I went to this optical store because they carried Maui Jim sunglasses and I wanted to replace my existing pair of progressive prescription sunglasses. The exam part went fine. At first the sales rep said maybe I could get progressive lenses depending on the wrap, this I understood. She said she’d have to check but never really did. The more she talked the more her story changed. Next she said I could get prescription but not progressives. Then she said I couldn’t even get prescription. She never looked anything up or talked to anybody and seemed to make it up as she went along. Then she said the insurance wouldn’t pay any amount of the frames since they were designer. huh? then she tried to sell me on regular glasses with sunglass lenses. Are you kidding? There is no way I would go from Maui Jims to crap. I had her fill out my prescription card which I took to For Eyes where I had a pleasant experience with no double talk. I bought a pair of Armani sunglasses with even more wrap than the Maui Jims. I was able to get progressive lenses and the frames were covered by insurance.

I have been using prescription contact lenses for over ten years, and for the past 5 my prescription has consistently been the same, until I visited Dr. Weaver. Despite emphatically insisting that the prescription he wrote was not right (it was below what I had been using and I was straining to see what I was otherwise able to see with my former prescription) he insisted saying that it is not uncommon that prescriptions change and they even get better with time. But what I find more troubling about his practice is that last week I woke up with what appeared to be a scratched cornea, so I decided to go and see him, since he would take a walk-​in. After reviewing my eye (and many «Oh my goodness, this looks really bad» from his part) he said that I had an eye in infection. He proceeded to write me a prescription. I am pregnant right now, so I insisted (several times) that he wrote a prescription for something that would not be harmful for my baby. I gave me the prescription, and I did some research, both on my own and with my pharmacist and OBGyn. Needless to say, the prescription he wrote is for a drug that it is definitely not for use during pregnancy because of the risk of miscarriage. I will not recommend this doctor because of his lack of knowledge and professionalism. My health has no price and regardless of whatever savings you may have, that will never compensate for the price of my health of that of my baby.

This is not a luxurious eye doctor with pretty pictures on the walls, but they sure are great when it comes to giving a eye exam and keeping the cost of glasses and contacts down. For a eye exam I paid $ 75.00 and instead of filling out rebates and waiting for a check in the mail, Sam’s Club gives you the rebates instantly. After I witched to this doctor Three years ago I couldn’t believe the savings. Quality was never compromised. I highly recommend.
