Basem MetriMarch 10, 2026Dr. Andrew Lakkis is hands down the best optometrist I’ve ever been to. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and takes the time to explain everything clearly so you feel confident about your eye health. The whole experience was smooth and professional, and he genuinely cares about his patients. If you’re looking for an optometrist who is skilled, attentive, and truly dedicated, I can’t recommend Dr. Lakkis enough!Posted on Google
Scott WakefieldJuly 9, 2025Great job by Dr. Allison Wasz diagnosing and treating my eyes! I can see much clearer now - love these new glasses!!! I definitely recommend anyone in the area to use them for the best eyecare in town!!Posted on Google
Poudy catJune 25, 2025Ever wonder why people come here when they close so early and don't open on weekends? I sure did, and I regret going to other optometrists for the weekend appointments. This place is top quality. The exam with Dr. Wasz was conducted properly and not rushed. As with good practice, she ensured that prescription is accurate and sufficient (not unnecessarily high). She fixed a problem I had with previous glasses, based on the material of the lens. Finally, the prices for glass lenses felt fair and competitive, at least compared to other optometrists' offices. Glasses fit is also ensured before leaving. Front staff is willing to help. Definitely prompt them on insurance, don't leave without making sure you're getting your benefits from the insurance, the front staff is not all-knowledgeable on all insurance types but are willing to check spec-sheets on their end and help.Posted on Google
Quinn ToroMay 29, 2025Dr. Wasz, Dr. Greene, Jackie, and the front desk ladies are a very informative and kind team. Definitely recommend coming here!Posted on Google
Freddi DiPonzioMay 5, 2025What an amazing experience! They have some super cool state-of-the-art equipment. Totally blew me away! The staff at this office are great. The receptionist made it very easy to book the appointments and was very kind and helpful when I arrived. Dr.Wazc beyond amazing! She definitely exceeded all of my expectations. Best bedside manner from an optometrist I have ever experienced. She is knowledgeable, friendly, easy going and provided me with a superb experience all around. She found the right contacts for me at the right price. No judgments, no sales pitches. I think I have found my lifetime optometrist! Thank you Dr. Wazc 🤓Posted on Google

Tom HarrisonOctober 15, 2021If you would like to be treated like a mall visitor, by all means go to a national chain. You'll see just about average afterwards. If you would like to get personal service from the long-time owners of a local business. go see the brothers Greene in Watertown Square. You'll pay the same and see much better. I have been going to Greene & Greene for a decade or more and my eyes haven't improved at all! What the heck? Oh right, they just do glasses. What I can say is that I can see exactly what I need to, and for me that's not just a typical situation. I have "over 40 eyes" so can't see things that are close. Pretty typical, except I am a software engineer so stare at screens all days. I get especially aggravated when "the kids" use a 3-point font with light-gray foreground and darker-gray background. So I need killa specs -- that way the kids (who are like, easily in their mid forties or even younger!) don't know I am 60. I got lenses that are perfect for where I sit, and they have adjustments for glare, reflection (so I don't look like a serial killer on Zoom calls), anti-scratch and prisms or something like that for my odd prescription. These are in frames that even I have not figured out how to break yet, and that are as stylish as a 60-year-old software engineer can pull off (and no jokes about BluBlockers, please!!) And then I need really close glasses for iPhone and the like. I got some supah-cool wire frames that I can put in a soft case in my pocket (oh yeah, no hanging from my neck baloney for me). These frames are so bendy I can do all sorts of horrifying things and they still work great. Because I have these specs in my pocket nearly all the time, I can see in great detail almost all the time. If I had gone to Lens Crufters or Eye-o-matic, or one of those other mall places I never would have gotten these frames, that last forever (10 years on the bendy ones, and 3 on my second pair of the others, first ones I lost). Also I would probably have just accepted the first prescription. With Dr. Greene he asked me how they were and I said "not sure yet" and he instantly told me we should get the prescription right. And he figured out how I could avoid paying too much for amazing frames. And yeah, amazing frames are amazing because (if you don't lose them) they last forever. And that's why I am writing a review like this and not just "awesome glasses" or something. It's really great to have experienced, skilled doctors, but it's even better when they are the ones who know that many of us would jump at the chance to have actual humans, who treat us like actual humans. Crazy, right?Posted on Google
