I've known the Folline family for years, been to their weddings, and have been a customer at Folline on Taylor for 30 years but only to get frames and lenses. For eye exams, I had been using Dr Cohen at Rubin. But he retired this year. I called to get an appointment for an eye exam at Folline. I was told curtly that Folline does not take Medicare. I asked for a reduction in the $75 eye exam fee but was told, ""That's not negotiable."" Sadly, it is: Goodbye, Folline. Happily, it is: Hello, Lenscrafters at Richland Mall (803-790-0000). They have optometrists and take Medicare! Lenscrafters welcomes people 65 and over.
