This place is amazing! One of the best opticals I have been to! Fast, friendly service. Great selection. Designer eyewear. Takes different types of insurance. Vision and prescription tests. Full service optical. Also they don't make eyeglasses, they ship them to professional providers like most opticals, and serve many people in the Quad Cities. The prescriptions are very accurate, and I especially thought the assistant staff was very nice and puts you at ease. Offered replacement glasses on our insurance, which is helpful w... read more

1 Star for the Doctor. Picked up my new glasses 2 weeks ago. They do NOT help with my vision. Thankfully, I can get - and did purchase glasses at the dollar store that work just fine. At Bard Optical, the "DR." seemed to be in a rush with my eye exam. 1st she said can you see the letters & I said yes. THEN she said "I am going to say YOU HAVE 20/20 vision and just need reading glasses." The glasses arrived and I did see some words on a paper, so I thought that was great! When I was home, I realized the glasses were of no use... read more

BEWARE!!! After going to this location in order to have a comprehensive eye exam, to see if my prescription needed changing, I shelled out $612.52. After abotu 10 days I was notified that my order was finished. When I went to pick up the glasses, only the sunglasses were finished. I asked the lady why I was told that the order was complete? I was told that it was a mistake and the clear glasses would be another few days before being completed. After another week, I was informed via email that the order was done, and they cou... read more

Gave me a glass exam when i went in for a contract prescription change so when I went to order contacts my insurance had already paid for my yearly exam and they couldn't give me my contacts without having a contact exam that i would have to pay out of my pocket. Very poor service going back to Nobbe!

I wanted to write a review to let others know about my recent experiences with Bard Optical in Sterling Illinois. I recently changed jobs and consequently my insurance provider changed as well, my previous eye doctor was no longer covered so I searched for a new provider and ended up at Bard Optical. When I called and set up the appointment I wasn’t told to bring anything but my insurance card and photo id. I brought my contact boxes with just in case they needed to see them, good thing because and the whole appointment woul... read more

Bard Optical made glasses for me that were so defective as a result of poor workmanship, that they caused me two years of double vision and migraine headaches. I had numerous tests including an MRI of my brain to make sure that there was not a tumor that was causing my double vision and headaches. Finally my ophthalmologist tested not only my eyes but also my glasses and found that the cause of these significant problems was the glasses. These glasses, which were made by Bard Optical's own lab, had more than 4 times the reco... read more

When I called for an initial appointment the receptionist was rude. I let it go and thought maybe she's having a bad day. She quoted the price of my visit with my insurance plan. I had my visit, the optomotrist was rude as well as the rest of the staff. Then they quoted a price for my contacts and when my contacts came in, the price was almost double and it was for half the quantity. I will never go there again and recommend anyone who doesn't want to get ripped off not to step foot in this place. I told the optometrist that... read more
