Drew Tryner Review of Red Eye Eyewear

Classic case of never knowing what you've been missing. Great service, caring staff, and amazing selection.
I've never thought too hard about what eye doctor to go to. In the past it was whatever random chain was closest to my house that took my insurance (LensCrafter, PearlVision, ETC.) They were fine. Eye Dr. isn't supposed to be a great experience, right? It's transactional at best.
After complaining about how uninspired my last visit was, my fiance started gushing about hers and told me to try her office. I took her up on it and skeptically made my next appointment at Red Eye. So glad I did. I never realized what I was missing until I had it. Everyone at Redeye is fantastically nice and attentive. Dr. Gifford is incredibly easy to talk to, does a great job explaining everything, and takes the time to actually get to know you. The whole staff seems to really care about you as a person instead of just you as a credit card payment. They even humored me with genuine opinions and encouragement as I belabored choosing the perfect pair of frames.... a process that left me wanting to go back to get a 2nd or 3rd pair as well.
2 visits later (1 for a screening, the other to pick out frames) and I've been completely spoiled. Now the thought of ever going back to one of those chains has switched from indifference to dread.
