UPMC Eye Center encompasses a variety of different services. I've been seeing Dr. Sundar-Raj on the 7th floor as my primary optometrist for a number of years. He really takes his time with me during our appointments, making sure he understands my needs and providing a comprehensive and thorough exam. I have ordered my contacts through the Eye Center, however, I have not utilized their glasses services.
The reception staff here is super-chipper and friendly. I can typically get an appointment quickly, and they offer early-morning appointments so I can be seen before work if needed.
The second service I have utilized is on the 6th floor, the Department of Ophthalmology. I had lost vision in my right eye (it did come back within 30 minutes), and was able to get an appt the next day. Even though it turned out nothing was seriously wrong, the staff reassured me that coming in was the right thing to do and performed a range of tests to make sure everything was top-notch with my peepers.
Parking is typically discounted to 5 dollars for visitors to the Eye Center, let reception know and they'll give you the discount ticket. A parking garage is attached and can be entered on Lothrop Street. You may pay with either cash or credit upon exit.
