Fine Eyewear & Eye Care
Reviews
The most extensive exam you'll find short of an opthamologist! Lens positioning and quality are the best when you use Fine Eyewear to have your glasses made.
I was really frustrated with the way they charged. Without any consideration for patients' budgets, they run "highly technical" tests that normal eye exams from any other optometrist don't offer. You won't find out about these extra tests until you are ready to check out. Then they asked us to come back three times, charging us a doctor copay each time. Fine Eyewear likes to position itself as better than the rest. You will be treated very kindly, and then overcharged like the royalty they seem to believe you are. The cheapest pair of frames they offer are $199. The people are very nice and accomodating, but there is a reason they can have five people behind the counter with no one in the lobby for hours at a time. If you enjoy flushing your money down the toilet, I highly recommend these people.
We make yearly eye appointments for our entire family. My wife and I live in Germany working for the US government; and when we go on vacation to visit our sons and granddaughter, our first priority is to get our yearly eye exam. Because of this, we’ve decided to just do our yearly eye exams all together when we come to Texas. Dr. Tran-Minnick is very professional and caring. The staff has always been friendly and helpful at making appointments, via email, for the 4 of us all in a row on the same day. When the 5 of us (with granddaughter) came in August, we were greeted as VIPs. Our 4 individual appointments went smoothly and the staff was very helpful in making sure that we were satisfied as they have done in the years past. A million thanks to Dr. Tran-Minnick, John, Clarissa, and the rest of the staff whose names I can t think of at present. No one could expect any better VIP service than you provide. We look forward to our yearly visits.
Being a particularly hard to please customer I can say this is one of the better eye care places I have been too. I did have some problems with the quality of the eye glasses themselves. I choose some chrome Nautica frames that seemed good at the time; however after 1 weekend the ear pieces became loose and move back and forth about 2 millimeters. This is a bit annoying so I will not be choosing Nautica again for frames. As far as the exam and prescription goes I think it is a little off as usual, so I am not completely satisfied. The lenses themselves nevertheless, are of very high quality and are very clear. I may go back and get prescription sun glasses.
These guys are at the top of the class. All very professional and courteous. I appreciate all the time they spent with me to "get it right"! Thanks guys!
