They don't have just your usual bland glasses, there are a great variety of new stylish choices. Some glasses for more bold fashion (see photo) and others for hardy work wear. RJ has a knowledgeable staff and works with multiple insurance needs. We often replace lens, get sunglasses and buy new glasses for what you might spend for one pair in other places. The main thing here is RJ cares about his customers and it seems in today's culture, customer service and nice people are few and far between. Have a great experience when you go get glasses. Go see RJ.

Today I took my daughters glasses in because a screw fell out. They fixed me up in a jiffy. The screw was a bit long si they cut it to fit. I'm not sure my wife understood when I informed her the ladies down at michaels gave me a needed screw and we cut it off when all parties were satisfied. I may not be allowed back unchaperoned. :-(

I actually started going to SLO OC when Dr. Swanson was there and stuck with them when Parreira took over. The whole staff is very accommodating and personable, and the exams are thorough. They also have the option of doing a retinal scan ($40 I think) which is cool. The office has a nice layout and they have a pretty good selection of frames/sunglasses. Another thing I liked and this is a major thing for me with ANY doctor is that they didn't try to sell me random stuff- I was given samples and they didn't try to make me feel guilty when I went to Lens Crafters instead to get glasses (my insurance owns LC's so it was cheaper). Exam lasts maybe 45 min, depending on how much you talk....I like to talk a lot so it was probably more like an hour for me.

I am an extremely anxious person, and I passed out during the exam (not because of anything Dr. Parreira did wrong--she is AMAZING. I'm just a Chihuahua of a person who freaks out at everything haha). She and another staff member helped me come to, and Dr. Parreira was so, so, SO kind and patient and comforting. She got me water and cold towels, and she made sure I felt completely fine before she helped me get back up. I would've been so horribly embarrassed if she hadn't reacted so calmly and sweetly, and we made light-hearted conversation after that helped me get my bearings again. She is a perfect combination of professional, accommodating, knowledgeable, informative, helpful, funny, and relatable. They were even willing to make accommodations so my boyfriend could pick me up if my car needed to stay overnight! Seriously just top quality care here, and I will continue coming back every year (and hopefully I'll be a much lower-maintenance patient in the future!).

Fantastic Costco Eye Care Experience in SLO -…read more Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D. This past Saturday, my wife and I walked into the San Luis Obispo Costco anxious and on edge. She'd noticed a new, growing floater and, after some well-meaning but alarmist input from friends, was convinced vague "flashes" (really just night-driving fatigue) might mean impending blindness or a retinal detachment. We called Friday. They said, "Come in tomorrow." No weeks-long wait. No HMO MD nor triage ER nurse gatekeeping. Just: Saturday, quick appointment friendly. Enter Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D., the weekend relief optometrist who doesn't take insurance -- and who just delivered the most thorough, thoughtful eye exam either of us has ever had. We both went to the University of Hawaii, which was very cool indeed. He just does the weekend and is semi-retired and is a nice guy who takes pride in doing a great job like in the old days. It feels sort of like Costco priced Concierge medicine in a way. To be fair, this is not the same as seeing a MD for potential surgical advice, but it does focus on ruling out the immediate need to see a surgeon. What Made This Different (and Better) Not a refraction mill - This wasn't about pushing new glasses. It was 100% focused on ocular health and our acute concern. Step-by-step, gold-standard eval: Detailed history Slit-lamp exam (used twice) Pupil dilation Retinal photography by tech Intraocular pressure check Multiple angles of fundus viewing Informed consent done right - Every step explained, risks/benefits clear, differential diagnosis walked through out loud. Bedside manner: A+ - Calm, present, zero rush. Made a scared patient feel seen. The Verdict: All Clear No bleed No detachment No urgent threat Just a benign floater + reassurance The Logistics? Shockingly Good Cost $125 total (includes retinal photos -- a $50+ add-on elsewhere, even with VSP) Insurance None accepted -- didn't matter Wait time Next-day, Saturday, appointment needed ER/Urgent Care alternative? Zero chance they'd dilate + image Pacific Eye / SLO Eye wait? 3-6 weeks -- useless for acute concerns Local Context: Eye Care Access in SLO County Specialists are booked solid ERs have no ophthalmology on call Medicare? Great. Spouse without it? Good luck. Costco? Open Saturdays, no gatekeepers, real diagnostics. Pro tip: While waiting 20 minutes for dilation, you can roam the aisles, try all the samples including AG1 samples (tastes like lawn clippings & is priced like Presidential Crypto), or just people-watch. Best bet Kirkland Multivitamins...not Gummies. Gummies are missing vital Thiamine, and Iron for the ladies....not to mention being low on most others. For some reason, random vitamins and minerals are missing in multiple formulations...so one can be forced to buy multiple formulations to cover even basic needs. Weirdly therapeutic.

Eric seemed to be new and Kevin was guiding him a bit. No problem by me. All good. Dr. Lauren Tobin Tackett did my exam. Smart, thorough, great communication. Again, all good.
