State College Optometrist?

I need to get my eyes checked and prescription changed. I have a list of providers acceptable with our insurance, but I'd love to see if any of them match up with good (or bad!) experiences you've had.  Anyone have a local eye doctor they'd recommend, or recommend I stay far away from?

Thanks women!

Re: State College Optometrist?

  • I really liked Happy Valley Optical - but they don't really "mesh" well with the PSU eye insurance...so if you have that insurance, they might not be the best.  DH and I see Dr. Assalita, she's fine but does not have a huge selection of glasses - and charges incredibly too much for contacts.  But as an eye doctor she is good.

    (Side note, I order contacts from vision direct and I think I might get my next pair of glasses from Target)

  • DH and I go to Dr. Covey in Bellefonte (on Spring Street) she is really friendly and does a great job.  Her assistants are all great too and they all seem to remember me every time I come in (which is only 2 times a year).

  • I had been going to Dr. Anderson at Advacned Eye Assoicates (or something like that - apparently I picked the first eye doctor alphabetically) but will be looking for a new doctor.  He's not bad, I just feel that there may be someone better.  DH isn't really happy with him either.

    I'm going to make an appt with Dr. Falsone in Centre Hall.  DH had seen him before when he was at Pearle Vision in the mall and said he did a very good job at fitting contacts. 

  • I go to Nittany Eye Associates in Scenery Park area.  I dislike the eye doctor like other dislike the dentist and I have been very happy there.  I see Dr. Cymbor (I think that is the correct name).  Good service from all the staff. 
  • I go to the eye doctor in Target, I can't rememer her name but she is really nice. I get my contacts with her and she is really good about giving samples of new ones so that you can try them out for a week or so before you switch brands.
  • Thanks so much! I have phone calls to make now!
