I have purchased all my glasses and sunglasses from The Unoptical for the past decade. Because my…read morehealth insurance covers annual eye exams, it is so easy to bring in my current prescription for them to use for the lenses. Their selection of frames range from affordable to high end designer. Regardless to what your budget is the customer service is unmatched! Billy is super knowledgeable and helpful to find the right frame. The lead time for the finished glasses depends on what you need but since I require progressive lenses it takes a little but longer than a standard lens. All three of my new glasses (one clear for everyday/night, two different style sunglasses) came in earlier than expected. Give yourself plenty of time to try on all the frames to find the exact one you want. It really is a fun and relaxing environment and Billy is the true star of the show, so make sure you go when he is there and available. I am so grateful to have this wonderful business in our community! Thank you so much!!

I have almost exclusively been using this brand of sunnies (and Quay) for many, many years. I have…read morespent hundreds of dollars through this company and over the years I have thrown so many pairs away (their mirrored lenses that I love, don't keep well) before discovering their one year warranty. In all the years and the hundreds I have spent, I have only utilized the warranty program once for a replacement pair. Then I ordered another pair recently, it cracked in a car accident we were in and so I filed for a replacement under the warranty. I sent two requests in 1 week and heard nothing back. Fortunately, they are on Yelp because I received a message back almost instantly saying it would be forwarded to a CS manager and I had a brand new replacement pair a few days later. Thank you so much for replacing my favorite pair of sunnies!

I bought three pairs of Blenders during the Memorial Day 2024 sale. One pair for me and two pairs…read morefor gifts. I loved my pair so much, but a few months ago, I was shopping and I left them in a dressing room at Nordstrom. When I went back to get them, alas they were gone, gaffled, adios. I was so sad... anyway, I went the whole summer rocking some old pairs of shades I had... but they were not cutting it. Cue today when I waltzed into Blenders on Cass St. and bought a sweet new pair of Matte Black Crimson Night IIs. Now I feel like myself again, and as we know, the San Diego sun is no joke - and we need sunglasses that can do the job well while making us feel, dare I say, cool! The two gents in the store were kind and efficient. One also was from NJ like moi, so that was fun. Anyway. I love Blenders - they're quality sunglasses for a decent price. They're a little pricey, but compared to other brands I like such as Oakley and Smith, they're downright affordable and they're an original San Diego brand (founded here in 2012), although I know they're majority owned by the Safilo Group now.

When I walked in it was already busy, however I was still greeted right away by Dante and he went over the general spiel of what to look for in my shopping experience. Coming in, I already knew my main intentions was to simply browse around (and to also escape the heat lol), but lo and behold... we found an unexpected gem today! And I knew I'd make a mistake if I left Revival without it. Currently a happy customer because I'm obsessed with my new frames! Towards the end of my shopping experience, Gizelle mainly assisted me with any questions I had. I also appreciated the transparent process she shared with me in terms of pricing. I didn't think the frames I got were expensive at all, very reasonable. Once again, thank you, Gizelle (as well as Dante), for your guidance and patience throughout the entire transaction! I know I was the one "picky" customer who came in for a little. As for anyone else who's been curious about this nifty lil shop, I'm sure you'd also find that one piece of eyewear that's meant for you at Revival. :-)

Ana patiently worked with me to troubleshoot the fit of the lenses and make sure they wouldn't fall out as the vintage frame had a bit of wear and tear that made them unstable. She was able to add a rubber lining on the inside that helped grip the lens better. It worked like a charm! I so appreciate small businesses like Revival that specialize in a unique niche and have knowledgeable staff. They also have an impeccable selection of vintage frames and I will for sure come back for future eyewear needs!

Today's experience just reinforced why I will continue to do business with this fine company. After my first purchase of CAPs from a hotel in Miami Beach, FL, I had reason to reach out to Zach, whose excellent customer service was everything other references have said. But, having learned that Zach has moved on, more recently, I reached out to Armando; and he followed through on 9FIVE's value proposition of having great products at a fair price, professionally represented. However, until today, all of my dealings with 9FIVE has been on line, which when you think about what goes into getting prescription glasses RIGHT, not to mention from an on line retailer, that's pretty amazing! But, being on vacation in the San Diego area gave me the opportunity to visit 9FIVE's Logan Ave. store. From the very minute I met Samantha, and then several of her co-workers, I knew that the 9FIVE culture of selling great products, backed up by competent, caring customer service was alive and well. There's a reason this company has been in business as long as it has AND that it continues to survive in such challenging times. Never having met 9FIVE's owner(s), I just want you to know how well your employees aré representing you. Thanks!

There's a rhythm and a beat to what they're doing here, and it's music to my ears. Shout out the whole Arts-Rec as a staff, a label, and as a mfin' crew.
