First of all, I rarely write reviews, but am a avid review reader when purchasing something. But feel I must share my experience. My first encounter with Mainely Eyes was a year ago when I had an eye exam with Dr. Goldthwait ( because it was very hard to get an appointment in my hometown).He was very knowledgeable and very personable. I chose to fill my prescription at another local big chain business to save cost. Fast forward to the present time where my lens were so scratched ( maybe I didn't get such a bargain ) that I went back to Mainely Eyes and ordered new lens only.They called me at home twice, because I was out of town,to tell me that the lab would be closed in case I was planning on a trip there, which was the case. I planned a trip to Bangor to have my lens put in, only to find that the lab person was sick, so my lens could not be done. I just stood there, totally frustrated, thinking this has been such a process just to replace my lens. The person waiting on me clearly could see my disappointment offered to find a solution. Final outcome was her finding a frame ( at no cost to me!) very similar to mine and putting my old lenses into that frame and I left my original frames for the lab tech to put my new lens in the next day. I received a call the very next day to tell me that my glasses were in the mail ! They forever have my business as this is truly great service..and done with a smile !
