Powers Eye Center made 3 sets of lenses for me for 3 different frames. I was able to use 2 of the lenses they made for me. I have replaced 4 of the 6 lenses that Powers Eye Center made for me because the prescription was switched. The Rx in the left eye was good for right eye and the Rx for the right eye was good for left eye. I will never again give the staff there the opportunity to be rude to me. If this shop decides to refund my money for the 4 lenses, I will gladly mail the 4 lenses back to them.

I have been looking all over for a new optometrist and found one here. I have never met a more professional staff in any other place than the people that work here. After I checked in Rachel made me feel right at home and treated me the kindness and respect and answered all my questions that she could and found the answers she didnt know. Everyone that works here has the highest level of professionalism I have ever seen, and will always go the extra mile to help you.

My husband has been a satisfied customer of Powers Eye Center for over four years, so when I needed a pair of prescription glasses, I knew where I wanted to go. I made an appointment, had a pleasant eye exam with the friendly staff, and was assured that I would receive my glasses in 2 weeks. After waiting 11 days I decided to call for an ETA on my glasses. I was told that the original lenses had a defect and needed to be replaced and that I would not get my glasses for another week. At this point, I was becoming frustrated, I had just started on-line classes and needed my lenses, but there was

Great experience! The VA set up the appointment, Powers Eye Center did the rest.
Dr. McAllister was very thorough and explained everything to me in term my caregiver and myself could comprehend. To my amazement, he has the most up to date equipment Ive seen. After testing he showed me my eyes on a big vertical monitor screen (something Ive never experienced at the big father eye clinic nor the military clinics world-wide)! Upon picking up my prescription, the Optician carefully presented my new glasses, very, very courteously (rare these days), explained the care and cleaning instructions

This is my second year with Powers Eye Center and I absolutely love it here!! I was able to do most of the required paperwork ahead of time, so check-in was quick and easy. They are also taking extra precautions due to COVID, and all of their eye testing equipment was clean and sanitized. This made me feel quite comfortable. I would highly recommend Powers Eye Center to anyone in need of an exam.
Also, I did not purchase glasses there but it did look like they had quite a variety to choose from.
