I had a very bad experience with Campbell Cunningham & Taylor. I’ll just hit the highlights to keep this brief. All I needed was a routine exam and prescription for my contacts (which I have worn for years). The prescription I was given was wrong. So wrong in fact, that after wearing the new contacts for one day, I had vertigo-like symptoms for over a week (very dizzy and nauseous). I spent two weeks wearing my glasses only before my equilibrium got back to normal (I’m relatively young and in good shape). I then went to another eye doctor in town (who was great), got a very different prescription than the one from CCT, and everything was just fine.\r

I can’t say the doctor at CCT gave me the wrong prescription because he never even checked it. His assistant did the testing to determine it and he never went back to review. After I put in the trial pair of contacts he gave me, I told him that things did not look right and I thought the prescription was off. He said not to worry, it was because my eyes were still dilated and everything would be fine after that wore off.\r

As if making me physically ill for more than a week wasn’t enough, they were extremely rude when I explained what happened and said I was not paying the remaining $40 balance on my account (I had already paid them nearly $300 and was not seeking to get that part back). I declined their suggestion to “get a lawyer” and just paid the remaining bill. So effectively, I paid CCT over $300 for a prescription I can’t use and for making me sick for more than a week. What a bargain! By the way, the exam from the second eye doctor I went to, the one that was so much better, cost over 70% less than CCT’s.
