Vision Source Dc Focus Eyecare Center
Discover the difference medically-focused optometry makes. We focus on giving the most advanced and medically-sound eye care possible. It's our mission to test, diagnose, and treat your eyes for any potential conditions or diseases, including dry eye, glaucoma and cataracts. I've been going to Vision Source DC Focus Eyecare for years and think it's excellent.

Not only is it in a convenient location to my work, they are very thorough and efficient. The appointments are quick and you never have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Garr is great, attentive, and has helped me to find a pair of contacts that I love, that don't dry out my eyes. I would highly recommend her and the practice for glasses/contact lens fittings and annual eye exams.
Services
We're here for all your eye care needs. We take the time to get to know you and evaluate your eye health so we can provide you with the highest possible standard of care. Whether you're here for a regular exam, contact lenses, or dry eye treatment, our team is ready to give you MOA-approved comprehensive care in a welcoming environment.
We accept a variety of payment options, making it easy for you to access unparalleled eye care services whenever you need them. Payment can be made using cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, and CareCredit Financing (a vision eye care credit card). For more information about payment options, or if you have questions about fees, insurance coverage, or financial arrangements, please contact our office.
Regular eye exams are critical for ensuring your eyes remain healthy. Especially as we age, our eyes become more susceptible to vision issues and disease. Many of these diseases are asymptomatic in the early stages, meaning regular eye exams are the best way to catch any eye health issues early. Between the ages of 18 to 64, you should be having an eye exam at least every 2 years.
Children are constantly learning, both inside and outside the classroom, but undiagnosed or untreated vision problems could hamper their development and interfere with their ability to learn effectively. Regular eye exams are critical for safeguarding your child's eye health and vision. They allow your optometrist to ensure your child's prescription is up to date and look for signs of vision or eye health problems.
Diabetes is a systemic condition that can affect the body in many ways and can impact your vision and eye health. This means that diabetic eyes require special care and attention, so patients with diabetes should be undergoing a comprehensive eye exam at least once per year. Your optometrist may suggest more frequent visits, depending on your unique vision and eye health needs.

Everyone who works here is amazing! This is the friendliest staff. My doctor was so kind and caring (I can't remember her name!). She took every care to address my concerns and went above and beyond to ensure she had fully examined my eyes for any signs of damage or tearing, given some issues I've been experiencing. She helped me figure out what was causing it and left me feeling completely relieved. Rex, who helped me pick out my frames, is the coolest, nicest guy. Super helpful and understanding. He knew I was trying to stay within a certain price point and shape for my frames

The experience at Vision Source Dc Focus Eyecare Center was excellent from the time I signed in to the time I picked up my new frames and RX..
The receptionist was very friendly and greeted me warmly and checked me in gave me paperwork to fill out. When my paperwork was completed she escorted me to the Dr's office.
The technician was very professional, and used top method s of hygiene to sanitize the equipment, tables and chairs. I felt very safe and comfortable.
The eye exam was very thoroughly . The Dr spoke to me in terms that I completely understood and she was very professional and

I can't say enough about this practice and the care I received. In addition to accommodating my insurance challenges, they provided the most comprehensive exams and recommendations that I've ever received, from any doctor. I highly recommend this team.

I am an existing patient and called first thing in the morning for a possible eye infection I developed over the weekend. The staff worked with the doctors to squeeze me into their already booked schedule so they could check it same day. Incredibly helpful! Responsive, on-time appointment, courteous. What more could you ask for?

Dr. Shustock and the staff at Vision Source are amazing. The check-in and exam are seamless, and Dr. Shustock is always patient with my ocd questioning. Rex indulges my need to try on every frame before making a decision, and gives helpful suggestions and feedback. They also help with mid year adjustments and repairs. I couldn't ask for more!

I wish I knew about this place 3-4 years ago when I started wearing eye glasses. I had never experienced such a wonderful service. Dr. Dalia took a good care of me and answered all my questions and concerns. All the staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recommended!!!

Vision Source DC is awesome. I have been going there for my annual eye exam for years. A couple of co-workers recommended them. Now, I drive from upper Montgomery county to continue to see Dr. Garr. But another good thing about them, even if I have a question between my yearly visit, Dr Garr calls me back personally to answer my question. She is honest, cares about my eye health and is not trying to sell me on things I don’t need. Love them.

I love Vision Source DC Focus Eyecare. Doctor Garr is so knowledgeable and personable. The staff are great. I started going here when I worked nearby so I could pop over at lunch. Now I work in a different part of DC and live in Virginia, but I still travel to Vision Source because I don’t want to leave this practice. They have a great selection of fashionable frames, too.

I have been a patient there for over 30 years and their professionalism, customer care services as well the prescribed (medical) patient optometry treatment has proven to be the best oppose to other Eye Care Centers I have visited in past years. I highly recommend their services! I have found them to be one in a million! A special thanks to Rex for such professional and expert customer care! Thanks to all of you at Vision Care, you make visiting a pleasure!

I just had the most bizarre experience with this office. I called the number listed on the website, and then pressed the number indicated for appointments. A woman answered promptly. I said hello, gave her my name, and explained that I would like to make an appointment for an eye exam. She burst out laughing. When I asked what was so funny, she responded that I was the second person that day to call her and say that. I confirmed that I did, in fact, call the appointment line at a doctor's office. As I tried to make sense of what was happening, she continued to laugh and giggle. I told

Dr. Shustock is the best. She is always very available, very thorough and very personable. I had something in my eye since Thursday evening. I went to another doctor in my work area and although this doctor really tried, my eye still bothered me. I called Dr. Shustock's office and they agreed to see me Saturday morning at 8 a.m. I got there about 7:50 and was seen promptly at 8. Dr. Shustock came in promptly after her great assistant did an initial check and found the problem immediately. I was in and out of her office in 10 minutes -- problem solved. I had fun trying on frames with

I've probably tried a dozen different eye doctors in the DC area over the last 8 years, and I am so glad that I found Vision Source! I went for an annual eye exam, contact lens check and to order new contacts. The entire staff was super friendly and took time explaining everything from the different eye tests they were giving to how to get the rebate on my contact lens order. They were quick, efficient, and competent. It was a really great experience, and I'm glad I found somewhere to go back to again and again!

I booked an appointment through the online interface, and as per instructions waited to receive a confirmation email. I never did (yes, I checked my spam, yes, the email address was right). I tried to call but couldn't get through to a human even during business hours.

Despite never receiving any communication about my appt, my email address DID end up on their list for sending out sales on Kate Spade shades &c.

I went elsewhere! But I do want to let you know, Vision Source, that your online appointment interface is buggy and it is costing you customers. :-(

I've developed high standards for eye examinations, eyeglass frames and lenses over the 40 years I've worn eyeglasses. I look for a thorough examination and a doctor who is a good communicator. Dr. Shustock, the Optometrist, fully met my standards. Additionally, her optician was attentive and pleasant; listened to my preferences and selected several quality frames that I was able to evaluate without feeling rushed. The shop itself has an impressive array of quality, stylish frames.

Insurance: I used vision insurance for the first time and the staff very willingly took the extra

I had the best eye doctor experience ever here! Dr. Garr was very thorough in her exam and recommended some very affordable contacts to me. Dawn gave me a lesson in putting in and taking out my contacts and she was so friendly and an excellent teacher!! When I tried contacts 10 years ago, I got flustered and gave up, but this time it was a breeze and I am so thankful!

I had a terrible experience at Washington Eye Associates and came here to see Dr. Garr. It was like night and night. Both the receptionist and Dr. Garr were professional, helpful and pleasant. Dr. Garr also did what she could to help me save time. She got the sense that I didn't want to keep coming back for additional visits, and she recommended that we keep my current prescription so I wouldn't need to return for another fitting for a new brand of contact lenses. Works perfectly fine for me.

All in all, I was very pleased and would definitely go back.

Consistent with other reviews, Dr. Shustock work hard to get me to take new contact lenses, although I explicitly said that I am conferrable with what I wear, and it was difficult to impossible to get a prescription for the kind I'm using. But that's the least of my problems with this clinic.

A month after visiting the doctor I received an $80 medical bill that I didn't know what it is for. When calling, they said its for contact lenses I bought. I never bought contact lenses from them. They insisted that I came to pick them up from the office although I never did that. They just

I feel strange being really enthusiastic about an optometrist, but I've seen Dr. Garr for 2 years and I can't recommend her highly enough.

She's super knowledgeable, very thorough, and radiates competence while managing to have a great sense of humor. She's also one of the few medical professionals I've interacted with who understands the desire to save money while getting quality care and is great about giving detailed cost breakdowns when discussing different options.

Her office is also very efficient and on top of its administrative stuff - minimal wait times, good
