BLUF (bottom line up front): EXTREMELY LONG WAIT TIMES AND DANGEROUSLY APATHETIC PRESCRIPTION PROCEDURE. My wife had to use the services at center for sight on 4 separate occasions. On each occasion we waited between 45 - 90 minutes past our appointed time, even though we showed up 5-10 minutes early. After the second extended wait, we decided to call ahead on our 3rd visit to avoid the long wait and not miss time at our own jobs. The receptionist told us they were on time and we reluctantly accepted her response and showed up on time. However, once we arrived we noticed the full waiting room and commenced playing on our phones (wasting time) for 55 minutes until she was seen. On the final (4th) visit, we arrived on time, noticed the ridiculously full waiting room and asked the receptionist the wait time, we were told 30 minutes but thought better of it, cancelled the appointment never to return. As if the systemic wait time wasnt bad enough, the corneal specialist there was going to prescribe my wife steroids to help the inflammation in her eyes. I informed him that my wife was a "steroid responder" meaning, the pressure in her eyes quickly raise to unsafe levels when she uses steroids. He asked what her pressures were and I told him 21 and he replied with "thats not too high" and prescribed her the steroids anyways. Within 2 weeks my wife was seeing black tunnel vision, strange colors and other side effects. We quickly had her see an optometrist (not center for sight) and they reported that she had very dangerously high pressure levels in her eyes (38) and prescribed her something to ease the pressure. In summary, very long delays between appointed times and actually seeing the Dr and risky practices make this place not worth the wait.

I had an appointment at the Center For Sight and was extremely pleased with my experience. Dr. Ludlow was very good with both my children. He took the time to give them thorough school exams and they both seemed very comfortable with him. His technicians were very helpful when it came to discussing with them before what was going to be done, which was a relief when it came to putting drops in their eyes (Every moms nightmare!!!). I was walked over to their glasses section after and was helped by Tara, who made finding the perfect pair of glasses for my daughter a breeze. She was nervous about having to wear glasses for the first time, but Tara helped her find a pair that she would loved. Waited for about 30 mins, but totally worth the wait.

I had to have a s.a.p. procedure done there (removal of chalizion (?spelling). i was seen right away. The front desk staff were VERY professional and welcoming. The tech (Dr Crane) was very formative and provided me with information as what to expect before, during and after the procedure. Dr. Crane was very patient with me being nervous. Center For Sight staff are an amazing group of people.

Loved Dr. Aimee Paradis, she is incredibly thourogh! I am a glaucoma suspect and she was awesome at explaining symptoms and what I need to look for. She was warm and friendly and made me feel very confidant in her ability. I highly recommend her.
