Great people and a very thorough exam…read more Eye doctors I've seen in Holland left me waiting in the exam room then raced in and raced out again. Dr. Annis took his time and made sure any questions I had were answered. I have no reason to go anywhere else.

Dr. Annis is truly a good optometrist. However, if you want frames and lenses, the "optician" isn't…read morethe best - if she really is one. She's no expert on how to assess what frames are best for you and the selection is limited. If they don't have the color you want, she shows you what they can order from her I-pad. They had a style that I thought I wanted. I was wrong on that. Also, the only color (of 3) available on the rack had really dark frames - they were navy. Later, I found out that all three of the colors available had really dark frames. I couldn't tell by looking at a partial view on her I-pad. Furthermore, she informed me that the plastic frames I liked would fit my large (broken from falling on it in childhood) or wide bridge. Well, they didn't. My bad, had I known. I found plastic frames at Walmart that actually DID fit my wide bridge. Either way, I was wrong about the plastic - I had metal for YEARS; put off getting new glasses far too long, and like a babe in the woods I didn't really know what would work. I have them and realized eye pads would be better. However, when I went back and found the exact frames that I wanted (again, not the color I wanted - I had to see the color I wanted on the little I-pad in a close-up partial view) I was quite pleased; I picked these out myself, ignoring her selections. The color they did have in stock was a metal frame and vivid enough for me to know that any color, shape, and size would be fine in that frame and also much more comfortable. I told her I was sure on those (since I picked them out myself, knowing this second time how much her "expertise" was lacking). Then, she told me, "fine, but you'll have to wait until this color frame arrives here before WE can put lenses into them." I told her that I was sure that they would work and to go ahead with the lenses. She refused and said, "Oh, no" I'd have to see the color first and then wait another week (two weeks total). After all, it was my fault that the color wasn't there (supposed to be some rose swirl color - no matter - all 3 colors had the same DARK frames) and that they were the wrong size for my wide nose. Of course, she reminded me that I was the one who wanted plastic frames. OK, sure, I thought I did and I was wrong. Who is he "expert" here? For the $$ I was laying down, I'd expect an expert. Finally, knowing how inexperienced she truly was, I just told them to give me a refund. I found out that the whole package was over $400. Wow, I'm glad I got the refund! She NEVER did quote any prices to me on any of the available frames. A month later, I still don't have new frames as I have to go out of town to find reasonably priced ones; my time is limited. The doctor is great - a thorough exam was done and i was happy with that, for sure. He also sent me a letter of apology. However, if he wants to sell glasses, he needs to pay up for a real optometrist who knows how to advise a client in the right manner. She was young, curt and pretty clueless and I'm being nice. Also, in order to choose from a variety of frames, They should have better pictures available for colors. The ones I chose ALL had frames that apparently, looked black, aside from the one that they had on display - the sides were right but I couldn't tell by looking at the I-Pad (guess I mentioned that before). Someday, I'll get to "Eyeglass World."

My family has frequented Harbor View Eye Care for over 15 years for eye exams, contacts, glasses,…read moreand high-end Maui Jim sunglasses. Upon my recent visit to my hometown, Dr. Meengs gave me an 8:30 am, fast exam, fitted me for contacts, and explained everything in a friendly manner (5 Stars to that man, he is awesome!) But then I went to the front desk and the customer service took a verticle nosedive into Hell. An older man by the name of Brian took my paperwork. After Meengs returned to his office, Brian gestured toward a display and shortly said, "You need glasses. Pick something." I finished about, found some frames, and asked for lenses slightly weaker than my full-power prescription because I've struggled with migraines in the past. Brian simply said, "No." I pointed out that Meengs had agreed to do so. But Brain looked at my paperwork and said, "Only for your contacts. And I wouldn't have agreed to that. You should be wearing your full prescription." At this point, I thought I was speaking to a senior optometrist. After all, he had just voiced disagreement with Meengs' prescription. Sensing I would get nowhere, I asked for my written prescription so I could excuse myself. He gave me a paper for full strength glasses, which I hadn't even tried. Then he refused to give me a paper for the weaker contacts that I was actually wearing at that moment! Flabbergasted, I left, feeling as though I had wasted my time and money. Over the next week, Brian called me several times. He kept telling me, I needed to pay for glasses so that he could order them. Consistently, I asked for the slightly weaker lenses, the same strength as my contacts. Repeatedly, he dismissed anything I had to say and stubbornly told me, "No," and, "That's not legal," and "I won't change your prescription." Given how forceful and finite he spoke, I began to think that perhaps he was a new owner... I did not want to deal with such a pushy and unfriendly individual. Except he had sent in my Maui Jims to be fixed; I had to go back to pick them up! On the morning of my flight, I went to get my sunglasses. Although I approached him as friendly as possible, Brian was short with me. He overcharged me for the service of sending in my sunglasses. I asked for an itemized receipt, which he spent 5 minutes doctoring. I did not want to go around with him over $50. Except this time, my retired businessman-father was with me and he wasn't having it. Brian refused to go over the receipt. He REFUSED to give my father a PEN, (seriously!) He told us, "[we] should just leave," because he did not care what we had to say about how he treats his customers, "[he] was there to make money," and we weren't buying contacts or glasses. In the end, I went elsewhere to an ophthalmologist, and without issue, got what I needed. Both the ophthalmologist and an optometrist agreed, there is nothing illegal, nor liable, about selling weaker lens than a prescription, one simply won't have the best vision possible. 20/15 vision isn't worth migraines, not even 20/20 imo. So what's the best part of this customer's nightmare??? Brian is an OFFICE MANAGER!!! This stubborn, inhospitable man who voiced disagreement over my exam and my prescription is NOT an optometrist! Harbor View Eye Care is a nice store with a great location and an awesome optometrist, (Meengs.) BUT the 'non-owner office manager' is a grade-A.rrogant sob who has no business calling the shots on anyone's prescription, let along giving any type of medical advice. He should have referred to the DOCTOR who was literally down the hall or asked for additional paperwork if he felt anyway liable for filling a customer's request. Get this powertrip away from people or at least some hospitality classes!

I am still using my old glasses which I can see better with rather than the new prescription from West Coast. I just went to my Dr. at the eye clinic and had them check to see if my new glasses were what they prescribed last year. They said they were a little off from what they prescribed. I got my new glasses in December 2025 so it is a little late to have them fix them again.

When I went for my first visit at shoreline vision I was treated as if I was an inconvenience to them. I never want to feel the way they made me feel ever again. The front desk women were rude and made snarky comments about me. The moment I left I told myself I would never return to their office for my eye care. I have had contacts and glasses for 19 years and this is by far the worst service I have ever received. 11/10 would not recommend! Even in my few times after my appointment they have been hard to work with over the phone. Later I went online to order my contacts my address was wrong on my billing and delivery.

And they seem fun…read more I joked around with them, and appreciated their sense of humor, etc. I am happy with my glasses, even though I could have spent less online. I feel strongly that you should support some local businesses. But I can't give them a 4 or 5 star, unfortunately. My glasses took one month to arrive, which wouldn't really be a problem (I understand there are some issues with supply chain). I wouldn't even mind that they took four weeks, but the communication all the way through the process was not good. I called three times the week I was told my glasses were supposed to arrive and never heard back. What sort of professional office never returns your call? Looking back on it, I actually had to go to their office to schedule an appointment because I called to be their customer and never heard back for more than two weeks. I was told consistently "You are on my list to call." I've had people I dated and ghosted me who were better at communication. After they told me glasses would arrive in two weeks, and three weeks and four weeks came and they didn't respond to messages, I finally drove to the office and had to summon them to the door (it was 4 PM on one of the three days their offices are open). If you are reducing the days you are open due to COVID (which was what they told me), I can understand that. But you'd think that you would bend over backwards to make sure you service customers the three days you're open. I shouldn't have to call repeatedly to get information about my glasses. I called three times, left a message, and never heard back. I fully believe the last time I called they simply didn't answer my call. That's not professional. My glasses were there when I stopped by. So, the lesson I learned - be a squeaky wheel and you'll get some attention from these folks. I was fitted and paid. No apologies. Nothing like "Sorry we haven't gotten back to you, etc." You'll see another review here on Yelp from someone who also never got calls back. It got to the point where I actually wondered if maybe they were going out of business, and I would be out the money I deposited, which was half my total bill. If they were as efficient in communication as they were in taking my money, they would be the best optometrist in the world. Instead, they are simply average, albeit with great personalities. I liked the people in the office, but I shouldn't have to push them to communicate with me. Here's my feeling: they don't want to really grow the business much any more, and both the doctor and office manager are fine with that. So this business is basically run as a hobby. Wish I could give a better review. I guess if you are ok with bad communication, go with them, but be patient.
