Best opticians in California: find options near you

Dr Lee is excellent addition to the 2020 staff I book my appointment based on my availability so I can’t always see the Same Dr. my son enjoyed the visit with Dr Lee, being on the Spectrum some social cues can be missed and he felt comfortable with her, she’s patient knowledgeable and you can tell she loves her Career.

Dr. B is the best. She’s knowledgeable, and courteous. I’ve seen her for annual eye exams and for occasional medical issues with my eyes and feel she provides quality care. The staff is also great. I especially like Esmeralda. She goes above and beyond in helping repair glasses and ensuring everything is correct when ordering glasses and contacts.

Dr. Casagrande is an outstanding optometrist. You can immediately tell he has decades of experience—he’s wise, thorough, and knows exactly what to look for. He took his time, asked all the right questions, and was incredibly observant and detail-oriented throughout my visit. He’s also charismatic, friendly, and genuinely approachable, which made the appointment feel comfortable and easy. If you want an optometrist who is patient, highly knowledgeable, and truly cares about getting it right, Dr. Casagrande is exactly who you need. Highly recommend.

Great experience. First time here and it was awesome. Receptionist was nice and very welcoming. The Assistant was also hospitable. The doctor was amazing and explained everything well! She was patient and quick which was awesome. She didn’t rush me to get me out and stayed to answer any questions. The lady that helped me with the payments was the best! She helped pick out some glasses and gave honest feedback! She was patient and really helped me. She wasn’t trying to get done with me or make me feel i was bothering her but truly helped me. She wasn’t trying to push me to get something more expensive and or extra stuff I didn’t necessarily need like other places try to do. I’ve been to 3 other offices and this one is the best! Everyone that helped me had a great personality and smile from start to finish!

The whole staff was friendly, competent, and everything moved along fast,but not rushed. I would recommend this company for everyone who wants that old fashioned enjoyable, friendly experience. Doctor Casagrande’s experience of over 40 years, speaks so much his love for his patients. He keeps learning more about his field, being able to make good decisions about what his patients need, making smart evaluations of the what the test results show. He was recommended to me by my daughter-in-law. So thankful for the recommendation. He and his whole staff care for the precious lives that are here for good eye exams, glasses, and easy explanation of what the need. I pray, he doesn’t retire any time soon. I learned a lot from his explanations of my eye sight or lack thereof.

I would definitely recommend 20/20 Optometric Fresno (Blackstone location). Dr. Belardinelli is so sweet and very kid friendly. The staff is polite and knowledgeable, our glasses took less than a week for three pairs!!

They were wonderful and very professional. I was nervous and the optometrist was very sweet and professional. They were patient with helping me choose which glasses to best for me. I received my glasses quickly. They asked if I might need adjustments and then made them immediately. I am extremely satisfied with both my glasses and the service I received. Lisa Newman

My wife and I had a great experience at this optical office. Areli was very friendly, professional, and helpful from the moment I walked in. Thanks to Aarti the eye exam was thorough, and they took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions. I highly recommend this optical place to anyone looking for quality service, knowledgeable staff, and a great overall experience. I will definitely be coming back and referring my family and friends!

Araceli, Cameron, and Stephen provided remarkable service from start to finish.They are extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. It was a great visit and I will definitely return. Thank you for all you did.

It was my very first time here and Araceli was super helpful and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. I wanted to get contacts and she explained everything very thoroughly and was very patient when teaching me how to put them on! I would 100% reccomend anyone coming in to ask for her help and you will not be disappointed!

Aarti and her team of specialists were great, they provided great recommendations and affordable, Most definitely will be coming back here in the future.

The folks that work there are very nice and knowledgeable with what they do. My daughter and I been going there since 2021. My daughter was excited for the exam. It went quick. We picked out her glasses… 2 fashionable glasses. They have lots of selection. They also took care of me. My dog got to my vert first prescription glasses that I love very much and they were able to repair it at no cost. Happy customer… I can see again.

Im giving a 5 Star 🌟 everyone in the office was very helpful and pleasant!! The Dr. Was efficient, knowledgeable she explained everything and she was very friendly with a wonderful personality ❤️ The only thing I would say negative is the selection of frames avaliable that I can wear, i have a small face/nose and I am unable to wear the plastic frames there was so many of that type to choose from. I know they stock what sells thats not their fault, I did find a pair. Im not good at making a decession but the young lady was very helpful. Thank You all!!

I have been going to Li & Liao Optometry for many years now and every time I have my yearly check up it is beyond amazing! They are beyond professional! The office is so kind and friendly! What I love most is the «state of the art» technology and treatment I get every time! It does not matter what Dr. I see – they are all so knowledgeable! They explain everything to me and make me feel like «I matter» I can’t recommend them enough! They do what they love and love what they do! Beyond thankful for their service!

Walked in the staff greeted me with smiles and was helped right away. Checked in quickly, shiort wait for imaging, again staff was very pleasant, another short wait to be placed in the room to see the Dr. , the office was very clean and Dr.Liao was absolutely lovely and she answered all my questions and also listened to what I had to say. I would highly recommend!!

My son and I had a great experience with Jasmine. She made us feel comfortable and explained everything so I could fully understand what was needed and what had taken place. I’m glad we found a place for BOTH of us.

My visit was pleasant as always. I was helped by Jasmine who was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions regarding services and products. She was patient with me as i made last minute requests and purchases. I really appreciate her professionalism.

I love these doctors to death! The entire office is super customer oriented, and extremely professional. They have an ultra clean office with a welcoming presentation. I’ve been going there ever since they opened. Definitely recommend!

I always appreciate the warm greetings and recognition by name that the front staff (Sue) give me. As for the patient experience… I would highly recommend Li & Liao for all your vision needs. These Doctors are caring and very professional.

Dr Cooper is such a fantastic doctor, I have been seeing him for many years and he always knows just how to solve any eye issue I have experienced. The staff is kind and courteous and the office is well located and maintained! Best eye care in the San Diego area!

I am only putting two starts because the Front desk staff was great, 5 starts. Unfortunately the doctor himself was terrible. I feel like I was gas lit by him during the exam. He would ask me «1 or 2» I would tell him which number it was then he would tell me no that’s «2» or no that’s «1». He clearly got frustrated and angry with me. I listened very carefully to him in effort to make it an easy exam but this happened around 20 times, he literally was convincing me I was crazy. How hard is it to count and communicate effectively with a patient? I have never had this confusing of an experience getting an eye exam before. It makes me wonder if there are others he’s done this to. I would never go back to this doctor and i’ll be lucky if my prescription is accurate at all. Think twice before going to this doctor and if you’re a woman do not go alone. Edit: Changing to one star because Ariel is also extremely rude and gave me an attitude and raised her voice at me when i went to pick up my glasses because I was asking questions about them. 👎

I have always found the staff to be courteous and professional. I was a little disappointed after my exam to find out that the entire staff to help you with glasses was in a meeting for an hour. As with a lot of people, I couldn’t stay or come back- I needed to get to work. And now I have to find another time to come and look at glasses.If you are going to hold a meeting with your staff, that will take everybody off/out of servicing your clients then it should be done during a time when you’re not seeing patients. Being in healthcare myself this is only common sense.

Everyone was great! Dr cooper was professional and courteous. He thoroughly explained everything. From the moment I entered the facility to leaving, I was treated respectfully by every staff member I was in contact with during my visit. Thank you.

We both had our first appointment at Eyelux Optometry—the receptionist was helpful and efficient, the technician was patient with some special needs, and Dr. Cooper did a thorough and highly skilled evaluation of each of our vision issues— even offering to pursue more information and get back with a referral. Above and beyond expectations!

I saw Dr. Coleman today for an annual eye exam given my high myopia and astigmatism. Dr. Coleman has excellent bedside manner and is very friendly. She also is very thorough with the exam, and patiently answered all my questions and educated me about my eyes and how to take care of them as I age. I have also seen Dr. Cooper in the past and he was a similarly excellent eye doctor. I highly recommend EyeLux, and the front desk was friendly as well.

Great optometrist! Clean professional office with a good selection of frames. They do have the Optomap digital eye scan. It is inexpensive and I do recommend you get it. Can’t wait to get my Maui Jim Rx sunglasses. 100% recommend!

As new residents to Atascadero, my husband and I are so glad to have found Dr. Wells as our new Optometrist. He and his staff were very nice, helpful, and friendly. Dr. Wells took the time to review my history, answer my questions, and thoroughly explained what my next course of treatment should be with a referral to a cataract specialist.

Great staff, very helpful clarifying insurance coverage details. Dr Hile was incredibly competent and skilled, as was the office. Selection of frames and accessories was nice too, more than I needed.

My appt was very enjoyable. Everyone I dealt with was very happy and positively awesome. Very informative, understanding of your circumstances at why I was there. I will highly recommend to everyone I know who needs eye care. Thank you ladies for making my visit great.

Joanne is fantastic! I went to the Paso Robles office for my doctor’s appointment and eye glass prescription. When I went to pick up my glasses, they never checked to see if they were correct. I went back 3 times for their help to get my glasses to fit correctly. And the vision in my lenses were not correct. I decided to go to the Atascadero office in hope that I would get better service! Joanne was fantastic, listened to my concerns. She looked at my new glasses and lenses. Then proceeded to talk with her manager about it. Joanne corrected the problem that I was having. I found the Atascadero office to be much more organized, knowledgeable and very professional. Thank you Johanna, for all your help and I appreciate what you did for me. Emily

The people at Optometric Care Associates are very friendly and professional. Ms. Dr. V was very nice and also her assistant. I am happy with the frames that I picked out for my glasses. Can’t wait to try them out.

Came into Stanton Optical and was greeted with kindness by Benite. She checked me in , gave me eye exam, all the tests and answered all my questions with a smile on her face she even was there when I picked up my glasses. Will definitely come back again. Shes nice to her coworkers always helping them out and her managers rely on her because she quick to multitasking. Thank you Benite

This location is by far worst in all areas of customer care. First don’t go here if you are one of the last ones of the day. They shouldn’t schedule so late if they are not going to have patience for people who are using contacts for the first time. They be pushing you out. Second horrible thing is no communication between the actual store and customer service. Customer service line will tell you one thing and the store in person will just say it’s customer service fault. No one will take responsibility for errors and making us drive total of an hour for them to just say its not them. Overall terrible experience for my son and myself.

I drove 40 minutes for what was advertised as a **free eye exam** on your website. I also confirmed this over the phone and was told it would be free. However, when I arrived for my appointment, the receptionist informed me that the eye exam costs $79. I was then told that the exam is «free» only if you purchase glasses from your store — which are already priced high enough to offset the exam cost. That is not clearly communicated upfront. What’s even more disappointing is that I was told the customer service team «doesn’t always have full information» and that next time I should call the store directly. That is not acceptable. Customers should be given accurate and transparent information before they drive long distances for an appointment. This feels misleading and unprofessional. It’s unreasonable to expect someone who has driven 40 minutes to simply accept an unexpected $79 charge. I chose not to proceed, but this experience was extremely frustrating. Clear and honest communication would prevent situations like this. I choose VisionWorks for the free Eye Exam I got my glasses from them as well.

What an absolute scam and WASTE OF TIME. After seeing ad I called and price was confirmed @ $79.99 for exam +2 pairs of glasses. After the exam and long wait, and choosing the 2 frames (which I was told I could choose any of the frames on the racks), I was told cost would be $904.00. Shocked, I told the staffer I had come for $79.99 advertised and confirmed price. I was then told I could choose only certain frames in a small section on rack and that I could not get the lenses for my prescription, I could only get lenses for distance for that price. I spent over an hour. This place is an absolute scam. I decided to get up and leave. Why not just be clear up front? They wasted their time and efforts as well as mine. Terrible business model!!!

I want to start this by saying this… I am moving my review over from trust pilot because seems I can’t get any responses there. My original experience began March 9th I want to start this by saying this would totally be a 5 star review however. I called in to ask about pricing and things before I scheduled an appointment to come in. Little did I know it was a call center…. There is a promotion going on $289 for bio true it’s a 6 month supply plus exam. I have an astigmatism so I knew there would be additional fees due to that. The guy on the phone said no problem out the door it will be $355 beautiful I book my same day appointment and go in. I was greeted by Ty the manager she was a total doll! Then Kamari came over and got me started. Rachael came over and she proceeded to help me with the telehealth exam I believe it was. When we were going over questions and things I confirmed what the call center agent had told me about pricing. She told me that was incorrect came back and gave me what the pricing was. It was well over 100$ more than what I was told. At that point I was already in the chair and thus far the ladies were all so amazing. I wasn’t happy but proceeded. There was an issue with the results for the telehealth exam so they got me in with Dr Hsu who also simply was amazing I don’t think I have laughed so hard in a while. Over all in store my experience was so great all of the ladies and the Dr were so amazing. Still quite disappointed at the pricing as I would have shopped around more, I have extreme social anxiety with adhd so walking out was not an option for me. I was so excited I even told Rachael how their prices beat Costco pricing and I was amazed by that. My contacts came quickly loved that. I talked to Ty about my overall experience I wanted her to know how much I loved the girls and the Dr but also wanted her to have the feed back of the call center. She was so apologetic about it all told me to make sure to leave a review about the experience, took down my phone number and is planning on contacting me in a week or so to try to make it all right. I want to preface this with THE CALL CENTER IS THE PROBLEM misquoting callers who are looking to have services made is a HUGE problem. Trying to speak to anyone in store is a nightmare with the run around. I spoke with Ty again and she was amazing as per my original review. She is working hard to fix the mistakes the call center makes repeatedly.

Thank u the best service! my Son eyeglasses broken and damage the lock and bring it to your shop! you charge me free and all the staff are very helpful! Thank u and God bless

As a first-time LensCrafters customer without good vision insurance, Nicholas and Ilma exceeded my expectations! Nicholas was a true advocate, helping me get a fair, affordable price on my two pairs of prescription Ray-Ban sunglasses. Ilma was helpful and delightful as she served me and fitted both pairs very comfortably. My experience at this LensCrafters felt like white-glove concierge service from start to finish. Well done, Nicholas and Ilma. I’ll definitely be back because you’re well worth the hour long drive!

Very knowledgeable staff, Paige was patient and not pushy in any way. It was a pleasant transaction and she helped me find a perfect pair of glasses and worked with my frame size and prescription. I recommend being helped by Paige if you’re feeling uneasy about buying new glasses.

Ilma and crew were awesome! I bent my sunglasses so bad that they wouldn’t stay on my face and I thought I would have to trash them. I ran them into LensCrafters and Ilma repaired them to better than new! And it only took 3-4 minutes. The entire staff was fantastic! I highly recommend that you see Ilma at the Rosedale location for any eyeglass needs you may have!

I would like to start off by saying, or I rather say , state the fact that retail is hard and especially optics. I am sure it takes a lot of will power and dedication to deal with customers and patients. I worked for several years in retail, and it honestly put a sour taste in my soul. However thanks to your team at this location (rosedale) y’all managed to help me with a specific need. Today I was able to pick up the lenses that I needed for my mom’s glasses. I’d like to express my gratitude. They went above and beyond and these individuals were Nick, Celeste, and Britney! All your stores in this corporate business should take note of this review and it shows that people are not dollar signs. Finally, I appreciate that this experience has helped realize why I like to help people and not sell to people. Thank you

Called on a holiday and luckily they were open. Popped a lens and bent the frame. Walked on. Staff was welcoming and professional. Gave my glasses to Brittany and in no time she had everything restored. Relieved my panic as I was getting ready to leave on a vacation. Would totally follow up care with them. PS. Don’t sit on your glasses. lol.

Amazing they really took their time and made it knee what i was getting as far as Frances and lenses go, and the dr also took her time and ensured that my prescription was apt on and that I comprehended everything. It was a 10 out of 10 experience. Nick was amazing and super patient i feel like these will be that glasses I’ve ever received and the most useful expansion of how everything works. My hats off to sir and have a blessed day.

From my initial phone call, through the tech running tests and Ana helping with selecting frames I was treated with kindness and professionalism. Then there was Dr Warren Kennedy, the absolute greatest MD ever. Took all the time I needed for questions and answered all my concerns. 1000% will recommend Valley Optometric Group to all that will listen.

Excellent service! They really care about their patients, take their time with you, and listen to all of your concerns. I never felt rushed and truly appreciated the attention and care I received. Highly recommend!

My optometrist retired after 29 years of seeing my famliy. I had to make sure I found the right place after being taken care of all those years. After researching many offices here in the valley, I decided to go with Valley Optometric. I’m so glad I found the right office! The doctor and staff were so friendly and I loved the newest technology that’s being used. Thank you for making us feel welcomed. 😊

I had such a great experience at this eye doctor’s office! The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, answering all my questions with patience and a positive attitude. The doctor took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the exam. It’s not always easy to find such genuine customer care, but this team truly goes above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service and a positive experience!

Mom and I haven’t been to get our eyes checked in over 4 years, and didn’t like the last place we’d gone to. As New Patients, most of our local optometrists weren’t able to book us in until the end of next month. We needed to be seen earlier. Valley Optometric Group was able to see us both, same day, within the week. Everyone from the receptionist to the techs to the doctor himself was very friendly, supportive and professional. We felt very comfortable and welcome. Since we were both complicated prescriptions, it took a while to dial everything in correctly (And I really appreciate the attention to detail and the technological advances since my last exam!). I would highly recommend Valley Optometric to anyone.

I loved this place the minute I waked in. I was greeted with a friendly smile. The staff was great from the Dr. to the ladies that helped me with my glasses. I took a couple of cards and passed them out to my friends. Thank you for the great service you provided to me.

Very ckean and wwll appointed. Friendly and efficient staff who put the patient first. State of the art testing equipment and no pain or fuss involved. An overall pleasant experience. The doctor really listens and understands.

Great optometrist! The staff is wonderful, friendly and very helpful! Dr. Hamamoto is wonderful! She helped me understand what was going on with my eyes and made some great recommendations for contacts! I felt very comfortable and welcomed!

I’ve been going to Lifetime Optometric for several years, and I always have a great experience. The entire office staff is welcoming, friendly, and professional. I especially enjoy my visits with Staci Hamamoto, who is always kind, helpful, and makes every appointment a positive experience. They also have a wonderful selection of stylish frames to choose from. I highly recommend Lifetime Optometric to anyone looking for excellent eye care and outstanding customer service.

I really liked Dr Recalde she’s very personable and knowledgeable, as she is an expert for my particular condition. I was referred to her by my previous Dr who said she is the absolute best for treating dry eye. I feel confident, going forward that she will be able to further determine the best possible treatment for me.

«I had a wonderful experience at this practice. It’s a small, personable office that never makes you feel like you’re on a production line the way bigger practices can. My optometrist took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions without rushing. If you’re looking for a place that gives you real, individual attention rather than assembly-line care, I highly recommend this office.»

Thoroughly impressed. Went in as a new patient for my annual eye exam, and left with my annual already booked for next year. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and my exam was far more in depth than I’ve had in a while. I will definitely be recommending to anyone in search of an optometrist!

The staff and drs are attentive and always ready to answer questions or concerns I may have about my eye health. They have become like family. I have been a patient for more than yrs and I always leave happy. Thank you Drs and staff my eys appreciate your kindness and care.

I appreciate a doctor’s office that values my time and makes me feel they are happy to serve my needs. Dr. Hashimoto is knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. Five stars!

Myself, and I’m sure many others (saw 4 people try to enter the building when I was there for 10 minutes) would have appreciated a heads up that you guys are gonna be closed until September 2nd(had to call Stanton optical customer service line because no communication from the modesto store) sure it probably just happened this morning but I still have yet to receive any such automated courtesy message for heads up. Also one of the signs says for pickups: and lists Manteca and Turlock office phone number, neither of them have my order.

Justin made my experience at Stanton Optical incredibly easy and stress-free. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely took the time to make sure I found the right glasses without making me feel rushed or pressured. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Great customer service is hard to find these days, and Justin absolutely exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back because of him. Highly recommend asking for Justin if you visit Stanton Optical!

I came in on April 2, 2026 & the customer service was amazing!!! Very professional, friendly & knowledgeable staff who worked very hard to ensure all patients orders were ready. Excellent customer service & this was such a great experience!!! There was a great variety of frames to choose from & the staff ensured that we found the right frames that fit what we were looking for. Mark, Evet & Diane were such awesome staff members at Same Day & it was a great pleasure to do business with this business due to their expertise & attentiveness!!! This experience actually made my day & this was my very first time having an eye exam or ordering frames & i didnt realize how good of an experience it would be & i can honestly say it was due to the staff & the great variety of frames!!!

I would not recommend coming to this location. I went there in FEBRUARY for a contact lens/eye exam and my prescription for my contact lenses were never finalized as well as the trials being ordered incorrectly twice. I had to tell staff which trials to order because they weren’t even educated on the trials that would have my prescription, as well as just fitting me into any trials that were uncomfortable in order to try to accommodate. I had the Elk Grove manager promise me he was going to handle the situation and order me the trials I needed, this was in April and now’s it’s May and I have yet to hear back. I called two weeks ago to hear from this locations Manager so we can come to a solution and still never got a call back. Staff is friendly but overall service is lacking and they need a better system and better education on their products so people can walk out happy

I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. I’ve heard bad things but gave them the benefit of doubt because they were able to get me in quickly. First red flag was walking in and not being greeted or helped. I was quoted over the phone 105 dollars for a contact exam, glasses exam and one pair of glasss included but then it turned into 150 and then 250-300. I also had to wait 2.5 hr just to find out how much it would be and completely wasting my time. The workers were all very nice but I just don’t recommend this place. If you don’t have hours and hundreds of dollars to spend here, don’t go.
