But then I started hearing about these Ray-Ban Metas, and Kaylee, who works there, came over and totally changed the game. She was super sweet and helped me pick out a pair that not only fit my face perfectly, but also matched my swagger--if I can say that. I thought they looked so good, I wore them to work the very next day, and one of my coworkers immediately wanted the exact same pair. Honestly, I thought that was kind of uncool... but also, that's the point. Kaylee nailed it. She saw what worked for me and clearly, it worked. These glasses made me (and apparently my coworker) look even better. So thank you, Kaylee, and thank you WinkOptics. If you need anything glasses-related..go here. For real.

My glasses came out perfect--I love how they look, and the transition lenses work beautifully.

The team there was incredibly helpful and took the time to make sure I found frames that I felt great wearing. Unfortunately, my experience at the Mill Valley location has been different.

I will continue to shop at Rims & Goggles when I need new glasses, but I plan to visit one of their other locations instead.

We are even more impressed than before, which is saying a lot!…read more My husband was seen at UCSF ophthalmology because he'd had some vision problems that could have been stroke-related and the UCSF ER group was thorough and diligent. UCSF gave him a new Rx for his distance glasses. We took it to Marin Optometry to have new glasses made. When he tried them, they were worse than no glasses or his reading glasses. They checked the UCSF prescription and his previous one. Then checked UCSF's notes. UCSF said he needed a stronger Rx, but the Rx was weaker. Marin Optometry offered to have my husband's eyes tested by Dr. Jean, a proper Rx determined, and new lenses made, all at no charge to him! They really went out of their way to correct someone else's error. We are SO grateful.

This is a hard review to write as I'm not sure how to feel about my experiences here. Yes, Dr…read more Tandrow is very nice and polite and pleasant. But out of two visits for regular eye exams, I had a few issues that just don't sit right. I went for my first exam with him a couple of years ago. At that time I was only needing readers, and after the exam I ended up with my first pair of progressives since my distance vision was also starting to go. And yes, many add ons and the glasses were expensive. Both pairs I ended up buying. As part of the exam he told me that I had the beginnings of a certain type of glaucoma that might need to be treated surgically, and referred me to a specialist. The specialist stopped the exam after an initial look and said it wasn't worth completing the exam. Thank goodness she stopped, because that alone was $350 out of my hsa. About a year and a half later I went back for another exam. He asked about the glaucoma. He said my condition hadn't progressed and no need for a recheck by the specialist. However because of the condition, he'd have to use special equipment to complete the regular eye exam, and was I ok with the extra $45 charge. What was I going to say, I went ahead with it. Although I thought it odd that special equipment hadn't come up the last time. I'm 48 and have presbyopia, and really dislike glasses. I asked him about any and all other options including contacts and LASIK. He said LASIK would correct my distance vision but I would always need readers. He described various contact options but said he didn't recommend any of them. I decided to get a LASIK consultation to correct my distance vision, and the corneal surgeon that I consulted with recommended something called monovision. He said I was the perfect candidate as it corrects one eye for near and one eye for distance to give a wide range of vision, and in most cases people adjust and don't need glasses anymore. He said Dr. Tandrow had written on the referral that he didn't recommend monovision for me, but hadn't even discussed it with me. Turns out it is one of the most common corrective procedures for people with my issues. I asked the doctor if he was sure my glaucoma condition wasn't an issue for the procedure. He took another look and said he didn't see any such issues. Around this same time I started working in the east bay and switched optometrists to do my pre and post op checks as well as a test for monovision with contacts to make sure I could adjust to monovision LASIK. They also confirmed they did not see any kind of glaucoma or any other issues in my eyes. I just had the monovision LASIK procedure done and am reading, driving and functioning without glasses or contacts. So happy! Not sure what to make of my experiences with Dr. Tandrow...

I understood a lot more about my eyes when my exam was over. It wasn't until I picked out a frame that things got a little more frustrating. The staff was really helpful assisting with picking out frames. Once it came time to pay, I was hit with a really expensive bill. I was under the impression my insurance would cover most of the cost, but they had added on so many things to my lenses that my bill came out to $335 (WITH VSP insurance!). UV filter, reflective coating, and something that makes my lenses thinner were all added. Perhaps in the financial district add ons like this are commonplace but I personally can't afford to pay that much for glasses. All in all, it's my responsibility to have gone over the charges but I was just a little peeved that all these things were added on under the assumption that I wanted them and was willing to drop some major cash. Also, it turns out I don't even like my frames (my fault, obviously) and while most places give you a grace period to return your frames, Tandrows does not. So be sure you like them 100%! I just kind of left the office feeling like I definitely should have skipped getting new glasses. Just make sure you take a peek at the things they're adding on to your lenses if you're on a budget.
