| - We've been coming to America's Best Contacts and Eyeglasses for our daughter for several years. Started out at the 75th Ave location, which was always super busy and had long wait times, then moved to this one after it opened because it's closer. We've never encountered much of a crowd at this location.
Overall, not a bad place to go for eye exams and affordable glasses. They usually offer a promo where you buy two pairs of glasses for $69.95 and the exam is included for free...this worked out well when our daughter was younger and wore glasses. Now that she's in contacts and the exams are priced differently, we opted to pay $99 for a 3 year Eyecare Club membership, which gives you unlimited eye exams throughout that time and discounts on contact lenses. We've found that even with the discounted pricing at America's Best, we still get a better deal ordering from another internet company, online.
The doctors at this location are all really great, based on our experience...super personable and efficient. They do a good job with kids and teenagers. The technicians are so-so, they're generally younger and don't always exude professionalism, but no real problems or complaints. The only things I've found slightly irksome are the fact that you have to fill out the same extensive questionnaire every single time you come in, regardless of how long it's been since last exam, and the fact that they sort of put the pressure on you to do the optional health screening (for tumors or other diseases, I'm not entirely sure what they look for) which is at an additional cost of $15...and if you opt out, they give you a little bit of a guilt trip. But maybe all of that is to be expected wherever you go? I do really like that you can set up appointments online, and they usually have same-day openings.
We've been pretty pleased with our experience here, so I would definitely recommend it for affordable eye care.
