    If you're looking for a friendly and professional optometrist in El Cajon, this is the place to go! This was my first visit, and everything went smoothly. I was greeted by Mathew, who was incredibly kind and attentive--you can tell he genuinely cares about each patient's experience. Dr. Deaner was just as impressive--warm, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the exam. Honestly, the whole team is welcoming and clearly dedicated to providing excellent care. I highly recommend this office if you want a positive, stress-free eye care experience!

    I had first visited this office two years ago and was seen by Dr. Weiss. The entire process, from exam to fitting of my new glasses was flawless. Times have changed drastically. It started with my new exam, but a different doctor. The exam, itself, seemed alright. When my new glasses came in a week later, things went downhill quickly. I was handed them, asked to look around and then dismissed. As the afternoon went on, I struggled to focus. I also discovered several scratches on both lenses. I called the next day to request to be re-examined, along with having the lenses replaced. The doctor admitted to bumping up my prescription because of my elevated astigmatism. A completely new setup was ordered. I was called two weeks later and, again, handed the glasses, asked to look around and dismissed. I didn't take the time to look at the lenses carefully. When I got home and went to clean them correctly, I noticed the left lense looked as though it had been cleaned with sand paper. I've owned my previous pair for two years and they have not a scratch on them. I took them back in, with an attitude. They said they would address the issue promptly. Two weeks later, I'm told they are back. I asked them to inspect the lenses before I wasted time coming back in. Three hours later, I get a call to inform me that the lab applied the earlier prescription. I was told I would receive some form of reimbursement. It never happened. It took another three weeks to get them back, and they were wrapped in foam. The office assistant informed me that the lab supervisor inspected and wrapped them personally. As she was the only person in sight, I was handed a set of ill-fitting glasses that drove me crazy. Costco was amazing with the little time it took to fit and adjust them. I cannot recommend Main Street Optometry at all. As so many reviews have stated, the level of quality and customer service has gone downhilll dramatically. Warranty withstanding, I will not be returning.

She said they could and took my glasses off to a counter a few feet away. She spent several minutes Trying to install the little screw that I brought her.she then tried to tweak the little hinges on the frames themselves and then brought them back and said she was sorry she could not take care of it. She recommended I take my Columbia glasses to the Oakley store since they sell Columbia glasses there. I asked her if she knew any nearby but she did not. I said thanks and I took my glasses over to Kaiser Permanente where I purchased them. When I got to Kaiser I explained to the person working at the counter that I could not get the screw in anymore as it was stripped and they said they could take care of it for me. Iopened up the glasses and handed them to a technician who pointed to the hinges and asked what happened. While the young lady at eyeglass world was working on them she crushed the hinges together with the needle nose pliers she was using, (where the screw goes into and the arm) would no longer fit in place. I was told they could try to fix them but there was a great possibility that it would fall apart and be ruined. The tech at Kaiser worked on them for about 15 minutes and gently was able to pry the little hinge open far enough to be able to get the arm installed and a new screw which was tapered in place because of the threads being crushed by the pliers. It is my fault for not looking at my own glasses before I walked out of eyeglass world but I really wish that the person working there would not be so deceitful as to Damage my property and then hand them back to me with a smile and recommend I go somewhere else. For this reason I cannot trust this company, specifically this location to work with my property or earn my money and respect.

Victor and Amanda helped me find my Third Pair of glasses that Tia the district manager was helping me out with. I told Tia the wrong store too!! I told her I was going to santee and accidentally came to El Cajon. I am glad I did because I found the perfect pair of glasses and had fun doing it. Victor was very helpful and knew exactly what I was looking for. He let his personality show and made me feel like one of his friends. Amanda was super busy but made time to make sure I was taken Care of. In fact they were both busy but still made sure I was taken care of. Way to JK team. Can't wait til my lenses get here.

    Eyeglass World - The glasses no longer set level as the hardware was bent too far out of place to safely be made accurate again.

I cannot believe I've been wearing ill-fitting glasses for so long when Eleven Optical has been around. If you've got a low nose bridge, almost everything here will fit you so much better than brands that allegedly have low nose bridge styles but they still slide down (coughWarbyParkercough). I also don't really know what style of frames suit my face shape the best, but the super helpful staff here were able to point me in the right direction. Super quick turnaround time as well - I went on a Sunday and had them by Tuesday, but that's only because I needed the 1.67 index lenses which take a little longer and they're closed on Mondays. I think most prescriptions they can turn around within a day, which is amazing. On pick up day, I was able to get my frames adjusted to fit my face. As I understand it, they make as many adjustments as you need if you bring your glasses in. The only minor con is that the parking lot here is the size of a booger, but I was still able to find parking both times. I'll never get glasses anywhere else again!

    Awesome service. Lots of options for Asian low bridge faces.

Secondly, they have a form to sign if you want to opt in or not to dilate your eyes. While I don't mind the extra $30, the doctor was trying to upsell me into coming for a follow-up visit for having dandruff in my eyelashes when that can be mitigated with an OTC product. It was at this point, the trust trying to instill was lost because attempting add ons here and there doesn't come off as genuine. When I shared I'm not into brand frames, the other lady mentioned stores carry only brand frames, which isn't true. My last 2 optometrist had generic frames - so I got the print of my prescription, went back to my old doctor (30min away) and he reassured me that what was seen in my eyelashes wasn't necessary for a follow-up visit since my condition was not severe. I'm glad I met Olive but my experience here only confirmed to go back to my old doctor, despite going out of my way in drive time.
