--Short Version of review--
Totally recommend this place to everyone!, they are fast and friendly and the price is just right, was in and out for my exam in 19 minutes! Price without insurance was $164 out the door($142 - Exam & $22 - OptoMap Digital Retina Photo).
Make sure you print out their Patient History Questionnaire and fill it out at home to save yourself some time as this can take some people up to 10 minutes to fill out so having it filled out beforehand can save your visit a lot of time! The Patient Questionnaire is located on every page of their website except the About Page and is a PDF File.

I know I'm going to come off sounding like everyone else and very generic but seriously though, I also Highly Recommend this place for everyone! Naturally it's by appointments only(for those that may be wondering that.) I went in for an exam only, appointment was at 8am, was outta there by 8:19am.
For those that may be curious for costs without Insurance but don't wish to call them (like I was.... I have tons of anxiety when talking to anyone non-familial no matter the medium), as of my visit on June 2nd, 2016. It was $142 for the exam, and then you have a choice for the retinal exam(I think that's what it was called.) You could go with the Free option of them dilating your pupils and checking your eye that way, though this could add anywhere from 30-40 minutes addition to your visit since it takes time for your pupils to go from normal to Huge Saucer Size! (lol) , Or take another much faster and more fancy OptoMap method for $22 extra where they take a (crazy) High Resolution digital photo of the back of your retina and it takes like 3 minutes to complete if that. And that's it for the costs.
I was going to get my girlfriend to help me buy frames but due to her heart attack (Visual, NOT a Physical Heart Attack... Trying to be funny here people! ^_^) at the prices, she had me go online to get my glasses (she had me use eyebuydirect and zinnyoptical , they are generic brands, kind of like how there's generic brand Tylenol and Benedryl, same deal with these websites, which explains their prices and such.)
That said one thing these websites needs is your "Pupillary Distance (PD)" which EyeOptics didn't provide on my Prescription Card(no fault to them), but it's totally understandable since children's PD numbers can change rather often/quickly as they age so its not something that can be trusted overtime depending on how young/old the child is, however for Adults, this number will most likely not change at all for months/years. Though this number is easy to obtain if you have a basic ruler with millimeter measurements on it, easiest to do with a partner, it's just the distance from the dead center of one pupil to the other in millimeter measurements.)
So if you plan to go this route and are an Adult(not young adult since your body isn't totally settled in yet, so 20+), you should ask for this number as well from them before you leave from your exam. For children, if you plan to get your frames at another optical business or store(like walmart, costco, etc), they staff at those stores will take this measurement there, but if you go the online route, you'll have to measure it yourself, which is Very Easy and it could be a fun little activity for you and your child as well!!!
Anyway sorry for this crazy long and verbose explanation but I just wanted to get my thoughts out in as most detailed of a manner as I could.
And as in the short version of my review, to make your visit as fast as possible!! Make sure you print out their Patient History Questionnaire and fill it out at home to save yourself some time as this can take some folks up to 10+ minutes to fill out so having it filled out beforehand can save your visit a lot of time! The Patient Questionnaire is located on every page of their website except the About Page and is a PDF File.
Thanks for reading my review! I hope this was helpful to some people.
