Today I got my eyes examined. The staff were professional and friendly. The exam went very well and the doctor and technician were wearing masks when they were with me. Hand sanitizer was available for use. I was somewhat taken back when I first came into the office and checked in. The "fishbowl" used by the front staff is about the size of a house kitchen. There were about eight staff members sitting shoulder-to-shoulder around the perimeter of the room...NO ONE was wearing a mask! I asked my tech if they have been tested for Covid19 and she responded "that there was need to, no one is sick

My worst experience getting glasses in 35 years. Stanton eye care in evansville formerly held this title. I've heard of inflation, but over $800 for two pairs of glasses and an exam. I felt robbed. Customer service very poor. They said, one pair would be ready in an hr. but other pair might take a week. I said call when they both ready. They call 10 days later to tell me glasses ready, but only pair that was ready in an hr was ready. Wasted trip! Over two weeks and still waiting to hear about 2nd pair. DON"T GO HERE!

I love how fast & convenient they are. I called Tuesday and was schedule for an eye exam that following Thursday. Little to no wait time once I arrived for my appointment. Staff was friendly and easy to talk to! Dr. Eli was very helpful & informative. Eye exam took probably 30minutes, quick and easy. My glasses were ready within an hour and a half.

What a wonderful ending to such an aggravating situation! EyeWorks has been fantastic!! The staff is amazing! They've all been so friendly accommodating!! Not only have they been dealing with me over the last several days while trying aquire my prescription from Marion Eye Center, they set me right up as soon as walked in today. I have new contacts in, a new pair of glasses in my purse, and a year supply of contacts that'll be here within a few days! They hooked me up with some amazing deals and went above & beyond to make this a great experience! Thank you all so much!! I will definitely be back
