I first meet Dr. Magalhaes when I went to him with an issue with glasses purchased from another company. These new glasses gave me a headache and also made be noxious. The other company’s optometrist said that I should just wear them and they will be fine although prior I had worn glasses for over 20 years with no similar issues. Dr. Magalhaes immediately found that the glasses were not ground properly. He made me new glasses which were very comfortable and provided great eyesight.
On another occasion, I purchased some aviator prescription sun glasses in which one lens gave slightly degraded vision. Again Dr. Magalhaes quickly found and resolved the issue by having a new lens made which gave perfect vision.
On both of these occasions I was totally amazed that Dr. Magalhaes resolved the issues not by conducting extensive lens tests but just by a quick visual examination of the lens.
My wife and I, we both have purchased glasses from Lens Crafters, have found Dr. Magalhaes to be very

I made an appointment for an eye exam and explained that I wanted to try contact lenses instead of prescription glasses. Staff was extremely unprofessional and charged extra fees for pre screening testing and contact lense instruction without informing patient. During eye exam, I told Dr. Magalhes that I was interested in monthly soft contact lenses but staff ordered daily lenses and wasted my entire morning for fitting appointment with the wrong product. Needless to say, I will never seek their services again nor would I recommend anyone to seek their services for eye care.
