Let me start by saying I had no reason to. This location is nothing like the other. The doctors were great at both locations, but Sports Arena was still better by a landslide. The tech in the beginning was so nice and funny and made the whole start of it easy, even relaxed. I was able to redo my Neurovision test, which I needed for my BVD, binocular vision dysfunction. If you don't know what that is, they explain it well and walk you through your options of treatment, and it's worth it. My motion sickness is finally gone after having it my whole life. Back to the doctor, she was kind and thorough. She made sure I was getting what I needed and gave me options. My insurance covers prism lenses for BVD but not Neurolenses. I've used Neurolenses last time, and they help amazingly, but I wanted to see if the ones my insurance covered would work, so she worked up the numbers for both in case I needed to come back to switch out for the Neurolenses. When she brought me to the front to be helped with getting glasses and going over my insurance with the next person, they both reassured me that if the prisms didn't work, I could bring back my glasses, and the amount I paid would be put towards the other lenses. That was a relief. The gentleman in the front who helped me also helped my husband that day, and he was amazing. He had a freeing vibe that was all his own, and he knew how to read exactly what you wanted. They being frames to you so you don't have to wander. It was a nice surprise to be catered to like that. He made it fun, and the few pieces of feedback given, he took to heart and redirected exactly to what you needed. He found my favorite pair of frames I've ever had. I've gone back and forth from metal to plastic but almost always doing black. Without knowing it, he grabbed a clear pink pair I was eyeing from across the room like he was reading my mind. I'm in love with them. They're the best-fitting glasses I've ever had, which is saying a lot since I have a small head, and most fall off. I've had to get kids' glasses in the past. These were kids' glasses, and they were perfect. He did amazing. Best yet, he did his magic all over again with my husband and got him a pair of frames he loves that he normally would never go for. My husband is a brow glasses guy. This time, with the help of this gentleman and a lot of convincing from his wife, he tried a full frame and loves it. They know what they're doing here. We'll definitely be returning!

MODERN LUXURY EYE WEAR (5 stars)…read more Get your eyes checked! Majority of us, if not all, pay for these health benefits every pay check and we don't use them. Mind you, your eyes are very important organs - get them checked. With that in mind, I decided to pick a good place based off of reviews because the past few years I went to "convenient places" with an optometry section (Costco, Target) and haven't had that great of service. Back to going to smaller independent optometrist for better overall service. I scheduled the earliest appointment which was about a week out and didn't have any preference on Dr. I ended up getting assigned to Dr. Phu! Depending on time of day, the area can be difficult to find parking - my appointment was at 5:45pm when everyone's coming home and had a difficult time looking for parking and was almost running late to my appointment. I was quickly brought to the back examination room. EXAM. Eye exam with the benefits I have - $10. went with the comprehensive eye exam. There were two options, one to get your eyes diluted (the oldskool way) or not (the newskool way) but with an additional $40 fee. I went this route. Did the regular read letters in different sizes. Then moved to 4 machines that did a variation of testing to check the health of the eyes and etc, do more testings, and take a picture of the anatomy of the eye. Happy to hear everything is fine and I am close to 20/20 vision - although I have worn bifocals since I was 8yrs old and told by several optometrist I have slight stigmatism in my right eye. This exam, there was no stigmatism - if there is it's probably so minor it's not noticeable. And no signs of glaucoma! The exam was about 30m. I reviewed my prescription right away and was not pushed to buy glasses here. FRAME SELECTIONS Very high-end and unique frames! Have you ever seen someone with amazing eyewear and wonder why they got their glasses because it stand out - this is the kind of place where you would get them. The frames here are very pricy but they are also very unique. Many cool ones with personality and pop but my character is very basic and simple that those wouldn't fit me. I asked about what if I brought in my own frames outside (brand new) and they are willing to work with you to get lenses for them. Of course addition paperwork will be filled. I like this place and will bring my future eye service to them. Until the next review...

She answers my many questions and explains all of the exam results, especially comparing my retina digital scans over time. She gave me recommendations for new eyedrops to help with my dry eyes and also provided recommendations for retinal specialists to get a second opinion. She's very friendly and easy to talk with and I trust her professional evaluations and recommendations. Patti helped me find several new frames that I didn't select while shopping online and I absolutely love my 2 new frames! I like that she not only adds more frames that seem in line with the frames I tend to like as well as shows me other frames that she thinks could look good with my face shape. Customer care is superb here and I recommend Urban Optiks to the many people who ask me where I got my frames. It's the only place I've found for unique frames. Yes, some of these unique frames will be pricey, esp if you don't have any eyewear insurance. However, the frames I've purchased are of the highest quality and will last a long time. Since I have to wear glasses the entire day, I have to like what I wear and they need to fit well and be comfortable. I've always found the best frames here! Very happy and I've been coming here for over 10 years!

He was very good , but pricey. Also, I didn't always like how his technicians would push optional tests on you that you didn't need. They also didnt always tell you about the cost. You'd walk out of his office after about $300 without contacts or glasses. You could end up spending about $1500 for glasses or more depending on your prescription and if you add all the bells and whistles. At Eyeglass World you usually spend way less. Also, the customer service is outstanding. When I walked in I was greeted by Brian and directed to where I check in for my eye appointment, Tresten checked me in and he was very friendly. Within in 10 minutes I was called into the pre test room where he took a pictures of my eyes did eye measurements and the eye puffer test. He did ask if I wanted to do an extensive eye test for $15, but I declined. Not long after I was put in the exam room and Dr. Yarnell came about 3 minutes later. She was really good. She walks you step by step on your exam and the findings. After the exam I went to look at glasses. I had a friend with to help me look at glasses and see which ones looked the best. I was in between 4 pairs and than Monsay came to help us and she agreed on the glasses that were my number 1 choice. I spent after all the add-ons and insurance discounts $226.30. I'm just deciding if I want the 1 year protection plan for $25. I have 30 days to get it. Anyways great customer care/service. I will be back and have established a new optometrist.

I recently visited Optometry for an eye exam and had a fantastic experience, thanks largely to a wonderful staff member named Stephanie. From the moment I walked in Stephanie was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I was having some trouble logging into the patient portal, and without hesitation, she stepped in to assist me. She walked me through the process patiently, ensuring I could access everything I needed. When it was time for my eye exam, Stephanie carefully explained each step of the process, making sure I understood what we would be doing. I tend to get quite anxious when it comes to the air puff test as it always makes me jumpy. But Stephanie was so reassuring and efficient that she managed to complete the test on both eyes quickly, without needing any do-overs. Overall, my visit to Optometry was smooth and pleasant, and the staff played a huge role in making that happen. Stephany, in particular, made a big difference with her kindness and professionalism. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to help really put me at ease throughout the entire appointment. I highly recommend Optometry, especially if you get the chance to interact with someone as wonderful as Stephanie, Thank you for the great experience! read more

Edit: changed to a 3 star because a refund was in fact issued…read more TLDR: Dr is nice. Staff sucks. I came here because I'm mid 40s and my close focus is going. So I figured I'll get a checkup. The doctor was very nice and told me I honestly could just get readers with a 1.00 and I said no I want glasses that Allow me to read things close but not have to take them off to do other things if possible. So she said progressives would work. I picked out a frame and told the staff I was interested in shades in the same exact setup. They told me shades are out of pocket and I said that's fine. A few weeks later, I'm there to pick them up. The shades have no prescription. Which confuses me so I tell the lady helping me that the shades have no prescription. She says "yeah you ordered without a prescription" I walked in wearing a pair of rayban wayfarers. Why would I need another exactly like them without a prescription? Anyways, When I was ordering them ... talking about the glass itself, someone asked me what color lenses and I said "like the g16 or whatever it's called. Just regular shades." And the person said "well they're prescription so they're not the rayban lenses". So there was an understanding that I was ordering prescription shades. As I'm talking to the lady helping me at the time of pickup, she's telling me they'll have to charge a difference for the new prescription. I ask why. She says because I need two prescriptions. I say I don't need two prescriptions. My distance vision is fine. So she goes and talks to the person who makes the lenses and comes back and says they'll fix them and they'll call when they're ready. During the wait, I emailed the doctor saying the clear progressive glasses I ordered seem to be a bit off. It feels like the readable area is very tight and low and I have to hold things very low to be able to read them. I ask if that's something that can be changed and she answered yes they can and that I should make an appointment with her staff. So I get a text saying my shades are ready. Go to pick them up. And they're not progressives. They're just readers. I'm already bothered I had to come back and now the lady helping me is trying to say that's what I had asked for. Like why on earth would I ask for reader shades?? It defeats the ENTIRE PURPOSE to have to carry around a pair of shades to read and another pair to do literally everything else. So the lady sits down and has an annoyed look on her face and picks up my glasses that I brought in to talk about. And she asks "these are correct, right?" So I say no actually I was hoping that they could be corrected because they're a little off And as I'm speaking I can see her getting more annoyed. She starts to explain why they can't fix them. She draws a little diagram on a piece of paper. And I tell her I emailed the doctor about it and the doctor said they could fix them. Her tone changes a bit like ok maybe they can fix them and I'm just done dealing with these people. I left both pairs of glasses with them and asked for a refund. I sincerely hope they honor it. I only get one weekday off and I wasted 3 of them on this office. I regret that the doctor gets a 1 star rating but the staff is horrible to deal with

You went from one service provider to the next until you are deposited back in the waiting area where there were several other victims waiting for the treatment/process. The basic frames are way overpriced if you don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for higher-end frames. It also felt like they were charging me for every little thing. The counter people appeared very inexperienced and seemed really terrified of making a mistake. I was not looking forward to going back, but was kind of insulted when they didn't even send a reminder card about the next year's exam. I won't be back even though it's close to home.

Dr. Leheqa Suljuki OD saved the vision in my right eye…read more Period. She deserves credit where credit is due. Let me explain. I've been in the Healthcare industry since 1996. Specifically Dental. I always thought that patients that did not get regular cleanings and exams by a Dentist were crazy and did not understand the importance of doing so. Sadly, I was that Optometry patient. Even though I had phenomenal optical coverage that covered my exams and eye glasses(if needed) 100%. Being above average health wise, and never really having any issues with my vision after lasic corrective surgery about 15 years ago, I rarely went in for eye exams. A couple of years ago, I noticed what I know now, are called "floaters" in my vision. These are black dots that can move across your periphery during normal eyesight. I also, noticed a slight "blind spot" with my right eye if I waived my hand around the lower right, while covering my left eye. This went on for a few weeks, and waiting for things to change for the better(as we tend to do) wasn't helping. I scheduled an appointment at my local Lens Crafters in Mission Valley, and Dr. Suljuki was assigned to my exam. To this day, it is by the grace of God that I booked that appointment and was matched up with Dr. Suljuki. It was a Saturday morning appointment. I'll never forget it. She found what is referred to as a "horseshoe tear" in the retina of my right eye. She sounded the alarm with me and stressed the seriousness of this problem. She said I needed to get surgery IMMEDIATELY and sent me DIRECTLY to Shiley Eye Institute. I want from Dr. Suljuki's exam straight to the Institute and began a laser surgery process to fix the tear before it could progress and further. They use a laser to "tack down" the retina back into position. I won't get into any more details of that process, but it involved several more visits to Shiley and several more laser treatments. THIS is how Dr. Suljuki singlehandedly saved my right eye vision. The way she acted and insisted I go straight to the eye surgery Institute without ANY DOUBT saved my vision in that eye. She is very thorough, caring, and truly passionate about the well being of her patients, and her job. I cannot recommend her enough. I am forever grateful to her for her insistence that I go DIRECTLY to surgery, because I was within a few days or mere hours, of a total retinal collapse, which can cause permanent blindness. Don't be me. Get regular eye exams and ask for Dr. Laheqa Suljuki. She is a real-life angel in my book -Christopher Johnsen

Unlike many other aspects of civilian healthcare I've encountered, this business keeps it simple and is not driven simply by $$. I have had several appointments now (as has my fiancé who I referred here, and he loves it too!) and have never waited more than 5 minutes, never felt pressured to buy or upgrade anything and have never felt rushed or dismissed. Every time I am here I feel like the most important person in the room - no exaggeration. Recently I suddenly ran out of contact lenses and realized my prescription expired. Mission Valley Family Optometry got me in for a lens fitting only (didn't try to up charge me to a full exam since I'd had one a few months ago), hooked me up with several trial pairs to get me through AND a prescription for a couple different lenses so I could choose the ones I liked the best. And absolutely zero pressure to buy the lenses from them. I can't say enough good things about this practice and I really wish more people would share their positive experiences on here! If you are a busy human (like me) looking for quick, easy (but thorough), affordable eye care - look no further!
