Does excellent work and is very personable! Shop is very accessible and the owner is very happy to help find what you need.

Your archetypical "small, friendly, local business" run by super sweet couple Janelle and Sal. I came in because I got a pair of glasses secondhand, but they were missing a screw. After a few minutes of digging in the parts bin, they found me one that worked, and installed it too, no charge! Thanks Sal and Janelle, you two rock. read more

Visited Saratoga Eyes yesterday. Sal couldn't have been nicer, repairing my safety glasses for me while I waited. I'll be back!

Came in to have my daughters glasses repaired because she was missing some screws, the gentleman was kind enough to fix the glasses and didn't charge us anything. Very kind and thoughtful person working at the shop. Would definitely recommend and come here again. read more

I would highly recommend this place! My mom brought me very expansive frame from Europe. I have tried 5(!) places to install lenses and all refused. The frame was too complicated for them, finally, I was recommended Saratoga eyes, and now I am super happy with my new stylish glasses! I am also very happy with fixing my old frame! Now it like new! read more

They did an excellent job putting new lenses in my glasses - my favorite sunglasses are brand new!

The optometrist was okay, but we felt she did not explain things very clearly during the initial visit. When we went back to pick up the glasses, my 6 year old - the patient - was eyeing the small candy bars they have on a tray. I asked if he could grab one. She hesitated and then said "Just one, because he already had one when during the original visit". Wow, how cheap! That was a one dollar piece of candy. And this was after she had just billed my insurance a few hundred bucks for our visit. Cannot get over the cheapness. read more

I am so impressed with Sal- owner of Saratoga Eyes. I have a pair of sunglasses that I love but cannot wear anymore because of their poor fit on my (lack of) nose bridge. I tried going to different places to get them adjusted to my face, and they would shorten and tighten the arms to the point that I would get a headache wearing them... but the sunglasses would just still sit on my cheeks. I eventually realized that I really cannot wear plastic frames without nose pads! One day, I had an epiphany that I should add nose pads to them to make them fit better. After I scrolled through all the tacky stick-on nose pads on Amazon, I found websites where you can send in your sunglasses in so they can drill and screw on nose pads for you. I thought that was a brilliant idea, but I wanted to see if there are any local places that could do that for me. After all, it would be best if they could actually see the sunglasses on my face to adjust accordingly. I called my good old optometry office first. It was 10am and they were opened, but no one picked up. Called again. Nope. I got a little frustrated and decided to look around on yelp. I saw Nancy O.'s review of Sal among other glowing reviews, and I wanted to see if Sal can perform this rather unusual service on my sunglasses. I called Saratoga Eyes and Sal picked up immediately. He knew right away what I was looking for and kindly told me to bring in the sunglasses after 11am (when they opened) to see if the material would allow drilling. I realized then that I was actually calling him BEFORE his office hours, yet he was still so friendly and professional. That already left a great impression in my mind. When I went in in person, Sal examined my sunglasses and how they looked on my face. He then went into his back office to bring out this one piece solid hardware that completely matches with my sunglasses. He explained that this one piece (instead of two pieces that I see online- one for each nose pad) would be much more solid, quality, and comfortable. He clearly knew what he was talking about, and I agreed to his very reasonable price on the service. He told me that I could expect him to text or call in 2 days to pick up my sunglasses. I got a text the next day that my sunglasses was ready to be picked up! When I went back in to try my sunglasses on, I was SO. HAPPY. They no longer sit on my cheeks. Sal did great work. You cannot tell at all that there was an additional piece that was put on the sunglasses (unlike the tacky Amazon stick on nose pads which are super obvious). The nose pads were even..cushy! Then, Sal took his time adjusting the frame and the nose pads to fit perfectly on my face so they would have minimum slipping (but without the arms being so tight that would give me a headache). He even helped me adjust some other sunglasses that I have- which I completely expected to pay more for- since he spent so much time helping me. But he refused to accept any more payment other than the original quoted cost on the nose pads. Unbelievable. Throughout our interaction, it was very clear to me that Sal not only has high integrity, but is also extremely passionate and well-versed about all things optic. Did you know he can put new (and most likely BETTER) lens on your favorite frames with worn out lens? Did you know they do all the work IN HOUSE in their back office? No, Sal is not a salesy guy, but his humble yet confident demeanor really sold me on his business. He is a breath of fresh air in this often superficial and money-focused world of retail. I would highly recommend anyone who needs new eyewear or wants updates/fixes to their current eyewear to see Sal now. read more

Came here to check it out as I needed some new glasses (my old ones were deteriorating, and the place where I got it from no longer had ones in stock). I visited various other places but one particular Gucci pair here caught my eye (HEH, no pun intended)! This place is out of VSP network, but Janelle is very good about having the paperwork done for me and making mailing the VSP folks an easily and seamless process. The turnaround for glasses was about a week. Once I got my glasses Janelle's husband Sal did some minor adjustments and told me that I could come back whenever the glasses felt like they needed more adjustments. No complaints. read more

Saratoga Eyes is now my go-to optical store! The have a fantastic selection of stylish frames and their prices are incredible! I had them replace the lenses in my existing frames. They have impeccable customer service. They started my order and let me keep my fames until they needed to literally swap out the lenses. One day later, voila! Perfect glasses! Thanks, Saratoga Eyes! read more

In a world where it seems so many people are out for themselves, Janelle and Sal are not only a breath of fresh air, but people who genuinely care about others and demonstrate this care and concern in more ways than I have time to list. Add to that the fact that Sal grinds the lenses right on site and you have the perfect (well as nearly so as life permits) environment for obtaining those glasses you need without an ounce of the frustration I've personally experienced at other places. It only gets better when you discover that their shop is nestled in Saratoga Village. Every time I go to the village I leave feeling like I've spent the day in some sweet small European Village. What's not to love?! p.s. I just picked up two new pairs of glasses yesterday and Janelle's assessment of my needs and Sal's ability to execute on that analysis was the perfect "marriage" of skills and sensitivities. These are the best glasses I've ever had! My vision needs are quite specific and diverse and both pairs are working out wonderfully well. Thank you so very much, Janelle & Sal! read more

So happy I found Saratoga Eyes. I lost my prescription prism glasses which I need for my double vision. I contacted several opticians but each said it would take up to 12 days to have the lenses made. I found Saratoga Eyes and because they have their own lab to craft the lenses I was able to get a new pair of glasses in 24 hours. I'm so grateful that they exist and so grateful to be able to see clearly and drive this busy holiday season. Not only that but they also contacted my opthamologist and was able to tweak the prescription so I see even better with these glasses than I did with my old ones. read more

I have worn glasses for many years. Never have I received such personal, caring and expert attention. Every little detail of fit, comfort and of course vision was closely and successfully monitored. I recommend Saratoga Eyes totally, without any exceptions. read more

I needed to replace the lenses on two glasses. After searching in Los Gatos and Saratoga, I decided to go with Saratoga Eyes. And I definitely made the right choice. The shop is run by wonderful, local people. Frames are beautifully presented although I didn't need any this time. I was quoted a great price and quick turnaround since they have an in-house lab. A couple of days later I returned on the appointed day and received perfect lenses. It took them only a couple of minutes to replace the old ones. I'll be back. read more

The best place to get glasses! Janelle and her husband, Sal, run a first glass business. They will work with you until you are completely satisfied. Their knowledge far exceeds any place I've ever been. Definitely check them out! read more

She was really knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and kind! She used to work at Rudy project and so has very good knowledge and selection. If I were ever looking for eye wear again, I'd go there again. read more

An excellent, local eyewear store. You not only get excellent service from Jenelle and her husband cel but you get the expertise of Sal who is an excellent lens maker. read more

I bought three pairs of glasses from Saratoga Eyes: a pair with progressive lenses for everyday use, another pair for cycling and other outdoor activities (bifocal medium and long distance), and a third pair of computer glasses (bifocal short and medium distance). My prescription is quite complicated, with high astigmatism, which is always tricky. There was an additional complication: the prescription was wrong, due to a mistake made by my ophthalmologist. I discovered this when I picked up my first pair right before a long trip overseas. Janelle and Sal worked very closely with me through the process, making a second pair for my trip, knowing that it would need to be redone later, making accommodations while I got the prescription corrected, and remaking the glasses to the new prescription at no extra cost several months later. I've now used the three pairs they made for me for a few months. They are all of very high quality, and work perfectly. Throughout the process, both Janelle and Sal showed a high level of empathy and customer focus. They were a pleasure to interact with. I consider Sal to be a very knowledgeable, dedicated, professional, and experienced optician, intent on doing the job right. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Saratoga Eyes with no reservations whatsoever. read more

This place is a paradise when it comes to great service, fantastic advices and outstanding customer care. Janelle and her knowledgable husband will go the extra mile to provide you with the best experience. In this age where you can find articles online, trying and deciding on new frames is something that's still better done in the real world and finding that place is not easy. I bought a pair of rare designer glasses and wasn't sure about the frame color so Janelle ordered both to let me decide. Then when I brought back my purchase at home, I clumsily dropped the box on the gravel snd destroyed its look. It was entirely my fault. I called Janelle to let her know and she replaced it immediately at no charge. Thanks so much! I highly recommend you give Saratoga Eyes a visit read more

This is a wonderful, small local business. I really enjoyed my experience working with Janelle and Sal, the owners, and I love my new glasses! read more

nicest owner! great selection of cycling sunglasses.

The screw on my glasses fell out and I could not, for the life of me, get it back in. I'm so blind so I was worried about driving home without them. I work down the street so I decided to see if Saratoga Eyes sold a repair kit. Upon entering I was greeted by Sal. Although they didn't sell repair kits - he asked me to show him my glasses and see what he could do. Within minutes my glasses were fixed. He replaced the screw, as mine were stripped. I asked him if he would take a tip and he said "absolutely not"! What a wonderful guy. He deserves as least a 5-Star review based on friendliness, willingness to help a non-paying customer, and doing so happily. As I was in the store browsing their selection, I saw many wonderful frames. He also informed me that they make their own lenses so their prices are really competitive. I can't wait to come back and be a real paying customer based on this experience alone. Thank you Sal! You were wonderful. read more

They provide great products and great service. I like the unique high quality frames and even if you pick a pair your husband hates you can exchange them so there is no risk. I like that Saratoga Eyes matched what VSP would have covered. I still get compliments on the frames Janelle helped me select, she has a good eye. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Not to brag, but I have the most beautiful, unusual, fabulous glasses in the world. Guess where I got them? Saratoga Eyes has a lovely location and is owned and operated by a knowledgeable, helpful couple. Super-fast turnaround, so you won't have to wait long to look as great as I do! read more

As a radiologist, my professional proficiency and the safety of the patients whose medical imaging I analyze depends on my ability to focus on minute features of medical images displayed on computer monitors. I developed myopia as a teenager and am now well past the age when I acquired presbyopia as well. For years I've struggled to find correction for both limitations of visual focusing. I have progressive glasses and progressive lenses. These work well for distance and reading. Progressive lenses only provide me quality visual acuity in bright light I have found. The main problem with progressives is the middle distance -- the roughly 2-3 feet distance to a computer monitor. It is given short shrift or not addressed by progressive eyewear. With progressive glasses I have to tilt my head back and just the right angle to focus on a monitor and I routinely had a neck ache by the end of the work day. The progressive lenses were useless for the dim lighting necessary for viewing medical images. Last year I researched on line and discovered computer glasses. Computer glasses are progressives with a twist. The majority of the lens is fashioned to focus on the computer monitor distance. The bottom third is fashioned for reading distance. The lenses are not designed to provide focus on the far distance, but who needs this when working in an office? I went to Warby Parker with the results of a recent exam from my optometrist and ordered computer glasses. These turned out to be worthless. After this I went to see Janelle at Saratoga Eyes. She said they had many customers come in with the same issue. She took the same vision test results I had provided Warby Parker and in two weeks I went back and tried on my new glasses. These have been a game changer. I can now get through the work day without neck strain or worry that I am missing imaging findings because I cannot focus clearly on the monitors. I also use the computer glasses at home and once misplaced them and could not find them for a few days much to my dismay. I found the glasses wedged next to the drivers car seat. Now I have a second pair, one for home and one for work, to prevent losing the glasses in transit again. I highly recommend Saratoga Eyes. Service is outstanding! read more
