Dr. Kenneth Corliss

Oct 2023

I do not recommend Dr Corliss. I purchased a pair of eyeglasses from him, he did not measure where the bi-focal line was to go. When the glasses came, the bi-focal line was too high and interfered with my far vision to the point I could not drive safely. I went back to him that same day and instead of taking responsibility for his mistake and correcting the problem he told me to wear my glasses on the bridge of my nose to accommodate his mistake. Wearing my glasses on the bridge of my nose gives me headaches and is uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I used my insurance and paid over $100+ for the glasses. I am now forced to wearing my old glasses (one Lense has a scratch on it) and will be for the next 2 years. I am upset that Dr Corliss does not run an ethical business and does not choose to do the right thing. And the new glasses that are unwearable was a complete waste of money.

Upon walking in you'll notice a strong mildew smell, the office hasn't been updated since the 80's/90's, which should've been a blaring red flag to gtfo.Both my husband and I had back to back appointments.The dr was extremely short staffed. They had 2 employees missing that day, one had just quit(I think I now know why and the other sounded like they were on an extended vacation?) we waited over 2 hours to be seen. We were essentially seen together,husband did go back first,had his exam then they called me back for mine while my husband sat in during my exam. The dr essentially ignored any small talk I had towards him and would only really respond to my husband, I picked up on some misogyny, however considering the drs age it's par for the course. I was just there for my eyes after all, not to gain a new friend,so I chalk it up him having absolutely terrible personal skills. After our exam is complete he tells us to go pick out glasses. They really give you zero options of going outside their office for frames and they have a terribly small selection of frames.Then we were brought back to the bookkeepers office...wooo boy back to the 80's again. She even used an adding machine! What in 1985 is happening!?? Stacks of file boxes..they need to update badly.The price for the mediocre frames/lenses for both of us was almost TRIPLE the price than the previous year buying both sunglasses AND bifocal glasses elsewhere!!TRIPLE!!!!!After investing close to 3 hours of being at the appointment,we just paid what we could and ordered the glasses. We just wanted to get on with our day!Now comes to picking them up..they don't really keep with the hours posted, they leave early and whatnot so my husband and I got there @3:30 on a Friday, as we had called ahead.The door was locked,but the elderly bookkeeper opened it and led us to the room where they fit glasses. She hands me mine and the card to test how well you can see fine print, I can clearly see the fine print, she never once asks me how the far vision is, and I cannot test this because the room is so small. It took some adjustment to get them not to sit crooked on my face. She kept setting them upside down on the counter saying "see see they are even on the counter laying flat!" Last I checked people are not symmetrical and glasses are fit to your face not how flat they sit on a counter. I've never in all the years having glasses have such a weird fitting. Thankfully my husbands fit with only a little adjustment, even then she didn't seem to know wtf she was doing. Clearly this was NOT what she reg does in this office. Later in the evening when I try to watch tv, I realize I cannot see any of the letters or subtitles that I could see with my old glasses! The script is terribly wrong! I can see infinitely better with my old glasses and everything is blurry with the new glasses.I call the following Monday and they say they had a cancellation @1. When I get there the dr is huffy. He said to me "well I don't have time to give you an exam today!! But I can check the glasses to see if there was an error" yet they told me they had a cancellation...wouldn't that be a whole appointment worth of time???He then comes back in and I can tell he's agitated and he starts being really short with me. He starts asking me about my diabetes and says it's my diabetes that's making my new glasses wrong.. and when I keep asking why my old glasses were still pretty great, that I could read far away and see subtitles with the old glasses but not the new ones,he is dismissive and starts grilling me about my diabetes control again,then he starts mentioning the slight cataract he diagnosed me with and then says he needs me to test and log my fasting blood for 2 weeks until my next appointment ,because it's my fault my new glasses don't work.. I still keep asking about why my old pair work fine and he just wouldn't have it. He just kept gaslighting me, telling me it's my diabetic issue. I am close
