I have to tell you how much I loved my experience at Bayview Opticians in Sarasota. Dr. Doctor…read more(yep, that's his real name!) is one of the kindest, most thorough, and patient eye doctors I've ever been to. In all my 40 years of needing glasses and eye care, I've never walked away ecstatic about my experience...until now. From the moment you walk in, a calm falls over you. Suddenly, everything is as it should be and your breathing slows. You put your phone away and enjoy the silence. Suzanne will calmly take care of your paperwork. Insurance? Great! No insurance? That's great too! Don't miss the art in the fitting room and in the hallway. My personal fave in the examination room, a large colorful hook-rug art piece of an owl. I'm in 1983 again and everything is going to be OK. When your exam is over, Lorenzo will patiently help you determine the perfect frame for your uniquely beautiful face and your budget. Honest, reliable, diligent, studied, and chill as heck. Come here if you want to find the best care and the best service in Sarasota.

Went for a much overdue and much needed eye exam yesterday, so I am updating my review just to say…read morethat Bayview Opticians is still the best. Dr. Ron Doctor is the most pleasant, gentle, and patient doctor I've ever encountered. My eye exam was done in only about 25 minutes and was quick and painless. He is very thorough, and you can tell that he genuinely cares about each and every one of his patients. Suzanne keeps the front desk in tip top shape, and had my insurance and paperwork pulled up in the blink of an eye. I came on my lunch break so I was very appreciative that she had everything ready for me. And of course, there's Lorenzo. The most fabulous, friendliest, optician you could ever find. I wouldn't trust anyone else to pick my glasses for me.

07/22/2026 I did the unthinkable!!! I have been wearing Contact Lenses since the age of 16…read more However, for the first time in my life while I was watching TV I accidentally fell asleep with my Contact Lenses. When I woke up "Both of My eyes were hurting so much!!!! AND "For the record" I did try numerous times taking out the Contacts with Contact Lenses Solution with my thumbs but it didn't work . "Both of my eyes were hurting so much and the pain in both of my eyes was unbearable". I knew that there was no way that I could drive on I75 from LAKEWOOD RANCH. My husband was at work. Therefore, I had to wait until he got off work so he could take me directly to GULF COSTAL EYE CENTER. But the point of this review I was in so much pain and it was unbearable. Dr Steven Bovio took the time 30 minutes before closing his office to attend me. He cleared me that I didn't have the contact lenses still in my eyes and he prescribed eye drop medication to take. And I'm not allowed to drive for five days. The point of this review is to clearly "STATE" that if you just moved to this area. Or if you don't like your optometrist and you're looking to change to a new optometrist look no further!!!! Go to see "DR. STEVEN BOVIO" !!!!

The staff at the front was warm and welcoming, the tech that ran me through the pre-testing was friendly and explained procedures. And Dr. Ashley was wonderful. Super friendly, and explained everything she was doing, as well as the results. This is the one thing that I really valued from my former eye doctor, and am so pleased to have found a new doctor that does this. After dilating my eyes and taking images, Dr. Ashley showed me the images and explained everything she was seeing - this is awesome - I really appreciate that level of involvement. Anyway, I'm happy I found them and will recommend to my friends.

We arrived just as the office opened and greeted by one of the staff members. Unfortunately, we never asked for his name.

We were in and out of the store in about 20 minutes with glasses that fixed, adjusted and comfortable for my wife. We were so glad we found Optical Services. Thank you.
