Eyes Of The World
2036 E 17th Ave,
Denver, CO

Update: after posting yesterday, the manager called me and informed me that they 𝗱𝗼 make appointments for emergencies and that he’ll speak with the front desk to ensure they’re doing that properly. The manager and doctors are all very nice here, I think it was a misunderstanding with me and the person who originally answered my call. Thank you guys for calling me back, much appreciated. Original post: I’ve gone here for routine eye exams for a couple of years, and those have been good. I currently have sand in one eye and they won’t see me to get it checked out/rinsed out. I was told that they’re booked out for a while and to call my local optometrist. EOTW is my local optometrist. If they can’t see me within a day or two when there is a minor emergency then I don’t know why I’m going to them. The lack of support when it’s needed most is enough to make me switch optometrists. Just beware that they won’t fit you in if your eye is irritated/red/watering and needs attention. Editing to add: I visited another eye doctor in the area and I have an abrasion and infection. Very grateful that the other doctor could fit me in for an urgent situation.

I’ve been going to Eyes of the World ever since living in Denver. Really excellent care team here! Dr. Lachenman is a fantastic optometrist: very thorough, considerate, and clear. I have referred several people to her because she provides such comprehensive care, and she understands the insurance side as well; not all optometrists make sure their patients know about medically necessary contacts if their prescriptions qualify, but Dr. Lachenman is great about this. The rest of the staff are very efficient and friendly people. Optician Jesse Vega is extremely knowledgeable about glasses hardware and lenses, and also great with navigating vision insurance benefits. Overall a very positive care experience.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Booking was simple, checking in was efficient, all staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Will happily return for all my exams and lenses in the future, and will be recommending to all my friends/family in the Denver area!
