I came here to get an eye exam so that I could order glasses online. I was surprised how quick and efficient the exam went. The optometrist was a very lovely woman, and I enjoyed my visit there a lot. I was able to get exactly what I needed, and I was in and out of there in less than an hour! read more

Great thoughtful and personal service. Wonderful range of frame options. And quick to repair glasses when needed.

I recently visited the Eye Care optometry to get my glass frames adjusted after accidentally stepping on them! Alicia and Josue were most helpful. Not only did they repair my main glasses, but also took care of my second pair of glasses. I know that I always am going to get the best service here. It is why I continue to return, even though I have vision care supplement through my Medicare and Kaiser Permanente. If you're looking for a great optometrist, and all the follow up service, this is the place to be. read more

I had the best experience at this office - quick, thorough , in and out exam. The staff & Dr. Avani were friendly, professional, and very helpful with frame selection and accommodating in what I asked for style wise. My appointment started on time after I filled out my paper work. They also helped me review what my insurance would cover and didn't try to over sell me on additional options. read more

Came back here after living in other cities and.....same great service and employees. What does that tell you? They make good money and pay their people well. Very good at what they do. Great selection of frames. Expensive maybe but what is your vision worth? Tremendous service, never rushed, always pleasant and effective service start to finish. read more

Really glad I trusted the reviews on here. I've been pushing off my much needed optometrist appointment for a while. You know how you just get so busy... Anyway, making the appointment over the phone was quick and easy. It's in a great spot, you can go shopping or eating right before or after! Parking is going to be difficult so maybe give yourself a bit of a headstart. I was in early and got all the usual tests done quickly. The staff was kind and friendly. And the waiting area was nice and clean. Music was surprisingly awesome, contemporary, popular stuff. And lots of up-to-date magazines in the wait area as well. You can't get bored. Looking forward to next year's visit! read more

Eye Care Optometry - Optometrists Near Me - Oakland, California

Staff is amazing and so helpful. I've been a patient for years, even through the changes!

I come here every time I need glasses or anyone else that is under me and they never fail to get the job done. Everyone here is very friendly and very nice and will go out their way to make sure your comfortable in what you leave with. They will work with you if you give them the chance. I've loved every bit about my glasses or shades search here and will continue to keep going back highly recommended. read more

Everything went well . Staff is very friendly any ready to help. I like my new glasses.

Dr Moonsamy is the best optometrist I've ever had, and I've been wearing glasses or contacts for 25+ years. Once she was recommended to me and I met her and the staff I haven't looked back. I moved jobs and live through the tunnel, but I gladly travel the distance once or twice a year. read more

I had a great experience coming into Eye Care Optometry recently. The staff was super friendly helping me get checked in and picking out a pair of glasses. Dr. Moonsamy was also great and provided a quick but thorough eye exam. After jumping around from optometrist practice over the years, I'm happy to have found a great place to keep coming back to for future eye exams and glasses. I highly recommend visiting them. read more

Had a great experience here! Dr was thorough, Professional, and friendly. Staff were also extremely friendly and helpful. I will be back. Oh and their frames inventory is very good. read more

Awesome staff, and Dr. Tsai is absolutely the nicest and most thorough optometrist you will find. I love coming here; I always feel like I'm walking into a small (but super fashionable) small town when I come here. The staff always knows you and they really are perfectionists. read more

I've been going here for years. Dr. Moonsamy is amazing and so is all of her staff. I brought my daughter here for her first pair of glasses. Support this local business. I love the fact that they are walking distance from my house. If I'm getting my eyes dilated, no problem! read more

I am revising my review because Neal has went the extra mile to resolve an issue I had. As I always stated, the practice has a great atmosphere, and very endearing staff working here. I had some issues, but Neal placed special attention to my concerns even after an extended amount of time. That shows care and consideration, not just looking to get your money. read more

I didn't even bother to look for an optometrist in SF. Dr. Moonsamy was referred to me by her colleague from Sactown. I drive across the bridge to see her. Then, I would pay the $4 toll fee going back. I do that because she is friendly and inSIGHTful. I would keep coming back to her, even if they raise the toll fee to $5 next year. Seriously. read more

Thank you Yelp! I've been seeing Ursula Moonsamy for over 3 years now and have continuously been impressed by her skill and professionalism. I like how she doesn't force certain prescriptions on you. I have needed to get glasses for a few years now and each time I see her she mentions that glasses would be helpful but not necessary and it is up to me if I would like to start using them. She also is very knowledgeable. In the intake form when I see her each year they ask to list any new medications, I listed one that can be cause for concern as having possible damage to my eye site which I would have otherwise never had known about. She also is very accessible after my exam I still had a few questions and she stayed late answering them. Thanks Yelp for helping me find her and Dr. Moonsamy for your years of great service :) read more

Good spot to have in town. They have a decent selection. My wife and I both use them for our glasses & contacts. Only reasons for two star deductions are, their hours seem to be unreliable. Sometimes you show up at the store and they're just closed. They also often get our contact lens orders incorrect. A bit frustrating. They also tell you that they have vendors coming on certain days and the vendor is nowhere to be found. The latter may not be their fault, but it still reflects on their business. With that said, the do accept VCP insurance! read more

Eye Care Optometry - Frames - Optometrists Near Me - Oakland, California

I've been going here for years and can't believe I haven't left a review. The staff and the doctors here are fabulous. They are always responsive and do their best to help, like fixing my frames for free. Five stars. read more

Such a kind and helpful salesman. I needed a new pair of reading glasses. He showed me all their options and gave me his recommendations. I am very content with my choice. When I need to get stronger glasses, I won't think twice about returning. Also, they are very safe with their covid-compliance. Great experience. read more

I am super picky with frames, especially because I have that Asian facial structure that narrows my search down to a very selective few. This place is really helpful and friendly. I went in back to back within a month about 4 times, to check out their frames because I have an infant with me and my time is limited. They were friendly and chatted with me every time, even when I didn't buy anything. I made up my mind after the 4th time after obsessing over these frames for weeks. Perfect fit and looks darn awesome on me. I've been wearing them all day and they don't feel heavy nor uncomfortable. It truly is worth it to get a costly frames. I already had my prescription with another doctor so I just bought the frames and lens from them and the lens are superior. No glare, anti-reflective and light weight. It did cost a fortune but like I said before, it's worth it. It's your eyes! Oh, and they were also ready for pick up in 1.5 weeks. So fast, I mean who does that? read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars. I've been going to EyeCare Associates since 2000 back when Dr. Osorio owned the business. I loved, seriously loved Dr. Osorio and when he told me he was packing up and moving his family back to Detroit I was disappointed to the say the least. I've seen many an eye doctor in my day since I've been wearing glasses since the 2nd grade. Dr. Osorio sold his practice to Dr. Moonsamy and he promised us, his loyal customers, that we'd be happy. I am beyond happy with Dr. Moonsamy! She is amazing and like Dr. Osorio has insight and information that caters to the specific needs of her clientle that I have never found in other doctors. Dr. Moonsamy's practice is a family practice, her brother and mother work there as well and I feel at home every time I visit. She's smart. personable, informative, and professional. read more

Both my wife and I have been going to Eye Care Optometry for glasses since we moved to Oakland four years ago. We could not be more satisfied with the service and the atmosphere. This time, Jessica helped both of us find perfect frames, very quickly. She is very thorough, and made sure the frames were a perfect fit and style for each of us. After the new glasses arrived, besides adjusting them to fit our face, the staff kept reminding us that we have 90 days to resolve any issue, so please do not be afraid to come in with a problem. We are so impressed with how professional the staff is, how they are so low pressure, and how concerned they were with our satisfaction. We could not be happier. read more

Excellent fitting of my contact lenses. Better than any other optometrist in SF and Silicon Valley. Gentle, responsive, accurate, thorough. So glad to have found Dr. Moonsamy. read more

Needed to switch eye doctors and Dr. Moonsamy was recommended to me. Wow, totally exceeded my expectations. I needed bi-focals, contacts and computer reading glasses. In the past have had problems getting the prescription right. Dr. Moonsamy took her time, listened to all my concerns, did a thorough exam and had suggestions. She is the first eye doctor I've gone to that has actually allowed me to try on multiple different brands of contacts before making a selection. Also explained the different options for computer glasses. Her staff was really great as well, friendly, helpful and attentive. But the main thing are of course the glasses and contacts I got. Again WOW, Dr. Moonsamy was spot on with the prescription so for the glasses and contacts I got, I can totally tell the difference. Love them because they have definitively corrected my vision. So happy now! Thank you very much! Highly recommend! read more

Ursula Moonsamy is the very best. She is super knowledgeable and sincere in her services and truly cares about her patients. Truly caring and thorough and so sweet. Go see her! read more

This eye doc and staff are enough to give myopia envy to the 20/20 crowd. Based on friend Edward K's review, I visited Dr. Ursula Moonsamy for the first time last year for my annual eye exam and got fantastic service. Knowledgeable, thorough and patient, she answered all my questions and offered advice I didn't think to ask. She's also a delightful person -- as are her staff, many of whom are family members, who exude the same warmth and care. Lately I've had to stop wearing contacts due to an eye condition, and decided the occasional Costco pair just weren't cutting it for full-time use. Previous rounds of eyewear shopping have involved trips to multiple stores and an eventual feeling of compromise vs. satisfaction in my purchase. This time I visited Dr. Moonsamy's staff and store, and found a pair I liked in 10 minutes. Alyssia mentioned that the style's special lens treatment would make getting them a ten-day wait. She called Neil over, who checked and said he would rush the order and try to get them in two days. Well, two days later Neil calls to say they're being delivered and I could come pick them up. Dr. Moonsamy and her staff make me wish there was a 6-star Yelp rating. It's rare to find both the level of professionalism and customer service they offer. ***About their posted hours: it doesn't include that the office is closed for lunch weekdays from 1-2pm. Yelp doesn't offer a means to add this to the business info ... so take note if you're planning a lunchtime drop-in. read more

Warning! This is going to sound like a biased review - but if I had a bad employer, you bet your horses I wouldn't be saying nice things about them. At all. So let me tell you this: DR. MOONSAMY IS A WONDERFUL OPTOMETRIST! I have been going to her for the past 7 years. I come in every once in a while to pick up my contacts and for the annual eye exam. I worked there in 2006 and let me tell you - they are just as friendly towards clients as they are to their staff. Behind closed doors, they treated me just like family. Unlike my previous optometrist, who was more like a hi-bye business kind of deal, Dr. Moonsamy takes the time to listen to what you're saying and explains things to you. She'll give you her honest opinion without pressuring you, which I always appreciated. She never made me feel rushed during an appointment even during a busy day. Love this place! PS. If you have trouble finding this place, look for the big green sign that says EyeCare in the front! read more

After shlepping to SF to our old optometrist for well over a decade, my wife and I decided it finally was time to find someone closer to home. The favorable Yelp reviews were compelling. My calls to Dr. Moonsamy's office to ascertain among other things where she earned her degree (U.C. Berkeley School of Optometry) were comforting. Our actual meeting with, and exam by, Dr. Moonsamy, were downright cool. My wife is in the medical profession and highly skeptical of other practitioners. As for me, I had a lingering feeling of loyalty to our old eye doctor. It took about 12 seconds for that to be melted away by Dr. Moonsamy's kindness, warmth, and professionalism. She is that unique combination of being very knowledgeable, a great listener, and very personable. Everyone there also treated us with warm smiles, kindness, and attentiveness. It is a friendly, and not sterile, environment. They had a good collection of frames. We actually commented for the ensuing days about what a positive experience this was and how happy we were to know that Dr. Moonsamy's practice is so close to our home. read more

I don't know who Dr. Moonsamy is but I got a male Optometrist. He was okay, not great but not bad. The selection they had were outdated and small, in my opinion. They charged me $50 for antireflective lens, I came back and showed them a printout of my coverage which states it should have only been $40. They continue to argue that on top of the anti reflective lens it also made it anti scratch (?). Not exactly sure but I was disappointed that they had not mentioned it before. It honestly was only $10 but I didn't appreciate them not being upfront in the beginning with what all my charges were. To add to that, the guy fitting my glasses kept telling me to smile. Ummmm... please don't patronize me. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Moonsamey and her wonder staff, Niel and Alyssia. I met Dr. Moonsamy when she was a 4th year graduate student at the Tang Center in U.C. Berkeley. She was the only one who diagnosed my special and rare eye condition. She diagnosed that I need prism in my glasses. She saved me from a lifelong struggle with skipping the lines when reading. I struggled so hard as a student at CAL with reading because I did not have the proper eyewear. She also recommended the proper lenses for my prescription that makes it thin and light. Otherwise, i would have Coke bottle glasses. I have been her client since 1997. I was thrilled when she opened Eyecare in Oakland. I followed her there immediately for my new glasses. Her brother Niel is also a real sweetheart, just like Dr. M. He takes the time and attention to detail to adjust my glasses. The clinic is also very classy and carries high end designers like La Font, Face A Face, Gucci, Prada, and more. This summer I purchased a limited edition La Font sunglasses with Swarovski crystals that is just gorgeous. Very unique eyewear not found any wear else. Thank you Dr. Moonsamey, Neil and staff for taking such good care of me and my husband for all these years. read more

When I made an appointment, I asked how much the exam costs due to my previous experience of a big surprise that it costs me $240 elsewhere! It turned out that I have a vision insurance that it covers, but would have been $99 without it. The doctor and the other lady who helped me with payments/glasses both were very efficient. The location is convenient and so it worked out well. I look forward to getting my new glasses. read more

Dr. Moonsamy and the rest of the crew here are wonderful. In addition to the excellent customer service, great range of frame prices and styles, and the fact that she's in my provider network, I have to give some bonus points for the following: - They spent 15 minutes adjusting a pair of old frames that I did not purchase there. I totally didn't ask them to, they just noticed they were hell of crooked and offered to do it. - Dr. Moonsamy taught me something new about my eyes! I have some really weird vision issues, which I've always known. I've had ontacts before, and had some issues with them. However, this amazing lady used SCIENCE to explain to me why contacts have not worked for me, which no optometrist has ever done. It was most enlightening, and now I know about the wonders of binocular cell formation. - Also, she's kinda cute. read more

I've had vision problems since I was in 1st grade. This means two things: 1) I've gotten to know many optometrists 2) I really should know better than to treat my eyes so poorly. This is the first time I've felt I needed to recommend an optometrist to anyone who will listen. I love this place and I love the people. Rarely do I meet someone that I feel "gets it" but everyone here is professional, intelligent, insightful, and well-informed. Despite the fact that I utterly abuse my eyes, I'm certain Dr. Wong will keep my eyesight intact for the foreseeable future. SEE what I did there? Yeah you did. read more

This was supposed to be my first review; somehow it was deleted! What I said before the previous write up: DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!! I am pretty sure the doctors here are nice; however the front office is a bit rude. They were short fused until I mentioned Yelp; suddenly attitude changes. (Yeah WHATEVER!!) read more

I have been coming here for several years now. Dr. Moonsamy has a great team. This afternoon at around 2pm I dropped by to get replacement glasses after I lost my last pair. The team quickly helped me choose a new frame, completed the paperwork, and had me on my way in less than 20 minutes. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from Niel on the same afternoon that the glasses were ready. I circled back and was wearing my new glasses by 4:30pm. Niel made my day! read more

First, having known her for at least seven years, I can't help but comment on her charm. I look forward to my regular visits - a first in more than a half-century of visiting eye doctors. But that's an extra. She spends more time with me than any optometrist I've ever seen. If not satisfied with a result, she'll give me the test again. Everything about her work suggests meticulousness and thoroughness. read more

Dr. Moonsamy and her staff are fantastic! My kids both go to her and they both love her. Yes it is my fault my kids have crappy eyesight. My eyesight is the worst ever, but with Dr. Moonsamy, the kids are happy to wear the cool gear that they need. Plus with the kids and the lack of care they have with their glasses, the staff is always ready to help with repairs and adjustments. She is thorough and her staff is very efficient. You won't go wrong coming to Dr. Moonsamy. Plus it's just fun saying her name. Gives my kids a smile every time. read more

My first experience many years ago with Dr. Moosami was awesome. She is polite, attentive, smart, and very pleasing to the eyes! Her services are as awesome as her sense of fashion and how she looks. I totally trust all her recommendations and advice. She cares for your well being, she is flexible with requests, and is open to everything you have to say. She explains everything in detail, and if you don't understand, its not a problem for her to explain to where you can understand. A little bit of history I was with Eye Care when Dr. Osorio was there (more than 10 years ago), and then Dr. Moosami took over all the patients. (I think he was relocating to another country?) I was a little skeptical of the unknown, but my experiences with her and her staff makes me recommend EVERY one to check the office out. (Her staff are all very nice looking also!) They are honest with their opinion on how the glasses look on you, and will take as much time needed to help you pick the right one with your budget. Yes, you are still a nerd. You will just be a nerd with cool glasses. Well... thats better than not having cool glasses. And I would rather have cool people help me than just anyone. With the right pair, you can SEE how cool they really are. Yes, my mother also goes now. read more

I was desperate, I was petrified. Not really, but Dr. Moonsamy saved me from my hideous four-eyed self. I ran out of contacts (how does this always happen to me?) and was forced to wear my "emergency glasses". Picture glasses that have been crazy glued together several times over after being sat on, squished between couch cushions, etc. For extra effect, they sit a little crooked on my face. Or is my face crooked? I can't figure all of this out right now. All I know is that I need contact lenses and I need them now. Dr. Moonsamy's staff treated me like a long time patient, even though I've never been there before. They didn't have my lenses in stock, but gave me a pair to wear until my order came in. Yes, people, GAVE me a pair of lenses. Dr. Moonsamy and staff are my heroes and now I will be glasses-free as I fly around the stripper pole during my lessons with Slinky Productions. Have you ever seen a stripper with glasses? Yeah, I didn't think so. And you won't see us in glasses, 'cause that's how we roll. read more
