Our family has been coming here for years - while we have always appreciated the expertise and service, the additional services offered during COVID have been phenomenal as well. My daughters glasses came in, and to avoid many people in the office, Eye Department arranged a drop off at our home. They are adapting and offering services to assist families during this crazy time.

I've been coming to the Eye Department for the last few years and always have an amazing expirience! Dr. Annie Bacon truly cares about her patients on a personal level, which I value. All of the staff here provides top notch customer service and are very helpful when choosing new frames. I've been to many different eyecare providers over the years and the Eye Department is simply the best!
