"Went in to get my new glasses, lady that waited on me was very nice and professional, I've been coming here for years, this is 3rd pair of glasses I've gotten from here, will continue to get my business, GREAT PLACE!!!"
"I was in dire need of an eye appointment before the end of December 2025 and there was an opening when I called. They got me right in was able to order my bifocals.From speaking to someone on the phone to each one of the ladies that I came in contact with that day and the doctor, They were nothing but wonderful. Even the lady that helped me pick out my glasses right there on site was wonderful! If you want a place that you are not considered just a number but a person this is where you need to be. You won’t be disappointed"
"Dr. Ou did a wonderful job on my eyes! I just picked up my glasses and I'm in 7th Heaven! I appreciate everything. You're always there to take care of me."
"Easy to make an appointment. My glasses broke and I was due for another exam. I opted for the “virtual kind” at the office where you go through the data collection process with a tech who then submits all the data to the doc. Tech was super sweet and kind. Virtual doc was helpful and prescription was accurate. Purchased contact lenses at this location using insurance. Took my eyeglass prescription with me to purchased frames and lenses elsewhere. I am grateful for the services offered and the kindness and professionalism of the staff."
"Always extremely thorough eye exams and explanations of issues. My doctor and the staff are always very pleasant and kind. My glasses are always a great fit and always perfect for correcting my vision issues - they always make sure they are exactly right!"
"I was in and had my right eye fixed from a cataract they got me in and they are fast now going back to get glasses soon thanks guys and ladies"
"Great exam and glasses are very nice too, had a screw come out and went in and Grace had it fixed in a few minutes!! Thanks so much!!"
"Dr. Hartzell is a miracle worker as far as I’m concerned! In just 2 years my eye sight had gotten extremely bad. I couldn’t read anything without glasses. I wanted lasik surgery to eliminate glasses and correct my bad vision. My night vision was also terrible, it was like everyone had their high beams on. After my eye exam I found out I had cataracts. I never expected that! I was very scared about surgery. Every one there was so kind and professional. Dr. Hartzell removed the cataracts and my sight is unbelievable!!! I actually read my fortune cookie at PF Changs and amazed my family. I would encourage anyone thinking eye surgery to call the Eye Center and ask for Dr. Hartzell!"
"When I came to the Eye Center of Central PA in 2016, it was a scary situation. I am a graphic artist by trade, so I need my eyes to earn a living. Both of my eyes were failing due to very aggressive cataracts... My vision turned so poor, so quickly that I could no longer drive, read a magazine or use a computer! Even something as simple as watching TV had become nearly impossible. My entire world was a blur, like looking through Saran Wrap. Dr. Hartzell and his entire staff were very assuring, comforting and confident their procedures would help me. Every step of the way they were efficient, organized and completely professional. Their cheerful demeanor before and during my surgeries, and at every follow-up appointment since, has proven I made the right choice for my eye care. The results? For the first time in 50 years, I no longer need glasses! Waking up each day with nearly perfect vision (20/25) is a true blessing in every way. My wife and I thank Dr. Hartzell, his nurses and staff for all their compassionate assistance and care. — James & Lori Wittlich"
