I had an appt roughly 12 days ago, and I must say the staff is amazing. They were all so helpful as... I have never worn glasses before, and the exam that let me see the interior of my eye was really cool. The doctor was very pleasant and patient with me and answered all of my questions in detail. The entire staff is wonderful, and now I am just waiting for my glasses to come in. The only hiccup is that I left 2 messages inquiring as to when my glasses would possibly arrive or if they had any update and I Never received a call back, other than that if you go anywhere else you are making a mistake trust me. I love it there.

My experience could not have been better at Bella Optical. Dr. Han and her staff were excellent and ... the optometric tech Analyce Camacho explained to me options in eyewear that no other eye vision center ever has. Bella Optical is defiantly my eye vision center and the one I will refer.

Late review. My appointment was in July 2022. Honestly, I only went for an exam, but their profess... ionalism and customer service was A+. There was absolutely no way that I’d take my prescription somewhere else. While I may not remember everyone’s names, I do remember that they all paid attention to detail, they listened, and provided a lot of feedback to me. Every question I had was answered. I absolutely love my glasses. They match my personality. Lol. Also, the young lady who helped me pick out my glasses was so knowledgeable. So knowledgeable as if she made the glasses. I did my own research about the company and everything she stated was accurate. They even gave me some Godiva chocolates with my purchase. Everything was so thoroughly explained that I didn’t even have questions. My glasses arrived as scheduled. The service that they provided was so great that I wanted to speak to the manager. This place has the kind of employees that anyone would want to hire. I definitely would. Also, when I’ve called about a vision concern, they took the time to listen and provided feedback on the next steps. Thank you and I’ll see you again soon!

I recently purchased a new pair of glasses and had a great experience purchasing at Bella Optical. A... nalyze Camacho gives you a top notch experience in getting fitted, confirming your the clarity of your vision and making sure you are comfortable with your new pair of glasses. What most stood out is her knowledge of different brands they offer and taking the time to listen to what is most important to her customer. If you’re looking for more than just average service, and want good personal service on your next purchase of glasses , go by and check out Analyce at Bella Optical. Thanks again, Joel G.

Contact Lens Exams FAQs

Can dry eye sufferers wear contact lenses?

Usually, yes. While some types of contact lenses can aggravate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, such as eye dryness, redness and irritation, other contacts are perfectly suitable for dry eyes. Speak with an eye doctor near you regarding your dry eye symptoms, and they'll prescribe the perfect contact lenses for ultimate comfort.

Can a child wear contact lenses?

It's a case-by-case basis. Typically, eye doctors don’t prescribe contacts to children under the age of 11 or 12, though there are exceptions. Wearing contact lenses requires responsible care, including cleaning and disinfecting routines. Most teenagers can handle contact lens care if they’re motivated to wear contacts.

Do I need an eye exam and prescription for tinted contact lenses?

Yes! Even if you’re just using contacts to change the color of your eyes, you still need an eye exam and a prescription. Contact lenses are a medical device and require fitting by an eye doctor.
