You can expect your entire MyEyeDr. visit to take between 30 and 60 minutes. Here’s how it usually goes: Our front desk staff will check you in and quickly review your paperwork and insurance information. After that, we’ll invite you back to do some pre-exam testing. Feel free to try on new frames while you wait. Next comes the eye exam. Our optometrist will ask you questions about your eye health and vision, then they’ll look into your eyes using specialized lenses.
Pro tip: Cut down on time in the waiting room by completing your pre-appointment forms online before your visit. Keep an eye out for a “check-in” email a few days before your exam date.
After we determine your new prescription, you can sit down with an optician to shop for new eye wear. It takes about a week for our lab to make new glasses. Once they’re ready, we’ll call you in for your final fitting, where we make sure your new glasses fit well and you can see clearly. Contact lens orders usually take a few days. We can ship contacts directly to your home or you can pick them up at MyEyeDr. Alexandria-Rt.1.

John from Colorado
Had a great experience here. Receptionist was extremely friendly. The person who did the initial tests was a lot of fun to chat with. The doctor was great, answered a ton of questions. Then the woman who helped me pick out glasses was super kind. Also, if you’ve read my reviews you know I love anywhere you can snap a selfie and they had awesome lighting and mirrors everywhere so I made sure to get a good one for the ‘gram.
Natasha from Maryland
What a wonderful experience! This was my first time needing glasses and I must say, they made the entire experience so easy and informative. I was able to set up an appointment, and provide insurance info online. On the day of my appointment, the ladies at the desk were very friendly and helpful. I had a short wait for my appointment (5 mins max and was then seen by a tech, and about 5 mins after that, I went in to see the Doctor. He was also very friendly and helpful. The staff here made me feel so comfortable. My glasses were ready within 8 days (including a weekend). They were as I ordered. If you're new to needing glasses, I think you'd enjoy your visit here.
