Academy Eye Associates

This is a wonderful place for eye care. The staff are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable and very friendly. I go back even if I had perfect vision!

Dr. Jennifer Powell was absolutely wonderful and explained everything she was doing and why she was doing it. I had previously been going to see an eye doc that was more focused on giving me surgery than corrected my contacts /​glasses. She had me seeing better than I have seen in 6 years, I will be making this my new eye doctor permanently. The other staff is also wonderful!

I was very happy with my visit to Academy Eye Associates. I am new to the area and needed new contacts. Everyone was really nice and the office is in a convenient and safe area. I would definitely recommend Academy Eye Associates to others!

Eye care associates is the best place to get new glasses. I am really happy with the customer service and how the fix the problem when my lenses didn’t come transition the first time I ordered. When I took the glasses back to the store they took care of everything right away.
I will totally recommend any of the stores in the Durham area.

Academy Eye Associates was recommended to me by my girlfriend, and I’m glad I decided to take her advice! First of all, the staff was extremely nice and took the time to help me out, instead of just putting me through the paces as quickly as possible. The eye doctor I saw was Jennifer Powell, and she was awesome! She was very professional but also pretty spunky. It seemed that I could not find a contact prescription that would make both my eyes of the same power, but she patiently worked with me (and allowed me to try on several contacts) until we got it right. They let me have a pair of contacts to try out, then saw me again in a week (the second visit was covered as part of the exam). When I returned I was impressed that everybody remembered all sorts of details that we talked about the week before, such as what I was studying in school, and where I was going on vacation over the summer. Overall I had an excellent experience and would recommend it to my friends.

My husband, son, and I are patients at Academy Eye. Dr. Jennifer Powell (no relation) is thorough, caring, and very helpful. My son was seen in November for his first optometry visit. She took her time with him and explained everything to him in his terms. He actually enjoyed his visit. When he picked out his glasses, he was assisted with care and concern, and was allowed to make his own decision. For a 10 year old this is big. Everyone on staff is very friendly and caring and willing to help you. I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone.

I have been seen for Jennifer Powell for the past three years. Every time I visit she greets me with a warm smile and always remembers who I am and what we’ve talked about in the past. She’s thorough, thoughtful, and listens carefully. She’s also helped me with making sure my expenses are taken care of and directing me towards rebates and insurance reminders.

A wonderful experience. Dr. Powell was patient and spent time with me. I would recommend anyone to this practice. She actually cared!

I saw Dr. Jennifer Powell today. A couple of things I really appreciated about her:
— She explained all the procedures to me in a «just so you know what I’m about to do» way, which immediately put me at ease
— She is very sweet and friendly, just like the desk staff
I ordered a pair of new eyeglasses and the gentleman who helped me (whose name I now cannot remember, my apologies!) even fixed my current glasses which had been fitting weird for a while… I kind of feel like I got two new pairs out of this appointment.

I’ve been seen by both Dr. Henry Greene and Dr. Jennifer Powell, and they both take all the time it takes to make sure you’re seeing ²⁰⁄₂₀. As a patient for the last 4 years, I’ve had nothing but good experiences from scheduling appointments to requesting prescriptions over the phone. They have plenty of parking, a cozy waiting area, nice music and a selection of magazines. Overall, a great practice that I’d highly recommend!
