I found it surprising that even though the error was made on their end, there was no offer of help or follow up for people who may have been put in a difficult situation due to lack of knowledge and communication within the clinic.
I'm unsure where the miscommunication happened, but I hope

I had an eye exam and bought brand new glasses and lenses about 5 months ago, paid $445 w/insurance. And my original experience was great. 5 star. I bent them a month after I got them brought them back and got them corrected free of charge. Laura was awesome. Then less then a month ago I bent them way outta shape. I came back hoping Laura can fix them and she couldn’t so I had to pay $95 to get the hinges replaced. Was told it takes a week. I called 2 weeks later and was RUDELY told it takes a month and was hung up on. Then not even a week later Laura calls me and says you glasses are ready.

MY insurance changed vision plans so I was forced to leave my eye Dr of many years, Called them they wouldn't even schedule appt without info had to get medical info etc. Get to appt Dr Ngo is GREAT. I'm excited so I schedule my honey for appt. All is well. They will follow up in 4 days... We are 2 weeks out and I call them today, follow up and customer service is terrible, they won't help if you don't get glasses from them. I can't afford $400-$1000 for 1 pair of glasses, I had to get progressive and not sure if they are correct. Also he tried mono vision contacts, not sure if working their response
