    Cambridge Optometry Palo Alto 5/22/2021
    Grey R.

    Cambridge Optometry .. 5/25/2021 Very much impressed with Cambridge Optometry in Palo Alto. Naturally, it is situated on Cambridge Ave, which runs parallel to California Ave - Palo Alto's second downtown. Accompanied elderly for a new pair of prescription glasses. Researched nearby optometries, and this one topped off the list (thank you yelpers!) The plan was to just come by and check it out. Parking was easy, across the street. There's also covered parking structure available if you visit in peak times. We were greeted by Daniella, and right away, things began to look bright. She's such a good listener! Daniella took her time to explain all the technicalities in detail, in a simple way, and we felt pretty comfortable and confident in our choices. Tried on several frames, chatted about the process, weighed out various options. Signed up! Glasses were ready couple weeks later, and they fit perfectly well. You can always come back for adjustments, if needed. If you're on the market for your new glasses, check this place out, ask for Daniella!

    Dr. Threlkeld is the best!!!!

    I went to pick out new glasses. They had a great selection but on the pricier end with european brands. Very smooth and easy.

I have lived all over the Bay Area and I STILL go back to her. There were a few times I had gone to other eye doctors closer to my place of residence, I still chose to go back to Dr. Lisa. Why? Because of her customer service, professionalism, she's efficient, I feel GOOD when I go see her, and that's an important feeling to have. What's great is that she is very accomodating and getting an appointment in is easy. Sometimes even the same day. There have been a few times when I had contact lens emergencies, and she would leave a few samples out for me until my new orders came in! Isn't that so nice???? No other eye doctor that I've been to has done this for me. It's spring now and my eye a couple of weeks ago had a weird bubble/blister on the WHITE part of the eye (I was rubbing my eyes too hard, yeah gross right?)... I freaked out, thought I had to go to the emergency room, and decided to call Dr. Lisa. She got on the phone w me and I sent her a picture of my eye. She told me it was nothing serious and it would go away on its own with eye drops and a cold compress.. and it worked!! I will say this: Going to Dr. Lisa for yourself or your whole family is a great decision. You will be taken cared of. She takes her work seriously and she has a presence about her that is calming and confident. She has encouraged me to try getting a LASIK consult, and she gave me a few recommendations from great colleagues. I will be doing that soon! (as long as I don't chicken out) Thanks Dr. Lisa for being my eye doctor all these years!!!

Dr. Joy Lam is one of those doctors where you immediately feel like you're in good hands. She's incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and actually takes the time to explain what's going on with your eyes instead of rushing through the appointment. I always leave feeling like I understand my eye health better. I originally came in for my routine glasses exams, and eventually decided to try contacts. If you've ever tried contacts for the first time, you know it can be... a process but Dr. Lam was the best "contact lens coach." She was patient, encouraging, and made sure I felt comfortable putting them in and taking them out before I left. She's also helped me navigate dry eye issues, which can be really frustrating, and I appreciate that she looks at the bigger picture instead of just offering a quick fix. The staff here are also wonderful. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and the whole office has a calm, positive energy that makes the experience really pleasant. You can tell this place is run with a lot of care. I'm really grateful I found Dr. Lam and the team here and would absolutely recommend them.

Before seeing Dr. Lam, my eyes were constantly interfering with my daily life. I was always uncomfortable, and it felt like my red, swollen eyes were the first thing people noticed about me. Since I began seeing Dr. Lam in June 2025, everything has changed. She has been instrumental in helping me find a treatment regimen that actually works. My experience with her has been completely different from any optometrist I've seen in the past. From the moment I sat down for my first exam, I felt at ease. She is warm, personable, and truly takes the time to listen and understand your concerns. What sets Dr. Lam apart is her thoughtful, comprehensive approach to care. She looks at the full picture and tailors treatment in a way that is both personalized and effective. I've tried many of the treatments she offers and have had great success with all of them. Honestly, my appointments now feel like a self-care day dedicated just to my eyes. I finally have a routine that keeps my symptoms manageable--something I didn't think was possible before working with her. Her new Sunnyvale office is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of convenient parking. I highly recommend Dr. Lam to anyone dealing with MGD or chronic dry eye issues--you'll be in truly excellent hands!

She then assessed me again for separate reading/computer glasses.

Recently I became interested in color contacts and she gave me a bunch to try and ordered some free trials for me too. We've been corresponding back and forth about it and I feel that most drs will not not directly correspond back and forth like that but she is hands-on and I appreciate her responsive and the fact that we can use email (as that works much better for me than phone). She is thorough, knowledgeable, flexible, patient and warm. I expect to be with her unless she either retires or I move out of the area!

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I felt compelled to…read morewrite one. My partner and I visited Lux Eyewear in Palo Alto because we needed a simple adjustment on my Matsuda glasses. Matsuda had recommended that we visit an authorized retailer for service, so that's exactly what we did. When we walked in, both employees were already assisting customers who had clearly been in the store before we arrived. We completely understood that and had no expectation of interrupting those interactions. We were greeted, told to look around, and happily did so while we waited. After spending some time looking through the Matsuda collection, it became obvious that we needed assistance. We waited. And waited. What was frustrating wasn't that the employees were already helping other customers--it was that over the next 15-20 minutes, there was never any effort to simply check in with us. At no point did anyone stop for 15 seconds to ask, "What brings you in today?" That simple question would have immediately told them whether they could help us, whether we needed to wait, or whether they couldn't assist us at all. Instead, we stood there for nearly 20 minutes with no idea whether anyone was ever going to acknowledge us. One employee repeatedly walked back and forth with the family she was helping, including bringing them directly over to the Matsuda display where we were standing. We actually had to move out of the way because they were looking at frames in the same area, but even then, there was still no acknowledgment that we had been standing there waiting. Another employee got up from her consultation and walked over to the printer. While she was up, she acknowledged another customer who was browsing glasses, chatted with him for a moment, got him what he needed from a drawer, and then walked back toward her desk. Her chair was positioned so that, in order to get back to it, she had to walk directly toward us. Instead of simply looking up and asking if we needed help, or even acknowledging that we were standing there waiting, she kept her head down, avoided making eye contact with us entirely, and went right back to what she was doing. Maybe there was another explanation, but in that moment it genuinely felt like she was intentionally avoiding us, and it was incredibly uncomfortable. Only after all of that did someone finally come over and say, "Thank you for being so patient. Go ahead and sign yourselves in just in case someone else walks in after you. I mean, I'll remember you were here, but just in case someone else walks in after you." After standing there for nearly 20 minutes, that was honestly the final straw. We decided to leave. I don't automatically jump to the conclusion that poor customer service is discrimination. In fact, I usually go out of my way to give people the benefit of the doubt. But as the only two Black customers in the store, watching everyone else receive attention while we went nearly 20 minutes without anyone making the effort to simply ask what we needed, we left feeling invisible and unwelcome. Whether that was intentional or not, that's genuinely how the experience felt to us. The irony is that we weren't even shopping. We already own Matsuda eyewear. We were simply trying to have a loose screw tightened on a pair of glasses that had been purchased as a Christmas gift. This should have been a quick conversation that took less than a minute to start. Luxury retail isn't just about selling beautiful products. It's about making every customer feel seen, acknowledged, and valued. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience at Lux Eyewear. We left disappointed, uncomfortable, and with no intention of returning.
