I have been doing business with Ken's optical for over 20 years now. They do an excellent job! I've always had great service from them. I live over 400 miles away from them now and I still do business there so, I highly recommend them. Scott B read more

Ken's Optical is simply outstanding! Matt and Mercedes went out of their way, to answer any and all questions I had. Great customer service, prices and communication throughout the process. I can't emphasize enough the pricing as well as variety available. A great local retailer, I'll definitely be exclusively be using them in the future for my families needs. Support a local business, they beat the competitors in all aspects! read more

Matt does any incredible job! If you haven't yet, give 'em a try. Have been getting my safety & my casuals here for years. read more

Always excellent and friendly service when I go in here. All options explored for frames and lenses with patience and wisdom. Much appreciated. read more

He's an amazing guy that just knows glasses and he helped me order some new frames for my lenses.. very happy.

Ken's Optical is a hidden gem in Bakersfield. Location is not prime, but not bad. They don't have an on-site optometrist, but they fill your prescriptions AND they use your existing frames, unlike so many other places. In fact, they cut your lenses in-house to fit your frame while you wait. Matt is very accommodating and does everything he can to provide you with the best service - personal and professional. It's tough to find good service these days. They took my insurance which was great also! He took time to educate me on the different types of lenses and answered all my questions. If you are looking to purchase frames, they do have a wide variety but they are somewhat limited to the kinds of brands they carry - they don't carry any high fashion brands but that's a preference rather than necessity. I highly recommend this place. This is now my go to after getting prescriptions. read more

Ken's Optical is the BEST​ place to get your glasses in Bakersfield. I shopped at a number of optical businesses in town. One wanted to "get me into their system" and "have their technician assist me" when I only wanted to look at frames. Another had the audacity to ask for my date of birth just to shop! When they insisted on having my birth date merely to look around, I walked out. No other business has ever asked me for my date of birth simply to shop. Then I went to see Matt at Ken's Optical. Matt was great! He was fine with me bringing in my own frame. The glasses he made are well done, fit well and are much thinner than my old lenses. He is a pleasure to work with. His prices are quite reasonable. Ken's is a long drive from my part of town but it was SO worth the drive. I highly recommend Ken's Optical. read more

I have had my safety glasses made at Ken's optical for the last 17 years, the quality of my glasses was superb, the service was excellent, they are very helpful when you need adjustment or any kind of service, I am sure you can find cheaper place for your glasses, but always remember that you get what you pay. I would recommend this place to anyone that need to have their glasses done. Nhan P. read more

Found them through my work. I went there to get two sets of safety work glasses. The service they provide there is profesional, courteous and comes with no hidden fees. I liked it there so much I purchased two sets of glasses for personal use. I have been in other stores but none come close to the service Ken's optical provides. Kens optical is hands down the bets spot in Bakersfield you can got for glasses. read more

I was EXTREMELY pleased with the service I received at Ken's Optical. A lens on my younger brother's glasses popped out. He's disabled and his regular optical shop was closed - he wasn't sure what to do. I happened to be visiting from Nashville and so I called Ken's and Matt said it would be no problem to fix them. Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable, as was the young woman working with him. He fixed my brother's glasses and then told us there would be no charge! I'm hoping my brother will go to Ken's the next time he needs new glasses. If I lived in Bakersfield, I'd definitely use this shop. read more

I normally don't leave reviews, but felt very compelled to write one on this business. I have been going to Ken's Optical for years and always receiving the best customer service possible. Here recently my glasses became destroyed and had to recently go in to order a new pair FAST because I felt like I was blind. I went in and didn't even mention the urgency of needing them. Matt (seems like he's been there forever) recognized right away the need and urgency for it just by looking at my prescription. He put them in the expedite orders and they arrived 2 days later. Thanks Matt!!!! The only reason I can write this now is due to the fact I can see now. Thank you again Matt for all your help. From helping picking out the right frames, getting them expedited, and getting them fitted. You're awesome man. So again thank you! Randy B read more

This place is great! I recently had cataract surgery followed by urgent retina surgery fur to part of my natural lens breaking off and falling behind my eye. I called to see if they could put a clear glass on my glasses for the operated eye. He said "sure" come in tomorrow.. i will order the glass right now. He fixed it the next day (while I waited "10 minutes ") on top of that he would not let me pay for it. read more

Can't believe this place was not recommended to me before! Been using Vision Essentials for adjustments and yearly glasses purchases, but with my favorite frames going out of stock, I almost had no choice but to throw away my previous set... Fortunately, Ken's Optical is such a nice place that helps with repairs! Matt helped out super quick with a quick diagnosis and I'm happy. Definitely a lowkey place that should be more popular!! read more

I I drove from across town just based on the good reviews and locally own and I'm so glad I did. Right when you walk there is this friendly vibe. He was so nice definitely worth the drive. Highly recommend read more

So I found myself at Ken's Optical yesterday (April 4, 2018) due to being in need of a replacement nose pad for my Oakley Tincup prescription glasses. It had been over 2 years since I had been there last (February 24, 2016) and when I walked in they acted like I had just been in there the other day. They are always so friendly! The reason I was there was my glasses that I bought 2 years ago had lost one of the nose pads and I was hoping they could order me new ones. Well they didn't need to order me any because they had them in stock and replaced both nose pads and wouldn't even charge me. I was there for about 5 minutes (long enough to pick out some new frames - I'm going to go back and get them on Monday) and they were handing my glasses back to me telling me to have a good day! If you ever have need for prescription glasses, prescription safety glasses, or even prescription sunglasses this is the place to go! Thank you again Ken's Optical!!! read more

The service here is excellent! I was referred to this shop through Sam's Club and the service did not disappoint! Will definitely return here for future eye glasses repair and purchases read more

Best eye glasses person in all of Bakersfield. He will take all the time needed to ensure customer satisfaction. In addition, he will take the time to advise individuals such as myself who made the mistake of going elsewhere to get their glasses. read more

Matt was kind, quick, personable and all around awesome! My son's glasses got broke and Matt fixed them while waited. Zoey, Matt's dog, was entertaining and playful, too. read more

Very upbeat friendly and professional. Complete embodiment of what it means to be a true businessmen. Went there to get my old pair of ray ban sunglasses repaired. I wasn't in a rush so didn't really care how long it took, besides the commute is about 24 mins from where I am. With work sched etc it's not easy. Matt got my glasses fixed and looking brand new. Extremely happy and satisfied with how they turned out. It's expensive, but worth it. Yes. Yes I'd come here again cuz it's locally owned and the work Matt puts into his product is stellar. It's solid quality. read more

Absolutely fantastic service! Had a great experience. They are so friendly and helpful, and have a great selection. We were going out of town and were hoping to get my daughter's glasses before our trip even though we didn't think there would be enough time, but the glasses were back super fast, with time to spare. They really go above and beyond for their customers. Highly recommended, you won't regret going here. read more

It is nice to know that there is an optical place in town that gives individual attention and really values customer satisfaction. I am really picky about the glasses I wear and they cut the lenses to the shape I wanted and charged a very reasonable price. My glasses look and feel great. Both Ken, the owner, and his son Matt are very personable and were quite helpful in helping me select the perfect pair. There is no other place in town that I'm aware of that gives this kind of service. Gerry W. read more

Needing a new pair of glasses with a non-allergenic titanium frame with specific dimensions, no one could find a frame that would do. No one except for the people at Ken's Optical. These people truly care about their customers, taking all the time necessary to provide a product and service that is better than anything you could imagine, especially if, as in my case, your requirements are difficult. It took them time and a great deal of research to find the frame that I needed - and they came through! As a lawyer who is known for handling consumer matters, our office has had many complaints about some "El Cheapo" optical companies who engage in bait and switch selling practices and provide inferior products to their customers. I am typing this recommendation wearing the best pair of glasses that I've ever owned, and have a great big THANK YOU for Ken's Optical. H. Dennis Beaver, Esq. Bakersfield, California read more

This place was "hand's down" the best place in Bakersfield for your optical needs. I had checked out Costco, Walmart and also another competitor. I then went on Yelp and saw all the positive reviews for Ken's Optical, I knew I had to at least check it out. I'm sure glad I did. They were GREAT!! They didn't try to over sell. They were honest and the turn around time was exactly one week!!. They also handled all the insurance mumbo-jumbo since I have VSP through my employer. So if you are looking for a nice place and honest people who care about you. Then go to Ken's Optical I can assure you that you won't be disappointed. read more

All of the folks at Kens optical do a wonderful job and provide great service. They are experts on all types of lenses and frames and can manufacture and repair many glasses and lenses onsite. I do not know any other eye glass company that does this or provides this level of service. Fast, friendly and expert service are ways I would describe Kens Optical!! read more

We went to Ken's Optical for the first time today. I wish I had known about this place since I first started wearing glasses. They helped me decide what to do with old frames that I love. I have never gotten help like this before even when I paid hundreds of dollars for glasses. They spent the time explaining what would work and why. Please take your prescriptions there for glasses, you won't be sorry. They even fitted a pair of glasses on me that I have never been able to wear because they slipped off all the time. Thank you, Ken's Optical. read more

I got to Kens optical today. When I got there, he had already closed up. I asked if I could leave my glasses because they needed to be fixed. He said, I'll fix them for you right now! So he took my glasses, opened the store door and went in to fix them. A few minutes later he brought them back out all fixed. I said, how much? He said "free". I'm glad I purchased these glasses from there. Not only are they the best biker prescription sunglasses, he has the best customer service! I recommend everyone to go to Kens Optical for the best service all around. Thanks again! Ruben read more
