I was having trouble resolving an issue with my contacts with my previous eye doctor so I decided to switch and luckily stumbled upon Dr. Canting's practice. He knew exactly what was wrong and resolved my issue pretty quickly. He is really friendly and funny with his patients. Once during a yearly check up, at the last minute it was decided I really needed my eyes dilated and even though that takes time and I hadn't scheduled for that, there was no hesitation getting it done. He's very patient when I ask him to keep switching between lenses because I analyze so much deciding whether "A" or "B" is the better one! His office is not exactly close to my work or home, but it's worth the drive. I have been going to his practice for years now and I highly recommend him.

Michael Meyers

Great staff, nice new location!

Lisa Kruse

Very personable and professional. The staff's always very friendly and welcoming. Been seeing him over 14 years now, that should say something. I live in Charlotte now but drove here today to see him.

Can't say enough good things about this place. I'm happy to have found the eye care specialists for me

Richard Hayes

Been with Dr. Canting for many years. He and all the staff are outstanding. We have since moved out of Cary but our family will still make the drive to his office whenever we need quality eye care. And, GO NAVY!

This is the best experience I have had in an Optometry office. Dr. Canting and his staff are second to none, and have helped me and my family over the past 6 years. They are always extremely helpful and informative. Thank you to all of the staff at Preston Plaza Optometry, we look forward to being loyal customers for many years to come!!!

"The Doc" saved my sight in my left eye. I had a torn retina and didn't know it. I hate getting my eyes dilated and I am VERY stubborn - but thank God "The Doc" won that argument, I consented to the dilation...he saw the quite large tear, immediately set up a visit with a specialist for the next day, called me at home after the procedure and all is well. One thing I would advise patients is, LISTEN to the Doc, get the COMPLETE eye exam, be prepared for some zingers, because The Doc is REALLY funny and has a great personality! Dr. Canting LOVES what he does and it shows!!!

sam murari

The best eye doctor around the area! Hands down. He goes above and beyond for you... I've been to 3 eye doctors in the past 4 years and none of them suited me.

Timothy Swartzfager

I've been a patient here for almost 12 years.

I always felt I received top flight care from Dr. Canting. He took a real interest in my eye health. Once, I had some flashing in my eye, and he met quickly after hours to see if I had a loose retina, which thankfully I did not. I have used him for about 15 years. I have recently had cataract surgery, do am unlikely to see him any more.

Dr Canting and his staff are all very dedicated to proving top quality care.

Deborah Austin

I have been seeing Dr Canting for many years! Not only does he have the best personality ever but he is a fantastic Doctor! I would never consider going to any other eye professional.

Jeremy Caldwell

Been with Dr. Canting for 5 years now and can say he and his staff are the best I've encountered where I care is concerned. My family and I have never had a bad experience there and will continue to remain his patients as long as he's practicing.

After non-stop turnover of doctors at my previous provider (one of the big national chain types), switched over here after seeing the new office which is close to my work. So happy I did. It's clear Dr. Canting loves what he does and cares for his patients. Rather than just trying to get you in and out as fast as possible, he spends time with his patients, and his energetic personality is contagious. The staff is great too. Switching my daughter over too even though it's a bit of a drive from home...but so worth it. Highly recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Canting for nearly 20 years. I wouldn't go to any other eye doctor, and I wish that every one of my others doctors were exactly like him. He is one of the two most competent doctors I've ever seen; a very keen diagnostician and always has the perfect solutions to any issue. He is very caring toward all his patients. He makes himself available when I have concerns, always fitting me into his extremely packed schedule. He's also very friendly and kind. Everyone in his office is equally attentive, caring, and treats you like family.

Lisa Coole

Dr. Canting is AWESOME!!! My daughter had something in her eye that we couldn't get out on a Sunday morning and she was in a lot of pain. I called Dr. Canting's after hours phone # to ask for an urgent care recommendation that could deal with eye issues but he insisted on seeing her himself! 20 minutes later he had the object out. What Dr. opens his office on a Sunday to help a patient these days? I had already been thrilled with Dr. Canting when I was trying to find bi-focal contacts that would work for me. Most people have to deal with a lense for distance and one for up close, but that didn't work for me when working on a computer (middle distance). Dr. Canting saw me at least 6 times to make sure I found the perfect pair even though I was willing (only because I didn't want to bother him) to settle on something less than perfect. He was so happy to help and really wanted to make sure I had the perfect set. Ask any eye Dr. - finding the right prescription for bi-focal contacts can be like finding a needle in the haystack so most drs. aren't willing to suggest it as an alternative for their patients because they don't want to do what Dr. Canting did - take the time to see me several times to find that perfect prescription. Thank you Dr. Canting - you are AWESOME!!!

After several years of poor experience (no continuity with the doctors and opticians, hurried eye exams, incorrect prescriptions requiring multiple trips to correct, etc.) at a large eye care chain, we decided to try Dr. Canting based on the excellent reviews for his office. Our experience was also 5 star - personal treatment by Dr. Canting and his staff, a very thorough exam including time to discuss several issues and a very honest recommendation that new glasses were not needed. Dr. Canting will be our new eye doctor.

Robert Brown

I usually dont post Google reviews negative or positive but Dr. Canting and his team is worth the time. My entire family has been going to his practice for many years and I cant say enough positive things about them. Dr. Canting has always been upbeat and positive. Holly is the pro at making sure your insurance claim is taken care of correctly and is super to work with. A great team!

LD Frederick

Excellent is the perfect word for Dr. Canting and his team! They are excellent care providers with excellent customer service and a pleasant office atmosphere. I have been going here for a decade (even when I have lived out of state) because I wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly, I rarely, if ever write reviews, but I rely heavily upon them when in need of a new provider, service, trip, etc. Therefore, I thought I'd chime in case this helps anyone else. I reiterate that you cannot go wrong with this practice. Good luck and have a great day!

Teresa Whittaker-Smith

Excellent eye exam by Dr. Canting. My wife recommended to me and then I recommended to a co-worker who also thought Dr. Canting was great. Professional staff, nice location.

M Cartier

Dr. Canting and his staff are always kind, helpful, and willing to answer all of my questions with honesty and a sense of humor.

Amy Collins

This was my first time at Canting Optometry and I am very impressed. The staff from front desk, to preliminary exam and exam by Dr Canting was quick, thorough and very professional. Dr Canting is awesome and so funny! Heidi helped me pick out the perfect frames and I was out in an hour. I highly recommend!

Uwe has been my neighbor, friend, and eye doctor for over a decade. He always asks me about my world-wide travels and other events.

Teresa Hardison

My experiences with Preston Plaza Optometry (formerly Eyecare Center) have always been outstanding. Dr. Canting and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. On a personal note, Dr. Canting is responsible for essentially saving my father's life. My father went in for a regular checkup and alerted Dr. Canting to a gray film that was sporadically floating across his eye. Dr. Canting ran some tests and immediately became concerned and sent him to a neurological ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist determined my father previously had several TIA's (mini strokes). My father was then referred to a neurologist to determine the cause. He found out that he had a blocked carotid artery in his neck and was at high risk for a massive stroke at any given time. Surgery followed shortly thereafter, the artery was cleared, and my father is doing great. None of that would have been possible and my father may not be here today if it were not for Dr. Canting's expertise and thoroughness. I have heard several other examples where Dr. Canting examined a patient, during business hours or after, that led to emergency and/or life-saving care. Dr. Canting is an outstanding doctor and even better person. He puts his patients and their health above all else. My family will never go anywhere else and I would recommend him to anyone. I strongly encourage anyone looking for eye care to call Preston Plaza Optometry, set up a visit, and see for yourself.

Brent Kappler

I have been going to Dr. Canting for many, many years and there is no one better. Dr. Canting and his staff are friendly, professional and super attentive. If you're looking for a great optometrist, I highly recommend Canting Optometry for your eye health, glasses and contacts.

Jacob Stephens

Every year I leave with a great experience! I highly recommend Dr Canting to everyone. The prices for annual exams and contact are very competitive even without vision insurance.
