Visionary Optometry

I love this place! I came in for an eye exam (first one in a while) and they were extremely nice. Made my appointment very smooth. I was extremely pleased!

Horrible experience. I did the research found this provider on my contracted list of optometrists. Provided my insurance information over the phone. Read all the reviews. Everything looked great and I did see the one review with the insurance issue as well. Which I thought was one case out of all the reviews. I took time off work for this appointment.
I signed in and then I was finally told they are not contracted with my plan. They are not contracted for materials frames and contacts which is the only reason why I needed to get my exam done. I would have to pay for the exam. I was told even if they are listed on my plan they are not necessarily contracted. I just wish they could have called me prior to coming in to tell me that information. I gave them all my insurance information and I made sure to tell them the name of my vision plan. Per the prior review insurance is checked prior to appointments. The office is small and they have a very small selection of frames.
I will give them this, they both seemed really nice. But I just wish I knew ahead of time that they are not contracted.

So, Dr Ley Himself called and left me a message apologizing for how things were handled. Apparently insurance is supposed to be checked a head of time and confirmation calls are usually made 2 days in advance. I still have not been to his practice but it does take a big person to admit when they are wrong and you have to respect that.

Dr. Lay and his wife are professional and friendly and run a family friendly office. My husband and I are so happy to have found them and now our children go to them as well for vision exams. They have a wonderful selection of glasses to choose from and we always end up with fun glasses and sunglasses! I love supporting a small business and they treat their patients with utmost respect!

A true family business. This husband and wife make a fantastic team. The office is immaculate and they are very accommodating. Lily runs the office very efficiently and Dr. Was amazing with my boys’ exams. We have our family eye dr!

This a place that my wife had me go to. It is a husband and wife operated business. Out of the few times I have been there I have not waited long to be seen and have not seen people wait either. The service provided by this team is top notch, very professional and the check up is complete. Just like any other optometry business they also offer frames. other than the basic the business is easy to get to but a bit out of the way.

Always a pleasure! I went to this doctor back when he was located at Vista Village and was so pleased when I found this location a couple of years ago. They are caring and professional — truly an amazing duo! I always enjoy my visits and will continue! Thank You!

The two people who work here are so nice! I was in and out really quick as well– always a bonus. I didn’t look into the cost of glasses here; however, I did see a couple cute frames, if that helps anyone.

I had to cancel my Costco appointment as they didn’t take insurance so I was scrambling to find someone on a Saturday. I was very surprised their office was able to fit me in at the last minute. Additionally, the Dr. was extremely informative, gentle and thorough. Honestly I can say it was the best exam I have ever had.

Dr. Lay is exceptional in his practice. He takes the time to explain everything he is doing as he goes. Lily was very friendly from start to finish. They are a great team and I highly recommend them.

Dr. Lay and Lily are is AMAZING!!! Thank you Dr. Lay and Lily for making me so comfortable and explaining everything to me! This was only my second eye exam I have ever had and my first experience (not with Dr. Lay) was not so good so I waited 3 years to find a new place. Where did I turn to? Well, Unilocal of course and was blown away at the reviews. There are no words to describe how welcoming, friendly, caring, understanding, non-​judgmental, open, honest, educational and down right wonderful Dr. Lay and Lily are to their patients. Dr. Lay explained everything he was doing and provided the rationale behind the information. He cares so much about his patients and empowers us with the knowledge on how to take care of our eyes between visits. I highly recommend Dr. Lay and can’t wait to pick up my glasses in a few weeks!

I have had three visits to Visionary Optometry for annual check ups and each time I have been impressed. Dr Lay is very friendly and courteous. He takes time to educate patients throughout the exam process. I recommended Visionary Optometry to my sister and it was great to hear that she had the same great experience there that I had. They definitely deserve their five star rating.

One of the best optometrist experience I ever had! Both Dr. Lay and Lily were very sweet and courteous.
Would recommend to anyone coming in for an eye exam. I had both an eye and contact fitting done today.

I love the Lays! No other optometrist will ever compare to Dr. Lay. He and Lily are the nicest people in the world. I’ve been going to them for years, but last year i got LASIK last year and had to see Dr. Lay multiple times for follow ups to make sure my eyes were healing right. I was driving about 45 minutes each way for an appointment, but I didn’t trust anybody else to care about my eyes as much as he did. He was really helpful in explaining what was going on with my eyes, and recommending eye drops and making sure I wasn’t straining my eyes too much.

Dr. Lay himself takes the time to explain the condition of your eyes, and that is appreciated. However, I did not get my PD measured, as it is customary because without this, you cannot get glasses. If the whole purpose of a visit is for you to get glasses, then all the information should be on the prescription. When I called to ask on whether the PD was measured, I was told that because I did not order glasses from them, my PD was not measured. They made it seem as if they were doing me a favor by measuring my PD for free when I paid close to $ 100 for an eye exam (glasses and contacts) and that was with vision insurance.
Although knowledgeable, I do not find it helpful for them to not measure a necessary component for the attainment of glasses. When you visit, I recommend doing your homework to make sure they measure everything you need in order for you to get contacts and glasses independent of having to acquire from their shop (if you so choose to purchase your contacts and glasses elsewhere).

Just wow!
Dr. Lay and Lily were amazing.
Lily was super friendly and willing to answer my questions about insurance and what is covered and what wasn’t.
Dr. Lay went above and beyond in telling me what he was doing, was jovial and happy to see me (a new client). Due to my work schedule I wouldn’t really be able to get in to see them and he made some time at the end of the day to fit me in anyways. He explained everything in detail but in a way I could understand it and gave me the impression that he deeply cares for his patients.
I highly recommend going to see Dr. Lay!

I needed an eye appointment for my husband and myself and googled doctors near our home. I chose Dr. Lay because of his reviews on Unilocal.He is the best eye doctor. The moment you are greeted you feel like family. His receptionist is kind and worked with me and my schedule. Doctor was upfront about every cost and made sure I knew everything he was doing. I have VSP insurance-​which he takes. I highly recommend dr lay!

I am SO happy I went to Visionary Optometry. Dr Lay was SO kind and professional. Considering this was my first eye exam in 15 years and I clearly needed glasses, he was very educational and helped me understand what was happening to my eyes and why. he also gave me a lot of great tips for taking care of my eyes! the glasses they helped me pick out are beautiful and they came in right on time. I’m a happy camper!

WOW! I just finished my eye exam with Dr. Lay and he is so wonderful! One of the best eye doctors I have ever met! They are extremely friendly and very welcoming. I really appreciate how the doctor explained everything throughout the entire exam. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family! Excellent customer service!

MOST PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY BUSINESS EVER! Dr. Lay is the nicest man and his assistant is super helpful and very sweet. Extremely professional and genuine. Dr. Lay made a follow up call to me to see how my first pair of glasses were working out. We need more businesses like this. I will refer everyone I know that wears glasses to him near or far. Quality.
