Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations detect vision changes and eye diseases while assessing overall ocular health. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we evaluate visual acuity, eye coordination, and intraocular pressure. These exams are essential for early detection of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, ensuring timely intervention and optimal vision preservation.
Cataract Surgery
We specialize in modern no-stitch cataract removal with premium intraocular lens implants. Our ambulatory surgical center utilizes topical anesthesia eliminating needles and eye patches. Patients benefit from rapid recovery times and improved visual clarity through advanced multifocal and toric lens options tailored to individual vision needs.
LASIK Correction
Our laser vision correction procedures treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism using state-of-the-art excimer laser technology. The outpatient procedure reshapes the cornea for lasting vision improvement, with personalized treatment plans ensuring optimal outcomes for patients seeking reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
Glaucoma Treatment
We offer comprehensive glaucoma management including early detection through visual field testing and OCT imaging. Treatment options range from medicated eye drops to advanced laser therapies and minimally invasive surgical procedures, all aimed at preserving optic nerve health and preventing vision loss.
Optical Services
Our full-service optical departments provide designer eyewear, sunglasses, and specialized lenses including progressive, photochromic, and computer vision glasses. Certified opticians assist with frame selection and precision lens fitting, offering premium options for children, adults, and patients with complex vision requirements.

Overbook patients is the norm so expect long wait times. Eye doctors get annoyed if you ask a question, so don't ask any questions. Not too fond of bifocals, but that was is covered by insurance. Parking Lot is huge and no big potholes. Would have liked some free samples of eye drops.

Report
My 25 year old son went here after an eye exam because he was referred for a second eye exam by our opthalmologist. His original Dr was concerned because he is only 25 and was getting a lot of "floaters" in his eyes, which is not really normal. She had him get a blood test to make sure it was not for another medical reason. The doctor here said "Yes you have floaters in your eyes, and you get them as you get older.
Come if you see flashes of lights." This man pretty much dismissed him. I am 54 and I don't have floaters in my eyes that prevent me from seeing that "come with age". I think they should have shown more concern and offered possible information on what he should do next. I mean this is not really a normal occurrence for a young man that does not have a head injury."

Total Scam. Exceptionally high/marked up prices on glasses and contact lenses. Lack of transparency with billing; they waited until after eye exam to tell me that they did not accept my insurance. Lack of customer service skills. You are treated as a number and have to digitally sign paperwork with almost every interaction you have with a person. If you call, don't expect to talk to anyone. You will go directly to an answering machine. Do not go here.

The office staff were professional, as were the nurses. Kind, informative, efficient. Dr. Evenchik was unprofessional and dismissive. He ignored two questions I asked completely. I tried to ask again and he ignored them again. He talked about me to his staff, but did not talk to me except to tell me to move my head or my eyes. He didn't tell me what he was going to do or why before he did it, just gave me orders.
He gave me a prescription, no explanation, and walked out of the room, giving me one last shot of important information as he left so that I could not ask questions. I'll call my health insurance provider on Monday to let them know how bad this experience was, and I've already made a new appointment elsewhere. I waited weeks for this appointment, now I have to wait 3 months for the new appointment. This rating system doesn't allow for no stars or I would have given no stars.

This practice does not require it's staff to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. There is no excuse for this considering that they will be literally right in our faces. On the upside I felt very well taken care of by John at the Pittsfield location. He did an excellent job of working with me to find frames in a style I like that would work for the size that I need. I would give the place 5 stars for my experience working with John alone, but I am passionately against a medical practice expecting patients to come in and be exposed to non-vaccinated staff.
