As MANY reviewers have stated, spanning over half a decade, AVOID THIS EYE DR AT ALL COSTS! They will extract every penny out of you and your insurance that they can get away with. They have no shame in trying to rip people off at every stage of your eye care process. After they ripped me and my VSP off, I called over 20 opticians in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area and Dr Casaus was over twice the price of ALL of them for a standard eye exam. I paid $133 AFTER they billed my VSP $130. This place is a shady grift with a fancy veneer. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

Eyeglasses prescription rule
The Rule requires prescribers to provide patients with a copy of their eyeglass prescription immediately after an eye exam, even if the patient does not request it. Under the Rule, prescribers cannot require that patients buy eyeglasses as a condition of providing them with a copy of their prescription. Why would I want my prescription? You have a CHOICE about where to buy your glasses or contacts. You dont have to buy them from your prescriber. You might find a better deal, a better supply, or simply more convenience

The whole operation reeks of a money making scam. Made my appointment two weeks out, gave my information, medical insurance, etc. I wasn't informed that they didn't accept my insurance until I checked in! Then they had the nerve to ask if I still wanted to have the exam and pay out of pocket. The biggest scam that they pull is that they tried to charge me $25 for the privelage of sending me a text message confirming my appointment ONE HOUR before my appointment time. I had already confirmed my appointment time online days before that. Very unprofessional operation that they have going on. Tried

Let me start with, I have OCD: Why is that important? Let me explain. I am a previous patient. Thought they had shut down. Went to other places with horrid experiences. Once I realized Vision Store was open. I made appointment. As before. They are GREAT!. They explain everything to me. Let me know what is required, what is not, and options. They understood me, without having to explain that I am very particular about my eyes and glasses. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make me feel like a valued patient, not just another number or insurance payment. I highly recommend them

The entire staff at The Vision Store were very friendly and courteous during my entire visit! Answered all questions asked and explained my visit every step of the way! I would highly recommend them to anyone. This being my first eye exam in a long time I was very nervous but because of the knowledgeable staff, I felt at ease during my entire appointment.Thank you again to the entire staff and Dr. Causus at The Vision Store.

Last year I went to a chain store for my glasses and contacts. This week, I went to Vision Store. It was a completely different experience. The Staff was very friendly. The appointment took a lot longer, because the doctor did so many different tests that ensure eye health rather than just vision correction. I wanted contacts but of course need backup glasses. I explained that I did not have the budget for both on the day I was there. They had no issue with me just getting the contacts now and coming back later for the glasses. The chain store was very aggressive when I tried to do this.
