I’ve seen dozens of eye drs the past 38 yrs. Richland Eye Care is hands-down thee best! Dr. Kevin Fl... Show Moreynn is a master in his field. My greatest example is that for approximately 5 yrs, I struggled so badly with ghosted double vision and depth perception while driving, that I had to continually keep one eye closed in order to focus to drive. You can imagine how scary and stressful that would be. During that time, I brought my concerns to 3 different Optometrists, who gave me a basic eye exam and simply adjusted my nearsighted Rx (2 said it wasn’t strong enough and increased it; one actually said my Rx was too strong, so he decreased it). My conditioned worsened. Thanks to my vision insurance changing, I found myself at Dr. Flynn’s office in 2024. When I began explaining how I had to close one eye to focus and drive, his eyes kinda lit up, and he began asking me a series of questions no other provider had. All my answers were “yes!……that’s exactly what it’s like!…..” he pulled out a box of pretty prisms, held them up to my eyes, had me follow the letters on the chart……I FINALLY got my answer - I have Binocular Double Vision (my eyes don’t quite line-up to focus in unison) and it can easily be corrected by adding prism lenses! No other dr. took the time to do this simple test that’s now made a profound effect on my driving experience. Either their lack of knowledge in their field, or their lack of care for their patients’ well-being, caused me to suffer with this condition for years. Dr. Flynn corrected it immediately. He’s now the only eye dr. I trust with my eyes. Knowledgeable and patient, he doesn’t rush your visit; rather truly LISTENS and addresses your concerns. And, his office has an excellent staff. All are friendly & helpful. Lastly, I am extremely picky when it comes to eyeglass frames. I often have a very particular style, color or pattern I’m wanting. I’ve never had a problem finding a pair I love at Richland. They offer a wide variety of frames from timeless classics to bold & trendy. This is my newest pair I just picked up. These are WOOW designer frames, one of my favorite brands.
