The retina is the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the inner eye that contain photoreceptors to capture light images. The retina then converts these light images into signals that travel through the optic nerve to the brain. Diseases of the retina vary greatly, from common and easily resolved to ones that are difficult to diagnose and treat.
The first time you visit Zeiter Eye Medical Group, you will be given a comprehensive eye examination that includes a consultation with one of our ophthalmologists. During this initial meeting, your current eye-wear prescriptions will be reviewed, and your vision history will be discussed. For returning patients, yearly eye examinations are encouraged.
LASIK, or Laser-Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis, is the most commonly performed vision correction procedure. LASIK can treat nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism by permanently altering the shape of the cornea. There are various techniques used to perform the laser vision correction procedure.

I don't think I have encountered a more rude group of people. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a bad day? The next time, same thing. This last time I only went to pick up a copy of my prescription, and am so happy I don't have to go back. The people working genuinely seem like they don't want to be there and definitely don't want to help anybody. I will walk around blind before going back there.

I went in and was charged $175 co pay for 10 minutes of the doctors time. He walked in looked at my eyes in a few different angles told me I was all good basically and see you in a year. Then I had to ask him about the reason I was there. He hadn't read my chart or anything to know that I had a specific issue. I asked about that issue, he looked at my eyes for another 90 seconds and said they were fine. I again asked about my issue and informed him of some thing another doctor had said could possibly be going on. He looked at my eyes again and said oh yeah they are a bit plugged up, just put

Had to come to the Lodi office to correct a bad prescription that was given by one of the Stockton doctors. The doctor was great but trying to order contact trials has now taken 6 weeks. I stopped by the office to try a slightly different prescription on the contract trials and never heard from them despite the office workers telling me they'd contact me the following week. I stopped back in 2 weeks later and the contact person had placed the order without calling me and said she'd call when they arrived. 3 weeks later and still haven't heard from them so I called and the order apparently

After dealing with Dr. Hetzner for 20years, I'm done. Running late I called prior to Appt to say I'd be 10 min late. After waiting to get past covid measures I arrived at receptionist 11 min late. She checked with Dr Pham and I was turned away. "Later than 10 min. late."
Well I went 2 doors down and am a new patient of Dr. Burke.
See ya Zeiter.

Thank you Zeiter and Dr. Pham for a wonderful optometry experience! Unlike my previous optometry experiences before her, Dr. Pham was patient in ensuring I received the best care. During my initial visit for an eye exam, I encountered difficulty determining which comparison photo was clearer. Instead of rushing me through the process to get me out of her hair, she sensed my frustration. She commented that my eyes may be too dry, suggested we put in some drops, completed some other assessments and provided me with the option to complete my eye exam that day or come back another time.

This place is an absolute scam. Haven't been since 2017 and received a letter in the mail today saying I owe them 68 dollars for an exam from 3 years ago. The letter says they'll send me to collections if it's not paid despite me having insurance and paying a 25 dollar copay at the time. Not sure how I end up getting billed 3 years later.
Attempted to call them and sort it out and was told that the office is closed. Left my name and number but haven't received a call back yet. Stay far far away from these scammers who don't have any understanding how to properly do

I understand the offices are closed and cannot see or handle patients at this time but I'm really frustrated. I ordered some frames around the end of February and I've had to keep checking back to see if the frames are in. I've confirmed that they are but was told to call a different person (Amanda) to take my money. I have to pay for them to get the lenses put in but I can't get anybody to return my call to take my money and I don't even know that my glasses will get filled. I'm a teacher and trying to distance teach from home and really need my glasses.

I cannot express how absolutely disgusted and dissatisfied I am with Zeiter eye. My mom has been going to Zeiter eye for at least 30 years if not more. My 80 year old mom was hit head on by a drunk driver. She endured horrific injuries and of course her glasses got bent totally out of shape. We asked the Lodi office if they could send someone 2/10 of a mile to the care facility where my mom is located, just to have them adjust the glasses so that she could see and not have the pain and pressure of her glasses pushing against her bruised and beat up eyes and nose. They flatly refused. My mom

Doctors are great but the staff is not, i have been waiting over 10 days to received my glasses and this is after they called me to pick them up 10 days ago, when I arrived they mistakenly told me that my glasses were in. This was on July 8th now on July 18th I still do not have my glasses and when calling back to check (which i shouldn't have had too) there telling me that they were just ordered and they should arrive in the next few days. They need to do a better job at servicing customers when spending all this money for insurance.

Our family has been going to this location for our eye care needs for 25 years. For years they where great to work with BUT the last few years they're becoming more difficult to work with. This week was unbelievable!!! 4 Days I called to try and buy my daughter contacts. She was there 2 times in the last 6 months. For days they repeatedly say that my daughter hasn't been there since 2012. They are insane. We both had to take off work 4 days later for appointment. Turns out they lost her confidential medical records! So where are my daughters records? I'm sooo mad that I thinking

So shocked to see the bad reviews on yelp for Zeiter Eye. Maybe there is a difference between the staff at different locations? My experience at Zeiter Eye Lodi has been nothing but great. I've been coming here on and off for the last 5 years and never once had any issues with office staff. Dr. Grewal is also one of the most genuinely kind and caring optometrists I've ever met. She is truly passionate about what she does for living, and it shows! Very intelligent, but also gentle and respectful with her patients. She truly cares about providing the best service possible to her patients

I'm quite surprised by the negative reviews for this office. Having heard great things about Zeiter eye, I schedule my first appointment with Dr. Grewal. She is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, and extremely personable. She does not rush you, and is extremely thorough. We are currently working on trying to fit me with contacts after a long break from them. My particular vision issues are not the easiest. Dr. Grewal has been so patient and persistent with trying different options. I also have a completely different opinion on the office staff. Granted... I haven't had to deal with

When I made the appointment after my exam in Manteca, (i live in lathrop) they said i needed to do my next appointment in Stockton, where i sit in their parking lot now after being told i can not be seen. Sure, my mistake, i thought my appt was at 315 and i guesd it was at 330 which is when i walked in the door. After signing in, waiting for 10 mins and letting them copy my cards and sitting back down for 5 more minutes she calls me up again, to inform me of the 330 and only allowing a 10 minute grace period. Whos going to pay me for the whole day of work i missed? What about my gas and areangements

Love them, I have been using them since 2007! Working downtown they are very convenient for me to use. They provide excellent care. I have recently started using the the March Lane location and Dr Hand for an eye infection. I love him. He is very thorough and saw me weekly until the infection was all cleared up. He avoided surgery which was more work for him and better for me! I love both location!

There are tons of optometrists in the area. Find someone else. Staff is rude on top of it. Last time my family went they spent most of the benefits on unnecessary tests which in turn cost us when it came to glasses. Usually I get get bifocals and contacts, but I received only one pair of glasses before benefits were exhausted. My wife had to pay for the reading pair. Total rip off.

This group is as good as it gets. Do not pay any attention to complainers like "Katherine" who is probably one of those whiney people who can't understand that even though you may have an appt, you still might have to wait because your doctor had an emergency or got backed up or???? And that doesn't mean the other doctors/specialists are running late so therefore there WILL be people going in ahead of her seeing other doctors!!!

RUDE! I went here because I was having some eye issues and I will NEVER go back. Even though I had an appointment, and I was 30 min early I waited till an hour after my scheduled appointment time! People came an went in the time I sat there! Then the doctor proceeded to make fun of me for not having insurance and stated "I bet you wish you hadn't voted for Obama now." Please don't bring up politics during an optometry appointment! And he could not diagnose my issues! Also he dilated my eyes without warning me, & told me I would be able to drive after! I could not!
