I went to For Eyes if they can fix my glasses, the lens popped out of the frame, Amy not only put the lens back, but also fixed the nose pieces which was broken, and no charge. Very friendly. I was truly impressed. read more

I had a super positive experience at For Eyes. Chris helped me adjust my glasses for free and gave me some really good advice. would definitely recommend people to come here read more

I had a good first experience here, and my new distance and reading glasses seem just right. I had neglected an eye exam for too long, and Doctor Lam said that my left eye has changed a lot (much worse astigmatism), and he asked if I had been having headaches (which I had). I've now been wearing both pairs of glasses for over two weeks, and it's clear that they have fixed the eye strain that I was having. I see that some reviewers have complained about long waits to see the doctor, and in fact I didn't see the email and text messages that they sent me nearly an hour before my appointment saying that the doctor was running behind, suggesting that I come a half hour later. But I would prefer that the doctor spend however much time turns out to be needed for each client, rather than rush people out the door to stay on time. And it was not a problem because the technicians in the front area worked with me in the meantime on lens and frame choices. The technician Chris was especially helpful at answering my many questions. It took 13 days after the exam and my purchase for both sets of new frames and lenses to arrive, but they were certainly worth the wait. read more

I decided to write a review after the doctor couldn't keep our appointment for the second time. The first time I made back to back appointments for my two kids. After my daughter was done, they decided to take another customer ahead of my son who had an appointment and was waiting the entire time. We waited an additional 20 minutes and left. One year later, we made the mistake of giving this place a second chance and made a new appointment. This time they reached out to us at the last minute to say the doctor is running late. Unfortunately, we already arrived when we received the message. Parking and traffic in Berkeley suck. It was a huge waste of our time. read more

No go for me, dr took things very personal when I said I was dissatisfied with the service . Honestly could've been handled more professionally. No thank you and highly don't recommend read more

Mikaela (and Michael) were great! Fantastic service, very professional - would absolutely recommend.

Booked an appointment for 1230pm, and left work to come get an eye exam during my lunch break. Arrived on time, and was told the doctor was a little behind but would see me soon. After half an hour, I checked in, and they told me just a little longer. After forty five minutes, same story. It wasn't until 130PM until the doctor finally saw me. read more

Very good eye exam and customer service. Dr. Lam was very thorough in the eye exam. The staff were also really helpful and friendly.

This could possibly be the worst small business experience I've had. Looking through the reviews I am not alone. The most serious is getting eye exams, and prescriptions that are incorrect. This is very serious, and again I am not alone. There are issues with VSP and how they misrepresent it--they are out of network. There are other others who have this problem. There's also difficulty in customer service and consistency. This business needs to take a cold hard look at what they are doing to their customers and address it. I want to see small businesses successful but clearly they have some problems. They are very defensive and they gaslight. They don't even understand their own patterns. They need help. I hope they get it. These are our eyes. This is a no joke situation. read more

Hi, was walking by and dropped in with sunglasses that lost a screw in the hinge. Chris Lemmey greeted me as I walked in, made the repair at no charge-I just waited minutes. Check out For Eyes-great customer service! Loretta read more

Wrong prescription. I had to get a new rx and get my eyeglasses redone. do not recommend

cheap glasses but their appointment system is a disaster. 4:30 appt. they call me at 3 to verify/ i show up at 420. they say they'll check me in but everyone is very busy and no one helps me until 430. then 2 people went in ahead of me. 5pm and im still waiting and another person comes in saying they have a 5pm appt but the desk says 530... they're fine if you have a Rx already but i wouldnt get an exam here. read more

Don't go here if you want your time respected they don't care about your time appointments they don't respect that your late they wont help you but if you get there on time for your appointment they can have you waiting a whole hour an 1/2 and they wont do anything but apologize its insane !!! read more

For Eyes is the worst possible business. Please do not bother with them. My son's glass were sent to the lab more than a month ago. All I got was a fuzzy apology from staff and useless excuses. I still have not received the glasses to date. Worst possible business and I will pursue a case against them. read more

my nose pad came off, so i came in, and Christ replace both pads so they can be matched. Free of charge. Thank you very much.

I had an appointment at 3:30 I got there at 3, but was not seen until 4:45... they told me when I got there he's running late by 15 mins. If it was going to be over an hour I could've gone home or utilized my time. I was very upset they said due to weather the doctor is running late.. I didn't really understand because it was only raining outside and I don't think that calls for your schedule to be an hour delayed. All in all I wish they just communicated their schedule to me... The person that assisted with my glasses purchase was wonderful! read more

Thank you for fixing my glasses! Great service and appreciate you Amy they were very kind and welcome at this location, highly recommend!

Very thorough and explains very well what he's testing or doing to your eyes. Appt was 75 min late, otherwise would be 5 stars.

I walked in looking for an oversized case for my sunglasses. A young woman came right to help me. While other shops told me they didn't have oversized cases and generally didnt seem eager to help, she certainly was. Tried a few cases then found the right one. And didnt charge me a cent for it. Nice folks! read more

Chris helped us negotiate the glasses and lenses and films, etc. He was really smart and patient and we appreciated him. But despite somebody telling us on the phone that we could probably get a really good deal or better with them even though they were not in network with our eyeglass benefit, the price ended up being REALLY expensive for the multiple glasses ordered. Would never recommend them in this situation if you have an eyeglass benefits with some company and it is out of network with FOR EYES until you verify the bottom line beforehand for any given frame and lens. We feel taken advantage of. We were pressed for time and went along with the deal, but it was a really bad deal compared to working with Opticians who were in network. On the other hand, if you want to go in and get lenses for frames that you already have they are a wonderful bargain. read more

Very helpful, will do small repairs for free. Chris was super helpful and fast. Conveniently located right near BART.

My mom and I went in because we had frames that needed to be adjusted. We were assisted immediately by Chris and given great customer service! He took the time and made the effort to mak sure that our frames fit perfectly to our liking. He even replaced the nosepads on one of our frames and didn't charge us for any of the adjustments. We look forward to making For Eyes our primary provider for frames and eye exams because we're so convinced by their assistance and patience. Also noticed that they have a wide selection of frames with good sales going on and are located conveniently in Shattuck with many restaurants nearby. Definitely a place to consider and check out for your optometric needs! read more

Amy has been helping me and my family for more years than I can remember. She is the main reason we go there. The shop seems better now. I like that place. read more

Went in without a plan. CHRIS helped me out for well over an hour, was so kind the whole time, so patient when i kept flip flopping on decisions, gave me honest and helpful advice, and I definitely trusted that they were giving me a great deal :) read more

Excellent exam, I had a double vision problem that Dr Lam was able to correct with the right lens. Wonderful customer service for glasses fitting, a good range of name brand glasses, will come back again. read more

I had to get a screw replacement to fix my glasses. Chris had me fixed and ready to go in about 5 minutes. No charge. He was great.

I came here for a second time recently and I wasn't in his chair for more than 15 minutes he rushed my whole appointment and told me I had perfect eyes which is false I've been wearing glasses my WHOLE entire life. I use to recommend this place after my first visit but after the second appointment I would tell everyone to NEVER GO HERE EVER IN THEIR LIFE 0 stars is what they deserve. read more

Great. Very thorough and pleasant. Told me it would be two weeks or more but ready in less than a week!

Chris adjusted my glasses for free and did a great job. My glasses frame was pinching the sides of my head and leaving red marks. I was a bit worried since Flexon nose bridges are notoriously easy to break if they're bent outward. Chris widened the frame then brought it in behind the ear so that it does not slip, the whole process took about 5 minutes and there was no damage. read more

Great eye exam with Dr. Lam, no nonsense and runaround unlike the university clinic, and the staff are all unusually friendly and accommodating. Special thank you to Amy! :) Also, you'll save money coming here vs other places if you pay mostly out of pocket which I do. Highly recommended. read more

The staff is helpful without being pushy. They are knowledgeable about vision problems and concerns as well as about frames for various needs. The store is well stocked with multiple choices. Despite being on a busy street, the atmosphere inside is quiet and soothing. read more

Hi, I have gone here first for 20 years and consistently had pleasant and effective service. Great staff; a pleasure to interact with them. Expert help: from exams, to contact lens needs to the shift to glasses. Grateful; also super accessible. read more

Quick and Helpful with a good price even without insurance. Kaiser wanted to charge me 180 even with partial coverage! Will definitely be coming back to For Eyes. read more

I'm back again in this fabulous place and this time with my wife as the customer. As usual the whole crew is flawless with their service. Shout out to my man Rino who I say as knowledgeable as ever.Top notch service .My wife is more than satisfied with her prescription glasses she's happy. Thank you once again For Eyes for the wonderful experience.I already recommend this to people I know. If you need a good place for your eye glass needs this is the place. read more

Efficient eye exam, was able to quickly determine my last prescription was a little off. Very easy to make an appointment in person with and took UC Berkeley insurance. Wasn't too expensive. Seemingly standard glasses selection. Recommend. read more

Quick and easy! Exactly what I was looking for in my eye exam. It only took about 30 minutes for the whole procedure.

Most unhelpful office. Long wait even though I had appointment. Sign barely visible. When contact lense place called for verification they wouldn't say the colored version of same brand was current. Most aggravating optic experience. Will NEVER go back. read more

came in to adjust sun glasses that I did not buy from them and yet they still showed lots of love. I would recommended this for place for anyone. They have a friendly and knowledgable staff. I hate walking into a space and feeling invisible. They staff makes sure you are seen and heard. I really appreciate this place. I will definitely come back with my family. read more

Great customer service! Michael repaired my son's glasses as well as mine today. Fast, friendly service!

Does not accept VSP insurance even though their website says it does. Really frustrating when you make time out of your day and it turns out that you need to go to a different doc in order to avoid getting slapped with out of network charges. For Eyes - update your website. This is a massive waste of people's time. read more
