[comment] => Great friendly staff, first time being here and had a great experience, dr is very detailed and explains the exam. Took some images of my eyes and the doctor was great explaining on the health of my vision. I really recommended to anyone looking for a great service. The lady in the front was able to help me find my insurance and helped me find a great pair of glasses.

[comment] => I had a great experience with Dr. Flanders. This was my first visit to this clinic, and he took time to listen to my prior issues with wearing contacts, and he diagnosed me with astigmatism that other optometrists had not diagnosed. He helped me find contacts that would help with that issue, and he even tried a few different prescriptions to make sure they were the perfect fit. For the first time, I can see perfectly and am comfortable wearing contacts.
When it was time to pick out glasses, one of the ladies in the office nicely offered to help me choose, and she gave feedback as I tried on at least 20 pairs. She also gave me options for frames that were within my insurance coverage and price range.
Also, their Saturday hours are great for people that work Monday - Friday. I appreciate their help and flexibility!

[comment] => Dr. Flanders is the best eye doctor I've seen since I started wearing contacts! I went to see him as a new patient, thinking my eyes were getting worse, but it turns out my contacts were not the right fit. He took the time to examine my eyes and had me try on 3 different types of contact lenses until I found the perfect fit. I left seeing more clearly and it was overall a great experience. I highly recommend him!

[comment] => I have been a customer of Today's Vision for almost twenty years and I would not think of going to another optical store! Dr. Flanders, is an excellent eye doctor and I would never want to trust my eyes to another doctor!
When I step inside the store I immediately see the kind and cheerful faces I have seen for close to twenty years, sitting at the same desk...Richard and Cheryl, and everytime, it's like seeing old friends once again!
The service is excellent, the envoirnment is clean and the eye care and eye wear is up to date! I would reccommend this Today's Vision, located in Rice Village to anyone who ask... in a heart beat!

I'll definitely recommend them to friends and family who go to the eye doctor!

Low vision occurs when a person’s visual acuity is 20/70 or worse, and their vision can’t be fixed with glasses or contacts. Find out how an eye doctor can help.
Orthokeratology is a non-invasive vision correction alternative to LASIK. Put in the specialty lenses while you sleep, and experience better vision in the morning.
Scleral lenses are a great option for those with severe dry eye or abnormally-shaped corneas. Is this comfortable alternative to traditional contacts right for you?
While vision can change drastically in the senior years, these changes shouldn't have to impair one's quality of life. The earlier these problems are detected and treated, the more likely proper eye care can help you retain good vision.
Astigmatism can cause vision problems such as blurred or double vision at all distances. Find out what you can do to correct astigmatism and see your best.
Lens coatings improve visual comfort, make it easier to clean your glasses and ensure your lenses last longer. Coatings include anti-scratch, anti-reflective, photochromatic and UV / blue light filters.
