    Dr. Daisy Mendez from the moment you meet her you feel at ease and comfortable, especially when you are unsure and want to ask questions about any concerns you may have, she is also extremely through in her exams and gives you the time to understand the process. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an optometrist.Her team have excellent customer service and make you feel at home from the moment you walk through the door.

    We were told a few years ago when my daughter was in 5th grade that she needed glasses to see the board at school. She wasn't very happy about it, but we picked out a cute pair and I think she's worn them about 3 times in the past 2 years.A few days into 7th grade I received an email from her math teacher that he was pretty sure by the way she was squinting in class that she can't see. I confirmed that she can't and had another chat with her about wearing her glasses, but she was very reluctant. I recalled our eye dr saying that around 12/13 is the perfect time to get contact lenses and so I thought we should give it a try.We went to the eye dr who confirmed her vision had gotten much worse and it was time for glasses (or contacts) all the time. She then met with their contact specialist who spent an hour with her trying to teach her out to put them in. She left frustrated about wearings contacts. We were about to go back to the eye dr for another lesson when a friend told me about the contact whisperer, Dr. Daisy Mendez, at Perspective Eyes. I was willing to try anything so made an appointment for later that week.My daughter spent an hour with Dr. Daisy, who was sooo patient with her. Dr. Daisy started by teaching her out to remove them first and then they tackled how to put them in. She also numbed the eyes at the appointment, which helped her learn as well. She almost got it in that first hour, but not quite, so we went back a few days later and she conquered it in 30 minutes.It's been about a week and we are still perfecting putting them in, but everyday it gets easier. This morning she got them in within 7 minutes (our record so far!). I have to hold her long eyelashes away from her eye, which I hope I'm not still doing for her when she goes to college...but so happy that she can finally see. And she won't admit it, but I think she's thrilled to finally be able to see at school, on the tennis court and elsewhere.I tried contacts myself when I was her age and failed miserably. With the exception of driving I walk around pretty blind myself, but am tempted to give them another try now with Dr. Daisy. We will continue to go here for her eyecare and so thrilled my friend told me about this gem of a business and Dr!
