Eyewear And Opticians in Charlotte

“Erin is extremely knowledgeable about eyeware and was very helpful and patient in figuring out best choices for me and my eyeglasses needs.“

“I'd like to share my experience at Stanton Optical on Albemarle Road in Charlotte. I booked an appointment & accompanied an elderly friend for an eye exam. She uses a walker & is naturally shy—someone who would rather stay silent about an issue than bring it to someone’s attention, even if it could be easily fixed.

When we arrived, the staff at Stanton Optical were warm & welcoming. They treated my friend with kindness & patience, something she deeply appreciated. In her experience, service industry workers often lack the patience she needs, leaving her feeling like a burden. Not so with the team at Stanton Optical. They made her feel comfortable and valued as a customer.

While the staff was wonderful, my friend struggled with the actual eye exam. She squinted and had trouble relaxing her eyes because she was worried about “failing” the test and giving a bad impression. When we returned to pick up her glasses, we were once again greeted with a polite, warm welcome. The staff clearly enjoyed their work, and my friend was initially pleased with her new glasses. They assured her that if anything felt off in the coming days, she should reach out for an adjustment.

Much later, my friend confided in me that the glasses really weren’t working for her—she could barely see with them. Even though we were well past the standard adjustment period, I called Stanton Optical to explain the situation, and scheduled another appointment. We met with the branch manager, Tara, who went above and beyond to help my friend.

Tara took the time to reassure her, explaining that there was no such thing as passing or failing an eye exam. She gently reminded my friend that there was no reason to feel embarrassed if she couldn’t read certain letters on the chart. She emphasized that my friend was there to receive a service she had paid for, that no one was judging her, and that she had every right to expect glasses that actually worked for her. Her simple but thoughtful reassurance was exactly what my friend needed.

With Tara’s encouragement, my friend went into her new exam with confidence. Today, we picked up her new glasses, and once again, we were welcomed warmly. Tara personally checked the glasses and took her time ensuring that my friend could see clearly. She encouraged my friend to return if any adjustments were needed.

On the ride home, my friend was excitedly pointing out details she could now see—like street signs and license plates—things that had previously been a blur. It was great to witness her newfound confidence. Sometimes, elderly members of our community just need a little extra patience and understanding, and thanks to Tara and the team at Stanton Optical, my friend received exactly that.

If you have elderly friends or family who need glasses but are worried about how they’ll be treated, PLEASE take them to Stanton Optical on Albemarle Road. I am confident that Tara and the entire team will treat them with the dignity, kindness and patience they deserve.“

“I had a wonderful experience from the receptionist, to the eye exam, and picking out glasses. Wonderful staff all around.“

“Dr. Karen Jones of F. Y. Eye Care Associates worked me into her busy schedule the morning after I described to her that I had experienced an acute late night episode of a large floater which had temporarily obscured the vision in my left eye’s inferior nasal quadrant.

As a retired optometrist, I have had the privilege of providing and participating in eyecare to patients for more than three (3) decades. After passing the torch to the next generation, I now have become the patient. Trust in one's healthcare provider has to be earned by that individual’s display of genuine concern and professionalism.

Dr. Jones provided my complete and comprehensive medical eye exam to reassure me that I had experienced a common ocular anomaly referred to as a vitreous detachment. Fortunately, it was not the more serious ocular medical emergency of a retinal detachment which could have resulted in a permanent vision loss. She assured me that all the tests performed, i.e. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Automated Visual Field, OptoMap retinal scan, Intraocular Pressures, Dilated Fundus check, etc., indicated that all was well and I only need to be monitored periodically.

Thank you Dr. Jones for the care that you provided for my eyes.“

“University Eye Associates are the best. They are caring and very supportive. I would recommend them at the brookdale location to anyone.“

“I have been coming here for just over two years now. Dr Ryder and the entire team at Horizon Eye Care Waverly office are outstanding. Not only are they excellent professionally, but they airways make you feel cared for. They are genuinely pleasant people, regularly wearing a smile from greeting to goodbye. When I moved from PA to NC, my retinologist in PA recommended Dr Ryder, and I can see why. Bravo to Dr Ryder and his team!!!... Update: Three and a half years in and somehow they're better than ever! Dr Ryder and his team are simply THE BEST! I've also seen Dr Kluszny and his team for other eye care. They, too, are quite good. I strongly recommend Dr Ryder and Dr Kluszny of Horizon Eye Care if you seeking care for your eyes!“

“Excel Eye Care is absolutely top notch. I have been a patient for 5 years now and every experience is warm and inviting. Go check out their new location it is beautiful. The staff is professional and knowledgeable and willing to spend as much time as needed answering questions and explaing the exam. Appreciated you Dr. Bergin and team.“

“I highly recommend the EyeCare Center Ballantyne, the location is convenient, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and Dr. Askary is very thorough in his assessment of your eye care and explains every aspect of the exam in easy to understand details! I especially enjoyed selecting my new glasses with the technician!“

“I felt care for by the staff the best first visit ever and I once worked in a medical office where our customers are the patients“

“I went to the optical center located at Rivergate- Charlotte, NC. I was greeted with a pleasant smile and a big hello , how can I help you? The person that helped me was Renee. There was also a young man there helping another customer and another young lady ( Mel). All three were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Great experience!!!“

“I had to make a late appointment because of work schedule. My appointment was at 630 and they close at 7. The staff didn't rush me at all. Robin the manager ( I think) helped my selection of glasses and worked on the right purchase for my budget. They really took time for me and didn't rushed me since it was after closing time. I felt like a preferred customer with the service I was given. Thank you Hickory Stanton Optical.“

“Courteous staff , prompt attention and Dr Knudson simply charming with excellent bedside manners“

“The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable from start to finish. I really appreciated the courtesy call before my appointment to let me know there was an issue pulling up my insurance--thanks to that heads-up, check-in was quick and seamless. I saw Dr. B, who was patient, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly throughout the visit. Great experience overall!“

“Phillis was wonderful and I was able to find some x large frames the I liked for myself. We brought our whole family of four and are happy with the results.“

“We have been beyond pleased with Dr Carpenter and his office and staff. Personable, professional and spends the time listening to his patients. You never feel rushed or not heard. Dr Carpenter diagnosed what others missed. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing staff and considering I was a very nervous client, am thankful they were as patient and supportive as possible throughout the process. 10/10. ?“

“THE BEST YOU’VE EVER SEEN! About 4 years ago, I was looking for an optical store that specifically carried Lindberg frames, a specific 3 piece mount, or sometimes referred to as a rimless frame. Patrick helped me choose the most minimalist frame and shape of lenses. Today I still go there (almost a 2 hour drive) to have him readjust them. There is no better optical store in town than NuVue Optical! Ask for Patrick and he will take care of you also.“

“The staff were all amazing. The nurses were all very kind and attentive and listened to all my concerns while setting up my appointment and before meeting the doctor. By far the best doctor I've ever talked to, he was very attentive and validating of my concerns. He was very in-depth with every aspect of my eye injury care and preventative care, and eased my anxiety about it. I will absolutely come back!! I do not regret taking the chance to try this place. Thank you guys!!! :))“

“I have been a patient of Dr. Knudson for over 5 years and without a doubt he and his team is truly the best optometrist office I've ever been to. Dr. Knudson is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient and focused on providing the best experience possible regardless of what your eye care needs are. He has two locations but practices more at the Rea Farm location and regardless of which location you go to, you can expect excellent customer service, prompt attention and a professional environment. His offices offer LASIK surgery, contacts lenses, glasses and of course thorough eye exams. Over the years, I've come to consider him more of an friend than my doctor because of his honesty, friendly demeanor and expertise. I highly recommend Carolinas Vision group for all your eye care needs especially if you're looking for a new optometrist or looking to get an reliable, honest second opinion on your vision needs.“
