Getting the right contact lenses is easy, but it does take a few steps. At Eye Care By Design, Augusta GA, the process begins with an eye exam to determine the type of lens that best fits the shape of your eye. A thorough exam from one of our experienced Doctors will ensure the prescription for your contact lenses are up-to-date and help rule out any conditions that could affect wearing lenses.
The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses. A vision insurance policy is not the same as health insurance. Regular health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease.

Was recommended years ago. Was a great experience then, and has been nothing but the best ever since. The most thorough exam by the most friendly staff there could ever be. Always locally owned by 2 great optometrists!!!

From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted by Collin and given excellent service.There was order, affordable pricing, a great display and a wide array of frames available.I really appreciated the policies in place for safety and hygiene with masks and handling of touched frames.Attention and detail to what I like and need,fit and information on caring for the lens.
I am a new customer to your company and was very impressed with your checked and rechecked by another associate for accuracy. I've worn glasses for 57 years and truly was one of the most pleasant and professional experiences

Very informative. I like to know details about my eyes and at this visit I tried contacts. I’m unable to find a pair that suit me, but the doctor was very patient in helping me find something to try that would work for me. I love my glasses and my husband and I will be returning in years to come for our eye exams.

The waiting time was reasonable (in and out in an hour). The service was provided promptly when needed. The doctors and staff are friendly and the clinic is clean. Dr. Abbas and Sydney (the technician) were very patient and addressed all my concerns. The contacts order placed from the clinic was delivered within 5 business days.

This was my first visit to Eye Care by Design. I had gone to another retail establishment for several years, but my insurance changed. I was blown away at the difference! I will recommend Eye Care by Design to everyone I meet. I was a bit concerned by the attitude of one of the ladies at the front desk when I first arrived. I thought I had made a mistake by coming here. However, that quickly changed. Everyone was so nice, professional, and thorough. Dr. Capps was phenomenal!!! I will never go anywhere else.

Dr. Capps and staff are always great. She diagnosed a rare eye disorder my husband had been dealing with for awhile. I always find nice glasses or sunglasses to choose from. Nice family feel and great service.

We had a great experience here. My daughter got contacts for the first time and Dr. Capps was great with her. The staff was extremely helpful teaching her how to use them. Very happy with our experience.

Considering we're still in a Global Pandemic with menacing variants on the rise. I was very taken aback when I noticed that the entire staff, at that time, did not have on masks. Will be finding a new Optometrist.

The ladies at Eye Care by Design were extremely helpful and nice to me as I tried to figure out the style I wanted. I forget his name, but the guy that ran some of the tests made me feel comfortable and explained each test thoroughly to me. The doctor also made the process comfortable and understood my needs perfectly. Kept me updated about the status of my glasses and let me know when I could get them. A lot more affordable than I thought it would be. Awesome experience!

I've been going here for 4+ years but they been getting slower and slower. I made an appointment for my annual exam and got there on time but ended up waiting an hour for the appointment to start. That plus the actual exam time made it too late to sit down to review lens options for my new prescription. I returned the following week to go over lens options for both my regular glasses and sunglasses. It took two full weeks for the lenses to come in. I came in the same day they called me to get both my glasses fitted with the new lenses and was told a one hour wait. It ended up being one-and

Called 3 times today to try and make an appointment for an eye exam. Ultimately to purchase new frames with progressive lenses as well as rx sunglasses. Each time I was put on forget. The shortest time I stayed on "hold" before hanging up was 5 minutes. Taking my business elsewhere.

There aren't enough ways to say thank you to Tiffany. She went above and beyond for us. Everyone was helpful but Tiffany was so much more. I appreciate the follow up, genuine concern and outstanding customer care! Awesome experience with this establishment.

I was greeted by Katie and she was the best!! They got me in quick and seem to really care if they get it right. This is the most through eye exam I have ever had. The staff is very caring and wants to make sure you are happy with your purchase. i even went back for a free adjustment. All in all the best experience I have ever had at an eyeglass place.

SLOW!! everything is an ordeal. If you want to just go and pick up some extra contacts, it's a 1 hour visit. Staff is cordial, but doesn't care. Take yo r business elsewhere.

Not one hour optical. The name is misleading. Give yourself 3 hours. It's infuriating when you've scheduled an hou and a half and the process moves so slowly. Nobody has any intent of getting you out the door in an hour. Otherwise it's ok- is suggest that they tell customers on the front end that the process of an eye exam will take 3 hours.

This is about the Bobby Jones location. Never been to the other one. I waited so long (over 1.5 hrs) to see the doctor that I left and made another appointment. Waited that time, too, but not over an hour. Also, something seems to go wrong with my glasses every time and they have to redo them. This time something was wrong with one of my lenses. Once they completely warped the plastic frame and I had to get new frames. Not thrilled with them. Will not use them again.

I had an appointment and my paper work was filled out but I waited for over an hour past my appointment time before I was called back. I had a brand of contacts I had been wearing for years and they insisted I try new stuff. I did and they would not let me go back to my old brand instead they told me I could only have daily wears. So frustrated and new to town I just ordered some to get by until I can find a new place. It's been over two weeks and still no contacts. I have called them three times now and they say let me check and call you back shortly and I am still waiting for them to call

It took me 2 and half hours to get in and out of this place despite having an appointment, so I am a little confused by the name. The doctor was friendly, but the staff seemed miserable and not personable. I felt like they just kept trying to upsell me, which is frustrating when you're just trying to get in and out with a prescription. The equipment seemed outdated.The tech signed me up for some "Gold Program" without even asking if I wanted to participate. It was a $10 charge but she insisted I was saving in other areas of my visit. All in all, I doubt I will return.

Very efficient, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The prices are more than fair. They even have a special area for kids with the TV set to an appropriate channel. I wish more businesses understood customer service like they do.

Most of the Staff are friendly and they try. Prices are extremely high!!!

I paid very close to $600.00 for my glasses plus they billed my insurance some. I did not get fancy designer frames but I did order some special features. No way near enough to warrant that extreme price but I needed glasses so I bit the bullet.

I had to call the store to ask if the glasses were in yet (past the time I was told), apparently they had just come in that morning ???

Fitting was good. I leave store and go home only to find my glasses are missing the Transition feature I paid for.

I now have to take
