I moved here recently from San Diego, CA and needed to find a new eye doctor. I read the reviews on Google and Yelp to help me make a decision. I chose Carolina Forest Family Eyecare and I'm glad I did. I have suffered from dry eye from Sjogrens for about 5 years and was getting worse. Dr. Weshefsky and his staff were very pleasant, efficient and thorough in their exam and will be performing more exams to determine the best plan for my situation. Dr. W explained the problem and listened to what I had to say, giving me options as to what could be done. I was impressed with the up-to-date equipment and technology used and glad to see that they kept visual records of their findings, not just written notes. Being able to see and keep all those images would surely help immensely in making future decisions about my eye care. I would recommend them to anyone who needs to have a new eye specialist.

I have used this practice for years and have been very pleased. The staff is friendly. They are very mindful of appointment times. I feel like the doctor takes time to understand my situation before making recommendation. They do sell lens and frames. They work with me and help me use my insurance benefits wisely. I would recommend highly.

I have been wearing progressive lenses for years and they are not cheap. I spend most of my day in front of a computer monitor and started experiencing neck pain and blurriness. I tried several times raising, lowering and re-positioning my chair and monitor to no avail. After discussing my problem with Dr. Weshefsky, and some further vision testing, he knew right away what I needed. It was recommended that I try 'work station' lenses to increase that sweet spot my everyday progressives do not provide enough of. After hesitating to spend extra money on a second pair of glasses, I went ahead and purchased them. The minute I put them on for work I was AMAZED at the difference. No more neck pain or frustration from looking up and trying to view the screen. I highly recommend these for fellow progressive wearers that spend a lot of time in front of a monitor!

Dr. Vuppala

I'm a physician so have some insight on being provided good care. The care that I received by Dr. Weshefsky and his staff was exceptional. I have suffered with keratoconus for some time now and this is the first time since she was born that I am able to recognize my daughter's face amongst other things with my affected eye- it's truly life changing. Dr. W has a passion for what he does and not only did he explain everything but he did in understandable terms and he did it with patience. He had no aversion to questions unlike many in the health care field. My final lens fit perfectly and his staff took the time to train me to put in and remove the lenses, supplying all the equipment I would need. Since going to Dr. W I have referred patients to him and will continue to do so and my only hope is that he never retires or moves from the the area. Restoring vision is one of the greatest gifts one can give to another and I truly owe Dr. Weshefsky more than the services cost.

From the moment I walked thru the door, I was treated in a friendly and caring manner. The staff explained what each test was for and I have never received such an in-depth explanation of the results of my examination as I did with Dr. Weshefsky! He not only told me the results but showed me and explained it in laymans terms. I really appreciated that as it really helps to understand what is happening with your eyesight!

Top notch staff and doctor! The staff were super professional and courteous. Made me feel comfortable and are committed to explaining options both with the eye care and insurance/financial information. Was able to register my patient information online in advance rather than on a clipboard to delay my visit! Online scheduling followup reminder plus a phone call from their staff. I was really impressed. They came highly recommended and I agree. Definitely the best in the area for eyecare.

I'VE NEVER HAD A BETTER EXPERIENCE AT ANY DOCTORS OFFICE BEFORE! Dr. W and his adorable staff were all so eager to help, their costumer service was just outstanding. As soon as I walked in the door I was taken back by the warm welcome. They offered me coffee and water while I sat filling out the forms and even came out from behind the desk to help me fill in a bit of information I didn't quite understand and there is even optional info you can fill out that is there just to get to know you better which really MADE ME FEEL IMPORTANT TO THEM. It was only a minute after I finished filling out paper work when I was called to start. Everything went by so quickly and easily. When it was time to choose my frame his staff already knew what would look best on me. I COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER.

I was looking for the best optometrist I could find and found that in Dr. Thomas J. Weshefsky. The only word that comes to mind is impeccable.

Q&A with Dr. Weshefsky | Gentle Vision Shaping Lenses

What is Gentle Vision Shaping?

Gentle Vision Shaping is a non-surgical procedure used to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The cornea, the outer window of the eye, is reshaped while sleeping with a molding lens at night. This reshaping of the cornea corrects the vision during the daytime to allow for clear vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

More about Gentle Vision Shaping

Who is a Candidate for Gentle Vision Shaping?

In order to determine if the patient is a good candidate for the procedure we will perform a thorough eye examination. During the examination, your optometrist will take a series of measurements of the cornea to determine its shape, thickness, and size. We will also check thoroughly for any eye diseases or dystrophies that may disqualify the patient. Most of the time we do dilate the pupils to allow for a more thorough examination of the retina. We will also do a very thorough and precise refraction to determine the amount of prescription we need to correct. We will then custom order...
