Star Optical

muy mal servicio lentes de contactos muy caros y solo dan molestia en los ojos!

Went in to purchase glasses and contacts. After both exams I was pushed into getting progressives with the extras. I've never worn progressives and was shocked that I needed them all of a sudden, the prescription also seemed to be too strong. After paying for the services I was told to try the glasses for a week or so, long story short, I returned the glasses, the doctor lowered the Rx and had the progressives made into distance only glasses. Informed the optometrist "Dr. Shin" of my contact lens preference, only to be prescribed what they sell in the store, the way the staff pushed to upsell everything seems predatory on the uninformed. They seemed to want to keep my contact lens prescription hostage unless I purchased their contact lenses which are ridiculously expensive, after several visits I finally got my prescription and will be purchasing my contacts online. Will not be returning.

This place are a bunch of screw ups who don't know what they are doing. Not to mention expensive I will never go back to this place!!!!

I second what Alvaro Mantilla said. I wish I would have read his review before going there.

This place is a den of thieves. I have insurance and they flatly told me my insurance did not cover my contact lenses and of course they added a "fitting" fee once I found out from my insurance it was.
Once the exam was done I was told I "had" to buy a year's supply of contact lenses because that was the law and specified in the form they make you sign before you get examined. Turns out this is another lie, you don't have to buy any lenses.
They refuse to give you your contact lens prescription because they have to do a second session to confirm they fit ok, even after I told them I'd used contacts for over 10 years, of course since you don't want to spend $500 over your $300 insurance allotment, the fitting is never done.
This is sad state for medical care in our country, when crooks like Star Optical and Van Vinciguerra are left to free roam in our inner cities in a predatory manner, lining their pockets with the hard earned money of our less fortunate brothers and sisters. Shame on you Van Vinciguerra, in my opinion you are not worth to be called a doctor.
Finally I got my my money back and cancelled all the charges to my insurance. I was traveling to South America over the past few week and got myself brand name contact lenses, J&J not the cut rate models SO sells, for a fraction of the cost.
