Scheffel's Eye Care Center
We have resumed scheduling appointments for eye exams! We are taking extreme precaution to ensure the safety of our patients and staff. Reducing the number of patients seen per hour. Thorough cleaning of our instruments. Cleaning frames after each individual patient has tried them on. Wiping down surfaces (tables, chairs, and door handles) after patients have interacted with them.

Our staff and doctors will all have masks. We strongly encourage you to wear a face mask to enter the office, but due to the close proximity of our exam services it is required during an eye exam. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us at DrScheffel_Staff@yahoo.com, or call our office during business hours.
Services
Although there are lots of eye doctors to choose from, doesn't it make sense to pick one with the experience and longevity of Dr. Scheffel? The Eye Care Center has been in practice for over 60 years in Lakewood. The staff of doctors and assistants have a combined total of over 100 years experience in taking care of eyes just like yours.
Dr. Scheffel's Eye Care Center has a new, cutting edge technology for patients seeking the best in optometric precision for progressive add lenses and personalized care. Visioffice, by Essilor, delivers breakthrough results in vision-measurement technology by using 3D measurements, providing the most accurate eye-lens positioning and visual-behavior calculations available.
For many people, contact lenses provide optimal convenience and satisfying vision correction. A comprehensive eye exam comes first, before being fitted with contact lenses. In this exam, your eye doctor determines your prescription for corrective lenses (which is just your eye glass prescription at this point) and checks for any heath problems or other issues that may interfere with successful contact lens wear.
Purchase polycarbonate lenses together with an anti-reflective coating or polarized sunglass tint and save up to 50% on your total lens* costs! Offer is only for purchases of LENSES and not for FRAMES. FRAME must be purchased or provided by patient. Purchase first pair of glasses at regular price (any frame and a pair of lenses) and receive 50% off the 2nd pair with the same prescription.
Appearance, personal taste and lifestyle should all be considered when choosing eyewear. Dr. Scheffel's Eye Care Center can help you choose frames and lenses that complement your appearance and meet your lifestyle needs. Eyeglasses are more popular now than ever. Frames are noted as fashion accessories, with different colors and styles available to match your wardrobe.

A comfortable and clean environment with friendly and efficient staff. I was pleased by the promptness of the start of my care. The doctor, tech, and manager were all courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I always enjoy the service provided to me. I have recommended this office to many of my friends and family.

Please beware, this is there policy so it can happen to you. My daughter has been a patient here for years, she recently went there for an exam and of course had to get new glasses (the Dr kept pressuring her to get new frames) which she declined. She received a call today advising her they broke her frames and she would need to pay $109.00 for new ones, my daughter did not have the money, she already had paid $300.00. During this time when so many people are struggling and she was a very devoted patient, why not the office as good business pay the $109.00. They advised it almost never happens

Dr. Tang is amazing! One night I rubbed my eyes and felt like an eyelash fell into my eye. I put some artificial tears in and tried to look for one, but couldn't find it. There was this painless discomfort I felt inside my upper eyelid for a day and a half before I decided I should see someone to make sure I didn't have a corneal abrasion.

Decided to see Dr. Tang at this office. He is professional, friendly, and efficient. He put some dye into both eyes to see if I had any scratches on the cornea (no). He proceeded to flip my upper eyelid up, and looked exactly where I told him I felt

Been using these guys for years, the eye doctors are great.
Their kids glasses are of inferior quality and they do not offer any type of insurance as found at most other places.
They did replace the frames after 2 months when they fell apart the first time. When I returned today after 4 months to ask about a warranty because of a defective piece they told me it would cost $107 to replace the frames.
I cannot afford that every few months because the frames they sold me are of inferior quality.
She smiled and offered a 20% discount so $87 to replace defective merchandise.
UPDATE: found the same

I went to this eye center to order some simple glasses since my insurance had just started up. I was greeted by the front desk office staff who was extremely warm and welcoming. I let her know what I needed and she let me know if I had any questions to reach back out to her. Sometimes it's nice to not be babysat in these eye places, especially when you know what you want. I ended up ordering a pair of Ray Bans and felt very good with the service i received.

I would definitely recommend coming here!

My son and I needed a routine eye exam. The phone receptionist verified my insurance and helped me schedule an appt pretty easily, no issues at all. The office was nice and well kept inside. We came in on a Saturday and the receptionist and vision techs were all friendly, they used three different machines to test our vision during both of our eye exams. Dr. Tang was friendly, attentive and patient with my 6 or old who was there for his very first eye exam. Anadelle (hope i spelled that right) was also nice and provided an easy eyeglass ordering experience. There were plenty of frames to choose

Felt like their only patient. Was able to get a quick appointment. When I was there they made sure they took care of anything and everything that I would need. Was able to find a pair of glasses that I liked. Overall experience was the best for an eye care facility that I'd ever had. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Very good service. I came in with my wife and daughter. They saw all three of us quickly (we had appointments). They seemed very knowledgeable and experienced at their profession.

After the exam was over they took their time helping my wife pick out a couple of pairs of sunglasses. They also helped me find the right glasses.

After I left and I felt my prescription was off, so I called and they were very helpful. They booked me for an appointment at my earliest convenience. The doctor saw me and checked my current prescription as well as the one they gave me. She tweaked some things and I was

I would never go here again or suggest this eye doctor to anyone.After my 1st visit I waited 2 weeks to receive my eye glasses.
Visit 2: Upon receiving them I noticed that something was off but thought to myself "Hey I may just need to adjust to the prescription." After leaving I drove home with the glasses on and began to feel one of the worse headaches I ever felt. The very next day I brought them back only to find out that the glasses were not centered for my eyes which caused my eyes to flex in the wrong direction which caused my headaches.
Visit 3: After another 2 weeks had passed I returned

I have never before felt the need to write a review negative or positive. But this experience was so horrendous I had to to warn customers. Worst eye glass experience in my entire life and I have been wearing glasses since the 3rd grade and I am now 30 years old.
I came to this location because my Aunt has been a customer for several years and I was in need of glasses fast because my cousin sat on my old frames and I couldn't get them to bend properly back in place. The location is clean my appointment was same day (appt on 2/8/17) and they saw me very quickly. Additionally, I was informed that

EXTREMELY rude staff at this office. Came in to browse their glasses and an employee named Shelly could not get off her phone from whatever she was watching. I asked for help and she gave me a snotty attitude (obviously I was disrupting her.) Left without buying anything, and I will definitely not be back.

Dr. Tang was super cool. I went here just to get a new prescription for contact lenses. At first I was wary of their Dailies free trial. But then I realized that with all the rebates and the cost for contact lens solution, it was more cost-effective for me to get the daily lenses. Dr. Tang was very thorough and also very nice. I'd recommend him to anyone.

HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I bought glasses from this Eye Care Center a while ago, using my vision insurance. This was my first time buying glasses, so I didn't really know what to expect. I found staff at this eye center very rude and unhelpful, so I decided to buy glasses elsewhere this year.


I've learned that Dr. Scheffel's Office outrageously overcharged me for my "designer" glasses (some name brand I've never heard of) while at the same time charging my I insurance. I walked out of there spending $350 out of pocket, on my progressive glasses, in addition

I have been a patient of Dr Scheffel's Eye Care Center for decades, first when owned by Dr Shore. I had VSP insurance with my employer; now a retired, I pay cash. I recently bought a pair of progressive lens eyewear, second this year at Dr Scheffel's. With little selection of sunglasses frames, I chose #7031 Tory Burch at $219, one of the lowest priced frames in the center. The same day I picked up my sunglasses, I saw the identical pair at Macys for $150, who partners with Lens Crafters.
When I called Dr Scheffel's for a price match, I was told that they pay more for their frames and cannot price

I have been going to Dr. Scheffel's for a llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllong time. I love that he takes the time to explain the the differences in my prescription from the previous year.

The staff is attentive, professional and helpful. It is definitely worth my drive to come from OC to Lakewood.
