I'm new to the area and was concerned I would have trouble finding an optometrist I trust. I'm very happy to have found EyeWish, and Dr. Siu. Every member of the staff I interacted with was pleasant and courteous, and Dr. Siu was very friendly and competent. I felt at ease right away and throughout my visit. I appreciate the hygiene measures taken to keep patients safe. The selection of frames is not large, but it's excellent. I was able to find several things I liked. Highly recommend this optometrist! read more

**This is an update to my first post.** I looked up on line the device Icare tonometer. From the youtube videos it is a different option to drops and air puff in the eye that is done. As well the videos informs the Icare tonometer offers less discomfort to patients for that reason it is considered a better way to do this. Better is a good thing in my book. This office still received 5 stars as they are very nice here. Despite my understanding of modern this office offers good service. On a side note I post reviews to places I and my family go to. Even though some are not my first hand experience. They are important to me as it is word of mouth from my family. I take there experience into account when I need a similar service. read more

I was vastly overdue for a dilation but hesitant to do it as, let's get real who enjoys them? A friend recommend Eyewish to me as the dr is great and they have a retinal imaging technology that they use so that they don't need to dilate you unless they see something that needs further investigating. SO happy to have found them! Will be coming here from now one :) Staff is super nice, dr was great, didn't feel rushed and put me at ease. read more

Everyone at EyeWish is professional, and the service is excellent! I always feel like the doctors really listen to me. And the glasses I've purchased here are of high quality and classic style. read more

Dr. Mantua is so easy to talk to and I feel she really cares about choosing the best approach for me since I wear contacts and glasses. I highly recommend her! read more

I have come to this office since before I could drive! I have always found the staff to be very knowledgable and helpful especially in the challenging frame selection process. There is something about getting an education in frame selection that has really paid off over the years! My friends have appreciated the help too! Also, now my little girl comes here since she was 4 years old. They offer specials too on the retinal test and have strong marketing which has allowed us to keep our costs low by taking advantage of the discounted months - note...SCHEDULE EARLY! Also, they can manage insurance like no other and I have walked out with two pairs of new prescription designer glasses for less than 180 dollars which included all options imaginable. I know it isn't the brand that matters but if you worry about boutique or costs as it relates to eye frame costs just know they blow the others away in town and are less expensive than 20/20 but still carry a wonderful selection. Give them a try - 20 years and not disappointed to date! read more

EyeWish Optometry - Just a quick picture of the glasses I like. - Optometrists Near Me - Novato, California

I have been going to Kaiser for a number of years. Someting told me to get a second opinion. The Kaiser OP doctor told me I could not wear contacts after lasic eye surgery. I was disappointed because i hate wearing glasses. My progressive lens were a problem too. My intuition was correct! Eyewish had new equipment i had not seen before. After my exam I was told 1. my progressive lens my not have been measured right? 2. i was also told it would not be as easy to fit contacts as it was prior to the lasic but it was possible. I have been going to Dr.Pond prior to getting a another doctor in her practice. Prior to having Kaiser coverage. I have continued to go to her office for lens in new frames and to purchase frames. The office staff is helpful, curtious and always gives personal service. I look forward to the getting glasses off my face! read more

Upon finding Eyewish Optometry on a Google search, I visited the office. I arranged for an appointment for the next day to see the doctor. I found that initial visit, and the next days appointment to be very professional, courteous, respectful, and accommodating. At the same time with a very calming, and reassuring manor, from the receptionists to the doctor. I will definitely return for all my eye care needs. Thank you Eyewish! Joe R. read more

Welcoming and professional staff .Dr Pond is wonderful and I receive great deal of education every time I meet with her.

This office has been so accommodating and just tremendously helpful. I was in a bind with having only a temporary contact lens prescription that I was running low on and ironically my glasses broke at the same time. At risk of not having any form of vision correction, I went to the office and they provided me temporary contacts and a temporary glasses fix until Dr. Mantua returned from vacation. They literally saved me!! They were also very informative about my new diagnosis of Keratoconous which is a great relief. Don't hesitate! Go here!! read more

Great Drs. and staff. They couldn't be nicer and more helpful. I was impressed with the testing, equipment and the Drs. explanations with each test. The staff was welcoming from the moment I walked in and at the end offered to help me choose glasses. They even sent me home with Rx for each of my glasses and that was a nice surprise. I would recommend this office to anyone looking for an optometrist. read more

I'm a new patient and I had a fantastic experience. Top of the line equipment with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Pond was very professional and went out of her way to explain what each test was for and what each result meant for my vision. I highly recommend. read more

Very thorough exam & tests address not just visual accuity but all aspects of vision and eye health. Doctor Pond is very knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. read more

I have been a client of Eyewish for a few years now; I've had a few optometrists and doctors in my day. Dr. Pond is one of the most consumate professionals I have ever had the pleasure of being my doctor. These days, when complainning is an art form, its good to give praise when its due. I highly recommend her and her staff at Eyewish. Anthony Barbera - Sonoma read more

My entire family - all five of us - have been coming to Eyewish Optometry for many years. Always the best service. Both Mantua and Pond are the best! Great selection of frames, too!! read more

they are trying to adjust my glasses after a fall. 2nd time today, as it's not that easy, but they were very helpful and friendly and I'm hoping this will do it. read more

Dr. Mantua performed a thorough and comprehensive exam using the latest equipment. She also patiently explained the results. The support staff was great. B.H. read more

My insurance no longer covered my previous optometrist which I really loved. Last year I was forced to go to another provider and I've struggled the entire year with my eyesight, glasses, headaches, etc. This week I went to Eyewish for two reasons - they were covered by my insurance, and had great yelp reviews. I was not disappointed and it was worth the drive to Novato. The front staff are great, but the Optometrist (Dr. Mantua) was amazing!!! I loved her explanations and she was very thorough in listening as well as checking to make sure she was prescribing the proper glasses (given that my previous provider had not!). I will definitely be a long term patient here! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Pond since she began her practice in Novato. She's the best! She is thorough, and explains the condition of my eyes so I can understand it. I would recommend her to anyone with Vision issues! read more

This is the first time I have been to an optometrist. I was a bit concerned as it seemed scheduling was going to be an issue. I was so pleased they reached out right away when a cancellation opened a more convenient time. Lisa, the staff member that helped me, was friendly, efficient and made me feel at ease. Dr. Pond was excellent, thorough and engaged, as well as a pleasure to look at. She seemed happy to indulge my nerdy, medical questions, which made me happy. Eyes are so interesting and this was the first time I got a deep look into mine. I had fun, learned a lot and felt more comfortable and confident about my eyes...the world seemed a brighter place when I was done. I knew what frames I wanted before I walked in and they helped me make clear choices regarding the extras. I was even more pleased that my vision plan was so comprehensive and that I didn't see red when I got the bill. Thanks for a great experience...can't wait to see, and be seen, in my new glasses. read more

Over the 10 plus years I've been going to Eyewish Optometry I've been extremely pleased with the expert care and clear communication from this group of patient centered specialists. Their kindness and willingness to troubleshoot with clear communications keeps me coming back. I would recommend them with confidence. read more

Thoroughly professional, warm, courteous staff and doctors. My insurance doesn't include Dr Mantua, but I am so pleased with her thorough, multi-level exams, her thoughtful, incisive questions, and her willingness to listen to my concerns and give me the best vision possible that I am perfectly happy to pay out of pocket. Excellent frame selection and clear explanations of lens options. Very patient instruction on contact lens care, insertion and removal. read more

Excellent & professional office providing everything you need from testing to glasses. Dr. Pond is awesome.

Great staff, thorough exam and patience explaining all procedures! Highly recommended!

It's a miracle! I finally found an amazing optometry practice and a fabulous optometrist in Dr. Mantua (bonus: we like the same dog breed!) It's also a miracle because I am writing this review without "readers" as I'm wearing my new multi-focal contacts! YAY! I finally got my eye Rx right due to Dr. Mantua and her comprehensive exam. (My contact and glasses prescriptions were WAY off, no wonder I couldn't see very well!) The office staff and techs are great, friendly and professional, take their time with you, no rushing through the process. You leave very satisfied and in high spirits, feeling confident you received exceptional care, and an expert diagnosis and recommendation. They also are very plugged into the community and environment, recycling contacts the proper way and donating eye glasses to those in need. Lucky to have them in Novato! Make Eye Wish your new optometry practice: you won't be disappointed! read more

Docs are great but support team has no idea how to fit frames. Overheated and bent one pair that could never be worn again and last pair fit so poorly when I commented that they were crooked I was told, well they are straighter than they were. Time to find new provider. read more

Whenever you move to a new area, you have to find your doctors, and I am happy to say I have found my Optometrist! Dr. Pond took extra time to explain things to me when I had questions and got me wearing the RIGHT contacts for my eyes. The text reminders also helped. Great place, recommend! read more

I have been going to Dr. Mantua and Dr. Pond for at least 5 years! They are so sweet and always really accommodating. I made a last minute call to get contacts, and they fit me in two days after I called for an appointment! They always have really cute glasses in stock and always trying to get you a good deal if they can. I will keep coming back and will be recommending them to anyone and everyone! read more

Staff was very courteous. I was given great service with a smile. Dr was gentle, respectful, and provided me excellent detail about my eye health. I'm happy to say I've found my new Optometry office for years to come! read more

I am very happy with my experience at Eyewish Optometry. The staff is personable and the doctors are top notch! Dr. Mantua actually caught something in a routine exam that could have eliminated my vision in my right eye! I also loved my most recent visit with Dr. Yang, who explained everything thoroughly. I also feel like they make every effort to make contacts and glasses affordable for cash pay patients like me. Thanks Eyewish! read more

I've been visiting Eye Wish for over 5 years. Both Dr. Mantual and Dr. Pond and very nice, responsive, considerate, thorough, and do care about my well-being. The staff is is also very helpful and patient with me. I ordered 3 pairs of Flexon frames over the years. They are very comfortable, but somehow the bridges between the lenses all broke within 3 months of each other. The staff were able to find reach the manufacturer and had the frames repaired at reasonable cost. Well, one of the pairs had just exceeded the warranty time, but the staff were able to convince the manufacturer to fix it for free. They solved my problems and addressed my concerns. Price is expected as if it were any other optometrist office. Highly recommended. read more

I've had a variety of eye exams in my life, but none as thorough as the one I had at EyeWish. Dr. Cheung was stellar - she spent time diving into every possible angle that concerned me in a kind and patient way. She even caught something no one had ever diagnosed before and gave me new insight into chronic issues. I felt genuinely looked after by an expert and, frankly, wish I had doctors comparable to Dr. Cheung for every other medical specialty. The staff is likewise courteous and warm. Listen, you can get a slightly cheaper eye exam just three minutes away at Costco. I have - and I got the wrong prescription with none of the advanced options, tests, and care available at EyeWish. The approach here is light years beyond, "read these letters with your left eye. How about this? Read these letters with your right eye. How about this? Ok, here's your prescription; get out." Needless to say, I won't be going anywhere else from now on. read more

As I first walked in they greeted me with smiles. The staff is excellent. Dr Mantua is very helpful. For my first eye exam ever I was very pleased. They answered all my questions and more. The staff helped me pick out frames. Thank you read more
