Patrick is genuinely one of the best. He's helped fit glasses on squirmy little kids without breaking a sweat, fixed frames on the spot, and always remembers us when we walk in. The kind of person who makes you feel like a regular, not a transaction. Kali keeps everything running smoothly on the admin side. She's on top of appointments, insurance paperwork, and communication in a way that's rare. You never feel like you're chasing anything down. Dr. Abiva is thorough, patient, and great at explaining things clearly, especially helpful when you've got kids in the chair who have a million questions (or zero patience). It's a small, independent practice that's been in North Seattle for decades, and that's part of why we love it. No upsell pressure, no corporate vibe. Just really good people who are great at what they do. If you're looking for an eye doctor and optician up here, stop looking.

Frame prices are extremely reasonable as well, not like other opticians who jack their frame prices up 700%. My favorite optician ever!

I am leaving this review specifically about the experience I had getting my first pair of…read moreprogressive glasses here last year--I am sure they are fantastic with regular prescriptions. I got a lot of good advice in selecting new frames to go with my lenses, but very little time (10-15 minutes) was spent taking measurements of how they fit on my face and adjusting them. As a result, the arms were too long for my head and the left lens sat too far away from my eye. (I didn't know this until later.) When I picked up my glasses, I was told to set aside some time for an orientation of sorts to my new progressives, which would make sure that I understood how to use them and that they fit well on my face. This didn't really happen--I was just handed the glasses and a card to read to test them with, without any real guidance. When I expressed that I really didn't think my vision was as clear as expected at *any* distance, I was just told that they had made the lenses correctly according to the prescription, they sat correctly on my face, and it would take some time to get used to them. I was excited to pick up my glasses and left this appointment feeling like I had not been heard at all. I returned 2.5 weeks later after having worn them religiously every minute I was awake. I had gotten a little more used to reading a book with them, but I still found my vision discomfortingly blurry and dissatisfying. I was told that if there was any improvement at all then I should again give it more time. I gave it more time; things unfortunately did not improve. I actually called to make another appointment to redo my entire eye test, but (I acknowledge this is on me) I felt a little nervous about going back again after not having been able to convince them, twice, that I wasn't seeing well. I cancelled the appointment to avoid going through another experience of feeling gaslit. A year later I went back to my former eye clinic in the UDistrict. I had my prescription sent over from Eye Clinics of Seattle; my doctor here told me after scanning my glasses that the lenses in them did not match the prescription that was sent over (lens scanners aren't 100% accurate, but the difference was much more than the amount they can be off). I also needed correction for astigmatism--something Eye Clinics of Seattle had observed, but they told me my eye exam suggested I would prefer lenses without correction. (Again, this must have been on me--I guess I thought option "1" was better than "2" at some point and I was wrong. I don't blame them for this.) I decided to reuse the same pair of frames, and this time the dispensing optician spent 45 minutes with me working extremely carefully to adjust them. They took additional measurements. They switched the built-in metal nose pads for a silicone pair and turned them upside down, both of which made the bridge sit much more securely on my face. They also shortened the arms and put replacement temples on them, bending them meticulously so that they hug my ears instead of sliding off. Finally, at Eye Clinics of Seattle, there was zero conversation about different progressive lens types. I was told they were going to use a "premium" lens and that was that. The dispensing optician at my old clinic didn't have a very high opinion of the lenses I was given, which are apparently made by my vision insurance company and retailers get rewards for dispensing them (I didn't know this). The lenses he recommended were no more expensive on my same insurance policy, have a larger intermediate distance viewing area so it's a million times easier to use my laptop, and have a better antireflective coating (I can actually tell that they clean up more easily than my old lenses). I have now had my new glasses for a week and they are a revelation. I don't even feel like I'm wearing progressives. I can just *see*. Everyone at Eye Clinics of Seattle was friendly and professional, and once again the fact that I spent a year unhappy with my vision was my own fault for accepting the situation and not going back again to get more help. That said, I really can't recommend this place for progressives wearers--especially first-timers who do not know what to expect.

He'll take a closer look at your dry eye issues, give you some concrete recommendations, and tell you about these cool new procedures (BlephEx and iLux) that will change your life. I bit the bullet (they are expensive and insurance doesn't cover them) and I honestly feel like I have new eyes. 100% with it.
