I've only worn glasses for about 10 years after many decades of perfect vision. I never thought any of the glasses prescribed by three other physicians really corrected my vision very well. Dr Barnes nailed it!! I can't believe how well I can see now. I'm finally a believer that glasses can correct your vision if your Dr prescribes the right lenses. Thank you Dr Barnes!!

Dr. Barnes is a compassionate, smart, and experience doctor. I went to Dr. Barnes during a serious emergency (scratched my cornea and my cornea was inflamed). I was in more pain than I had ever experienced in my life. His staff kindly rushed me in to see him. Dr. Barnes explained everything to me, examined me even while I was screaming in pain, and treated me with respect and kindness. He even ran to his car to grab a medicine that would help relieve my pain. It’s clear he is a good man and a great doctor. Now my eye is in no more pain and I’m slowly regaining full vision in my eye. Thank you, Dr. Barnes!

When I had an emergency on Sunday, Dr. Barnes got in touch with me immediately and addressed the concern. In addition, he always calls to check on how you are doing. He is truly concerned about his patients and their care.
