Honestly not sure how my vision appointment could have been worse. Techs run the show here.
Dr Van Buren is a good ophthalmologist but I SERIOUSLY regret I had a vision appointment here.
Techs diagnose your vision prescription.
My glasses are awful. The vision is bad & the astigmatism correction is barely there. Everything is slightly blurry and at night I see orbs.
I've never had a more-off prescription.
I'm so unhappy with this prescription I've gone back in to have the vision double checked & yet they don't really fix it. I've had Target remake the lenses & still that barely helped.
Within 35 days of going here, I went to a different eye doctor. She's fixed my prescription perfectly & Target is more than happy to remake my lenses. So happy I don't have to go back & deal with the techs here.
If all these techs "are so experienced" why in two appointments did I never get a correct vision prescription? I feel like I wasted my 2017 benefit.
Some other things I didn't like about this appointment:
*The techs never introduced themselves, stated their qualifications, or explained that they would be the ones to figure out my vision prescription.
*Their glaucoma test equipment is literally as old as it gets. They numb your eye and then put a metal+glass contraption directly on your eyeball. That seems incredibly high risk. Invest in the eye-puff machine.
*At checkout, their teenager/young adult running the credit cards had the "courage" to tell me they don't accept my medical insurance to schedule a medical appointment (i.e. not vision) with Dr Van Buren. I had my Cigna app open, in front of her, confirming he's a contracted medical provider.
I've had 6 eye doctors in my life because of different locations & insurances.
Never have I had such a nightmare with such a terrible prescription.
