Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye exams assess vision health for all ages, detecting conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We use advanced technology to ensure accurate prescriptions and early disease detection. Patients receive personalized care tailored to their visual needs and medical history.
Dry Eye Treatment
We specialize in managing dry eye disease using the Tear Care System, offering relief from symptoms like redness and irritation. Treatment focuses on restoring tear film stability through innovative technology and personalized care plans for long-term comfort.
Eyeglasses and Sunglasses
We offer premium prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, and non-prescription eyewear with a free warranty. Our opticians use the M'eyeFit Digital Measuring System for precise lens alignment, ensuring optimal comfort and clarity with brands like Varilux and Crizal.

I called last year (2021) to make an appointment they told me they didn't have any openings until 06/2022. I received a call last week stating that my appointment has been cancelled bc the doctors wont be in office, which I understand. I told the frontdesk lady to call me back to rs appt bc her computer was down at the time, its been over a week and nothing so i called again to schedule and they are not seeing me till January 2023. This is not fair!

I am very disappointed with the customer service, namely Gretchen. She lacks in her technical skills and needs to develop some customer service skills. Does not own up to her mistakes but adds to the problem and doesn't offer a productive solution.

Took my 6yr old twins to their first appointments this week and Dr Vincent was amazing! The receptionist was friendly and helpful, our nurse (didn't catch her name)was so good with the kids and Carrie in the lens department was beyond kind. Thank you guys for all you do! Just wanted to update. My twins had their yearly appointment yesterday and my daughter has a great deal of fear and anxiousness when it comes to eye drops and exams. Our technician I believe her name was LJ was a godsend. She handled it all beautifully and calmly. Thank you! Dr. Vincent was amazing as always making the kids feel safe and comfortable.

My appointment was at 2pm I was on time and took off work. After waiting 15 minutes I asked how much longer as I have another appointment after this. I was told all the exam rooms are full. But another patient came in after me and was taken almost right away. It was obvious this patient was known to the staff so she got preferential treatment. My time is worth the same as their time. Also it takes months to get an appointment so Sussex Eye doesn't need your business

I just went there to have glasses made. The first pair of glasses they made were awful. They didn't fit right so I couldn't even see through the progressive lens. They made a second pair. These were so big they fell off my face. I went back to have them sized but after two days they were falling off my face again. I ended up having to buy another pair of glasses somewhere else. Those glasses were two sizes smaller.
