Visionworks Doctors of Optometry

This eye appointement was one of the best eye visits I have ever had. The optometrist was very easy going, and easy to talk to when it came to my eye care concerns. The staff were friendly and eager to assist you with any of your eye care needs. They also tried to make the appointment as affordable as possible giving me the biggest discount they had at the time, very generous I might add. I ended up not having much of a change to my eye sight but learned why some of my concerns about my eyes could be easily fixed. Ended up learning something new and meeting some great people! your ‘s; make an appointment today with Dr. Mark Lynn and Associates at the new Albany state street location! (812)941−0476

The staff does all of the prerequisite testing before you see the doctor. There’s the machine that has the moving dot and the machine that blows air into your eye that freaks you the fuck out every time even though you know it’s coming. There’s this nifty machine that will take deep space photographs of the inside of your eyeball thus eliminating the need for dilation. It takes a few minutes to get right because your eye has to be in *just* the right position to get usable pictures.
No one tells you that your insurance doesn’t cover this awesome newfangled test until *after* they’ve done it and they present you with a bill in hopes that you’ll feel somehow obligated to pay for it. It’s $ 30 so if you have enough guilt in your bank to cover that, maybe go ahead and buy it. Or you could do what I did and get all pissy about it and get dilated so you can get those really cool disposable sunglasses.
The doctor was a smallish man who talked to me like I was Forrest Gump’s slow third cousin. His slow sing-​songy tone was likely intended to put me at ease. It was creepy and irritating. He was nice enough, I suppose, and he managed to get the prescription right so if you can handle being talked to like you just got harpooned with Thorazine, have at it.
The optical technicians were great at being completely invisible until I had questions and promptly provided adequate information regarding what was and wasn’t covered under my plan and then left me alone to decide on the frame. I selected something from the clearance display because I’m a frugal bitch and wanted to get the most bang for my optical buck.
Unfortunately, less than a week later, the damn things came apart and I haven’t been in the area to take them in to get repaired so I’m still wearing my cheap ass, lopsided, made-​in-​China mail order glasses.
