I'm so happy to have found Bender Eye! I received an excellent exam last month. I discovered I was misdiagnosed with cataracts in both eyes by another optometrist last year! I had been suffering with intermittent blurry vision for over 1 year only to discover it is likely from a dry eye condition, not cataracts. I am now using eye drops twice daily recommended by Bender Eye and my condition has greatly improved! I picked up my new glasses today. They fit so much better than my old ones!! The office is also elegant and beautifully decorated.

Great doctors, poor business practices. Got bait and switched for my annual eye exam. When they called to confirm my appointment, they also confirmed that I would only be paying my insurance co-pay. When I left to pay, they charged me $50 for a lens fitting that I didn't ask for, nor told about when I signed in. Very stupid move, I probably would have approved the extra charge if they'd told me beforehand. Hope the extra $50 was worth my lost future business and the $500 I still need to spend on contacts/sunglasses.

I've been going to Bender Optometric Group for years, and I love this place. They used to have an office across the street from where they are located now, and I didn't mind that office at all, but their new place is beautiful, with lots of … More

Dr. Nguyen's office offers a family like, personal atmosphere where all my questions were answered thoughtfully. It is quite affordable- the doctor and her staff made every effort to save me money when I needed a complicated new pair of glasses and contacts. Also, Dr. Nguyen uses a new technology to view the entire retina without the need to chemically dilate the pupil, allowing me to drive safely and continue with a normal routine the day of examination. I have severe myopia, and have been to many optometrists but she is the only one to explain my eye's function clearly, and the improvement in my vision today is excellent.

I thought it would be good, but this was far beyond. Every staff member, every detail and so much accomplished in one visit - my first visit. Dr. Farid is warm and friendly while brilliant in her knowledge, understanding and analysis of my needs. I’m looking forward to my procedure. For anyone who has experienced the Cleveland Clinic, this is as close as we have come—

Dr Farid is truly an expert ophthalmologist but also shows such caring for her patients. She literally saved my right eye. I have utmost respect for her and her wonderful staff because they show that to me. I thank God for her every day.

Dr. Farid performed cataract and IOL implant for me. The results are just as she predicted and I am very pleased with the outcome. Pre-op and post-op appointments were on time and everything was explained very clearly. I would highly recommend Dr. Farid and UCI.

I discovered this place because it was recommended by my UFCW union insurance. The staff are friendly and very efficient. Dr. Fennema himself has a great "bedside manner", is very professional, and is willing to answer questions you have and explain anything related to your vision and eye health. The location is clean and organized, but was hard to find the first time due to its second floor location. Orders for glasses and contacts arrive rapidly and communication from the office side is great.
