TLDR: The glasses I got here are the best fitting pair of glasses I've gotten since I first started wearing them almost 20 years ago! I cannot believe I've been wearing ill-fitting glasses for so long when Eleven Optical has been around. If you've got a low nose bridge, almost everything here will fit you so much better than brands that allegedly have low nose bridge styles but they still slide down (coughWarbyParkercough). I also don't really know what style of frames suit my face shape the best, but the super helpful staff here were able to point me in the right direction. Super quick turnaround time as well - I went on a Sunday and had them by Tuesday, but that's only because I needed the 1.67 index lenses which take a little longer and they're closed on Mondays. I think most prescriptions they can turn around within a day, which is amazing. On pick up day, I was able to get my frames adjusted to fit my face. As I understand it, they make as many adjustments as you need if you bring your glasses in. The only minor con is that the parking lot here is the size of a booger, but I was still able to find parking both times. I'll never get glasses anywhere else again! read more

Awesome service. Lots of options for Asian low bridge faces. Michael was so helpful and helped me pick frames that fit my priorities (weight, aesthetics, etc) He clearly explained lens options between blue light filtering high index, etc and what made sense for my prescription Costs are reasonable and best part they were open on a Sunday afternoon and made my glasses for me same day. I was able to walk out of the shop with my classes in 20 minutes! read more

I had an excellent experience at Eleven Optical. Huge shoutout to Michael for going above and beyond--he helped me find a great doctor to get the correct prescription, and then turned around and made my glasses the same day using frames I brought in. Michael was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. The customer service was outstanding from start to finish. It's rare to find this level of expertise, efficiency, and attention to detail. Highly recommend Eleven Optical! read more

Hands down the best optical shop around! After visiting 15+ local optical stores and struggling to find the right pair of glasses, I can confidently say that. One thing that really stood out was the inventory itself. The owner has curated an excellent selection of frames that are stylish, well-made, affordable, and approachable. Through my local hunting I've found that many stores carry very repetitive frame selections. This was the only place that I found fresh, distinctive options that I hadn't already tried on elsewhere. As someone shopping for my very first pair of prescription glasses, I really appreciated how knowledgeable, patient, and helpful the owner was throughout the process. The service was also incredibly fast. I was able to walk out the door with my custom prescription glasses in about 30 minutes. Discovering well-curated options in an aesthetically-pleasing shop, while also supporting a small business was a win-win. I'll definitely be back! read more

Seriously the best selection for Asian profiles! I cant believe I was wearing an uncomfortable pair (ironically from Pair) that was slipping off my face and then causing me headaches after getting them adjusted. You will not regret coming here if you have been searching for glasses for asian faces!! read more

My friend was looking for new glasses and I was looking for some sunglasses so we were looking at different stores and found ourselves here! We never caught the staff members name, but he was super helpful and patient! We were browsing through the store for a while, trying on different frames and he was very encouraging and helped provide his feedback on different things we were concerned about (if the frame was too wide, the nose bridge, etc.) I also liked that, since I believe this is a Korean brand, the frames suited our face shape more than other Western brands. We both left really satisfied that day, me with my sunglasses and my friend filled out an order form for her glasses. He reassured us that we could bring them back anytime if we encountered any issues. read more

The screw in my glasses came out and they literally fell apart! I've never been here before, but I was next door getting boba so I came in and the worker fixed it up for me free of charge! Excellent customer service and I can finally see again. read more

Micheal is so wonderful. I brought in a pair of frames in so I could put in new lenses. He was able to explain to me about what options I had and how it would affect my vision. I walked away very confident with leaving my glasses in his capable hands. I highly recommend this shop and there were also a lot of frames that were reasonably priced! And made for Asian faces!!! read more

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but I had to for Eleven Optical--especially after my experience with Michael! I visited on October 8th after breaking my glasses the night before, and it's safe to say the new pair has been holding up perfectly since. Michael adjusted them so well I haven't had a single issue. I was in a rush since I had upcoming trips that week and desperately needed same-day glasses. I found Eleven Optical on Yelp, and I'm so thankful I did! Michael was incredibly helpful without being pushy. He gave honest advice about frame quality and what worked best for my face shape, and he let me take my time browsing (I was there for over an hour LOL). His patience and professionalism made the whole process so comfortable and inviting. The selection was great--tons of styles and materials--and it's clear Michael truly cares about his craft, not just making a sale. He helped me narrow down my options and explained why certain frames were more flattering or timeless, which honestly helped me so much as an indecisive person. For context: my regular provider takes about 2 1/2 weeks to make glasses, and even with insurance, it's more expensive and that's without blue light protection added. Here, I got my glasses in 25 minutes, with blue light added on, and for less than I usually pay. Unreal. If I could've tipped Michael, I would have. I'll definitely be coming back--and probably for those brown frames next time! I cannot recommend this place enough and I strongly encourage new time comers to give this place a shot. Thank you, Michael, for making what could've been a stressful situation such an amazing experience. read more

Highly recommend this optical service!!! : ) I am so, so happy with my new glasses!!!!!!!!

I don't write reviews often, but my experience here was deserving of one. Everything was so seamless and quick So I stopped by after finding Eleven Optical on a google search since my old frames suddenly snapped on the bridge and I needed an emergency replacement quick. Michael was super informative and even helped me select new frames by breaking down what does and doesn't work with my features, which was extremely helpful since they have such a wide selection of frames. Unfortunately since my prescription was on the stronger side it wasn't going to be able to be done within the day, but it was going to be done the next day (which is still EXTREMELY quick). They did notify me that there was unfortunately a delay with their courier so the frames would be ready in two days instead of the original one day, but their courier went the extra mile and picked up my frames from the halfway point and they were able to get my glasses to me in the original estimated one day turn around! read more

Awesome! I had a great experience with repairs to my glasses! Friendly, fast, and more than reasonable, thank you!

They are so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them!! I came in to fix a pair of glasses and they were great. Thank you 11 Optical!

Thank you for your referral to a caring good optician And for introducing me to a blue light filter on progressive glasses. My vision is more clear and my eyes don't get as tired. That's a miracle. Thank you for honoring my investment ($$) when an adjustment was needed for my prescription. read more

I can't say enough good things about Eleven Optical! My first time having prism glasses and we spent a good amount of time getting the measurements just right. Amazing! Big name places just don't do that. I just picked up my glasses and they are perfect. I will be sending every glasses wearing person I know to Eleven! read more

I have so much good things to say about this place... I had about 6 pairs of glasses from Eleven Optical Michael is so helpful and has so much knowledge... Their glasses lens are very reasonable priced yet best quality I have been over paying at other places for bad lenses I am so glad I found Eleven Optical my glasses took just 30 minutes to be done and it was perfect!!!! I would recommend this place for everyone who wears glasses read more

This is my second time I brought family here using them for same day prescription glasses and they're excellent. Bring in prescription and he does the rest. If you have insurance, he gives you the form to be reimbursed by them at whatever out of network rates your insurance has. It has nothing to do with this place. No insurance or used up the insurance allowance for the year, it's out of pocket. Eleven Optical is on Convoy St., San Diego which is a drive for me but if you want them in a day or two (if your lense is unique and not in stock and have to be ordered), this is the way to go. Both pairs we've ordered were done in about a hour. The first pair from my years pair is still like new after many many years of daily all day use. The stuff the optometrist charge $95 for is included in the lens. It was $100 for lens that includes blue light and anti glare and the price of frames. They have $35 and $$$. He was so very helpful and knowledgeable and able to help in picking out glasses that look great for the face. Lastly, I love how clean it is there. Immaculate. If you touch a pair to try on, please leave on the counter he says so he can wipe/clean them before they go into their designated spots Go to Happy Lemon next while you wait for your glasses and come back to a new pair. There are cases it might take a day or two but he will let you know up front. I love this place and highly recommend them. read more

My son lost his prescription glasses while on vacation. The gentleman was helpful and informative. He had my son's glasses ready in less than 30 minutes, so fast. It was affordable without any insurance coverage. I would recommend this to locals and visitors who need glasses with a very quick turn-around time. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I found this place on tiktok and I'm 100000% satisfied with my service and my purchase! It was quick and easy I got my glasses within 30 minutes of me purchasing I've been looking for glasses to fit my face and this place didn't disappoint every frame in there fit very well. Definitely recommend! I didn't get the worker name but help me so well and made feel confident about my choice read more

My daughters and I went last weekend to look at frames and each of us ended up buying a pair of glasses. Love the frames from Korea as they fit Asian faces so well! Michael is very knowledgeable and super nice! Will definitely be back again. Thank you! read more

Best place in SD to get glasses period. Very friendly service from highly knowledgeable staff and a nice selection of fashionable lenses. What more can you ask for? read more

When our usual place for glasses said, "two weeks", we found Eleven Optical and are thrilled with the choice. He explained everything very carefully, quoted us a fantastic price, and finished a new pair of glasses for us in less than 30 minutes! He may not be that fast every time, but the work is excellent and we will be back! read more

By far one of the best opticals I've been to! They have an amazing selection of frames that fit Asian faces so well! They order their frames from Korea, so they are not only stylish, but light and comfortable and beautiful! Michael is amazing and offers great customer service. He is detail oriented, knowledgeable, and really goes above and beyond to help you choose the best frames for your face and offers valuable insight. The turnaround time for glasses is very quick here and you will not be disappointed with their services! Highly recommend this optical store for your vision needs! There is free parking in the lot (front and back). read more

Michael was great, but the lenses were more expensive, actually, than other places in San Diego. And, they were cheaply cut, the edges were sharp... Would not, to be honest, go back... read more

A couple of weeks ago, I was being careless and broke my glasses at school. I found Eleven on yelp and decided to go and see if they'd be able to fix the frame. Although it was beyond saving, Michael informed me that if I wanted, that he could make me a new pair of glasses with my prescription relatively quickly. I expected to be waiting a couple days (which was what I was used to at other places) but was pleasantly surprised when I was told that he would give me a call in about 30 minutes when my glasses were ready for pick up. I appreciated the fact that Michael didn't try to upsell me on anything (actually talked me OUT of getting something more expensive saying that I would end up paying more for not that much benefit). Instead, he explained why certain options may or may not be better for my case. I'm super glad to have found Eleven and plan to get my future glasses here when the time comes!! read more

Went there honestly guy was nice but quality kinda sucks and overpriced if I'm being honest and I went back to get my glasses adjusted the next day, and funny the guy only pretended to adjust because they were still the same, they looked the same felt the same but realized he wasn't adjusting anything so just said it was fine, but for almost 400 dollars that's the least he could do. read more

Michael was knowledgeable, super helpful, and passionate! He helped me pick really great glasses that suited my needs and had my glasses finished in within one hour. I recommend checking Eleven Optical if you are in search for new stylish glasses. read more

I didn't know there was a glasses store specifically for asian fit and glasses sourced straight from korea!! I am so blown away by the CUTEST glasses with a low nose bridge fit!!! my glasses fits perfectly and I am so happy about the glasses. The owner was so nice and helpful. I've never loved a pair of glasses more in my entire life. The price for my glasses was very fair and wasn't overpriced. This is the best glasses store in san diego! read more

I was in desperate need to find a place that could make my glasses ASAP for a good deal and was so glad to find Eleven Optical! They are right in the Convoy area and I was able to communicate with them through email first to get a quote/give more details about what I needed before actually going in. I brought in my paper with my prescription, selected glasses, and they were done within 30-45 minutes. What is even greater, is that you can chill at Happy Lemon next door while you wait for your glasses(: The guy that helped me was very helpful and I definitely recommend if you are in the area! read more

I recently picked up my second pair of glasses from here, as I last visited 2 years ago for my first pair. Both times, Michael was super kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with me (I can be really indecisive), and I appreciated how he also gave me the space to look around while offering fit/styling tips and recommendations. As someone who has worked at an optometrist office before I can vouch for the quality, prices, and professionalism here, and I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a great experience and pair of glasses! read more

I heard about this shop from a friend who got a targeted Instagram ad for Asian fit glasses, but I didn't realize where it was until I was at Happy Lemon today and suddenly saw the shop! I never noticed it before, but this time I went in to browse. The shop has actually been open since 2019. I usually get my glasses from Plaza Optometry in 99 Ranch Market, and I have a couple Sabline and Karra frames already. The shop is very cute with only Korean brands. The frames on the walls are almost exclusively with nosepads. There are also two tables with more frames, and one table is for Karra and Sabline. The Sabline frames are $30! The Karra frames are $60! These are much cheaper than at Plaza Optometry which buys them through a distributor whereas Eleven Optical buys them directly from the Korean manufacturer. They have lots of frames to choose from. The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. He estimated that for me, the lenses would cost $170 for 1.60 including all the anti-glare/blue light blocking/etc. coatings on top of the $30-60 frames. He also said it's possible to just buy the frames for the listed price and have the glasses made elsewhere. I wish I had come here earlier! But I'm glad I know about it now! I haven't actually gotten glasses here (yet), but I'm sure I'll be back and definitely recommending it to all my Asian friends. Very excited that this shop exists! read more

Friendliest front service ever! I bought a glasses from other brand and need a lens for it. I got my glasses back just in 1 week, and looking so nice. I love it! read more

I chose Eleven Optical for my glasses after reading so many great reviews, and they were all true! I'm really impressed with the quality of the lenses and frame, as well as the amazing service from Michael. Today, I stopped by the store, and even after more than six months, Michael was happy to adjust my glasses for free. Thank you! read more

Went here for a second opinion after visiting costco and getting some questionable help. Michael was immediately available to help and answer the questions i had as well as even pre-filling out the forms for out of network service. Plus he has a cool keyboard. read more

Eleven Optical - Glasses within 30 minutes. - Sunglasses Near Me - San Diego, California

This place is IT. As someone who has worked in customer service all my life, it brings me great joy to know that there are people and businesses like this that go above and beyond. The price, the style, the fit and the ease of transaction was worth the drive from Temecula. There are plenty of choices for frames and plenty of vintage/classic styles - this isn't your every day LensCrafters stuff and the price was very reasonable. To be honest I actually doubted the price was what Michael said it was and expected to see a final bill with a bunch of fees attached to it. Nope. Very honest and transparent and not to mention quick - I got my glasses the day after I purchased them. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Thank you guys. read more

Run by an amazing owner, I have at least 4 pairs from this place. Free repairs if they have the part available too! Highly recommend!

Great selection, reasonable pricing, and lenses that can be done in the same day. Michael was VERY helpful throughout the whole entire process, answered all of my questions, and even gave some great advice on what frames would best suit me! Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I cannot recommend this place enough. I've been struggling with searching for glasses for the past month and this place had everything I could've ever wanted and more :) read more

Eleven Optical - One of the many unique brands that eleven optical has to offer - Sunglasses Near Me - San Diego, California

Michael is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I've gotten two pairs of glasses here in the past two years, they carry glasses that complement Asian faces, all imported from Korea. There are definitely expensive options but also a good variety of more affordable frames. Everytime I've gone, my lenses were made in less than 25 minutes. I recently got a scratch on my lens and Michael replaced it in 10 minutes and matches my other old lens perfectly. I would highly recommend going to Eleven, especially if you're in the market for high quality Korean frames and great service! read more

Where do I even begin? TL;DR - absolutely highly recommend. I broke my glasses on a work day and desperately needed a new pair. Luckily, my friend had recommended this place to me a week prior. I first spoke with Michael on the phone and he gathered my prescription information and assured me this was something he could get done within an hour, so I rushed over there that evening. I got there about an hour before they closed. Note that there's more parking available behind the building. Instead of rushing me since they're about to close, Michael went above and beyond helping me pick out frames that suited my face. This is the only optical store I've been to where all tried-on frames are cleaned and sanitized prior to being placed back on display. A++ for hygiene. After selecting a frame, it took only about 25 minutes before he came back with my brand new pair of spectacles. He made the lens fit so seamlessly that it's currently the thinnest pair I own despite my growing prescription. Although this place was not in-network with my insurance, Michael prepared all the claim paperwork for me, making it a super easy process for me to submit my claim. Overall - Amazing customer service, best selection of Asian-style frames I've ever come across in SD, fastest turnaround time, stop by and you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Michael!! read more
