Urban Optics in Santa Barbara is wonderful! I've been happily going there for years because the…read morestaff always engages with warmth and genuinely friendliness. What could have been a simple prescription update and glasses purchase always turns into such a happy and fun experience, thanks to the incredible team. A special shoutout to Anastasiia and Lianna, who went above and beyond to make me feel cute and fashionable in my new specs. Their positive energy is contagious, and you can tell they genuinely love helping people feel their best. The entire Urban Optics team works together well, creating a cheerful environment. I always look forward to my exams and leave very happy. Dr. Zucker is pretty cool too! My prescriptions are always the best. I've tried other places and came right back. Thank you all for your great service year after year!

Worst OD I've ever been to. ** important note: They are not an authorized Oakley dealer and one of…read morethe reason is their business practices. They will put their own lenses on the Oakley's you bring BUT they don't tell you that Oakley doesn't allow any other lenses but Oakley to be used in their frames, it nulls the warranty and no authorized Oakley reseller optometrist will touch them after those lenses are put in or they'll lose they're license to sell Oakley's. When they were confronted with this, their response was that they'll gladly put new lenses in if I came in and paid for a new eye exam and pay for new lenses. So you're telling me you messed up and you won't fix your screw up without collecting more money. Lastly, they also lie about what your insurance covers. My insurance covers the eye exam but they lied and charged hundreds for the first exam that my insurance actually would have fully covered! Santa Barbara was never a place I'd expect to be ripped off, for such a "prestigious" city. Can't wait for the city to get through with their unethical business practices! Zero stars should be an option for Yelp reviews.

I cannot say enough good things about this group of people. On my first visit, I felt like I was…read morethe only customer they had--everyone was so nice. Fortune made my appointment, and Julie helped me find their office on Donlon Street. Monique performed many of my eye tests using about six different devices, and Dr. Tabanfar conducted additional tests and recommended further testing later. Elaine assisted with my paperwork and helped me fit my glasses. I was never pressured to buy anything, and the whole experience was fantastic. I haven't personally met Fortune or Dr. Funnell yet, since they were off that day, so I have even more to look forward to when I pick up my new glasses next week. And they all have a sense of humor, too. Jeff Hodge / AKA... The Blind Driver and Bobby the Telepathic Guide Dog

Absolutely terrible experience I have ever had with an eye doctor…read more This is someone I had been seeing for years - including the older Dr. Funnell. However, my last visit in 2025 was my final visit. This doctor tried to diagnose me something very serious and recommended that I see a specialist that wasn't even qualified to diagnose the condition he suggested. He also stated what he said were facts about the illness, which were incorrect. Needless to say, he scared me to such an extent...that I did go to a specialist. I didn't have the condition. The handling of it was callous and impersonal. I have moved on to another eye doctor and will never visit this one again.
