The Connection Between Diabetes and Eye Health

High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the eyes, leading to several common conditions: 1. Diabetic RetinopathyThis is the most common eye disease linked to diabetes.

Went on appointment to get a DBQ & Nexus letters done for VA claim and they wouldn't write my letter because they say they don't take my United healthcare or my VA medical insurance. Man what a kick in the teeth and I'm a USAF VETERAN that need the letter done buy doctor that diagnosed my condition. It's just a letter that the diagnosing doctor only can write. So out done, bad enough serving your country even worse when the eye doctor that diagnosed you and did your Lazer percedure want even write a letter on a piece of paper for you!!!!!!! PS(When I came to your office for a scheduled visit you should've just wrote me a Nexus letter for free just because I'm your patient and also a paying patient.The Nexus letter was your responsibility and used at va claims for va claims. You diagnosed my Glaucoma and did my Lazer percedure.It's sad that you told me to leave just because you no longer take my insurance.

Do not make the mistake of purchasing your glasses from 20/20 Optics at Shreveport Eye Specialists unless you are seeking absolute incompetence. In that case, look no further, for you have found the masters of remarkable ineptitude in the field of eyeglasses. Two months of back-and-forth with 20/20 Optics and I still have yet to receive the correct pair of glasses. 20/20 Optics has done everything except place an order for the correct combination of frames and lenses.

As a testament to 20/20 Optics' gross ineptitude, I am currently wearing their third failed attempt at ordering the correct glasses, and am eagerly awaiting the fourth attempt, which I dare say will also be a failure. What a challenge it must be to enter the correct numbers from the given prescription into the system and place the order. If somehow this remarkable feat is achieved, expect the lenses to be scratched. Spare yourself the (literal) headache of not being able to see due to 20/20 Optics!

Edit: If 20/20 Optics spent as much time working as they do responding to Google reviews, they would’ve made the glasses right the first time.

Need a great eye doc? I know a guy. He saved my eye from a nasty fungal infection in spite of predictions he would not. A corneal transplant and cataract removals have meant I can now read without glasses or contact lens. And everyone here CARES about the people they are treating. THE BEST.

I had a bad experience because I made an appointment with these people. I get there and they tell me it got canceled because there was no doctor in. Thanks for letting me know at the very last moment when I arrived and tried to get checked in. Not to mention i drove almost an hour just to not get seen.

From the moment I entered the offices of Shreveport Eye Specialists and after several visits and treatments, my eyes are in their best shape since I was a teenager, so many, many years ago. Every member of the staff I encountered was smiling, friendly and very efficient. My anxieties were put to rest by the clearly explained options for treatment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. VanNorman and Dr. Meyer-Borel to anyone in need of eye care without reservation of any sort.

(NEW INFO ADDED IN RESPONSE) Twice now has closed early so when I show up to pick up contacts, no one is there. It’s very inconvenient when I leave work early with two small children and no one is there when they say they are supposed to be. Please keep someone there until 5pm when you close!!!
******It won't let me reply to you, but for some clarification:
-The hours online say until 5pm, the hours on your door say until 5pm, and other patients were there with me trying to pick up their contacts/glasses on both occasions. So your explanation of "we tell our patients we close at 4:30" hasn't been working (or isn't real).
-Lastly, when I arrived, it was technically 4:28pm and the doors were already locked and the lights off. You didn't leave at 4:30. You left earlier. I'm nitpicking because your responded like I arrived after your closing hours, but you leave whenever you feel like it. Which is fine, but don't be surprised when people are unhappy for leaving work early to pick up something from a retail shop that doesn't stay open as long as it says it will. Thank you for your reponse.*******

A very quick and easy experience! Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. I have used many eye care providers and never found any of them that felt as professional and customer/patient focused. I have found my forever eye care home. Thank you all so much!

Dr Rachel Meyer-Borel and her incredibly friendly and accomplished crew are a breath of fresh air. I've been wearing glasses since 1966. 58 years. I don't think I've ever had a better experience. Fast, considerate, thorough, relaxed, and professional. The doc is very personable and great to work with. I was completely satisfied with my exam and I highly recommend Dr R.M-B and crew.
You can find them at Shreveport Eye Specialists on Line Ave by the beautiful Giant Eye Ball.

Friendly and professional service from all the staff. As both I and my wife were both moving forward with lens replacement, the consultation provided us a very thorough understanding of the process to replace our eye lenses and the options available to each of us.

We found Dr. Van Norman to be very compassionate and an excellent surgeon.

Thank you!
