Columbus Eyecare Associates

Dr. Dollenmayer has been my family optometrist for almost 15 years. I am writing this review because I still call him my eye doctor after living in Chicago for over 12 years. As a professional photographer I simply do not trust my eye site to anyone else. I always make a special trip just to see him. I know that I can always all the office and Beth will take care of me. It is such a relief to know that I am in the hands of a sincere, honest and true professional. Five stars to Columbus Eye Care Associates!!! They are truly a winning team!

Called to check prices on getting my contact lens prescription renewed without insurance and it was $ 115 for the exam and $ 25 – 150 for the fitting. Hope that information helps :)

I needed an eye exam and new glasses, so after randomly meeting one of the opticians at a dinner party, I made an appointment. Since moving to Columbus in 2005, I have gone to a few local places for eye exams, prescriptions, contact lenses, and new glasses but none of them wowed me enough to go back; this place did!
Dr. Smiley was wonderful and took a lot of time answering questions and explaining that several medications I take can mess with vision. I am one of those people who just can’t handle that air puff glaucoma test, and they happily did the test another way. I went ahead and brought the most recent glasses I got but have never really worn because after having the frames adjusted five different times, they still never fit. Come to find out, not only were the frames severely warped and the lenses installed poorly, the prescription was way too strong!
I had planned on checking out new frames but was very hesitant to make a decision after being burned on my last pair. However, Sam the optician, was fantastic and I found a pair I loved in no time. She was very easy to work with, listened to what I liked and didn’t like, and is obviously a pro at finding glasses to suit different faces. I brought my fiancé along to help me pick out frames and they insisted on cleaning and adjusting his glasses while he waited, even though they were not purchased there. They offered to order in frames in different colors for me to see and even mentioned that I could take a pair of frames home if I needed to think about it more. Fortunately, I easily found a pair I love and am now counting down to when I can pick them up next week.
Overall, a fantastic experience! I already have a second pair of frames in mind for when my insurance starts over.
One last thing worth noting: this place is a little hard to find at first. It is in a larger building with several office suites and there isn’t much signage outside. When we first got to the address, I was worried my GPS had screwed up, but no, there just isn’t a sign outside.

Columbus Eyecare was wonderful to me. They answered all my questions and always asked if I had any additional questions.
My eye exam was easy and painless and the doctor and nurses quick but not pushy about getting to the next patient.
Picking out my frames was also a breeze made better by one of the tech that talked to me the whole time and even put on the glasses I’d picked out to show how the differences.
The whole process was great and I will return.
