I have been a patient at Ocean Eye for 5 years. My most recent annual exam was today with Dr Spearing; my techs were Meagan and Joy. My experiences with Ocean Eye have always been good. The staff are all friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable, focused on detail, and answer all questions. Dr. Spearing paid particular attention to one of my eyes that had a malignant melanoma. Although I didn’t need frames this time, they have a good variety and are very helpful with selection and fitting. Ocean Eye is excellent!

They are ok. I’m generally pleased with my prescriptions compared to other optometrist I’ve visited. I’ve been going since I moved here about a decade ago. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the same doctor twice, at least not recently. I remember seeing the really tall doctor, who I think is the owner, a couple of times when I first started going there. The doctors seem to turn over quickly. There is always a delay in my trial contact order for the contact fittings. I have ran out of contacts waiting for them on multiple occasions. I understand that I don’t have standard contact prescriptions, but I can get my contacts delivered to my house in 3 days. They should be able to get my trial pair to complete my fittings in a timely manner. I always feel like it’s my first time there, every time I go. It feels more like a chain office rather than a local provider.

First time visiting here and it was a great experience. Kristi was my tech. She was super nice and very knowledgeable and thorough with her part of my examination. Dr Smith was the optometrist that did my evaluation. She was very good and very thorough as well. I thought the atmosphere at the office was great too. Very nicely decorated and comfortable. The reception that I received from the front office staff was amazing as well. I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name. I would definitely recommend them and will go back for my yearly exam.

The glasses themselves are fine, and the staff are friendly, but they use a predatory pricing model to constantly push you towards the next package up, and since they don't accept any insurance then you will always be paying full price. Don't go here unless you don't have any sort of vision insurance whatsoever. BJ's always has some sort of special offer going to make it sound like they are at a discount, but it is to make you think you are getting a good deal, but unless you get the most basic possible package (standard lenses without any scratch resistance, blue light resistance, glare prevention, etc.) with their cheapest lenses, it will be as much as getting them from a dedicated glasses store, where you will have much better options than a booth in a wholesale store.

This was my daughter and I first time visiting Summerville Pediatric Eye Care. We were so impressed with the whole staff from the time we got there until the time we left! We both had smiles on our faces 😊😊 because they helped my daughter pick out some beautiful glasses to make her confident in wearing them. Thank you so much to you all 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️💐💐!! I would highly recommend this place!!!

We were able to get an appointment within one week, appt only took 30min for exam and to choose classes. They had the BEST selection of kids (and even adult/teen glasses) in the funnest colors and styles! Staff was friendly and welcoming.

They attend you with great kindness and professionalism and I recommend them to the general public as soon as possible. I am so grateful because they took very good care of my children and gave me solutions

Took son here 5 months ago and they did not have equipment to look at my son's eye. We had to go to the downtown office to get his eye ultrasound and they told us we would have to go back to the Nexton office to get results. It has been a 6 weeks no returned calls or messages. The only way to get someone to answer is by going to appointments and they hang up on you

0 stars for me. I had an appt with Dr. Tinkler today and had my eyes dilated. This was my first visit to this office after being referred by my neurologist. I have never had my eyes dilated before, so I left my appt and got in my car to drive back to work. On my way to back to work, I almost got into TWO car accidents. You would think they would ask "have you had your eyes dilated before? If not let me tell you how this works". I was not given ANY instructions, or any eye protective wear, nothing! When I called back to inquire as to the proper procedure after my sister and co-workers advised me I should have not been driving under dilation, I was given VERY unprofessional decorum in regards to this issue. I asked to be informed of the outcome of my complaint and was told they could not contact me back in regards due to HIPAA violations. However, I gave my personal info to them not vice versa so there was no violation or potential occurrence of one. I'm stunned and frankly astonished at the fact this happened and the treatment with which I have received especially as I also work in the health care field and was referred by another Doctor. Due to the lack of professional care and consideration by the staff at this office, I will not be returning and I will not be referring anyone to them either.

Went in to make an appointment, first available was for seven days later, perfectly understandable. Presented my insurance and ID when making the appointment. Appointment made and a week goes by, the day before they call to confirm my appointment... Oh and by the way you're out of network so the charge would be significantly higher... Thanks so much for wasting my time and making me wait a week before informing me of this.
