    We've been going to Loudoun Eye Associates at Ryan Park and have had great service.

    I have been to both Loudoun County Eye Associates and Ashburn Vision Source near Starbucks/Car Wash/7-11. I found the doctors at both locations to be professional and pleasant, especially Dr. Hinkle at Ashburn Vision Source. Both worked with my VSP plan. The office at Loudoun Eye Associates has a better selection of frames if you are looking for glasses, but both places take about 2 weeks to make lenses but are far more thorough than Lens Crafters. Ashburn Vision Source special ordered a sunglasses frame style that they did not have in stock for me. Also Loudoun Eye Associates are closed on Wednesday.

    I suggest visiting both web sites to help find which office may serve best serve your interests:

    We have seen Dr.Hinkle a few times in the last 3-4 years and we like him a lot. He is very good.

    Ashburn Vision Source - Dr. Hinkle and his staff are wonderful, we've been customers for years. Very professional and lovely people. If you have emergencies (pink eye, etc.) they'll always fit you in.

    Don't go to Carey Eye. I've had the worst experience EVER with them. Completely unprofessional and ridiculous. It took me THREE months to get my contact lenses - and instead of getting the 12 month supply I ordered and paid for, I got 6 months. They didn't even check it - I had to bring it to their attention before I left. As usual, I got a "I'll look into it and get back to you." Two weeks ago - still waiting. Totally typical experience there for me.

    Ended up with Dr. Hinkle at Vision Source. Excellent. No high pressure to buy anything, great front desk customer service, in and out. I definitely recommend.
