NO BLUFFING-SAVE YOUR MONEY, TIME, MOST IMPORTANTLY YOUR EYES from Hour Eyes AND GO ELSEWHERE. \r
\r
* Dr. Bluff ad's the 'only one on the west coast' with a special eye machine. Logically I thought I would be paying for a pro who is more inclined to eye care. NOT TRUE AT ALL!\r
\r
Dr. Bluff is also OWNER of HOUR EYES. I was there all afternoon as it turned out,he only came \r
down to conduct exams. \r
\r
Dr.Bluff RUSHED MY EXAM.I HAD TO ASK HIM MANY TIMES TO SLOW DOWN,RESTATE '1' or '2' for me.Few moments later I HAD TO ASK AGAIN,he then BEGAN TO FLIP THE LENSES AND NOT SAY ANYTHING WHICH ONLY CONFUSED ME EVEN MORE.I reminded myself to focus on what was most important to me and so I took my time relaying my answers.\r
\r
I had to INSIST on MY copy of the machines findings-site MY RIGHTS TO MY RECORDS bc I was told by staff consumers don't get copies,nor do they get the colorful docs,color map key pamphlet either that one optician had in her personal exam folder.\r
\r
COST IS HIGH SERVICE IS LOW at Dr. Bluff's so be prepared. $124.00 for exam.\r
ALL FRAMES START AT $184.00+ *The 'buy 1 get 1 'free' "" sale is b.s. pretty much:\r
1) limited to SAME SCRIPT ONLY which I was NOT TOLD UP FRONT.\r
2) the free 'line' is by no means a designer 'line' at all as was suggested.\r
In some instances they may try and sell you a 'free line' frame for $50 bucks\r
\r
WHAT NO EXAM paperwork? the optician exclaimed, 'oh yeah..' and PROCEEDED TO WRITE OUT MY SCRIPT (NOT THE DOCTOR) and ON THE BACK OF A BUSINESS CARD!\r
\r
I can't report to you store contact info was, surprisingly, not offered via matchbook covers.\r
\r
Dr. Bluff's unprofessionalism, disregard, and overall disingenuous manner speaks volumes about why I WON'T EVER BE RETURNING to HOUR EYES on Broadway Ave E.-CAPITOL HILL and I strongly suggest you take care of your vision by continuing to shop around elsewhere. Eye sight is, perhaps, our greatest sense, and it is as priceless as apathy can be unforgivable if not \r
dangerous !
