Smyrna Eye Group

The whole staff was super friendly and the appointment was quick and easy, yet very thorough. Dr. Jones was awesome and answered all of my questions. The selection of glasses was fantastic!

Been going to Dr. Weiss for over 20 years and I won’t trust my eyes to anyone else. He was the one to catch my detached retina when 2 other doctors had no clue what was wrong with me. Like others have said, their glasses are a bit expensive but their contact prices are not bad.

Beware Hidden Costs!
When I walked in I was very impressed with their new office. Exam went well, but it was at check out that I decided I won’t be returning to Smyrna Eye Group.
The eye exam will run you $ 125, but if you wear contacts it’s another $ 55.00. If you wear touric contacts it’s another $ 55.00. If you go for the optomap it’s another $ 30.00.
All in all my exam cost over $ 300 bucks! I was extremely disappointed that they charged me $ 110.00 for a contact lens «fitting» even though I have been wearing contacts for 20 years, and tourics for 5. When I questioned the charge I was told that because I was a new patient I would have to pay for this fitting, even though I was prescribed the exact same lenses I walked in with. Further frustrating was the fact that they gave me two different samples because they didn’t have the correct lens for my right eye. So I had to pay for a fitting that wasn’t even done correctly? I will not be returning to Smyrna Eye Group.

Get an eye exam here but buy your glasses somewhere else. The doctors are very good and they provide a thorough exam. But the glasses are all cheaply made, mostly from China. I chose to have them put new lenses in my existing frames. Big mistake. They cut one of the lenses incorrectly, which took an extra week and an extra office visit. They don’t have any evening hours, so be prepared to give up your Saturday morning (or two).

I moved more than 2,000 miles away and still managed to keep Smyrna Eye Group as my eye doctor of choice. That is in large part to Dr. Harper, who I find to be exceptional at his profession and it is a pleasure to be under his regular care. I also like the option of the Optomap technology in lieu of eye dilation, something I have had a hard time finding at other offices.
However, while the doctor and care are arguably the most important part, my affection for Smyrna Eye Group stops there. Over the years I have had several frustrating experiences with the rest of the office staff. An instance of failing to repair or replace a defective lens coating, or even cut me a deal, a few years ago made me skeptical. And last time the sales staff ringing the register and pushing lens products has was inefficient to the point of being offensive.
Sorry Doc, probably going to finally look a little closer to home. But it was a good run.

Woke up this morning with pain in my right eye, which usually for us contact lens wearers means an eye infection. I take my vision very seriously, I know that a small condition left untreated can develop quickly so I wanted to see an eye doctor as soon as possible. I called around 11:30 am on a Friday afternoon, explained my situation, and was scheduled an appointment for the same day at 3:00 pm.
Everyone was helpful and really nice, and I appreciate them being able to take care of me so quickly. I was in and out in 30 minutes with everything I needed to feel better.
