I've been a patient at Professional VisionCare for 15+ years and I would highly recommend them. I've been to both the Westerville and Johnstown offices and have had good experiences at both locations.
Our son experienced difficulty with study habits throughout school experience and was prescribed glasses at age 10 by a different eye doctor. Prescription was so strong that he would not wear glasses. Teachers at school gave up insisting he wear them. We called the eye doctor- he offered no helpful suggestions other than to have our son get a book of mazes, and work them to exercise his eyes. Seven years later, after taking SATs and ACTs and only being able to finish a little over half of each test, we knew something had to be wrong. Our son went to a very good school, and was articulate. He can be idioticat times (if you think your kids are perfect, you're wrong) but we knew it had to be a processing issue- we just didn't know what the problem was. At The Solution Center, Dr. Burns tested our son MUCH more thoroughly than the first eye doctor had done. There were tests we had not known existed. For the first time, we could see for ourselves (on a computer screen) the severe disparity between his eyes' tracking patterns. Dr. Burns prescribed glasses AND vision therapy, which my son enjoyed. Vision therapy wasn't covered by insurance and was VERY expensive, but worth every penny. No regrets. The first pair of glasses was temporary- one of the lenses was only half the strength, because the difference in the way each eye was tracking was so dramatic that had he been given full prescription strength glasses, our son would have been nauseated and dizzy. This is how he felt over seven years earlier. I had never witnessed my son smile while reading. His SAT and ACT scores improved enough to qualify him for colleges that would not have considered him had they only seen the first test scores. I WISH other offices and doctors were so driven to make each experience personalized and thorough. My son's academic experience would have been MUCH better if we had taken him to Dr. Burns first. About three years ago, I noticed my own vision was not what it should be. It was tiring to read for any reasonable length of time. I'd been wearing glasses for about seven years, but things were worse. Dr. Burns gave me an exam and found that I suffered from the same eye issue as my son. I was so impressed with Dr. Burns and with the Solution Center that I insisted my husband see this team as well. As to the two negative reviews: I agree that sometimes the staff appears perfunctory. The place runs like a well-oiled machine. This can be frustrating- I too have felt a lack of empathy at times. The staff must do things systematically and move on. There are so many people who come to this office and the reason is that the doctors are thorough, and the result is better eye care. The staff is trained in a specific way, and while someone may have been new and seemed inept, this is absolutely not the norm. If anyone seems snooty or brusque, it probably is not the intent. My ONLY personal gripe is that the frames are so expensive. There does not appear to be any attempt to provide a variety of price options. I now wear prescription sunglasses when I am outside, without fail. I'm 48 and this practice helps prevent glaucoma. The staff strongly encourages prescription sunglasses, for good reason. It seems like a luxury to many- it certainly seemed frivolous to me at first. I honestly thought it was just an excuse to make more money. I'm very glad I invested in sunglasses, though. When I'm driving or working in the yard, I see beautifully and do not squint. Less tension in the face makes a big difference, and if I'm preventing blindness, that's great. I would highly recommend Professional VisionCare and The Solution Center, especially if you notice your child avoids studying, hates reading aloud. Children make fun of kids who struggle to do what seems easy for everybody else. Behavioral issues arise. Years of this can truly have a detrimental effect on a child. If your child is a candidate for vision therapy, she may fight the process if she is very young. This is because it's actually a physically demanding, redundant activity. Stick with it.
Our entire family are patients at Professional VisionCare and love it! The Doctors are wonderful, professional & caring. The Staff is very helpful and their service is excellent. We have also taken our toddler son to the Solution Center for his very first eye exam and they were so great with him. I would highly recommend this family-friendly office to anyone who is in need of vision care services!!!
I have been a patient of Professional Vision Care for over 25 years. The doctors are superb and I would completely trust any of them with my vision health. I took advantage of their Vision Therapy years ago, which helped to train my eyes to work more efficiently together; the results were phenomenal and continue today. They have a doctor on call at all times during 'off hours' and whenever we have had eye injury emergencies the on call doctor met us at their office within minutes! I would recommend Professional Vision Care to anyone looking for the absolute best eye doctors available. I would not go to anyone else, bar none.
I had excellent care at Professional Vision Care. Staff is friendly and professional. I have seen both Dr Bradley Johnson and Dr Bill Lay. Both were knowledgeable and took the time to answer any questions I had. I will be referring family and friends to this office.
Everyone was very friendly and professional. They answered all my questions and were very thorough in the exam. Also everything was explained clearly. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Dr. Johnson was very professional and thorough. He explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. I would recommend this facility to my family and my friends. Overall, it was a great experience.
I have used Professional VisionCare for my eyeglass frames for several years. I like getting a new pair of glasses every year. Because my prescription does not change, I can switch glasses to match what I am wearing. My style of glasses range from sassy to classy! Professional VisionCare staff are truly professional and accommodating to the needs of their consumers.
I first visited Professional vision care during a designer show. I was impressed with the number and quality of frames at the show. The personel were friendly and helpful in making sure I got what I was looking for. I had my first eye visit with Dr. Johnson and was surprised at how extensive the exam was. I haven't ever had that extensive of an eye exam in all the years I have had eye exams. Dr. Johnson and the staff were friendly and explained what each test was and answered all my questions. I would recommend Professional vision care to anyone.
Knowledgeable doctors and staff!!! They were helpful from start to finish. I would recommend this business to anyone needing glasses and or contacts.
Dr. Johnson at PVC is the best! Â If you are in need of a good thorough eye exam this is the place to be. Â Staff is friendly and the equipment is the latest in technology! Â We have been going to them for years and I've never had a bad experience!
It's nice to see a doctor who is knowledgeable about their field and is able to provide treatment or feedback tailored to the patient. Â I love coming to PVC for my eye exams, I never leave with questions or wondering if my prescription is accurate.
I've been going to Professional Vision Care since I was 6-years-old, and although the wait time once you're checked in can be a bit long sometimes (but not always! last time they got me rolling just a few minutes after I got checked in) the atmosphere is friendly, the Doctors are professional and the staff are fun and knowledgeable. Love the glasses selection too!!Also, the French Roast Coffee is pretty impressive for a waiting room machine; I actually enjoyed it 🙂
I have been going to pro vision care for over 10 years. In my experience I have seen Dr Burns and Dr Nixon(male). Both doctors are great and thorough. Dr Burns makes sure she knows everything about your eyes and will tell you of any changes each year. Your eyes are her #1 concern and she is a delight.As for the frame selection... in General ,It's a little pricey for my taste but if I look really hard, I can find at least one frame that is covered at 100% By  VSP insurance. I highly recommend Pro Vison Care for your eye needs! You won't find better doctors.
Dr. Johnson and the staff at the Westerville office are great! They're very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We were referred to Professional VisionCare by our former eye doctor when he retired. This speaks very highly of this office as he doesn't make referrals without background information. Dr. Johnson is very thorough with his exam and makes sure we understand everything before we leave. Our prescriptions are always correct and with no issues whatsoever. We highly recommend Dr. Johnson and the Westerville office.
The doctors and staff here are amazing! Â From start to finish they have taken such great care of me. Â They were able to diagnose an eye disease that several other eye doctors had missed. Â I am beyond grateful for their care and compassion. Incredible place!
Dr. Johnson is very thorough and takes time to explain everything. He has a decent selection of glasses and his staff will help you find the right size and fit and will look for other sizes and colors on the manufacturer sites if you find a pair you like but need to tweak. Bonus - He's got a dinosaur!Double Bonus - cofee!Triple Bonus - He even offers baby's first eye exam on the house!
The best optometrists around! Excellent staff and an overall fantastic office.
Great service from start to finish. Very friendly staff throughout. On time, thorough, reasonably priced, quality care. Definitely recommend to family and friends
Great customer service. The staff was friendly, courteous  and very professional. They have a vast selection of frames. I'm extremely happy with the service I received. I have found a forever home for all my vision needs.
I have been a patient at this office for many years and have always been pleased with the service and the caring attitude of the doctors I have been treated by. Â In particular I visited over the weekend and was assisted with purchasing new glasses by "Tracey", she was absolutely great. Â She was kind, interested, she listened to my requests and was overall very pleasing to work with. Â Go Tracey!
No medical appointment is ever "fun" per se, but this establishment really makes it an easy visit. In 10 years I have never once had a bad experience. The exams are quick and painless and they explain everything they are doing as they go. You're made to feel safe, clean, and in good hands. And the friendly staff! You'll feel like a super star going in. They're always so sweet, welcoming and hospitable. Seriously, cannot  recommend this place enough!
My Vision Insurance changed with the new year (2015). That being said, Tracy V went above and beyond to ensuring we utilized any remaining eligible spending allowance from our prior Vision Insurance. Â While researching each dependents contact lens cost she kept me well-informed as she compared the pricing for daily and monthly contacts. Â I was very satisfied with the service Tracy provided.
One of the best vision care appointments that I have ever had! Wait time was what is expected for a popular place. Doctors are excellent and the assistants are on their A game every time I am there. I have to recommend this location over all other places I have been!
I am a hard cookie to please but, -big pause- great experience! Fantastic doctors, friendly staff.... And I need another "f" so I'll sum it up with, I am a FAN GIRL of professional vision care.
Never had any problems getting the correct prescription. Staff has been consistently competent. Appointments do take awhile but I feel that staff are doing due diligence to answer all my questions. I've been coming here for 2 years.
Dr Amy Lay has always been very professional and friendly. I always look forward to my yearly exam with her team. First class from the reception desk to purchasing new glasses. If you want an honest caregiver who is not ashamed of her beliefs, please visit Professional Vision Care in Westerville.
Dr Amy Lay did a great job on my exam...very thorough and I felt my eye health was her main concern. I will definitely be going back. They seemed to understand all about my insurance and did all the billing for me., I found great frames that I love! They have a great selection of frames to pick from. I highly recommend Professional Vision Care in Westerville.
I have worn glasses/contacts for 18 years and have never had as thorough of an eye exam as I had here. The doctor's are super kind and genuinely listen to your concerns. Every staff member that I interacted with from the moment I walked in the door was extremely friendly and helpful. I have a tricky prescription, a high astigmatism and have never been able to find contact lenses that fit perfectly, but Dr. Johnson worked with me and helped me find the perfect lenses and I couldn't be happier. If you wear contacts, he's the guy to go to! :)I've always gone to other 'discount' vision centers in the past, and while it may have been cheaper at that very moment, at least at this office I know that I'm getting quality product and going to a place where the staff truly care about my vision. I will definitely be back next year!
Great place to get your eyes checked! Awesome docs and friendly staff!
I've been bringing my daughter to PVC to see Dr. Evans for years now. Â The staff is amazing, kind, Â and seem to go above and beyond to make folks feel at home. The doctors have a lot TLC for their patients and take the time to make sure excellent eye care is provider. Â My daughter had a lot of vision issues that I didn't even know about when I brought her here. Â I thought her eyes crossing we merely cosmetic; turns out her eyes didn't work together and she had double vision. Â It was really scary to hear that but Dr. Evans recommended Vision Therapy. Â It worked beautifully! Â Now the whole family comes here to the 185 S. State Street location and we are all blessed to have this same special treatment.
I've had my eye exams here for 2 years and I feel that all the doctors gave a thorough exam. They listened to all of my concerns and when I was wanting to try out contacts again. All of the staff was exceptional from the Front desk ladies, to the OA, to the Opticians. Everybody was very friendly. The front desk staff were very happy to see me as soon as I walked through the door. They seemed to have everything ready for me and also offered my a hot cup of coffee. I don't know of ANY other medical offices that actually treat me like a human and offer me a beverage and keep me as comfortable as they could while I waited. A huge thumbs up to this office!!!
I've been wearing glasses since I was 9 years old and in all of my years I've never had such a thorough eye exam. The staff was wonderful. The lady with bright red hair helped me pick out the perfect pair of glasses, she had fabulous style and was truly one of a kind! I will be back for sure!
Best place ever to get an eye exam! From start to finish, I was impressed. As soon as I walked in, I felt very welcomed and was offered free coffee. The doctor's assistant was kind and informative, and the doctor was by far the best I have ever seen for my eyes. The gal who sold me the glasses was awesome! She helped me feel confident about my new glasses purchase. I would recommend this place to all my friends!
In the past week I've been seen for emergency appointments with concerns regarding a corneal abrasion. I am so appreciative of the staff and making me feel like a priority and the knowledgable doctors for caring about the health of my eye!!! So grateful!! I could go on and on but these Drs. care! Great service! I've been going here for 12 years. Keep doing what your doing!!
Dr. Amy is awesome. She really does care about my eye health and that means so much to me. Thank you Dr. Amy for being so detailed.
So professional and kind. Of course Elizabeth is the best! A true asset to the staff!!! I'm a tad partial, she's my beautiful daughter- in- law!!!
I am so grateful for Dr. Nixon. He is knowledgeable and has been a Godsend for me.
Dr Nixon is wonderful. Traveled back from Florida due to excellent care.
Awesome Optometrists and friendly Staff.
We LOVE Dr. Burns and the Solution Center!!!!! It has made such a positive impact on our family. My husband and I have never worn glasses, so we were really thrown (and a little scared) when our four year old daughter needed them for Amblyopia. Dr. Burns and the staff at the Solution Center have been SO gracious, patient, informative, and kind, and the entire building is so child-friendly. My daughter has a lot of anxiety, and she actually looks forward to her appointments. I literally can't shut up about them. I recommend Dr. Burns to everyone I know!!!!!!!!
My son was having trouble completing his work in school. A friend recommended vision therapy at The Solution Center. I did not know it but his eyes had a tracking problem so even though he didn't fail regular vision tests, he still didn't see very well when focusing on smaller items such as print. The vision therapy sessions really helped him. He finishes his work now and he's not so fidgety at school. Before he went to vision therapy, his teacher was concerned he might have ADHD. I'm very glad we were able to correct the problem without medication. He is a much happier boy now. Thank you!
What a wonderful staff & I adore my doctor, Dr. Bill Lay. Â I have seen other doctors there who are just as competent & caring. Â They are all extremely thorough & have helped me with several eye issues & work on preventative. Â I feel they are on the "cutting edge" with my health care! Â Ellen
I went to the office in Johnstown, OH. The assistants & the Dr. were very nice. My eye Doctor was Dr. Burns. I would recommend this place to anyone seeking an answer to a problem with their eyes. Excellent !
Dr. Burns at the Solution Center diagnosed my 20-year old son with Convergence Insufficiency. The part of his brain that should be processing spatial information is not working as it should. He exerts an inordinate amount of energy to focus and this has likely led to physical problems including headaches and extreme fatigue. With therapy, his eyes should be able to work much better and his reading should significantly improve. This should be life changing for him. We are so grateful!
Dr Cologgi is so kind and really takes her time! My 5 year old had a great experience and thanks to Liz picked some super cute glasses that she loves wearing!
Love Dr. Cologgi! Exceeded my expectations. This place offered us options when other places told us it couldn't be done.
We had an amazing experience, they really care for the kids they see. I would make the solution center the first suggestion when asked by parents and my son loves the popcorn machine.
Great experience today! Thank you for being so patient with our little rambunctious two year old!!
Enjoyed the visit and appreciate for an ASL interpreter. Could communicate with Dr. Lay and her staff.
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Bill. I've been going to Professional VisionCare since they were in a little store-front in Uptown Westerville.
My visit was handled very professionally and the time everything took was very appropriate.
As always, everyone was very helpful and friendly. Dr. Nixon was very thorough when he examined me. These are the reasons I continue to come to Professional Vision Care.
The staff at PVC were friendly and knowledgeable. I was in and out in no time and completely satisfied with the whole experience. I left knowing what the health of my eyes were and that PVC had placed me in the right corrective prescription.
This was the best experience I have had in a long time. Dr. Evans and the staff were excellent! I will definitely be back for all of my eye care needs.
Very professional Doctors and staff.
I was so thankful that Dr. Johnson worked me in on Saturday morning.
Had threshold and additional testing done. The two technicians who performed the tests were so helpful and professional.
Excellent staff from checking in, medical assistants, Dr. Edwards and all through the examination process!
I've been seeing Dr Nixon for many years now. Always upbeat, professional, and explains all aspects of the tests conducted to me. I appreciate the quality service He has a good personality too. Always a pleasure.
Services were very professional and gave me confidence in the direction of my eye care. All personnel were very caring.
I am always pleased with my visits.
Great staff...EVERYONE is friendly, prompt, and professional. Dr. Johnson is great!
Dr. Johnson is very professional and personal. He always makes us feel like we are his favorite patient!
What means the most to me is how comfortable I'm made to feel. I won't go anywhere else for my eye care.
I've been a patient since 2002 maybe? Clearly I love it. I've seen most of the doctors through the years and now I'm a patient of Dr. Johnson and couldn't be happier. He's an amazing professional and I love being under his care. I'm very fortunate and encourage anyone to seek PVC and their services.
I have been going to Professional Vision Care for 26 years. It has always been a very good experience for me. Dr. Collagi is just wonderful and has always given me thorough information and referrals. I have referred many friends who have been equally pleased.
Fantastic office and staff! From the warm welcome upon arrival to the quick service and helpful staff, this was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.
Staff is very friendly. Love Dr. Evans! I never feel rushed and all of my questions are answered.
Everyone here is nice and personable.....Really attentive and genuinely real!! Unlike stores or other places where you are just another number....or "next" ....all the staff is engaged with clients and I felt at ease doing business here!! Doctor "J" and optician Tracey treated me like platinum Gold and they were entirely Professional during entire visit....again from the receptionist onto the whole staff they were outstanding!!! I will surely recommend this place and will go back time and time again.....
My son is 4 years old and seen here. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at Professional Vision care. The tech that started our visit did an amazing job of engaging my son and making him feel comfortable. Then the Doctor was just as amazing. She let him know what she was doing the whole time and went above my expectations and found a video clip of Batman for him to watch during the exam because he said he liked Batman.
I felt my exam was very thorough and that the staff genuinely care about my eye health.
I very much appreciate the e-mail reminders about appointments and other upcoming events at Professional Vision Care. Friendly, to the point, nice graphics.
We saw Dr. Johnson at our last visit . My son is 31 and multi handicapped. He was really good with him and put him at ease. Not everyone works well with people with issues and he was fantastic! All of the staff we encountered were very helpful and nice and welcoming. 5 stars from us!
I had a great visit as always. Everyone is very friendly and professional.
I appreciate the warm welcome, the attention to my comfort and the professionalism of the staff.
Great experience, as usual
Compromise elsewhere. Vision is priceless. This office will provide comprehensive, detailed care.
Excellent staff. Dr. Burns is very communicative and provides a comprehensive exam in a timely manner. It's obvious from the time you arrive until you leave that you, as their patient, are very important to them.
Great staff, friendly and knowledgeable!
I absolutely love Professional Vision Care. I see Dr. Stutler and she has a the ability to make sure my time is respected, that I have a thorough exam, that she takes the time to explain everything and somehow manages to remember little things about me and my eyes! The rest of the staff are polite, thorough and very respectful of my time also. I would recommend Professional Vision Care to anyone!
I enjoy every visit to your office. The staff is very friendly and I feel well taken care of!
Excellent professional staff ,personal approach with each patient .

I had a great visit on this past Friday for my annual check-up. The receptionist was very friendly and actually chased me down with coffee she had made for me since I had been taken back to the exam area. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and open to questions. Thanks!!

The doctors are great... the costumer service wasn't so great. She was not helpful with questions I asked and then told me the doctor went to lunch. Didn't offer to get back with me later.
