eye doctor downtown

Post by KCPowercat »

Anybody recommend an eye doctor downtown?  I don't have contacts or anything but one eye feels like I scratched it and has been hurting for a couple days now.

Thanks.

I had a pretty good experience with Insight Eyecare at 16th and Walnut, next to Belle Epoque.  Doctor was nice and courteous and the front desk staff knew my insurance better than I did.

If using insurance, try checking the insurance's website for recommended eye docs in your zipcode.

I hope you find out what is wrong, get it fixed, and feel better soon.

they're good. use them for your exam.

i'd recommend warbyparker.com for actually buying your glasses. $95 shipped and they'll send you try on pairs for free.

dr. fudenberg moved to insight for a while, but retired somewhat recently. he was an old downtown businessman (and quite old himself) over at 11th and baltimore.
