Super smooth, efficient visit. The exam felt thorough without being drawn out, and the doctor explained everything in a clear, reassuring way. I never felt rushed, which made a big difference--would definitely recommend if you want a straightforward, well-run appointment. read more

I had an eye appointment exam from Dr. Miranda Cannon at Market Optical in U Village. She was thorough and patient. She found an issue that needed to be addressed by an ophthalmologist and advised an appointment before I used her prescription to order new glasses. I appreciated this advice as it would be expensive to have to replace them in a few months. I recommend her. read more

Both Drs. Cannon are nice people, and it saddens me to write this, especially since my partner and I have been going to Market Optical for decades for our eye needs. In short, I think it's a fine clinic for getting eyeglasses if you don't have an irregular medical problem. I went to Cannon EyeCare for years, and I had my eyes dilated each time. I just happened to go to another clinic (mostly because I wanted Rx sunglasses for sports & wanted them for less cost than what Market Optical offers). The other doctor looked my eyes and identified I have what they call "anatomically narrow angles," which could hinder the drainage of fluid in the eye. This meant I was at risk for increased intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye) and, if severe enough, angle-closure glaucoma. This also meant that my eyes should not be casually dilated (because that increases the intraocular pressure), unless it's deemed medically necessary and the benefits outweigh the risks. The other clinic examined my eyes more closely to determine the extent of narrowing. For now it mostly needs to be closely monitored, but they cautioned against dilating my eyes unnecessarily. The other doctors were also ODs, so I don't think it was a matter of specialty. read more

I've been seeing both Drs Cannon for years and have always appreciated their efficient, kind, thorough approach to our appointments. All my questions are answered, all tests explained. Great experience year after year. read more

Dr. was very thoughtful, explained my options in detail, no upselling. Trust is built over time and these kind of transparent conversations do just that. Will never go anywhere else. She was the best that has ever helped me with eye issues! read more

Dr Miranda Cannon is friendly, very professional and thorough. I have been seeing her for around 5 years. There is no waiting for your appointment and she explains the procedure clearly. read more

He's awesome! he helped me and many others with their eye problems as well that I know. Thanks again Dr. Canon! read more

Cannon EyeCare - Before Dr. Cannon I had an Eye Stye - Optometrists Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

I recently had an eye exam from Dr.Miranda Cannon for decreasing vision.She did extensive tests on both eyes and was able to determine where the problem was.I was very pleased with the way she conducted the exam and would happily recommend her read more

Really refreshing to deal directly with both Dr.Cannons (husband and wife team). Since they are the business owners they are highly invested in delivering really good service and care. They are cost conscious which is highly appreciated in these days of increasing medical costs but also deliver the best that current medical practice offers. My wife and I have been in the care of the Cannons for several years and feel really good about giving them the highest recommendation. read more

Dr Cannon just completed the most comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. I went to their University Village location within Market Optical. He tested my eyes for vision, glaucoma and then offered some great advice on how to deal with dry eye naturally through compresses and massage. I felt like he was very knowledgeable and really cared about me as a patient. I was very impressed and plan on seeing him from now on. Highly recommend. read more

i saw Dr. Mark Cannon because I had what i thought were the beginnings of a stye. Most doctors would have been able to lancet the stye to prevent it from getting larger. I did not realize that since Dr Mark Cannon is only an optometrist he can not do that. Instead what he did was sell me a beauty product and claimed it would help with the stye. The product is called Zocular. it is for dry eyes, cleaning of the eye lids, "The solution for dry eyes--ZocuFoam targets the root problem that can cause itchy, irritated, dry eyes. Ophthalmologist-developed eyelid scrub featuring Zokrex, an advanced okra-based formula with natural botanicals and an activated polysaccharide complex to deeply cleanse eyelid margins, allowing your eyes to feel clean, refreshed, and moisturized. Gentle exfoliant soothes and rehydrates tired eyelids, eliminates buildup and removes eye makeup in minutes. Washes away weeks of oily buildup. Perfect for sensitive skin. A gentle but powerful eyelid cleanser leaves dry eyes feeling refreshed and energized. Your eyes may have an tartar-like biofilm residue that can clog glands and cause irritation. This foam removes eyelid residues, allowing the eyes to feel refreshed. Effective formula developed by an ophthalmologist to address the root cause of red, scratchy eyes. Dermatologist tested. Trusted by dry eye doctors worldwide -- ZocuFoam provides instant relief!" Per their website. it is not meant to help with Styes or the prevention of their formation. He also looked up my copay at the time and determined it was $0. The style proceeded to get worse and he then determined it was "cellulitis". He put me on some antibiotics for it (the wrong kind by the way). At this point he should have realized he was far out of his depth of practice and told me to go to an ophthalmologist. He once again looked up my copay and determined it was $0. He then setup another follow up appointment at their pike place office since he said he had better equipment there to resolve the issue. I said sure since well it wasn't costing me anything out of pocket and i hoped that with his "better equipment" he might be able to help resolve the issue. I went for a THIRD appointment to the pike place office where he once again checked my insurance and my copay and determined it was $0. He did a quick basic exam the same as the first two times and just took some pictures of my eye lid. That was the only difference with his "fancy equipment". Basically he was able to bill my insurance for more money for a procedure that was not needed and did nothing to resolve my issue. I then decided to go to an ophthalmologist where they saw how bad my infection was and determined that I needed surgery to drain the infection. They also determined it was NOT "cellulitis". That immediately helped fixed the issue, they looked up my copay and determined i had one! I paid it there. They did not sell me any products or try to sell me any extra services like Dr. Mark Cannon had been doing the entire time. Every visit with him he sold me something or tried to sell me services or add-ons for $100-400. A lot of which would have done nothing to help me in the slightest. Finally I got a bill from his office for a copay and I was very surprised by that fact since he had checked not once but three different times to make sure i did not have a copay. I then called his office and spoke with him and he gave me some story about how he billed insurance and found out that I had a copay (basically he looked up the insurance incorrectly). I told him that was not my fault and he needed to take care of it and that was that. A few weeks later his wife Dr. Miranda Cannon emailed me out of the blue for unknown reasons. Backing her husband (which of course she is going to do) she is the co-owner of the clinic and also the wife of Dr. Mark Cannon. I found it very bizarre and off putting. Her email also contained information that compromises HIPAA. Basically they are snake oil sales people and i would avoid them like the plague. read more

Dr. Mark was a super nice guy that was willing to accommodate a last minute emergency appointment for me. He was EXTREMELY thorough with his covid precautions, I had a temp check upon entry, verbal screening, was able to wash my hands before sitting down, and watched him sterilize the entire room. I felt extremely comfortable and safe. As for the care I received - outstanding. He really spent time explaining to me my condition and how to prevent it in the future. I felt as if a thorough assessment of my eyes was done and am confident in the course of treatment he chose. I would highly recommend to anyone considering booking an appointment. Side note - great friendly staff as well! read more

One word - Amazing! I came to Dr. Mark with many issues and a very complex prescription. To make matters worse, I had just suffered a detached retina. I felt that my vision had changed because of it, and I was in need of a reevaluation anyway. At that point, I thought I would never regain the ability to see clearly. 1. Getting the right prescription glasses prescription - I HATED my previous glasses from the day I got them (costing $500). But the other place I went said that there was nothing that could be done except to adjust the frames. I LOOOOOOVE my new prescription from Dr. Mark and have not seen this clearly/easily near and far for years!!! 2. Getting the right contacts - I am near-sighted with eyeballs shaped like footballs (astigmatism is the tech term). But, I use a computer all day and didn't want to wear reading glasses at work. He patiently worked with me to tweak the prescription to get EXACTLY what I needed. I can't believe that my vision is now better than before the detached retina! When the retina specialist tested my vision, they said that I should be able to achieve excellent vision again, but I didn't believe them. 3. Looking at the whole eye - I had a very talented retina specialist, but when I complained about pain after the surgery, he said that everything was great and there was no reason for the pain. I suffered for over 2 months. I came to Dr. Mark for an exam for what I thought was retinal pain and possible worse detachment. He looked inside my eyeball AND outside! He figured out that it was dry eye - even though my eyes had been tearing like crazy since the surgery. Who knew that was a symptom of dry eye? He did! He prescribed drops and other natural remedies and I am pain-free with better vision than I have had in years! Added bonus, his staff are all wonderful, friendly and helpful too! I don't remember ever posting to Yelp before, but I originally went to see him after my previous Dr. left Market Optical because of positive Yelp reviews. Thank you all who's reviews guided me back and I wanted to pay it forward :-) read more

Dr. (Mark) Cannon (of Cannon Eyecare) and the staff at Market Optical are awesome, and I'm really relieved to have them as my eye care team. I switched to Dr. Cannon because my former optometrist is located all the way in Mukilteo, where I used to work, and that just wasn't going to work with living in Seattle and working in Bellevue. Although Dr. Cannon did not accept my "discount" (a graceful way of saying shitty) vision insurance, he did print the forms for me to submit a reimbursement claim with them. And to be honest, when it comes to any health care, I would rather go with the doctor that I trust than who is in my network (obviously within reason). And at the end of the day, the cost wasn't that ridiculous. I got a lot of discounts for same-day decisions. Dr. Cannon was super understanding of my dilation phobia (I need to work on this) and let me have my eyes checked without it (we took photos of my eyeballs instead - this is an additional charge of $50). He also warmed me up to the idea of contacts (eyeball phobia) and signed me up for a 90-minute training/care for my contacts when they arrive. Dr. Cannon was also very concerned about my migraine issue, and we discussed several different methods to help lessen their frequency. Honestly, it's one of the first times I've had a doctor really take an interest in my migraines! It was a nice feeling to be able to speak openly with him about all of my concerns going forward. As far as Market Optical, I have always loved this shop. The prices are really high, but the options are unique and interesting. If you have some FSA to get rid of, this is the place to do it! Most of the frames came in any color you could imagine. I can't wait to get my first pair! read more

had a minor injury to my eye and they got me in immediately and took care of me. Great communication, excellent service, wonderful care. highly recommend! read more

This was my first time at Cannon EyeCare and I definitely plan to go back. When I called to schedule an appointment, they were able to get me in immediately. When I arrived, they were very mindful about COVID and the safety of their customers. Dr. Mark Cannon was great in every way -- friendly, thinking of the patient first, not pushy on trying to sell me glasses, answered all of my questions, etc. He even wrote me two prescriptions -- one for my blue light lenses when I'm on the computer and one for my sunglasses. (I don't need glasses for reading or driving.) Thank you!! read more

Dr. Cannon is literally the best eye doctor. He is very professional and patient. He helped me figure out the complicated insurance stuff (don't judge me I'm a dumb college freshman) and he really cares about his patients. Highly recommended ! read more

Dr. Cannon solved my chronic dry eye problem! I was in pain every night from dry eyes despite constant eye drops, warm compresses, and eye massage. He prescribed prescription eye drops that work all day and night with twice daily use. Now my eyes are comfortable all the time, and I don't even think about them. He's been my eye doc for three years, and each year I get a thorough eye exam, and great advice about keeping my ageing eyes healthy. My husband goes to him too, and is a big fan. read more

So for a new patient looking for a new optometrist, DO NOT BOTHER with calling this place. I figured with 5 stars this place would be amazing, boy was I wrong. The gentleman who answered the phone could care less about answering my questions as a new patient. Also, all the other optometrist businesses I spoke were open to answering my questions and even checked my insurance coverage. NOT THIS PLACE, they tell you to call your insurance company and literally tried to deter you by telling you that the exam itself is like $100+ (I don't remember the exact price). Well thank you for deterring me from bring my business to you!!!! I hope you get off your big horse and do business the right way. read more

The Staff at Market Optical, and Dr. Cannon, are fabulous to deal with, they are easy going, and grateful that you are there. I have bought more than a few pairs of glasses from here, its always been a terrific experience. read more

I was worried that since I was the last appointment of the day that I might get a rushed exam. That was not the case at all. Dr. Cannon was thorough, curious and thoughtful. I'll be bringing the rest of my family here! read more

I've had glasses for the last 20 years and over that time I've had countless eye doctors, at chains, local shops, and medical clinics. Dr. Cannon is by far my favorite eye doctor because he's fun, nice, and professional and is good at explaining eye care procedures, like managing contacts while skiing and camping. They have new and clean tools and Market Optical is a very nice shop, which makes the eye doctor experience a lot easier and comfortable. read more

I had an excellent appointment with Dr. Mark Cannon just today! I went in for a lazy eye detection/treatment. I wasn't sure what the condition was called. He diagnosed my issue, and also checked out my eye in general for any thing else. He gave me options for therapy and glasses. And answered all my (possibly naive) questions about whether I may go blind eventually from my condition etc. I loved that he was honest about how a surgery might in fact do me harm. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. He was thorough, and even stayed on late to fax my referral to the vision therapist. :) read more

Dr. Cannon is great; personable, professional, all-around great guy. I have confidence in his experience and training. He listens well and I never felt rushed. This is a 3-star review SOLELY because of the terrible service of the people who answers the phone at the eyeglass business in which Dr. Cannon's office is located. I too was put on hold and finally hung up. I called back and she was snotty, and told me I could not get in for almost two weeks. When I went online to see if I could get in faster, I got in to see him in three days (and this was just to figure out why my new glasses seemed like the prescrption was off -- it was). So, mixed bag, unfortunately. If you can book on line, and avoid the person who answers the phone, you'll have a lot better experience. Oh, and don't even consider purchasing frames there -- obscenely expensive when you can walk right over to Warby Parker and get a full pair for $95. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Cannon. I did not bring my insurance card with me and Dr. Cannon helped me to get my insurance info. Dr. Cannon checked both vision and eye health, and helped me to order the contact lenses. I really enjoyed the experience and recommend it to you. read more

Thorough exam, Very informative, took time for each step to address issues, walked through the results and gave good "homework" to address what I thought were going to be serious issues. It's been three days and already eyes are feeling slot better. read more

The new online scheduling system seems better than what I used last year, but you can still call in to get an appointment too. Dr. Mark Cannon has seen me twice now, and I am very happy with my eye exams. He was very good at explaining additional tests that might be good for me, their cost, if insurance covers them, and so on. I am glad he went over that, and I had one done (photographing the back of the eye) where he found a few unusual things to keep an eye on in the future. read more

I went to Cannon Eye Care because I'd lost my glasses, needed a new prescription stat, and it was nearby. I was very satisfied. Dr. Mark did a thorough exam, came up with a much-improved prescription, and was easy & pleasant to work with. He charges a little more than some others but it was worth it. I will come back here next time! read more

I couldn't even book an appointment. I tried scheduling online but it kept refreshing the form after hitting submit by saying please enter your last name even though I did. Signing in through Facebook didn't work either so I was frustrated with the online booking and I decided to just call. After calling I asked to book an appointment but then I was told to hold, essentially indefinitely so I just hung up. read more

Dr. Cannon is one of the very finest eye specialists in the country, perhaps in the world. I am a professional artist who has always relied on great eye sight until I was diagnosed with a serious disease of the cornea requiring a transplant and then a second one after a rejection. I traveled across the country to specialists who could not seem to figure out how I would ever regain quality sight without extensive experimental measures. In one appointment Dr. Cannon carefully evaluated the situation, decided on an amazing course of treatment and within one week of acquiring new lenses from Market Optical in U.Village, my sight is fantastic. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Cannon and his wonderful team. read more

Cannon Eye Care is a professional and friendly office! My family has been going to Dr Cannon for many years, he has worked with my other physicians to insure my eye care is top notch...Thank you Dr Cannon! read more

Seattle is filled with qualified eye doctors, but what sets Dr. Cannon apart from the rest is his friendly and authentic personality. He is positive, easy to relate to, passionate about his profession and has a great sense of humor. Plus, since his practice is at U Village, why not grab a slice of Delfino's Pizza or a box of Fran's Sea Salt Caramels after your appointment? The staff at Market Optical are patient, efficient and fun. They have a great selection of frames to choose from. read more

Visited Dr. Mark Cannon for my eye exam. I asked ALOT of questions since it has been a while since my last eye check-up. He listened and was able to answer all my questions with thoughtful answers, taking into consideration my situation. He also got be in a new brand of contacts after hearing about my situation, and after setting me up with the new ones, I was so overly impressed at how well they fit and worked with my condition I raved about it to him on my follow-up. He also was able to refer me to a local optometrist that could help me out with ordering the new set of contact lenses and frames. Since the practice is fairly new I couldn't order the lenses directly through him, but once he's all set up and good to go, I will definitely be ordering them through him. I would highly recommend anyone living in the area who needs to get their eyes checked to go to Dr. Mark Cannon in Uvillage. My brother wears glasses and contact lenses like me and I've already told him to go to him the next time he has a check up. read more

I have had great experiences here so far, having had an eye exam and been worked with for both glasses and contacts. Dr. Cannon was friendly, courteous, and professional, and he answered all my questions carefully. I felt like I was in good hands during both appointments and will certainly be coming back in the future. The location of his office inside Market Optical, which I have for several years found to be a great shop, is also a plus. read more

Dr. Cannon was amazing. I was having an issue with eye dryness. He performed an eye examination that did not hurt and was very thorough. He did not try to "sell" me on products and I didn't feel rushed, two issues I had run into at an eye care clinic off Leary Ave in Ballard. He gave me samples of eye drops that really make a difference and suggested ways I could maintain optical hygiene that were simple and could be woven into my daily schedule. ...The location is just next to Lucky and Sephora soooo that's always a plus, too. ;) I am so glad Dr. Cannon and his wife are in Seattle. I'll be "seeing" you next year! (Couldn't help it.) read more

Nice and professional work here. Dr Cannon also gave me lots of useful advice on eyes

I was getting my eyes checked up after quite a long time as I was getting new glasses from the Market Optical. Dr.Cannon was very personable and did a very thorough evaluation and had quite a few suggestions about what all I should be doing to keep good care of my eyes. He ensured I was comfortable and explained about the various tests he was conducting. I definitely recommend his clinic to others looking for a quality specialist. read more

Mark was pleasant and professional and I had no difficulties getting an appointment. Market Optical has always been a great place to buy glasses. I've gone to them for years and have always found the entire staff wonderfully competent and friendly. If I need any tweaking to my frames, I feel totally comfortable dropping in and they cheerfully make any adjustments that I need on my frames. Nothing but good things to say about the business. Jim read more

An excellent experience! Dr Cannon is both kind and professional. He genuinely cares that I take care of my eyes and follow his directions for combating dry eye. It's a warm compress and massage technique that he uses. All this, and I just went in for an Rx for lenses. I appreciate that he looks at me as a whole person, and not just a pair of eyes. I will return when I need care again. read more

I am very impressed with the service provided at Cannon EyeCare. I had an issue with my eye that was red and irritated and I was afraid that I had a scratch. I unsuccessfully tried to schedule an appointment with a few optometrists in the downtown and University district areas. Soonest anyone could see me was 2 weeks to a month (?!). Dr. Cannon's receptionist was able to schedule me for the same day! Dr. Cannon and his staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Dr. Cannon was very thorough with eye exam and was very helpful with all my questions about my sight and insurance coverage. Very happy to find them! Highly recommend! read more
