South Paris Eyecare, P.A. 177 Main Street, Paris, ME 04281

"Very friendly Doctor and wife that will spend time listening and helping you."

"I am new to the area and was told this was my only option besides Walmart. I went to pick up my glasses. I was told they’d be ready in a week but it was 2 weeks. I expressed a problem with one lens and was told not to judge it so soon. I’ve been wearing glasses for 60 yrs. I think I can tell wether there might be an issue or not. She said, “no one ever adjusts immediately to new lenses.” That’s incorrect. When the frame is right and the prescription is right and they are made properly one can often just put them on and go. I’ve had that experience 2 dozen times in my life. I was so offended by her patronizing lecture. I said I would take them home but I’ll be going back for a refund because something is just wrong with them. She never had me sit at the desk, did not eyeball the fit or offer adjustments…. All around unprofessional and patronizing. I will have to travel the hour to my old optometrist now."

"Exam room was cluttered with junk and surfaces appeared dingy. It took nearly 2 months to get the contact lenses I ordered on the date of my appointment. Dr Murray was polite but the exam started 30 minutes late."

"Went in for a case of watery eyes. Door was open but no one was in there. Sat for 5 mins and a older guy walks in, goes in the other room to set his keys down and asks me if I have been greeted, I said no. He said come on in, a crowded room with boxes and junk all over the place. Still hasn't asked who I am, or why I am there. Does a quick 3 minute exam, never once has he washed his hands or put on gloves. Says, your eyes are fine, perfect actually, which I already knew. Says I have over producing tear ducts. Says he can plug them with chologen plugs. I ask what it all costs, he says the eye exam was 175...which I never even asked for, and all in just under 500.. I agree to have it done. He takes some tools out of a drawer, not packaged not even cleaned, but uses a alcohol wipe to wipe them down and then proceeds to do the plugs. At the time, I was just thinking if this fixes it, GREAT! Been about a month of dealing with this .. it lasted less then a hour. He even said it could last 6 months or more. Did I go back? No way! No one should ever go there!"

"Would not recommend this place appointment was extremely rushed. So much so that I don’t even think my prescription was accurate. Not to mention I never even got an actual prescription all I got was some chicken scratch on a piece of note paper that I can’t use to get new glasses. Guy was nice and all but not a place I would go to again."
