I was going to Dr. Mcavoy for years but my insurance switched so I went to the Dr. at Lenscrafters (I can't pronounce her name) and my children and I have never had a more thorough exam. She even discovered my daughter has something behind her optic nerve that may be the reason for her migraines. My 12 and 18 year old wear contacts as well. She is sending my daughter for an MRI

Dr. Farid Shafik of Southington Eye Associates and The Eyeglass place right down the hall with Jim@55 Meriden Ave.
Patricia G. replied:
If your daughter just needs an optometrist, (and most people do), I still recommend Accuvision. Doctors Bezahler and Shafik are good, but you really only need an ophthalmologist for more serious problems. And, Dr. McAvoy will tell you if you need to see one.

we love accuvision (Dr McAvoy)

Dr. Martha Maietta, New Britain, she was able to fit my daughter for contacts when others could not. She has glasses there too but we buy all our glasses from Jim at Eye-Wear Glasses in Bradley. He is wonderful, if glasses need adjusting, just stop in and he fixes them

I've been going to Dr. McAvoy at Accuvision since I was a teenager and still go. I really like him. He's extremely nice and helpful.
