I had been putting off getting 2 pairs of Ray Bans fixed. The time. The expense. In my mind, I created this overwhelming process, so much so, I just lived without these otherwise awesome glasses for over a year. Then Lisa fixed me. Having an 'appointment time' was very welcomed with my schedule. Lisa quickly sized up the problem, put together a plan and within a few minutes, my previously 'overwhelming processes ' was completed, all the while we joked about early '80's pop culture. Then she wouldn't take money from me! I was completely taken aback by the whole experience, and I found myself looking for ways to pay it forward after leaving her shop. But know, it all started with Lisa. I look forward to seeing Lisa again then next time I need a new pair of glasses! Lisa is the change we all want to see in the world. read more

My husband's glasses lost a nose piece so we tried Pismo Beach Optix. The technician took time to find the right fit and made sure his glasses fit properly. The tech did a great job and didn't even charge us for her time. read more

Lisa has been helping with my glasses for several years. Always a positive upbeat experience. She gives her take on which frames (when I'm dithering) will look and WORK best for my needs. Her in-depth knowledge of frames and Rx positioning (having been a company rep for years) always gets me into those that fit so well they rarely need additional adjusting beyond the initial fitting. Very accommodating even during covid; her attention to detail is extraordinary. Hours by appointment give the customer a total service experience. read more

If ever in need of eye glasses or sunglasses give Lisa a call. Even during COVID she met with Sean and I. She was able to get my sunglasses sent off for new lens saving me from having to pair another pair. While we were there Sean found a pair of sunglasses he loved. Great service and knowledgeable. Give Lisa a call. read more

How lucky I was to find Lisa at Piso Beach Optix. I had a broken arm on my Maui Jim sunglasses that were bought years ago in a different city. Local opticians that once serviced these told me they no longer do. I looked up Maui Jim merchants and there she was. One repair turned into the purchase of another backup pair in a fast, effective, friendly few appointments. Lisa is first-class knowledge and service with a few extras added in. So glass to have her nearby! read more

I was looking to update my frame and prescription because i had the same glasses and prescription for about 5 years. I called Pismo Beach Optix and spoke to a lovely Lisa. We scheduled my appointment for the next day. I came in (we both had our masks on because of covid of course) and Lisa showed me around her store. Lisa is very knowledgeable of glasses and sunglasses and knows which look best depending on the person that is trying them on. After trying a couple of different styles we ended up going with the Neubau Oskar glasses! They have a more classic look, a lighter frame and i just love the way the look on me haha. After that Lisa did my exam which was an absolute breeze. She asked about my job and what type of work i do. I told Lisa i do a lot of computer work so i felt that my eyes were a bit more sensitive to light. Lisa suggested that i go with a special coating called recharge by Hoya which reflects blue light! We also went with self tinting glasses because i always wanted a pair of prescription sunglasses and this option would be the best of both worlds. before leaving she cleaned and polished my lenses on my old glasses which i could not believe Thank you again Lisa. 2 days later she called me and told me my glasses were ready for pickup. So i went in and tried them on. OMG it was like going from SD to HD. Lisa adjusted my glasses to fit my head properly and then we walked outside. I could see so much further than before and the colors seem more vibrant! I honestly just stood outside looking up and down the street amazed at what i could see and with the auto tint the sun was less straining on my eyes. 2 weeks later my eyes are fully adjusted to my new lenses and i do actually notice a positive difference being on my computer all day. I would absolutely recommended Pismo Beach Optix and you should definitely give Lisa a call and schedule your next appointment today! Thank you Pismo Beach Optix for restoring my sight! read more

Great selection friendly staff more than once I stop in for a screw repair or adjustment and was always greeted by a enthusiastic optician who was always willing to help so today I purchased my first progressive lenses and I love them the frame we choose makes me look young and handsome Thank you read more

I highly recommend Pismo Beach Optix--knowledgeable and fantastic service. I'd been looking for a pair of photochromic sunglasses that provided protection from wind, dust, and pollen when I drive my roadster. I found a few online, but wanted to try them on to make sure they fit well and provided good peripheral vision. My wife and I were in Atascadero for a weekend vacation, and I thought I'd try to find someplace to find sunglasses that would work. I came across Pismo Beach Optix, and the positive reviews here. We were looking for an excuse to drive down the coast anyway, so I figured it was worth a shot. Right away I could tell this would be a great experience. The owner Lisa listened to what I wanted and quickly helped me narrow down choices. I found a pair of Wiley X glasses I liked, but they did not have photochromic lenses. Not a problem--Lisa would order them and ship them to me. Next week I talked to Lisa and she said that Wiley X no longer carried photochromic lenses for that style--not a problem, as she could just order prescription lenses without the prescription! A few days later and I have my new sunglasses. I couldn't be happier. Oh, and my wife likes her new Maui Jims, too! read more

I love this place. This store has a great selection of glasses for both sunglasses and normal everyday glasses. I usually have a difficult time picking glasses and Lisa was very helpful in helping pick a pair that not only looked good but fit perfect. I highly suggest going here for glasses. The service was great and the selection is impressive. read more

I wanted to purchase a good pair of prescription sunglasses and decided to check out what Pismo Beach Optix had on offer. Lisa was very helpful, took time to show me a lot of options and (quite easily - they're great!) convinced me to invest in a pair of Maui Jims. Lisa then went above and beyond when I broke part of the hinge on the Jims ... Lisa took on the repair without cost, even though she didn't have the part to hand. All in all - Lisa and Pismo Beach Optix has been a great experience and I would recommend their services very happily. Thanks Lisa and team! read more

My old Ray-Bans had lost a screw on the second day of our vacation stay, so when we passed by this store, I thought I might check it out for a replacement. Even though it wasn't planned, my wife found an awesome pair of Burberrys. Lisa gave me a good deal on a Clubmaster pair and threw in a hardcase box, not one of those flimsy pouches you usually get. On our way out, I told her about what happened to my old pair and she immediately offered to fix them for me. She wanted nothing for it, and even offered me a pouch, which I respectfully declined, since she had been so generous already, not just with the sunglasses, but also interacting with our two little kids, who can be a bit lively and demanding. We had a wonderful shopping experience, and highly recommend checking this place out for a pair of cool shades. read more

Stopped in there while we were passing through town with my sunglasses needing some much needed TLC. They took care of me in minutes and my sunglasses look like new! All of this and didn't charge me a penny! Such wonderful customer service, will definitely be back!!! read more

Even though I ultimately did not wind up buying my sunglasses at PBO, I was very impressed with how helpful Lisa (the owner) was with trying to help me get the right pair of sunglasses for my needs. I would gladly go back there again as I felt Lisa took the time to understand my needs and did her best to try to help me. Highly recommend! read more

I was going to leave this review as a "regular buying customer", but realized that my story says even more of the kind of person Lisa (and her husband) is.. I was in town for the annual Clam Festival with my girlfriends visiting from the Bay Area, we participated in the Wine Walk (woo hoo!) and were waiting patiently at the end for a raffle drawing for fun prizes. My name was pulled for tickets to the Jazz Jubilee in Pismo, which is for the following (next) weekend. Super cool but not really a prize for me, considering Im not a local and definitely wouldn't be making the 3.5 hour trek for the day the following weekend. Enter Lisa, owner of Pismo Beach Optix, who overheard me answer "Um, probably not" when the people who were handing me my prize asked if I would get use out of it.. Lisa said if I wanted to trade the tickets with her, she would bring me to her shop to pick out sunglasses I like. Wow! Hell yea! She actually had donated $400+ Jimmy Choo sunglasses to the cause that were raffled off just before I won my prize so super score! I met up with her the next morning, and she was so welcoming, funny, and knowledgeable! When I think about it, she was doing this for me as a visitor in her town, not because she needed the tickets I was trading for (she owns her business, she is on the Chamber of Commerce), and not because I was a paying customer, just as an awesome person helpin a girl out. She brought me a ton of glasses to pick out, and I loved them all! She had such a great selection and she really helped explain the different between all of the glasses, face shape, nose bridge, vision needs, etc. I narrowed it down to Marc Jacobs and Von Zipper, and after texting a picture to my (hungover) girlfriends back at the condo, and getting an opinion from her husband, I decided to go with the Von Zipper. I LOVE THEM! Sturdy, do their sun blockin job and sooooo cute! She couldve stopped there, but no, she gave me a bag for them to live in, a little spray bottle to clean them with, a cloth for wiping them, ANOTHER bag for my cheapo sunglasses that I walked in with AND TIGHTENED THE SCREWS ON MY CHEAPOS SO THEY FIT BETTER. You know how everybody says flippant comments about how customer service ain't what it used to be? You could NEVER say that about this woman and her business. Last but not least, she sees me with my girlfriends walking through the festival later in the day and hoots and hollers at me while passing by, way to make me blush and feel like a little celebrity. Ok so short story long but being back home and thinking about my awesome weekend in PB and super cool experience at Pismo Beach Optix just leaves me giddy and grateful. Thanks for everything, Lisa, and next time Im in town I will be visiting! read more

Cindy Leger (owner) is truly what small business's are about. She is highly knowledgeable of her product and the eye wear business. She is extremely helpful and honest when the customer is apprehensive when choosing the "right" pair of glasses. She truly cares about her clients. read more

Lisa was fantastic. Personal service is all but a thing of the past these days BUT it is alive and well here. I not only left with a fantastic pair of glasses but learned more about glasses than I knew existed and all in a super fun, totally laid back and professional shop. read more

Lisa fixed my broken glasses during the virus distancing very safely and so professionally I am writing the first review ever! Her friendliness and customer service will bring me back for new glasses. She deserves a chance to show off here skills to you. read more

We went into Pismo Beach Optix to see if my sunglasses could be fixed. Lisa greeted us with her amazing smile. She ended up fixing my glasses at no charge and we didn't buy them at her store. Thank you, Lisa for your service and sunny personality! I highly recommend anyone living in this area go see Lisa for all your eyeglasses and sunglasses. We will definitely go shop there whenever in the area!!!! read more

The owner, Lisa, is the best! She is always there to help from needing a minor adjustment to your glasses or excellent suggestions and help in buying a new pair. I highly recommend her and her business! Prices may be a little more than you pay at a "franchise" business but well worth it for the personal attention and help. read more

Cindy is amazing! She treated me like family. I have very limited vision and she worked with me till I got exactly the pair of glasses I needed. I'm not easy to please but she never gave up. I will definitely get all my glasses there from now on. Thank you Cindy. read more

I wish I could give this place 10 stars! My husband won a free pair of sunglasses at the Clam Festival, and, of course, I took it off him. I was a little unsure of what we actually won. Was it a particular pair of sunglasses, or my choice? A couple of weeks after I won, in I went. Lisa, the owner, was delighted to see my winning certificate. She was helping another customer, but told me she would be with me shortly. Soon, I got involved with the other customer's eyeglass decision, because that is the sort of friendly environment Lisa created. Later the other customer stuck around to give me advice. It was really fun. I do not like anything too blingy, and she respected that. She found a great pair for me, but then I mentioned that I injured my eye a few years ago, and now it is very sensitive to light, so she started all over again to get me the best protection. Usually, I am the type of person who just grabs a pair of sunglasses at Costco, but now I see the merits for going to a place like this and getting a high quality pair of glasses. Of course, all future sunglass purchases will be made at Pismo Beach Optix, because it is a wonderful store! Thank you again for the great sunglasses, Lisa and for being such a great part of the community! read more

Pismo Beach Optix has it all! A vast variety of corrective and sun glasses. Wether you are looking for artistic or functional Cyndi has it or will get it! She offers objective opinions and is genuinely concerned with your satisfaction. I recommend Pismo Beach Optix to all friends, and family! read more

Went into Pismo Beach Optix to browse some prescription glasses. It's my first time ever needing prescription glasses so I was a bit lost to say the least, not only that I have no fashion sense at all! The owner Lisa was super friendly. I had told her it's my first time looking for glasses, and she was sooooooo helpful, taught me a lot about the prescription basics! She is welcoming and unbelievably helpful. With me not knowing what style would fit my face, she gathered a bunch of options for me, had me try them and I found my perfect pair! Would recommend 100%. Full circle service, no pressure attitude. I left happy. I will stop by again to say hi and let her know just how helpful she was! read more

I went in this morning because I sat on my glasses last night at work and popped the lense and bent the frames! I was frantic I wasnt going to be able to see at work! She was AMAZING!! Fixed my glasses in minutes and was so sweet! Didn't charge me a thing. I would definitely come back! Saved me from being blind at work!!!!! read more

Went in as I needed a screw for my sunglasses and Lori was more than happy to help me. AND when I asked her who much she said, "just a smile". read more

Cindy is amazing! She helped me pick frames based on my face shape since I had no idea where to start. She explained the pros and cons of transitions too. Excellent service! read more
