Beware! They do not offer frames paid by Medicaid ! I was SUPER annoyed bc when I made an appointment , no one mentioned that They ONLY take Dr. Dynosaur for the doctor appointment but they do not honor Dr. dinosaur for frames. I only learned this after my kid was done with the doctor appointment part and we were ready to get frames. It took weeks to get an appointment. So, rather than go somewhere else, I end up having to pay for frames. The last place I went offered a selection of frames paid by Medicaid.

Great office. Dr Dora is highly qualified. She has the latest and best equipment in the State. She is the first eye Dr to prescribed the right type of glasses to help me deal with migraines and headaches. I highly recommend her office. Her whole staff is very nice also.

Great Optometrist. I got special glasses (Neurolens) and I was hesitant at first because of the expensive price but the glasses have helped my headaches and helped me be able to spend most of the day in front of a computer screen without straining my eyes. I highly recommend Dr Dora and her staff. Especially if you suffer from headaches. C. Brooks

Dr. Dora is an ultra smart 🤓 Optometrist. Her precise knowledge and advanced equipment provides an extra level of care that you won't find at other lens specialists. Her staff is greatly in tune to what you are looking for in a pair of frames or contacts. It always amazes me on how fast (almost instantly) they can select a pair of frames that I'm looking for and makes the visit so wonderful for me ... Dr. Dora is simply the best in the State of Vermont. Thank you, Dora!

I would highly recommend Chroma Optics as the place to buy eyeglasses. Expansive collection to choose from. Staff was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Prescription glasses arrived quickly- within a week.

Super expensive. Both frames and lenses were much more than another local shop. Exact same frames were about 35% less. They also needed alot more time to get the glasses done as they don't do it in house. I do not recommend

I love this place! They always go the extra mile
to make sure you’re taken care of. I had a 4pm appt and was their last patient. After my exam
I looked for new frames... and I’m the worst shopper for glasses. All the ladies helped me and gave their opinions to help me decide. I was trying to hurry because I knew they closed at 5 but they made sure I took my time and got frames I love. I used to always just call around and pick an eye doctor by whoever had the first available appointment. I have been a patient here for a few years now and don’t intend on going anywhere else. Thank you ladies

If I could give 10 stars I would. I broke my glasses frames last week, and took them in to see what my options were. I work in health care and am working hard to prep for COVID-19 patients and needed my glasses desperately. Jordan looked to find replacements but they are weeks out, so she put my lenses into a set of frames they had in the shop was able to do this on very short notice before they closed on Friday. The weekend has been busy, many calls/meetings, and my glasses helped tremendously.
Every time I have been in to the store I am always treated in a professional, friendly and respectful

While at the car dealership, I bent my prescription raybans, also the nose pieces were misaligned and I didn't know how to fix it. I found Chroma Optics just a couple of blocks away (never happens) and stopped in to see if they had time to fix said glasses. Not only did the lovely woman on the desk take them immediately, but I was greeted by THE cutest doggo called Olive! The optometrist fixed my glasses in the blink of an eye, and brought to me clean and perfect again! Best part...no charge! Gotta say y'all made my day AMAZING service here - highly recommend!!

We felt that Dr. Dora was a good doctor, however, we were really disappointed when she reprimanded an employee while we were in her office for giving me a copy of my prescription when I called a couple of months earlier. Clearly, she wanted me to only buy my contacts in her office. We felt that it was unprofessional and clearly money is a priority based on this and past visits.

I just came from my first appointment with Dr. Sudarsky and it was, without reservation, the most positive experience I've ever had with an eye doctor, with contacts fittings, and with glasses selection. Not only was she professional, efficient, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, she made me feel immediately at ease, like we were pals discussing weekend plans. Dr. Sudarsky and her staff are clearly passionate about vision, eye health, and even self-esteem (aesthetics). I'm sure there are folks out there who don't need their health care professionals to be warm and kind, so long as they

Recently moved to VT and was finally able to get new glasses. This place was recommended to me by a co-worker and I have to say I was just as impressed with the staff as I was with the technology this office uses! Thanks for the great care!!

I had a prescription already so I didn't need an exam but wanted to update my current frames/lenses (progressives). I will be returning in to the future to having my eye exams done here. I saw all the wonderful reviews and was ready to give Chroma a chance after not having such good luck in the past with mall stores, Walmart and even on line frame/lenses stores. This store is so nice, clean, what a variety to choose from. Everyone was very nice and Jordan was a huge help. I was ready for a bit of a change but not drastic. She gave me lots of choices and finally narrowed down to three

My first visit at Chroma Optics was amazing!
Dr. Dora was personable and professional, and she really “opened my eyes” to alternative and more efficient eye care products and options.
Jordan was great to work with and was a HUGE help when picking out my new glasses. Her knowledge and expertise was incredible, and she selected the perfect frames that really complimented my style and bone structure.
I felt like I was in good hands with Dr. Dora and the Chroma Optics team, and will spread the word to family and friends.

An office that goes above and beyond what anyone should expect from a medical office these days. With so much being pushed on doctors from the gov't and insurance mandates. I was amazed by the time spent to care for the needs of the patient. I've never had such an experience. Staff was very helpful. I can't say enough good about Chroma Optics and Dr. Sudarsky. I give them 10 stars if I could!!

Nice folks but fairly disorganized (although to be fair they were experiencing weird power issues the day of). My doctor wasn't Dr. Sudarsky and unfortunately I don't know the name of the woman who assisted me.
I came in for a new patient visit but also had a stye that needed to be addressed. I went through all of the motions of a normal new patient exam and everything just felt off. The Dr mentioned multiple times that she wasn't that familiar with the computer systems and her floundering made me a little concerned. At one point she guessed (before the chart exam but after I stuck

I tried all the eye doctors out there - my eyes have had their share of troubles, being injured from a concussion, and I've had enough eye drama for a lifetime. My vision was horrid, but the last guy I went to gave me the message, "sucks to be you." I left his office and cried in my car.

I love seeing!

A few months later, I ended up under Dora Sudarsky's care. I paid extra for a second exam in the same year because the first was so horrifying. Dora looked into my eyes with her machines, then into my eyes with her heart, and said, "Wow, this is really bad. Let's

I first met "Dr. Dora" Sudarsky at her previous position at Eyes of the World. (See my 2014 review for her at Eyes of the World. Also glowing, also 5 stars.) I'm thrilled to see that she's opened her own business! I can't say enough good things about her, and am delighted to follow her here.

So, my experience at Chroma Optics. Friendly staff, knowledgeable about their products AND helpful in deciding best frame shape/style to suit one's face. Marvelous selection of frames. Dr. Dora herself: she is dedicated to ocular health, and it shows in the technology

Excellent customer service by the Chroma staff!! If you are "looking" (pun intended) for your next round of Eye Care, look no further. The office is state of the art and the staff is very knowledgeable. Chroma Optics is conveniently located in Burlington off Shelburne Road across from the Subaru dealership next to the Post Office. Chroma Optics has the vision of becoming your family eye care specialists, built on quality service and genuine individual care.
