I love Dr. Kent I have been going to him 10+ years!  I am truly amazed about the technology today and I love how Dr. Kent is always up to date.  He removed my cataract and it opened a whole new world, I can’t stop staring at my grandkids.  Thank you for making me feel and see 20 years younger!

Excellent customer service, everyone from the people at the front desk to the doctor to the optical shop were great! Friendly place!

I have worn contacts for years to correct my vision for mono vision. In my later years I developed cataracts on both eyes. Dr. Kent advised when they were removed we could do the same correction. I was a little apprehensive at first. We did my right eye first which is my distance eye and following surgery I had 20/20 vision for the first time in years. I maintained my left eye vision for close up with a contact because I was a little chicken to have surgery on it so I waited about two years before having the surgery. I recently had the surgery and I cannot tell you how happy I am with the outcome. For the first time since I was a kid I am contact free. I love it! I would recommend mono vision correction to anyone having cataract surgery. Dr. Kent was very patient with me and all my silly questions. He’s the best!

Friendly staff and very professional. I was able to make an appointment and get in the same day which works great for my travel schedule at work.

The Eye Associates are more than just professionals. The entire staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. The exam was exceptional and extremely thorough. We were very impressed by our experience there.

The Eye Associates are the place to go when you need help with anything relating to your eyes! Everyone I came into contact with was not only extremely competent, but friendly and willing to help in any way. From Kati, at the front desk, to AmandaLyn, my tech, to Dr. Remmell, who explained everything so that I could understand it, to Adonna, who helped me with my glasses, my visit was wonderful…even enjoyable. The office itself is warm and inviting as well, and filled with state of the art equipment. I look forward to my yearly exams now!! You should try working with these people. You will be in very capable hands!

Had excellent service and results getting new glasses and sunglasses at The Eye Associates on Eagle Rd. I’ve had some problems in the past getting both glasses and sunglasses that truly fit and that I liked. I found cute styles and Adona worked with me to get exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I visited as a new patient due to an eye emergency and a referral from a doc in the box physician. I was impressed with the care given to me and the thorough exam and explanation of my condition by Dr. Rammell. He personally called a specialist immediately following my exam and was able to get me in to see them within 2 hours. I had laser surgery on my eye 3 hours after my initial exam here. I was very happy with how I was treated and all that was done to help me in getting my eye emergency totally resolved the same day. Thank you so very much!

Throughout my youth, and young adulthood, my sense of vision was very good. After many years that sense began to change. First, there was the need for reading glasses. Second, those reading glasses soon changed to a need for bifocal lenses, but still no need to wear them all of the time. After several years, however, there were to be more changes. Colors became dimmer, light became darker, even with bifocal lenses objects became less clear, and then the worst effect was the coming of the fog – making it almost impossible to see clearly. It was with extreme trepidation that I sought help with these issues. Fortunately, I was able to obtain an appointment with Dr. Gregory Kent of The Eye Associates.

Many times in my life my thought process as relates to my health status have lead me to believe events were the most severe and that each had a dire prognosis. When Dr. Kent told me that I had cataracts, and there was the ability to fix them, I was almost elated. What made the diagnosis most notable was in the manner in which Dr. Kent delivered the news, with calmness, compassion, clarity, and confidence.

It was not by chance that I had sought an appointment with Dr. Kent as I had previously worked directly with him almost two decades earlier, where I had the ability to see those same qualities demonstrated for scores of others experiencing the same conditions in their lives.

Still, while I had the opportunity to take part in the rendering of such care, it was quite different when I was the intended recipient of that care. Dr. Gregory Kent, and all of the staff members of The Eye Associates, have consistently demonstrated my needs were identified and effectively met, in most instances exceeding my high expectations. After all, they are my eyes and my vision.

While I may never know about the quality and outcomes relating to the use of other types of lens implants, I am very aware of those features as they relate to the use of the Tecnis Symfony® lenses. Now that I have both replacement lenses implanted, I do not need glasses to read, colors are brighter and more vivid, the tired eye feelings are gone, there is no more fog, and my life quality has improved. One might ask if the opportunity to correct vision issues is worth two periods of fifteen to twenty minutes of their time. As for me, the answer is definitely and emphatically yes.

Amazing/Attentive staff and gorgeous office!

Great service, been clients here for almost a decade. Dr. Dayton is friendly, answers questions and makes sure you are comfortable before leaving.

I highly recommend Dr. Kent at The Eye Associates and the Tecnis Multi-focal lens option. I had cataracts and hadn’t realized how much light I was missing in my vision. After the procedure not only can I see so much better, I feel better and younger! I definitely recommend the upgraded option of the multi-focal lens. It is wonderful not to need glasses anymore…just sunglasses!

We had a great experience at the Eye Associates. Friendly staff, cookies for the kids, a movie and toy room for the kids to play in. The doctor was great, explained everything well. Not pushy for getting expensive glasses. Very helpful and friendly. We will be going back!

We love Dr Dayton and The Eye Associates. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Love the waiting room and the option to have young kids wait in a movie theater room. � So much fun!!   The ladies at the glasses and contacts area are amazing as well and know their stuff, especially Adonna! She helped us get glasses and contacts ordered. Super friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you!

WOW!
Trees have individual leaves!
Colors are really bright.
I can read the newspaper without picking it up.
Street signs are legible again.
I’ve been wearing too much blush.
Oncoming head-lights at night no longer look like fireworks.
Thanks so much for greatly improved vision!”

BOTH my kids had been diagnosed with cataracts. Having very frustrating experiences with other opthamologists throughout the years stating the fact but no solution, we finally were referred to Dr. Kent at The Eye Associates. From the moment we walked into a very serene office space, we were greeted by the front desk staff who were very warm and welcoming. The streamlined process for their evaluations, explanations for all they would need to expect about the process put them at ease. Dr. Kent is amazing. He has such a calming demeanor and really knew how to make two teenagers laugh. Their surgeries went beautifully and we felt like we were treated like “family” and not just patients. Because of Dr. Kent, my son can legally drive and both kids actually see real colors for the first time! I will definitely be using him and his wonderful staff for my treatment needed for dry eye in the near future!

If you can say surgery is a good experience, mine with Dr Kent was a 10. I had a cataract on both eyes with results unbelievable. Before surgery it was like looking through a fog. Now looking out, things are more bright & vivid.

I also see color in a different shade. Instead of dull, the colors are brighter. As a final note, the very next day I thought my husband put new flourescent lights in the kitchen with just the one eye done. Of course he didn’t, but it goes to show what a big difference the surgery did for me. I would recommend Dr. Kent highly and his staff

Have you ever been sitting there reading a Superman comic book through your dirty and hazy glasses wishing you could have super vision like Superman? You know, the heat vision, x-ray vision and being able to see for miles and miles because of the power you receive from the radiation of earths yellow sun?

Yeah, me too.

That was until I was introduced to this wonderful place known as The Eye Associates! They are equal to the Justice League for eyes.

Samantha Judah is a godsend and is incredible at her job. She is extremely knowledgeable with all of the processes and has a calming demeanor about her. She makes you feel welcomed and is there for you every step of the way. She is the Supergirl to Superman, the Green Lantern to the Lantern Core, the Ironman to Tony Stark, the Harley Quinn to the Joker.

I don’t think it is a coincidence the Dr. shooting corrective lasers into eyes is Dr. KENT. <— Superman. Dr. Kent (who I will refer to as Superman from now on) explained the procedure very thoroughly in initial screening to make sure I felt comfortable with what can be a nerve racking procedure. However, Superman has saved many, many eyes in his time and is to be trusted.

I used to be a pleb and noob who wore glasses. Constantly cleaning them and letting them detract away from my glorious beard. Now thanks to the Hall of Justice…err…. I mean the Eye Associates, I am glassesless and all people can focus on my wonderful beard without being distracted by my dirty glasses.

Thank you to everyone there. It was a great experience and my life is forever better because of this amazing team. I can’t say I have heat or x-ray vision… yet. However, I can see clearly now that my iLasik is done. I can see all obstacles in my way. Gone are the dark frames which had me blind. It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day.

We have been seeing Eye Associates since we moved to Boise in 2003. The Doctors there have seen us through glaucoma treatments, Iritis, a tear duct drain, glasses prescription changes and appropriate referrals when needed. The Eye Associates definitely keeps up with technology with new equipment seeming to be on site every year. We are very satisfied with the Doctors, the professionalism and the care received. The eyeglass shop is convenient and they have a wide range of styles. You can be assured an excellent fit!

When I went in to The Eye Associates for an annual eye exam, I can not tell you how surprised I was to find out that I had cataracts in both eyes. I thought I just needed a new eyeglass prescription. They told me that they were the fast growing kind and that I should have surgery right away. I met with Dr. Kent and he scheduled the surgeries quite quickly. My right eye was worse than my left eye, so he scheduled the surgery for my right eye first and then my left eye two weeks later.

Since my surgeries I have drastically reduced the amount of bleach I was using, I really DO have white towels. I am no longer contributing quite as much to the Windex and Brawney Corporations, and I have realized that Boise does not have an inversion/smog problem after all. I am very happy to report that I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes, without glasses, and that is something I have not been able to brag about in over 20 years.

I would really like to thank Dr. Kent, his staff at The Eye Associates, and at Eagle Eye Surgery Center for making what could have been a dire situation, one that I can now look back on and smile, while I resume the hobbies that I have had to forgo for several years, such as reading and cross stitch.
Thank you all!!

Terrific staff from the receptionist to the optometrist Doctor.  The Eye Associates was a superior experience from just waiting in their pleasant lobby, going through the exam with Amanda Lyn, the eye technician and then getting to meet Dr. Dorian Rammell. He was professional and able to answer all my questions and tell me exactly what my poor eyes have been needing. I really enjoyed working with my prescriptions lens and eye glass frame sales person Adonna, she was able to figure out my style and tastes pretty spot on in short order. Thanks again ‘The Eye Associates’!

My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving and gratefulness for all God has done for me this year. One of the most exciting blessings was the gift of good vision once again. It is such a blessing to be able to see so well and I rejoice in this daily as I realize how clearly I am seeing now. I am thankful for the knowledge, skill, and excellence you demonstrated as my eye surgeon this year when you did my cataract surgeries. I am very pleased that I followed your recommendation to have my lens implants be optimized for my mid-range vision. This has proven to be a very good choice. I am continuing to do well and often give thanks to God for leading me to choose you for my eye doctor. I also appreciate so much the excellence of all your staff members. They were all so kind and helpful and competent, both at the office and at the surgery center.

I feel so blessed to have good vision restored.

I found the Eye Associates and have been completely thrilled with their professionalism, their dedication and their friendliness. Dr. Kent is wonderful, he made me feel comfortable and his bedside manner is just truly amazing. I would definitely recommend the Eye Associates to everyone that asks.

During the past six months, Dr. Kent performed cataract surgery on both my right and left eyes. I was apprehensive that someone would be operating on my eyes, but Dr. Kent walked me through the process explaining in medical and layman terms what was occurring with my eye sight, the surgery process, timeframes for surgery and post-surgery and expected results. He knew I was apprehensive, regarding eye surgery, but explained it is human nature to be concerned, and to trust his medical education, training and experience. My left eye was operated in March 2016 and my right eye, May 2016. In both surgeries, I was able to drive myself to the doctor’s office the next day. There was no pain during the operation and no post-operative pain. Within three days I was amazed how clearly my eye sight was and I am thoroughly enjoying my new eye sight. The clarity and sharpness of my new eye sight is fantastic.

If you are looking for an excellent eye doctor, outstanding staff, easy to find business location, I would highly recommend Dr. Kent.

The Eye Associates get two thumbs up! I am a welder and have always been able to count on the Eye Associates for prompt metal/debri removal from my eyes. The knowledgeable Drs., friendly staff, and state of the art equipment has earned my trust over the last 13 years. Thanks again for taking such great care of my eyes!

We’ve had a great experience there for my kindergartner. Dr. Rammell is great with kids, and very knowledgable about getting the best vision possible. Pleasant office staff, great location.

The team here is absolutely amazing, always a great experience!

Love the staff ! So professional yet makes you feel like family every time ! Top notch !

Had LASIK done to correct me from what had changed from LASIK in 2001 (legally blind both eyes, had degraded from 20/15 to 20/40) and now I am seeing better than EVER! My wife is now in for LASIK as well as my daughter. The staff is AWESOME, trust them with my and my family’s eyes! I recommend them to everyone I know who is struggling with their vision. Thank You ALL!!

I had Lasic done. Best investment I have ever made. I wore contact lenses for most of my life and it’s so nice to be contact free with better vision than I’ve ever had before. Great doctors, friendly staff, and incredible technology!

Adonna provided the BEST customer service I have ever received in an eye care office. She was patient, helpful, friendly and actually explained things clearly and answered all of my questions. I will be back with my family and look forward to working with her again !!!

Great place, the staff is professional and friendly. Dr. Rammell was amazing, very thorough and open to listen to all concerns. Highly recommended!

I only began wearing glasses five years ago when I realized that my arms were no longer long enough for me to read schematics for work on a daily basis. Not to mention being able to focus on small parts in the medical laboratory equipment I work on. The receptionist was very helpful answering my questions and researching my insurance benefits. The technicians were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. I was delighted to see how the procedure will improve my near vision and clear up the fuzziness. The atmosphere was very pleasant with upscale decor. Much different than the typical eye doc in a box like a McDonald’s or Burger King on every corner.

I had a Wonderful experience getting lasik done. The knowledgeable and friendly staff made the process quick and easy! Thank you

I went to the Eye Associates for contacts and glasses along with a possible other issue. Very professional and pleasant. Took her time and even followed up with test results and to see how I was doing. The office staff and optical shop were excellent to work with as well. The wife had the same experience as well. Certainly an efficiently ran busy practice.

I have had 6 eye surgeries. 3 for lasik with Hollingshead and 3 for exotropia with Eye Associates (both eyes wander to outside, so you have to keep one eye closed to see one image). For the past 10 years I have not been able to see out of both eyes at the same time. It causes a complete lack of depth perception and I constantly ran into objects on my blind side. Last Wednesday Dr. Gregory Kent did a second operation on my left eye. Previously they had loosened the muscles on the outside of my eyes. This time he shortened the muscle on the inside of my left eye. Within hours after the surgery, I could open both eyes and see clearly for the first time in 10 years. I am grateful and thankful for the training and skills of all the staff at Eye Associates. It was a super positive experience. Especially thankful for Dr. Kent!!!

Dr. Kent really knows what he is talking about! I’m 8 years out from lasik and I am still experiencing amazing results! The staff is super nice but wait times can be long.

I had my first eye exam ever here based on a recommendation from a friend of my wife, who went from reading glasses to no correction, and I did the same. My eyes were great until in my 40’s and just continued to need stronger correction to read, but I thought I could still see well in the distance. I was wrong – but I didn’t know how wrong until after LASIK. I woke up the morning after having LASIK and turned off my alarm on my iPhone. To my delight, I could read my phone without fumbling for my glasses – haven’t worn glasses to read since. After having LASIK I am correction free and loving not having to put on and take off and find wherever I left my glasses! It’s great. Dr. Kent knows what he’s doing and gets right down to business. Don’t put it off. I would have done it years ago knowing what I know now.

Had a great experience. The exam was great with Dr. Dayton and his Assistant (forgot his name). Everything was on time and the young woman, Megan, that I worked with for an eyeglass solution provided me with great options for eye glasses. I never felt rushed, or pressured to buy something I didn’t want. Megan made me feel like she was truly concerned with the best solution for me. Megan also cleaned and replace the nose pads on my current eyeglasses. Seems like this business is getting more customer engaged!

I recently had LASIK surgery done by Dr. Kent at The Eye Associates. I have to say that it was an amazing experience. The level of care up to the procedure and after have always been great! Dr. Kent explained everything during every step of the way and made sure I was informed on everything they were doing. The staff made me feel comfortable and assured that my procedure would go smooth and trouble free. I couldn’t be happier with my LASIK. I have worn glasses for 29 years and contacts for 23 years. I wake up being able to see clearly and my eyes feel great. I would recommend anyone looking to get LASIK to go to The Eye Associates! Keep up the good work!

Great office with state of the art equipment. Eyes are so important used the most from the beginning of life until the end. Dr. Kent is caring concerned and knowledgeable in all of the newest research.

Recently I had eye surgery with excellent results. I can read without reading glasses which has made all the difference in the world. I recommend this surgery, especially at the very capable hands of Dr. Kent, you will truly be satisfied!

At first I was apprehensive, not with Dr. Kent whom I trust, but with the procedure itself. Although I had read much about it, it becomes a whole different scenario when you are the one who is going to have the surgery. What I have to say now is that I could not even have imagined the freedon it has given me. I never saw my reading glasses as being restrictive but in all reality they were.

I am an amateur photographer and in the past I would have to stop and get my reading glasses out just to see what my last photo looked like which would cause me to loose my opportunity for another shot. Now my photography is on the fly, I can glance, assess, and continue to shoot without hesitation. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who would ask. My post-operative recovery time has been short and I feel the surgery has been a total success.
