    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!

    Not only was that the most expensive annual eye exam I've ever had in my life ($433.39), but it…read morefelt like sitting through a 2-hour sales pitch. Like many others, I was very disappointed at how hard they upsell at every turn, and at being told that my insurance would COVER the additional fees (or at least the majority) only to sit down at check out (which was the longest checkout in history--it was as if the staff member had never used a tablet before) and be told that they did not accept my insurance! What? Moreover, I was told I have chronic dry eyes (which no other eye doctor has EVER diagnosed me with) and was then hard pushed a $4K procedure they apparently specialize in. When I contacted the office with my questions about the procedure (namely, after research, it seems I'm NOT a candidate, or should at least start first with the low hanging fruit of Omega 3s, hot compresses, etc.), I was told that I needed ever MORE expensive testing. Lastly, the staff left much to be desired--the staff member that did my initial eye exam pressed so hard on my eyeball that I yelped in pain; the other staff member checking me out took 45 minutes to generate a bill, etc. As a followup, they sent me an Rx for Progressive Lenses (which they also tried to hard sell me during the exam) even though I don't wear Progressive Lenses! Reading many of the other 1-3 star reviews, it seems this is all par for the course. I'm sure they'll post a charming refutation of this for the "optics" (pun intended), but given my experience (and that of my fiance who also felt he'd sat through a 2-hour sales pitch during his exam), I will not be back.

    By far the most enjoyable experience I've ever had at an optometrist. The staff and doctor made…read moreeverything from scheduling to picking up glasses a super enjoyable experience. The office is very clean and the doctor went above and beyond by recommending supplements that would support eye health and possibly reduce migraines. They delivered pleasant, convenient, and high-quality care, I'm glad they're here in Goleta.

    Well, went in for a much needed eye exam. I was able to book probably the last available slot in…read morethe day. As soon as I got there the girl had the questionnaire ready to be filled up. Which I did. And right away I was walked into exam room. The optometrist started the exam and asked some questions, since I hadn't had an exam since I had my lasik surgery years ago, he suggested to get the extra check ups, eye pressure... but he didn't push he just suggested and I did decide to do it. Great customer service, knowledgeable. We tried different contact lenses until the third pair was tried, and that was the best one. Very patient and not rushing the exam, answered questions I had. And he gave me prescriptions for both eyeglasses and contacts, without me having to ask or him pushing me to buy glasses there. Will definitely use this as my future exam place!!
