Salt + Light Eye Care

These people are really good at their job. I had been seeing another eye doctor for several years, and struggling with my prescription. It was changing all over the place, and frequently I was having major eye strain. They figured out why my other eye doctor had struggled, and got me a new prescription that has been a million times better. There is a reason they are all 5 star reviews! On the insurance front, I was able to submit my exam fees to my insurer. The insurance company has been terrible about it and required an appeal, but will ultimately reimburse. I actually waited to write a review until I heard back from insurance... 6 months later. Honestly though, these people are so fantastic that if my eye insurance wasn't free through my employer, I would drop it and just stick with them. The eye exam fee was in line with what I have seen elsewhere in town, and reasonable given the quality of service. One last note, I can't speak to the quality of the glasses they carry at their location. I took a look, but none of their frames were quite my style. I tend to prefer thin, metal and rimless frames, and their frames are more fashion forward, heavier plastic frames. Definitely stylish, just not my thing. They tried to see if they had something I'd like, but weren't pushy once they realized it wasn't what I was looking for. All in all, a great experience and I will be back! Finding providers that aren't just OK, but are great in ABQ is hard; this is one of the great ones.

What an amazing experience at Salt and light eye care. Dr. Monte is amazing! She was able to identify and correct issues I have been having for years that other doctors overlooked. Her patient care and attention to detail makes me highly recommend her practice. Today I started the FDA approved Optilight IPL laser treatment for dry eyes. The first treatment went great. I will update as the series of 4 treatments progress.

It is always such a pleasure to see Dr. Monte and her team. Dr. Monte listens to my concerns when it comes to my eye glasses/changes in vision and ensures a thorough examination every time I visit. I appreciate the environment as well as the selection of eye glasses she offers. Dr. Monte is easily the best optometrist NM has to offer. Very thankful I found her & her dedicated team.
