My husband came here first and had nothing but praise for Dr. Downs and his staff, so I made a call to see if they would perform snd eye exam on my 10 year old son who was experiencing frequent headaches and difficulty seeing the whiteboard at school in certain situations - and they could! They made the experience fun and interesting for him and he felt comfortable the whole time. Dr. Downs took his time, asked both me and my son loads of questions, and he took the time to make us feel comfortable. Dr. Downs is so nice! He performed several tests and made little adjustments so my son could see

I was referred to Dr.Downs recently & I am SO grateful I did. I have a very complex corneal issue. I needed to start wearing scleral lenses last September that I had made at UCLA Stein Eye. Unfortunately due to illegal mandates, UCLA has refused to continue my care this past year. Between the medical trauma I've experienced with other drs & the issues with my eyes, I didn't have much hope. That all changed completely after just my 1st visit. Dr.Downs is a good human, not just a good optometrist. He actually cares about his patients, you can feel the difference just by talking

Just completed my annual eye exam and as always it was just wonderful. Dr. Downs, Karen and Suzanne are so kind and helpful. I even had my mom switch to Dr. Downs and she could not be happier. Best eye doctor around! Thank you for all that you do! Looking forward to my next visit :)

I am so impressed with Dr Steve and his staff. Dr Steve made me a new pair of glasses and much to my surprise Most of the charges were covered by my insurance. He has an amazing selection. The staff work with you to find the perfect pair. I can't wait to come back to get my sunglasses.

I don't usually do Yelp's but this one 100000% deserves it!!!! Dr. Downs and the staff there are so amazing. They all took the time to answer any questions/concerns I had and never once made me feel like I was being rushed out of the door. You could tell they genuinely cared - something you never EVER get with big corp companies. If anyone's considering a new dentist, consider less because this is where you need to go.

If I could leave 0 stars I would, the lady here is rude and completely unprofessional. She flipped out for no reason and was yelling. If you have to get something, get it from somewhere else. I will not be coming back nor will be quite about how rude the stuff is.

I wish I could give them 10 stars!! I am 56 years old and have never seen so well in my life ( there are a few wrinkles I wish I still couldn't see). The staff is both friendly and efficient, the frame selection is great, but best of all is how talented Dr Steve is! I am a very happy patient.

Dr. Downs gave a very thorough review of my eyes, made some slight changes to my contact prescription. He was very easy to speak with, down to earth and provided me with a fantastic eye exam. Office personnel were very polite and fun to engage in conversation with. I am very pleased overall and will see him again in 1-year for my check up...thank you VP Optometry

I've been a patient of Dr. Furculo for over 15 years and as much as I miss him Dr. Steve is even better. I just had one of the most through eye exams I've ever had. 5* +. Plus, Karen and staff are still here, helpful and friendly.

I used to go to Villa Park Optometry for years but had some frustrating experiences, so stopped going. After hearing about the "change of guard" I wanted to give Dr. Downs a try. I'm so glad I did! He's great! I have unique challenges when it comes to contacts, and he did a great job of finding something for me that worked immediately. We're working now on getting me a pair of prescription sunglasses and I can't wait to try them!

Also, the front-desk staff is wonderful. I'm afraid I forgot her name, but there's one professional there that is an insurance

Very happy with my eye exam visit with Dr. Downs today. The staff was friendly and professional. This is a small office but is very clean, nice, and comfortable. Dr. Downs is really personable and friendly. He really took the time to ask questions and explain my eye conditions. He provided me with new information I never heard of from previous eye exams from other offices. He uses updated technology where I was told I don't need to get my eyes dilated because of the technology he uses as an alternative to examine my eye. I was seen on time and exam was done efficiently. Overall very

Wow, what can I say? The BEST EXAM EVER! I have Type 1 diabetes and also have been wearing glasses for farsightedness and a lazy left eye since I was in 5th grade so I have been to many optometrists and ophthalmologists in my 49 years. Dr. Downs by far gave me the best eye exam I have ever had. It didn't take long like many others have, I didn't have to have my eyes dilated, he has this new machine that takes pictures of the entire eye that eliminates the need of having your eyes dilated. I also have a HUGE fear of having my eyes touched (I know, I know ha ha) yet he was able to do the

Dr. Downs very professional and very personable.
Has the latest non invasive equipment for exams.
This is my first time in twenty years that my eye condition was fully explained. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends and anyone that is reading this review.
Thank you VPO

I had a great experience with Dr. Downs and the office staff at VP Optometry. They were able to work around my schedule for appointments, sent me text reminders, accepted my insurance and FSA benefits card without issue, and provided my contacts at competitive pricing. The office is well organized and very clean, with ample, easy access parking.

A boutique experience where you won't feel rushed in and out.
