Advanced Eyecare Solutions

I prefer them over Pearl/​Lenscrafters/​all the chains.
Why: (Not in priority order)
1) They don’t require me to buy new frames every time my lenses’ change. Pearl and the other chains make you buy new frames every year;
2) It’s so relaxing there. Cool space, cool people. Knowledgeable, no pressure;
3) The price is the same as the chains.

After discussing my issues with the Doctor and his associate we made progress and my situation has been handled to my satisfaction.

I came to this office due to a change in insurance. I first was seen in the Woodinville office and while the office was not impressive, I was impressed with how thorough my exam was. I am now going to the Bellevue location. The Bellevue office is quite nice. Dr is working with me to get into contacts, something I have tried several times over many years and had no success. I really appreciate his patience and working to fine tune the prescription so I can be successful in contacts finally!

Worst experience ever! The prescription was wrong, the technology is outdated, and the staff is clueless of whats going on.

I had an appointment today 1÷27÷15.
I very much appreciated the staff. Jenny didn’t try to Sell me anything, she showed me what options were available and the pros and cons of each and let me decide.
She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer my questions.
I didn’t read the negative reviews before I went, and I am glad I didn’t. Things apparently have changed for the better.

if you’re in the lobby of this place… run away now. This is the most unprofessional place ever. Virk doesn’t know what he’s doing and doesn’t know how to treat customers. Seriously. Do not, do not, do not go here!

Would you trust a doctor who is dilating your eyes and telling you, you would be able to drive without any sun glasses or protection?
I went to Dr. Virk for second opinion when I was unable to get better vision with my new prescription glasses. Soon after my eye exam, he was trying to push me to choose a frame for the new prescription without even asking if I really want to purchase one. Then he asked me to pay for visit before dilating my eyes. When he asked me if I want to go for dilation test, I asked him if I would be able to drive. He said «Yes you would be able to drive without any issue but cannot work in front of computer». He didn’t even mention that I have to use sunglasses. I was not carrying sunglasses as I never had my eyes dilated till that date and to be honest I didn’t even know about dilation until then. That was the reason I asked doctor about any precaution but I am surprised he didn’t know this basic or just careless about it and more concerned about selling frames and lenses. I got my eyes dilated and could hardly open my eyes when I came outside and started driving. Luckily it was only less than a mile drive to my place.
Secondly, I told them I have eye exam done a month back and not sure if insurance will cover this visit and asked them to let me know how much I have to pay for this visit. They told me they called insurance and you still have that one eye exam. Later they told me «as your previous doctor may file claim later and it may get rejected so we will charge you for special copay visit ($ 50 instead of $ 25)» He then asked for $ 35 extra on top of it for refraction test. I ended up paying $ 85 for basic eye exam which is not a big deal but you got to mention this before the exam not after.
So just avoid this place to avoid any pain

I visited here twice in a month to order and pick up my contact lens. I didn’t have an eye exam here However, based on my experience thus far, I’d say the staffs here are very nice and friendly. The place is big and clean. They have varieties of glasses for you to choose for those of you who look for a new pair of glasses. Come check them out and see if you agree with me.

One year after the initial exam…
It appears the prescription Dr. Virk wrote for me didn’t include the cylindrical or axis, which accounts for astigmatism.
I mentioned to my new doctor that I hardly wore my glasses I got last year because they were uncomfortable, and he told me it’s because my old prescription was wrong.
Don’t believe all the fake reviews written by the owners — choosing an eye doctor is important because if you go somewhere shady, you’ll suffer for a year like me.
