    My husband and I just had our first visit with QT Optometry, and it was hands down the best…read moreoptometry experience we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The office has a great vibe -- professional, upbeat, and friendly. The doctor was exceptional. He has an incredible sense of humor that immediately puts you at ease, but when it comes to your vision he is completely dialed in. The technology and equipment are clearly state-of-the-art, and he took the time to carefully fine-tune everything so our vision was exactly right. It felt both thorough and personalized. The frame selection was also fantastic -- stylish, high-quality options you don't typically see everywhere. What stood out most was the attitude of the entire team. Everyone was respectful, encouraging, and genuinely helpful. We walked out feeling not only well taken care of, but truly grateful to have found such an outstanding practice. Our recommendation: give QT Optometry a try -- even if you have to drive a little farther. After this experience, we can't imagine going anywhere else for our eye care. If you're looking for a great optometrist and a team that truly cares about getting your vision right, QT Optometry is absolutely worth the visit.

This place is located in the same complex as Safeway. With that said there's plenty of parking in the area. When you first walk in, you will find a variety of different types of glasses/ sunglasses. The receptionist is located right in the middle and can easily be found. The office has a quirky personality with Pokémon, decorations found throughout! The receptionist was kind and was able to help me get checked in right away. Most importantly, the optometrist was awesome! He was very thorough in his exam which I had a hard time finding locally. He even has a good sense of humor. Overall, if you're looking for a great optometrist, you found the right one! Bonus, they even take VSP!

    I woke up one morning with slight redness in my eye, thought what the heck let me try to put my…read morecontacts in. Bloody murder...sharp pain and major light sensitivity. So I figured I had scratched my cornea the night before while trying to take my contacts out after I had fallen asleep watching tv on the couch. Called my insurance for the closest optometrist around me. I called about five on the list, but no one could squeeze me in. Until I reached this office, they had me in within the hour! Turns out my eye was ok, but just oxygen deprived and inflamed. I'm a medical student so I spend more than 8 hrs studying and looking at a computer. For the last 2 years my right eye has constantly felt tired and strained. I had a sensation like my right eye was being pulled down! All the other Drs I had gone to kept telling me everything was fine and they made me feel like it was all in my head. Since Dr. Fong was so knowledgeable and thorough, I decided that I would give her a try. So I made an appointment for my annual exam for my glasses and contacts. She was able to get me in that same week, which was today. She spent 1 hr and 15 min with me on my exam. I have worn glasses since the 4th grade and over the 22 years no optometrist has ever spent that much time with me. She even used certain tests that had never been used during my previous exams with other Drs. I was so happy to leave there with my new prescription. Dr.Fong was very patient, she truly cared and listened. She actually believed what I was describing to her was really happening. She was very detail oriented and thorough that I know for sure we figured out my correct prescription!! I definitely recommend her.

    Dr. Tina Fong has been my eye doctor since I was prob 12 or 13. Their office gal, Paulette I just…read morelove her. She's awesome. I love getting to chat with her when we go in. Dr. Fong (and her brother, Dr. Huey) is awesome and always has been professional, thorough, and great to my family and myself. I have never thought of ever going to any other eye doctor!!!! I would recommend her office to anyone!!!

    I've had to wear glasses since in elementary school! I've been to many Optometrist offices. And…read morelet me tell you, I truly appreciate how Dr Murphy is so passionate about providing the best care for his patients. The technology used is mind blowing! After receiving care here, I've come to realize how OLD SCHOOL many private offices and even huge retail chains are. "Is one better, two better?" "Here is your prescription"... "Here is an eye drop for that".. "See you next year!". For the longest time, I thought my vision had gotten worse. I was constantly trying to refocus especially on the computer. Come to find out, it was dry eye and my prescription had not changed! MGD!?? Did ANY doctor mention that to me before or ask the questions needed to figure that out?? Nope! I received a Dry Eye Treatment and my world changed. Now I can wear my contacts all day without being blurry or uncomfortable and no more having to blink hard to refocus all the time. They also educated me quite some time ago on the harm light from computers can do to my eyes. "Blue light". Since I stare at a computer all day I have a blue light protector on my glasses. My eyes and head don't feel as achy by the end of the day. Now I'm starting to see all these places promote blue light protection. Sorry people my Doctor was on that first! I also spend about 50 bucks more and get "digital lenses"! The clarity is honestly unbelievable for me being that I have a higher prescription. I'm so impressed with the level of care here compared to ANYWHERE I've been in the last 20+ years and appreciate Eye Designs and Dr. Murphy for changing my life. Forever a patient!

    If I could give this place a negative 10, I would. I've been…read morea patient at Eye Designs Optometry for at least 30 years, and I've never had any issues with the ophthalmologists--the eye exams have always been thorough and professional. Unfortunately, the front office service has gone downhill over the past few years. Because of pricing and the declining service, I stopped purchasing my glasses there. However, after my most recent annual eye exam last month, I decided to give them another try. That turned out to be a mistake. The technician who helped me choose frames didn't listen to what I was looking for and instead kept pushing her personal preferences--mainly designer brands like Gucci and Tom Ford. I clearly explained what I wanted, but she ignored it. I eventually found a frame myself, but the overall experience was so uncomfortable that I left before completing the order. A few days later, I returned and asked for a different technician. I completed my purchase and paid over $500 for my glasses. After waiting about 2 1/2 weeks, I received a notification that they were ready for pickup. When I got there, I discovered the glasses were missing a nose pad that I had specifically requested and paid extra for. When I brought this up, instead of an apology, I was asked, "Let me check if you paid for it." It was clearly on the order and already paid. I was then told to wait for a manager to call me when she returned to work. No one called. I had to follow up myself the next day, and when I finally spoke with the manager, I was given the runaround with no real resolution or accountability. After many years as a loyal patient, this is incredibly disappointing. The lack of customer service, poor communication, and dismissive attitude are unacceptable. I will not be returning. I sincerely hope Dr. Murphy is made aware of how the front office is treating long-time patients.

    They feel like a well-kept secret, being located in the sadly emptying Sunrise Mall…read more Everything was top notch: Affordable eye exam, helpful and communicative staff, and they just happened to have one pair of my desired type: drill-mounted, frameless glasses, which are not that easy to find. This one frame was in my favorite color, very minimalistic like I wanted, and with their fabulous lenses. This is why I don't shop for glasses online: the online outfits don't offer the super duper lenses that JC Penney offer, not only nonreflective and extra thin but an additional improvement that they used to call High Definition (I was a customer of their Santa Rosa outfit previously). Strangely, these lenses hardly even get dirty. I found out that JC Penney Optical is NOT owned by the huge conglomerate Luxottica, which is a huge reason glasses got so expensive. I ended up paying $200 less than I have paid for my glasses in years past! The staff did an expert fitting when the glasses arrived, and I no longer have to push them up my nose.

    I went in yesterday for an eye exam since my vision has deteriorated a lot in the last few years. I…read morehad been putting it off and struggling because I was honestly overwhelmed by having to deal with it. The office was so clean and the staff was wonderful, epecially Maria. She actually made the experience fun and went above and beyond to answer all my questions and explain my options. Not once did I feel pressured to spend beyond my budget, in fact they gave me options that didn't even require me getting glasses through them at this time. But I did decide to get glasses and there was an amazing 2 for $69 deal happening and Maria helped me try on like 30 pairs if glasses to find the ones I loved. And took her time explaining little things that i never knew about choosing glasses and how to avoid things that make wearing glasses a pain. I am forever grateful for them and so glad I chose to go here instead of one of the other choices. They have really excellent choices from their sensible, no frills options to pretty fancy frames. All while being very reasonable to your pocket. Thanx so much. :)
