It was my first visit to Kas Eye Center and I've switched and am not going back. My previous eye doctor could not get my distance prescription right and told me I'd just have to get used to it. Dr. Kas doublechecked my prescriptions and found that my distance prescription was way off and no wonder I felt so disoriented while wearing them. No way would I ever get used to them. My prescriptions are on their way to my lens crafter in Texas so in a couple of weeks I will receive them and will post another review then. Right now I am impressed by the friendly receptionist who also did some of my eye testing and got the prescription readings on the 4 pairs of glasses I had with me. Dr. Kas is a very smart man. He stays on task and works at making your prescription the best it can be. I am thrilled that this place is close to home for me but even if it wasn't I'd find a way to make it here every year! Oh, I noticed right off that they care about the details when I saw that they offered Starbucks coffee and nice cookies while you wait. I didn't have any wait at all and I don't drink caffeine but I noticed the nice and thoughtful touches all around.

Started going here a little over a year ago. The staff are super nice, friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to optometry. I always learn something new about the eye after meeting with the doctors. They also have some cool modern tech that removes the need for certain procedures like eye dilation. Very cool. They have a nice collection of frames that I find to be stylish for men. I highly recommend them.
