I finally decided that I wanted to establish a relationship with a local professional instead of…read moreconstantly going to those high-volume stores like Lenscrafters or Costco, which are always hit-or-miss but which (I thought) were quicker and cheaper. As it turns out, Dr. Kolarczyk wasn't any more expensive than these other options, and was significantly more thorough. In fact, I found out that I have an astigmatism--slight enough for others to have missed, but bad enough to affect my eyesight. I came back for a second fitting (at no extra cost) of a lens they ordered and... wow... suddenly I could see much better out of my "bad" eye than I had ever thought possible. I highly recommend these folks.

I have been coming here for a few years and have seen Dr. Burke (before he retired), Dr. Yoo and…read moreDr.Lee. The front staff is friendly and helpful, and it's easy to get an appointment. The reason for the four stars instead of five is that I was asked several times (by the staff and doctor) if I wanted glasses as well as contacts. I get an annual exam mainly due to needing more contact lens. I wear only one (mono vision) and have had the same RX for several years. It felt like they were just trying to sell me glasses, when I was very clear I didn't want them. I also don't know why I'm charged for a "contact fitting exam" (~$130 + my "regular eye exam") when I wear the same contact year after year. Luckily, I have VSP and it covers this, but it seems unnecessary to do this unless I'm having problems with my contacts. They did give me samples of my contact lenses since I was leaving on vacation and was running out.

My glasses are several years old; I've had cataract surgery on both eyes; and, although I was not…read morehaving problems, I thought it was time to get my prescription re-checked. I was treated courteously and professionally by the front desk staff, who ran me through a battery of tests. My optometrist was Dr Sandra Chou. Wow. Smart as a whip. Brimming over with energy. Charming. She answered all my questions graciously and intelligently. I'm interested in science and health, and she took all my inquiries seriously answered them comprehensively. She took the time to thoroughly explain the thinking behind her recommendations. As long as I live in Santa Barbara, Sandra Chou will be my go-to for eye work. I have two complaints about the office. They had nothing to do with the personnel. (1) The questionnaire they distribute is incredibly intrusive, asking numerous questions that have nothing to do with eye care. I care a lot about personal privacy, and if the questionnaire had been on the web, I would have gone elsewhere. (2) There is not much space total, and the "waiting room" basically consists of just loitering outside the front door. But they didn't keep me waiting long, and the exam was worth it. Dr. Chou is a huge asset.
