High quality service, great customer service and friendly employees. Helpful in every way. So thankful to have help in looking for new glasses and contact lenses. Would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again
Always a good experience here. My first time with a new doctor; I thought Dr. Ledford was very helpful and informative. Love the front desk staff. And I appreciated the COVID-safe environment.
Great experience! All staff were friendly, professional and very helpful..Would not hesitate to recommend RI Optometric!! Thank you to everyone!
I trust my vision to Dr. Arbet. I know I could save money going to other places, but over many years Dr. Arbet has been the best optometrist for me. He not only cares about my vision, but he cares about me and my family.
Everyone there is very positive , friendly, professional, and helpful. They made me feel comfortable with all the procedures they did and I love the new doctor Abigail
I was very impressed with the professionalism and the safety of the office. I received a very thorough eye examination and I was fitted in some beautiful glasses. I was very well pleased with the entire experience at Rock Island Optimetric Center.
Such a great experience. It was my children’s first appointment and everybody working was so friendly. They went in to see doctor in under 15 mins. I would recommend everybody to see them
Very pleasant people! Christopher Lear is the best!
The best eye exams in the area. They actually care.

Thank you for making my experience a good one today!
I felt very comfortable during my visit today. The staff were all kind and courteous. Dr. Ledford was very thorough and explained the results clearly. I would recommend her highly.
First time patient here and everyone was very kind. Dr. Sharp was thorough and willing and able to answer any questions I had, as was the person who helped me order my new glasses.
I had a great visit at the Rock Island Optometric Center today. My check-in was safe and secure, and my exam was very thorough. Dr. Lear even ran a few extra tests, due to some recent medication changes.
As always, I left feeling I got the best care possible.
Everything was great from the moment I checked in until the moment I left. Office staff was friendly. Doctor was great. She explained everything she did. The staff that helped you fit your glasses were also great. I changed my mind several …
Was quite a surprise to find out Dr Norquist retired first part of Dec. I was offered one of the other docs. I went with the younger one. Sometimes they have other thoughts on what’s happening. Or a different way to show or explain it.
She did well for my first visit with her.
Dr Ledford is absolutely wonderful. She provided me with the best eye exam ever. She is very personable , meticulous and professional and knowledgeable ! She explained the procedure prior to beginning each test. Thoroughly explained the …
Today was my first time using the Rock Island Optometric office. I was so impressed, everyone there were all happy and pleasant to work with. Dr Ledford was amazing and my exam was top notch, I was so excited to find out that they don’t use …
I love going here! I have Dr. Lear and he is amazing. My 6 year old sees him too, and this office may not be aimed as kid friendly, but I wouldn’t want anyone else seeing my kid! He is great to my son and makes him feel comfortable getting …
The Rock Island Optometric gets five stars from me. I was greeted by Jennifer with a smile. Mr. Lear is very good Optometric. I would recommend Mr. Lear to anyone. I stopped by on Tuesday August 24th. Asked Kim if I could see the nice …
Great customer service. Very kind and helpful.
This is a wonderful office. Staff is very professional and friendly. It’s very clean. Dr. Lear was great and on time. No waiting. I’ve been with this practice for many years and highly recommend them.
I really like this place. My eye doctor was super friendly very non-invasive and explained everything she was going to do and used positive reinforcement throughout my eye appointment. I don’t think I ever had such a pleasant experience at an eye doctors before in my life.
Dr Ledford was awesome. She listened to and answered all my questions. I felt my exam was very thorough. My whole experience was wonderful. Very efficient and friendly. The receptionist took the time to look up pricing for 3 different contact brands for me even though she was very busy.
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. Abigail Ledford was very personable and professional. Great assortment of glasses to choose from. I would recommend RI Optometric to anyone who needs a check up and glasses!!! Thank you all!
Did a great job, doctor was personable and had some real cool photos on his wall. Also figured out why I was having such a hard time with night driving—opt out of cheap anti-glare coating! Will be switching to these guys going forward.
Rock Islad Optometric is a great provider. The staff is pleasant and knowledgeable and I feel the prices are fair. I went to Dr. Nordquist for many years and he recently retired. My new doctor is Dr. Lear. Liked him both professionally and personally.
Always so friendly!! I always have an amazing experience.
Dr Lear really takes the time to talk to you and explain what he is doing and why. I always feel I have gotten the best treatment! This time Amber helped my husband and I find frames. She was excellent. My frames came from a draw she was …

First time at the Rick Island Optometric Center, staff was great and friendly. Thanks
Dr. Sharp is always super friendly and listens to any issues I may be experiencing. She also makes sure I leave with samples for contacts so I can make sure I like how they feel before ordering a bunch. 🙂
The staff is always so friendly when you walk in and my kids love Dr. Sharp.
They have a friendly staff and are most helpful. They answer all of your questions. Very good experience.
Always a great experience. Fabulous Fast Friendly Efficient service. Love RIOC.
I’ve been going to Dr. Arbit for over 30 years and continue to be impressed. The entire staff treats me very well and I’ll continue utilizing Rock Island Optimetric for the foreseeable future.
I’m always treated well. They are efficient and friendly an caring. I think this is the greatest Optometric Center.
From the moment I was checked in and until I paid my bill, I was served with professional courtesy and a splash of warmth. It was wonderful to be ‘seen’ and appreciated. Thank you!
Best eye exam I ever had. Very thorough exam. Explains what everything is going on with your eyes. Dr Lear is awesome.
I was in and out in a timely matter. Dr. Sharp was great and explained everything! The girls in the front were very helpful and friendly.
The doctor did a great job that’s always and the staff there is nice as always I give them a thumbs up because they do such a wonderful job
DrArbit is always so kind and patient. The staff was patient with me choosing a frame that my insurance pays for . I liked the new glaucoma test !
Love Dr. Lear always a pleasant experience. Lady that helped with my selection of frames was helpful and so nice to work with, sorry I did not get her name.
Dr. Arbet is wonderful. Staff all friendly. On schedule, prompt to help select frames. Excellent experience!
I’ve been going here since I was a kid, I’m nearly 21 now and still get treated very well by all of the staff. I’ve never experienced any poor treatment. Dr. Lear is amazing and a great person.
Staff are professional and helpful. Dr. Lear is the best. He always put you at ease and is patient and personable.
Always friendly and professional. Excellent technology and superb eye care. Have been a patient for years, highly recommend.
Their customer service is poor. Called to schedule an appointment for an eye exam, come to my appointment for the lady upfront to tell me it’s just to get a quote and look at glasses. I spoke to two people when booking my appointment. Very poor service and unsatisfied.
Dr. Sharp was thorough and great with my 4yo and 2yo. They were nervous going into the exam and both did great because she made them feel comfortable.
Very thorough eye exam, in fact best exam I’ve ever gotten, very busy office but everyone is treated with kindness no matter what kind of pay you have, this place deserve a 10 star rating in my book. ROCK ISLAND OPTOMETRIC CENTER IS THE BEST IN QUAD CITIES. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a great experience! The staff is exceptionally friendly, caring, and helpful.
When a cancelation came available, they called and I got in right away. …
I have been going to Rock Island Optometric Center for many years. My entire family went to see Dr. Nordquist who is now retired. My daughter’s family and myself see Dr. Sharp. Her exams are very complete and she answers your questions. All the staff are pleasant and helpful.
They were able to schedule me in for an emergency issue, and contacted me when an earlier opening became available. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. Could not be more pleased!! I was a new patient, but now I will be a returning one!
All Office staff I had dealings with are all pleasant and helpful. The doctor was very thorough and explained in layman’s language and I was given opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns. I would definitely recommend!
We are new patients. My daughter had been in the er with an eye issue the previous night. I called to get an appointment, expecting to have to wait a bit for one (which was more than fine). To my shock they got us in the same day. All staff was friendly and Dr. Sharp was great and patient with my daughter.
