I really like this place. They are always on time and efficient. Very thorough. Cute selection of glasses. Great service. Highly recommend!

Very detailed eye exam. Doctor and staff both were very patient and detail oriented. Highly recommend

I had a great experience at AccuVision Optometry. The entire process was efficient and professional from start to finish. Dr. Thich and the team are incredibly thorough; they took the time to walk me through my eye exams and answered all of my questions with patience. read more

Dr. Thich and Dr. Huynh are both very helpful. I've been coming here for years and they monitor my eye health, thoroughly go through my optic eye map images with me, and listen and answer any questions I have. Great eye doctors and team! read more

I called to make an appointment and ask about my insurance plan since it was my first time booking since moving to SF and the woman on the phone was very rude and unhelpful. She got mad that I was asking about how the prices work and how the plan works in general compared to other optometrists and said she'll cancel my appointment because she doesn't have time for me to ask around. Very unprofessional and a terrible experience and I decided that I'll go somewhere else after this experience. read more

Dr. Amy Thich is excellent, I've had great eye care from here for many years. The office has so many stylish options for glasses too.

Always efficient, on time, patient, answers all questions, does all necessary exams great, all for reasonable prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I drove hundreds of miles to come back to AccuVision. I moved away from SF during the pandemic, and tried to go to the local eye doctor instead. They just could not compare to the service I received at AccuVision. Dr. Thich is great, and the front office does a great job. They mail me my contacts so I don't have to come back to the office and get them, they submit my expenses to not only my VSP policy but also my medical insurance when appropriate, and I can always get an appointment when I need one. It was literally worth driving across the state once a year to come to this appointment and having it be so easy and enjoyable. read more

This place feels like a scam at a bunch of levels. The doctor is nice and helpful, but everything else is a scam. The glasses in the store are 3x more expensive than basically anything else, and they upsell you/force you to get bs things that you don't need like blue light blocking lenses or whatever (hey if you want that cool, but somehow you can't get a frame you liked without getting upgraded lenses since they only come with that blah blah). Oh and the glasses take something like 6 weeks to be ready (?). And it gets worse - if you want to get your prescription and buy glasses online you really can't. They have another excuse that they can only give you part of the details of your prescription because "we think the people that do the measurement need to fit the frames and online places do a bad job." Never going here again and wish I never had. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Thich for 6+ years. She and her team are truly amazing. Quick appointments, excellent service, professional manors--all you would hope for in a doctor. I could not recommend this office more. read more

Had a negative experience at this office. The eye exam was fine, but the lady at the front desk was less than helpful when it came to reimbursement questions. She acted very inconvenienced about helping me and acted as though patients should already know this process. I won't be coming back here again :( read more

There was another physician in place of the one I usually see and she did not prescribe be the correct contacts. I felt rushed during the exam and she was very unhelpful. read more

I was looking for an optometrist for quite some time that could not inly accommodate to my busy schedule but to also offer me a welcoming environment aswell. I walked into a very clean store and all staff were wearing face masks amidst the pandemic which offered me the sense of security i needed. The staff were patient with giving me instructions and were very clear. I will definitely be bringing back my entire family here since we all have vision problems. Not to mention the good food recommended nearby and a wonderful flower shop close by. read more

I was very grateful to be seen in this office after my previous doctor left town. They took me on short notice as I have dry eyes and this can get infected very quickly. Yet, in the middle of a COVID surge, they insisted that I come in for a visit, as opposed to just prescribing me steroid eye drops as the other doc would have done. I understand this. What I don't understand is that this office has little COIVD precautions in place. We are about to be locked down again and this office waiting room is about 180 square feet and there are no markers for people to be six feet apart. At one point, there were six people in the waiting room. I waited outside and then asked to keep the door open, though this should have been obvious. The next and most upsetting thing is that the doctor who examined me did not have gloves on and he touched my lower eyelids so he could put some drops in. I was very jarred by this and I asked if he had gloves on and he said no. He said he had washed his hands, but I did did see this. In fact, what I saw was that he was typing on his keyboard and then touched my eyes. He had a very basic mask (not N-95 and no face shield) I really needed this appointment, because if my dry eye gets worse, it can cause an infection and I don't want that. But I also don't want COVID. This doc told me he also works in a pediatric optometry clinic and so I am left wondering how exposed he is and how exposed am I. He did not wash his hands in front of me, took my information and typed on his computer, then touched my eyes, which I assume he did for the last patient--have no idea if the keyboard was cleaned. I got my steroid drops, but am literally terrified about the lack of precautions and that I might get COVID. read more

I love this spot! Once you walk into the business you a greeted kindly by the receptionist. Amy Thich, O.D. is genuinely interested in how her clients are doing and listens to any concerns you may have about your vision. Although I only visit for my yearly eye exam they have always been pleasant experiences! Although I no longer live in San Francisco I travel from the East Bay to have my eye exams here.I usually go alone and like many, I take my sweet time choosing my lenses and trying on various glasses until I feel like I found the right one. The receptionist are there to help and on many occasions, I have asked them for their opinion on how a particular lens looks on me and they are always honest, which makes it easier to shop when browsing alone. I highly recommend their Optometry services as well as the variety of lenses they offer from top designer brands to lenses that don't break the bank. read more

AccuVision Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Dr Thich is very thorough, knowledgeable and patient. Her team is also very friendly and they have a nice selection of frames in the store.

There are so many reviews, I need to say no more about how good the service is for an optometry. I will just mention two special occasions 1. my parking meter, a typical stingy sf meter, lasts only 1 hour including the waiting time, vision check and then 2nd step doctor verification... I was on the edge of the chair, but the doctor and receptionist were so friendly, zero attitude, all friendly understanding, they kept track of time for me, got all the stuff done, and I was out of the door and at my car in a blink of an eye. I am definitely coming back as a customer and a neighbor 2. Listening to my personal concern: my eye sight has been so bad after studying like crazy as a university student, working as an IT consultant, I dont want the prescription to keep climbing, expressed my concern to the doctor, and she totally understand. Helped me to find a 'compromise' prescription that is medically viable, accurate and also works for me. I appreciate the doctor took my personal concern and opinion into account, even if just for a very minor portion. Despite all the discounts else where, I happily ordered my new glasses in this office, and even a small quantity of contacts. Tips: EyeMed discount card takes one hundred dollar + off glasses here, a great plus. Tips: this office is awesomely WIRED! They sent out digital notifications and forms, for a busy IT consultant I love it, and love finishing my forms before hand to save waiting time, and get my notifications in email saves me phone minutes, and i can check the message anywhere on a smart phone read more

I have been going to this place for several years and I have had a wonderful experience every time. Dr Thich is a fantastic optometrist and recently I saw another female Dr there, I wish I could remember her name, but she was just as fantastic. The receptionist is so friendly and helpful. I can't recommend this place more highly. You have to see for yourself how great it is here. read more

I'm impressed by the professional etiquette when I arrive. Amy Thich and her staff are very personable and helpful in finding the right glasses and right fit. Always affirming their great reputation as an optometry clinic. Upon arriving, I receive a inviting welcome every time and am out of the office within the hour. I like to receive their notifications via email when I'm due for my next visit or just a friendly reminder of how to take care of my eyes during the year. Thankful for having them nearby! read more

This office was recommended by my doctor who moved out of California. First of all - scheduled an appointment with Dr Thich but was seen by another doctor... nobody told me about changing the doctors... then came in to adjust the glasses I bough at the office and a young lady at the front desk took my glasses and after a few tries - my glasses still wouldn't fit correctly! All she told me that if she keeps adjusting them - the glasses would just break?! I understand but at the same time they used to fit!!! She had no idea what she was doing... very rude as well... and the glasses cause me a headache now... very disappointed! Will not be returning! read more

Highly recommend Amy Thich and the team at Accuvision Optometry. Went there on the recommendation of a coworker for an eye test. Super helpful and efficient, and explained the results clearly. Would definitely recommend! read more

I went here to get a couple of pairs of new glasses in December. When I first arrived I wasn't so sure because the interior looked a bit outdated. But the service was solid. They were easy to communicate with. And the doctor seemed knowledgeable and took some extra time to address some concerns I had. Overall a good experience. I would go here again. read more

Very thorough eye exam. Wide variety of eyewear to choose from. Staff very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

I lived about a block away from Accuvision and had been a regular for about three years until recently moving. Honestly, I never really liked going here but laziness is a strong (de)motivator. Dr Thich is nice enough, seems like a competent doctor, and seems to have through eye exam. However, the business-side of this place is beyond shady. First, there is strong pressure to purchase your contacts or glasses from Accuvision. In my case there is no benefit to purchase contacts in store as they have to order my prescription (it's never in stock) AND prices are about twice of online contacts. They always tries to persuade me to buy from the store, claiming VSP will only cover my lenses if I buy them that instant (not true - you can buy online and send in the receipt) or that it makes no difference where I buy lenses from (also not true - Accuvision's lenses are twice as expensive as online). After an awkward sequence of back and forth rebuttals, I have to firmly ask for my prescription (the one they are legally required to provide) and they grudgingly provide it. Turns out they joke was on me - the omitted 3 measurements that are needed to make the glasses, making it impossible to order glasses on a site like Warby Parker. Second, Accuvision tacks a number of extra "required" services and charges on every eye exam. For example, there is a mandatory ~$75 "contact fitting fee", even if you are staying with the same lens type and prescription! This is not normal - my doctor before and current doctor do not require or even suggest this service unless you change lens types. They also dilate your eyes during every exam as a default option (and charge you an additional fee) - turns out most other optometrists suggest dilation every 2 or 3 years. Finally, my biggest annoyance (and what ultimately caused me to switch doctors) is that when I requested a contact lens and glasses prescription, they charged me for two exams! They claimed my insurance (VSP) only covers prescription for one or the other - they charged my insurance for the cost of the contacts exam and charged me for the cost of a second. This is the only place I know of that does this - every doctor I've had has provided a contact and glasses prescription while charging a for a single exam. All and all, I would recommend avoiding Accuvision - I'm all for supporting local optometrists over the big chain stores and there are plenty of other qualified doctors in SF and the Bay Area that will give you equally good service without the questionable business practices and heavy sales pressure. read more

Shady business practices!!!! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR VISION INSURANCE BENEFITS BEFORE COMING HERE! Better yet, don't come here at all. I called my vision insurance plan prior to my appointment with Dr. Thich to learn and know what my plan does and does not cover, and all the fun details. My plan informed me that I can go out of network for contacts, and I just have to submit my receipt to them and they will reimburst up to $150 for contact lenses that are not on formulary. Both the front office desk receptionist? woman AND dr. Thich insisted that I had to pay a contact lens fitting fee (which my insurance informed me was included in my exam and, hence, covered) and that I had to purchase contacts at their office (again, my insurance company assured me I could get contacts anywhere and would receive reimbursement). I had to confidently assert that I knew my contact lens fitting fee was included in my eye exam under my insurance plan, and that I could get contact lenses anywhere I choose. This was not just an argument prior to my appointment with both receptionist and doctor, but came up AGAIN in my eye exam with Dr. Thich and her insisting I could only buy contacts in her office. She eventually caved after we had a circular argument 5 times, and then finally admitted "yes, you can get contacts elsewhere" similarly to the contact lens fitting fee caving before my appointment began. I would NEVER go back - I don't enjoy feeling uncomfortable and having to argue repetitively to staff and doctor who KNOWS that they are assertively and confidently lying to patients hoping to get away with it to make $$$. I called my vision insurance again the day after my appointment, and they confirmed that all the information I had collected from them originally was correct in regards to my vision coverage. read more

All the high rated reviews made me come here and my experience was pretty bad. First I called on Monday a little after 9am but no one picked up the phone. Ok, I was near by so I figured I'd drop in to get new prescription for glasses. Wrong, the doctor wasn't in on Monday. I fed a parking meter an hour worth of quarters for nothing and scheduled an appointment for Tuesday at 10. On Tuesday, I couldn't make 10am so I called and was rescheduled for 2pm. Too bad both the doctor and the front desk woman were out to lunch until 2:10.. At this point, I was starting to REALLY doubt the quality of this place but still went on. The eye exam was fine, I had to pay for contact lens fitting which I'm pretty sure I didn't need nor got as evident by lack of contact lens prescription. I planned to buy my glasses from Warby Parker and the service at AccuVision definitely convinced me to go with my plan. At the end, I wish I'd trusted the reviews less and the obvious signs of bad service and went somewhere else. read more

I was really impressed by my experience here. For years I'd gone to places like Lenscrafters and it was always OK but AccuVision took things up a notch. They had technology to assess your retinal health I'd never experienced before and the doctor was kind and professional. The admin staff were helpful with questions about insurance benefits and best of all their hours are really convenient offering later hours M-F and they are even open on Saturday. I'm really glad that AccuVision was in my vision plan network and that I can support a neighborhood business. read more

Every time I go to an optometrist, I fail the eye test. "Which is better, 1 or 2?" I pick 2, and then immediately realize my mistake and hate myself because I should have gone with 1, but before I can say anything, there's a new lens being introduced into the mix and and now I have to choose between A or B, so I keep going down this wormhole thinking that the next option will somehow correct the 3 previously shitty choices I made. But not here. This time I got it right, and left with the perfect prescription. I left this place feeling like I could really see clearly, for the first time. I celebrated by making out with the first hobo's dog that I saw (aww guys hobo dogs, that's sad. Not cool, Lo.). read more

Super easy to make an appointment with their website! I just entered my preferences and they called me and set one up for the next day. Went in, and was seen almost immediately. Dr. Thich was super friendly and personable and efficient, as was her receptionist. The only complaint I had was that there weren't any prices on the frames in the shop, but I was there for the exam not the glasses, so not much of a complaint. Deffinitely going back! read more

So I made an appointment to see Dr. Thich a week in advance and confirmed my insurance with the front desk (a VSP customer service rep even called the store to confirm my member ID). I got a reminder email three days before to confirm and to fill out the new patient form. Then a day before my appointment I got a voicemail from the front desk telling me they canceled my appointment because they don't take new members associated with my VSP plan. Thank you AccuVision Optometry for wasting my time. I would of given them 4 stars if they told me from the beginning that my insurance wasn't covered. I will definitely not recommend you to any of my friends and family. Note to Dr. Thich: hire a new front desk/receptionist. One that follows up and doesn't wait till the last minute. read more

I went here coming off of a recommendation from my boyfriend, who lives in the neighborhood. I made an appointment very easily online, and was seen that same week with my first choice appointment time (you pick 3 if you are doing it online). The office is small, but very clean and filled with lots of frames. I don't wear glasses, just contacts, so this review is solely for the exam. I met with the doctor almost straight away, after doing a few tests with the assistant. Everything was explained to me pretty simply and felt very comfortable with my doctor. She was young but very knowledgable. Overall, the appointment was about 45 minutes to an hour, including getting my eyes dilated. Bonus: right next to two great burrito places. read more

A quick update: frames ordered on Wednesday, got a call and email on Friday! Picked up my glasses and I love them. Got built in nosepads for comfort and a better fit. I am really happy with Dr. Thich and staff! They are all very nice but also good at what they do. read more

What a great overall experience at AccuVision. It all started yesterday morning, when I looked at my insurance and selected a provider. I called and asked for the next available appointment as I always do and was given the option of same day service in the afternoon or 11am the next day. I took the latter and gave my details and insurance information. 5 minutes later the admin gave me a call back and said my insurance only covered the glasses/contacts and not the exam and I would have to pay for the exam. I was ok with that answer, then the admin asked if I had health insurance. I told her I did and she asked if she could have those details which I provided her. She called me back in 5 minutes and mentioned I was fully covered for a no cost eye exam via my insurance. Awesome!!! After 10 minutes I was emailed the forms I needed to complete and the option to confirm my appointment. The forms were easy and returned. The experience at the office was outstanding and a 5 star treatment. Dr Thich was there alone and I breezed through the exam and was given the prescription and a few freebees. Dr Thich also gave me my prescription on the spot and there wasn't any high pressure sales techniques. I left happy and the in-out time was about 40 minutes. Outstanding and efficient! I will definitely recommend others to Dr Thich. This eye doctor is on point! read more

Dr. Thich is one-in-a-million. She is caring, gentle, and genuinely cares about eye health. I love seeing her for my yearly exam and she has a variety of eyeglasses and contacts that meet most requirements. Recently, I returned to replace a pair of eyeglasses and it was a cinch because her files are updated (and this allowed for 30-minute meter parking!) as well as an eye check for an irritation. She provided a diagnosis, educated me about the possible causes, and assessed expectations. She also saw me within a week as a follow-up to ensure the treatment worked. Highly recommend! You will appreciate her guidance...and the glass cases of many cool spectacles! read more

Except for the fact that I found out I needed glasses (after nearly 30 years without them), I had a great experience at Accuvision Optometry. The office is stylish and comfortable, and Dr. Amy is very comforting as an optometrist. She has a pleasant and calming demeanor, which helped make the news of my need for glasses less traumatizing. The assistant looked up my insurance while I was there and determined that the exam was covered but glasses would not be. Since I didn't have coverage for the glasses, Dr. Amy offered a discount on this visit to help with the cost, which I thought was quite generous (and also prevented me from looking elsewhere ... good business move). I had no idea what to look for in choosing eye-wear since I have an abnormally small nose and wide head, but the assistant helped me find a suitable pair of specs that seem to fit fairly well. I received both an e-mail and a phone call when my order came in. I'm still not completely used to wearing glasses, but I'm happy with being able to see things off in the distance much more clearly again! read more

My husband and i give dr. amy our thumbs up. I read all of the great reviews here on yelp, and decided that we needed to get our exams and glasses here. i made back to back appointments for the one day off that we have together, unfortunately, after a long morning of sexytime, we fell asleep and missed our 330 400 appointment. i woke up to the call of Dr. Amy's receptionist. I apologized, then dared to ask if we could still come in. She said sure! i was happy. once we arrived, the woman i spoke to acknowledged us and told us no problem. we settled in, browsed their high quality frames and followed through with our exams. It was great. the Dr. read us well and took care of us. afterward, we grubbed down at frankie's bohemian cafe. 100% satisfaction. yay! read more

I've been a patient of AccuVision for a few of years and the service has always mediocre. However, the last pair of classes I bought from there about 2 - 3 years ago were $400 Gucci frames with Transition lenses, anti-glare coating and scratch resistant lenses. The anti-glare coating completely screwed up my lenses, creating a film that no matter what I did, could not get the clean. I will take full responsibility, because I didn't return them right away, but the next time I went in and mentioned it, the receptionist admitted there was a problem with the vendor that made the lenses and offered no resolve. If my problem had been isolated, I could understand, but to admit that this has been a common issues and not my fault; I just feel like some accommodation should have been offered, especially since they wanted me to by another pair of $400 glasses. In addition, the attitudes of the front office staff are very off-putting. While one woman pushed uncomfortably hard for me to purchase a pair of glasses, the other two young women were little or no help at all. Finally, my original appointment was with Dr. Thich at least five years ago, but like a nail salon, I've been seen by anyone that has an open chair. After the problem with the anti-glare coating, I stopped buying frames and only got the eye exam, but I've had enough and will be searching for a doctor that is committed to being my doctor and have a staff that's eager to help and not just sale. read more

Driving from Chicago to San Francisco is tough, and looking for an apartment here is even more stressful. You know what wasn't stressful? This place. I have never felt more comfortable and sure-footed in a setting that required any sort of examination. After my lease was signed, the things moved in, and the bills all paid, I made the startling discovery that I was on my last pair of contact lens. Groaning and cursing at myself for not having bulked up on them recently, I also remembered that my prescription was expired. Double not-coolness. I sighed and went on yelp on my phone to find any deals for examination, and here's the kicker; I don't have insurance. So any sort of deal I could get my hand on was worth a shot. And so I walked. The young lady on the counter is the sweetest person i've chatted with in a long time. She was unsure of whether or not they could take the yelp discount, but she didn't dismiss me for it, just checked in with the Doc. Dr. Amy Thich was knowledgeable, very engaging, and did not mind at all at the possibility that I may be using the results to buy lens and contacts online. I was in and out very quickly, and the discount certainly helped loads. Enjoying my vision visit is not what i expected, but it was a breath of fresh air after the stress that I've been through these few weeks alone. Give this place a shot. read more

This place is the best! I look forward to making Dr. Thich my regular optometrist. Things I appreciate: The location is super convenient (I realize this can't be the case for everyone). The receptionist and doctors are extremely friendly, helpful, efficient, and best of all, competent!! I say this after a terrible experience just a couple weeks beforehand at Pacific Eye Associates... The hours are accommodating - some days Dr. Thich can make appointments after 5, and I choose to go on Saturdays. In the past I've only visited large eyecare centers, but this has provided the best service yet. read more

One word for the first time experience as an international transplant recently moved here - Awesome! From the entire procedure of booking the appointment to handling my interactions to guiding me through eye care preventive methods - seamless and very well done. I luckily did not need glasses but did see a great variety in their store when i was waiting for the appointment... Which also is something i need to mention, i arrived before time and they were more than happy to accommodate me early! Really great experience - will definitely return for my routine tests read more
