Dr. Melcher graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelors of Science in Business, then went on to Nova Southeastern University to receive her Doctor of Optometry degree in 1999. During her education she completed three externships, the first being the study of low vision and low vision aides from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami.
Being from a medical background, Tania loves helping people and will assist you in frame selection, educating you on the latest most custom options for your eyewear, and taking precise measurements.

Our Vision is Your Vision! This means that we dedicate our practice to making sure that you are able to see clearly and easily everything that your busy life demands. Enhancing and preserving your sight is our practice philosophy. Our vision is to combine the private practice with the corporate selection and convenience.
Vision is arguably the most important of the five senses; it plays a crucial role throughout childhood and beyond. Yet many parents don't understand how vision helps their children develop appropriately. Use these articles to proactively care for your child's eyes, spot potential trouble, and maximize the opportunity for crisp, convenient and healthy vision.
Your visit is considered a routine eye examination when the main reason is to update your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, as long as you are not having any other medical problems with your eyes. In this case, the exam is covered by your vision plan, not your medical insurance.

If the main reason for your visit is due to medical problems with your eyes such as glaucoma, allergies, cataracts, dry eyes, diabetes, trauma, iritis, floaters, or macular degeneration, then your medical insurance is billed.Medical issues are not covered by most vision plans. Our office combines the highest level of eyecare, with a stylish optical in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Awesome optometrist. I came in to get a prescription because one of my eyes were feeling irritated when I was wearing my contact lenses. Dr. Victoria Melcher knew what my problem was immediately. She was pretty thorough in her examination. I'll be back here for my yearly eye exams.

These two ladies have treated my entire family over the last 25 yrs ( even before they started this practice) from my twin daughters which they both brought in their spouses. We will not trust anyone else to care for our eyes. They are the most caring Eye doctors I have ever experienced .

Dr.'s Potter and Melcher always take their time in examining my vision, checking the health of my eyes and explaining the results in terms I can understand. The staff is always pleasant and are really experts in helping you find the prefect set of glasses!

The Drs are great but the customer service is just horrible! How can the Dr not see that? They are rude, they just want to be chatting and they get mad if you interrupt them, they really don’t care about you. In the past they had a lady called Ashley, she was simply awesome with the customers. Sadly we won’t be back to this place, it’s a shame that a good office goes downhill because of customer service.

I’m new to the area and needed an OD. Dr Potter went above & beyond to explain things to me during my visit. She was extremely patient. She took her time and never made me feel rushed during my appointment. She is kind, caring, and compassionate. She welcomes open discussion of questions/concerns and is personable & easy to talk to. She has a… professional bedside manner and is extremely thorough in her examinations. I appreciate both her candor and calm demeanor in delivering medical results. She takes pride in her work and is attentive to her patients’ needs. Plus she

My family loves Eye Designs Vision. My husband and I predominantly see Dr Potter. She is one of the most caring doctors and you can tell she really wants to help your vision be as clear as it can get. (She takes a lot of time with me getting just the right contact lenses RX, because I like to see far and sharp!) She does a very thorough exam making sure the eyes are healthy. I feel like I’m visiting with an old friend when I go for my yearly eye exam. I wouldn’t hesitate to send anyone to either Dr Potter or Dr Melcher.

They are thorough and professional. This is the best eye doctor. They don’t pressure to sell you things you don’t need. They take the time to make sure they have the best prescription for your eyes. I love that they spend as much time as needed in the room and it’s not a quick in and out. I’ve gone there for years and I love them. They have very accommodating appointment times and days for your schedule. The office is clean and modern.

I've been wearing Gas Permeable Contact Lenses for over 40 years. If you are looking for someone that can help you with contact lenses - Dr Potter at Eye Designs Vision is the one to "see". This was my first visit and I walked out with a huge smile on my face. The whole experience was pleasant, from the receptionist to the pre-exam testing to they eye exam. Dr. Potter actually took the time to listen to what I wanted and nothing was rushed. That's extremely rare these days, and not my experience elsewhere. Dr Potter's patience, attention to detail, and hand holding were second to none. I have an

Thorough from beginning to end. I got new contact lenses because the old prescription was way off...I thought i had to live with sub par vision as I'm not getting any younger. With the right doctor, I got the right prescription and the right contacts and glasses with very helpful people. Never felt like I was being "sold" anything. I see so much better now...and am glad to support a local office rather than chain. Costs are quite similar frankly. thank you!

Horrible customer service, one employee says one thing when another says a different thing. Was told my glasses were under warranty and I just needed to buy lenses, when I came back to buy my lenses they said my glasses were never under warranty. Didn’t do anything to try to help, just overall bad service. Would not recommend.

Patient for over 10 years. They ruin my glasses and make you feel like it’s your fault. Great docs. Horrible staff. Moving on!

My wife and I have been customers since they opened in their original location. Must say I’m very disappointed in there lack of customer service. I had an appointment scheduled 3 weeks ago and got a call less than 24 hours from my scheduled appointment saying that they weren’t set up with my insurance and were working on getting set up. I was upset… that this happened and wasn’t informed earlier since I had changed my schedule to be able to make my appointment. I was told that I could reschedule which I did for this coming Saturday. I called yesterday to see if they made
