Walmart Vision & Glasses

Awesome place. Been going here for years - same great Dr. Very thorough and detailed. Eyeglass techs know there stuff and have you covered.

My vision insurance pays for a yearly exam and I went to Walmart and got glasses and contacts after my exam. I immediately noticed that with my glasses everything looked slanted to the right. It has never happened to me before, and I have been wearing glasses for over a decade. I went back to have them adjusted and was told that I had to get accustomed to my new prescription. Fair enough. I tried for a week and went back. I explained to Lisa that I can't function with my glasses because of the slant in my vision. She said that my astigmatism was probably worse. She adjusted my glasses so the arms were four inches above my ears. I tried them on and said that my depth perception was way off, and in the vision center she appeared to be superimposed in front of a blurry background. She laughed and said they were supposed to be that way. I went back again and asked if I could have the doctor help figure out the problem, but I was told there was an additional exam fee, which my insurance would not cover. I was wearing my contacts more than I wanted to, and I had discharge and redness in my eye. Her advice was to keep wearing the contacts and wait until I was eligible for the next exam per my insurance. I went back six times (276 miles, to put it into perspective), and I just had my yearly exam at a different place. Lo and behold, I can see straight out of my glasses! There is no slant and my depth perception is spot-on. I suffered with these glasses for a year!

Dr Tao is the worst I have ever been to! He rushed me through the appointment continuously telling me to relax every time I expressed concern that the final lenses were not clear. He told me I would get used to it. I got my glasses which I tried to wear for a week and in the end I had to return them. Dr Tao refused to do anything about the poor exam he gave me, telling me I paid for a service. A service that was not a correct Rx! He refused to listen to anything I had to say. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON HIM!! I now have to go somewhere else and pay for another eye exam!

I visited this vision center in July 2017 and I feel that the service was very inappropriate and unkind. I went for my initial eye exam with Dr. Tao. I never had glasses before, but felt that my eyes started straining at work, with all of the reading and computer work that I perform daily. After my eye exam, I was told that I needed bifocals. I got a prescription and after one week, my lenses were made and it was a very drastic adjustment. I gave the glasses about 10days and noticed that I still had a very difficult time adjusting with lots of dizziness and it felt like my eyes were crossing when I wore the glasses. I asked if my prescription could be rechecked, because I felt that it may be too strong. I made another appointment with Dr. Tao and he looked at the glasses and put two other lenses for me to look through. Having eyes that have learned to compensate with straining to see, I was not sure what I was supposed to look for exactly. I explained to Dr. Tao that I felt dizzy and headaches with my eyes crossing when I took the glasses off. Dr. Tao insisted that he never gave a wrong prescription and he said that there is no such thing as a "strong" prescription. He said that I must keep wearing the glasses regardless. I said, can't I please get a second opinion with another more thorough exam? He said I should go pay somewhere else, because he already did an exam. I gave the glasses 2 more weeks with wearing them as he prescribed, but felt even worse. I returned the glasses, because I would pass the deadline to return them for a refund. I am sorry to say this but Dr. Tao has very poor bedside manners as a doctor. I felt belittled and was treated like an inconvenience. Please do not go to Walmart vision center.
