Wilcox Peter E OD
2652 George Washington Memorial Hwy,
Hayes, VA

Dr. Wilcox explained my eye exam well. He thoroughly examined my eyes and assessed my vision changes. He is very professional. His staff is very friendly and my prescription is perfect. I will be returning.

Dr Wilcox will hit/abuse your kids. Went to him when I was a child and he would hit you if you weren’t deciding fast enough when filling your eye prescription resulting in inaccurate prescriptions because your child will answer as quickly as possible even if they can’t see out of the lens just so they don’t get hit by Wilcox and leaving your child traumatized by a grown man putting his hands on them. Wilcox is an abuser and should lose his license. Don’t bring your children here

I wasn't going to write a review at all, but I feel as if I might be holding back from helping someone in the future by not doing so. Had I read any reviews similar to the one I am about to write prior to my visit with Dr. Peter Wilcox, I assure you, I would not have made the 3 hour one way trip to see him. Dr. Peter Wilcox kept trying different lenses for me, and it kept giving me eye strain. He said he didn't know what to tell me, then later he wrote a prescription for me and told me that I had to "stop asking questions and just try it." I asked him what the prescription was, and he said "Don't worry about it. Just get it. You're not the doctor." By this time I was furious and ended up not going with it because I drove all the way out to see him because due to our phone conversation a few weeks prior, I really thought he cared about my issues and wanted to help. Now fast forward months after seeing him, and finally being referred to a vision eye therapist by one of my old doctors, I finally know what my problem is. As it turns out, I do not need any eye glass prescription at all. My problem is not eye sight. It is a muscle focusing issue that primarily occurs when looking at any technology screen for too long, that only eye vision therapy can correct. This is the reason for getting written multiple different prescriptions and why none of them have worked and why I kept getting eye strain. My Board Certified eye vision therapist was able to thoroughly explain to me what was going on with my vision and now I finally understand. No more guessing games. I have to go to therapy to break down my eye muscles, then rebuild them. It takes time. I can finally say, the eye strain part is gone now that I have taken my glasses off. (Who would have thought?) The blurriness is still here, but that is because I need the therapy. I am currently on a waiting list and will be going through with it soon. So needless to say, don't go to Peter Wilcox with your eye issues. Honestly, you're probably not going to get anywhere with it, especially if it is a case of CVS (computer vision syndrome) like me. I'm sure he is good at what he does, but not at what he isn't actually familiar with. I am not a fan of a doctor who sends out false claims.
