Huge shout out to Wayne at the Corte Madera location. After buying a new pair of glasses at a southern California location while on Christmas vacation, I had the frames adjusted at a Seattle store (the lenses weren't ready when I bought them, so they were sent to me in Seattle). The frames were wildly crooked when I got them, and three separate Seattle techs, on three separate visits, tried to adjust them but failed every time. On the last visit I said I wanted to exchange them (it was within the 30 day guarantee period), but was instead ushered to simply adjust them again. Surprise surprise, a few weeks later they're wildly out of alignment again. I was so fed up I almost called it quits, but stopped into the Corte Madera location while in the area and Wayne went above and beyond. His first adjustment was a million times better, but then realized the frames were actually broken, likely by over adjusting them in Seattle. He called around and found the same pair at a store a few minutes away, and within half an hour I had a fresh, unbroken pair of the same glasses with my lenses in them. Above and beyond customer service, and I'm so appreciative. read more

Wow, I've not been to have my eyes examined since 1991 when I had RK surgery. From the moment I talked to Kensey that organized my appointment to the reminder calls the day before then by Mike the day of, I was already primed to having zero anxiety. Mike immediately acknowledged me when I walked in even though he was with another customer. He then brought me to the room to fill out the new patient information form where I met Wayne. Going through all the new technological advanced methods was fascinating, but slightly stressful for me. He was very calm and made me feel relaxed for such a thorough exam. Dr. Timothy Mock was the most impressive professional I've been fortunate to meet since moving to Marin 6 years ago! He has an innate ability to immediately make you feel at ease. His communication skills are flawless especially since I was beyond understanding all the technical terms used during the review of the results of my exam. I actually left feeling empowered with this new knowledge that I can share with others when discussing optical issues. He was so patient in answering all my parochial questions in responding in a way that I totally understood the answers. I have not written a review on yelp in years yet I couldn't wait to describe my experience to others that may have the same type of apprehension with evaluating a personal flaw such as vision. Thank you, the entire staff, for all your sincere professionalism! Sincerely, ~Paul Marmaro Greenbrae, Ca read more

My husband and I have had all of our prescription lenses filled here and bought the frames here as well - midrange for computers and bifocal for general use; I couldn't adjust to progressives, so they gladly refunded that purchase. Every person we've dealt with has been very pleasant and courteous. They've seemed genuinely interested in serving our needs and never pushed high-end frames or special lenses. They gave us all our options and plenty of time to choose. We've been in on several different occasions and each time the staff has been competent, friendly, and caring - and not just to us but to all around us. It was touching recently to see the care they gave to a person who was seriously disable and could hardly speak. They treated him with such kindness and took all the time needed to help him. We love this store! read more

They don't do what they say they'll do. After getting my eye examined, I was told I needed to see a specialist. They gave me a referral slip that was incomplete, and both the Dr.'s office and I had to call multiple times to get the information needed. They'd promised to send me a disk of the images from my exam, and that never arrived. I would recommend going to someone else for your eye exam. read more

I had a pair of glasses made for a pair of frames. The service is fast and efficient, friendly. I'll be back in future.

Very very happy with my experience here especially after my horrible experience at Four Eyes a few doors down. Dr. Ng is very sweet and not pushy. I was able to sign off on the tests I did not want done ( Glacoma ) because My eyes have been hurt before by the air puff and I also dont want anyone touching my eyeball! They have lots of styles and brands for frames from modestly priced , to high end, so there is something for everyone. Staff is very friendly and through , they want to make sure your glasses sit right on your face and you look nice in them. My spouse and I ended up getting 6 pair of glasses between us. I would have given them 5 stars but for 2 things. One, unbeknownst to me , a frame broke when they were putting the Lenses in and they could not find another pair ( Tory Birch brand) After 2 weeks of not hearing anything about any of my glasses ( my husband already got all 3 of his) I called to check on my glasses & they said they called me. ( I think they dialed a wrong # because there was no record or msg from them) So I went in and they called around for me to locate another pair but could not. I appreciate the trouble they went thru to locate another pair for me. I just think they needed a little more follow up when trying to get ahold of someone since accidents like this can occur. The other thing would be to have their chairs cleaned, the black ones. They are gross! Other then that I thank the Dr & Staff for making my experience a much better one then the last place I went to. read more

So, I did some damage to my glasses and found myself in dire need of a new pair in a relatively short period of time. Enter lenscrafters who has appointments available on a Sunday! Whew! Made an appointment online and went in to the location. Spend about 4 hours there, which was a whole lot longer than I thought I'd be there. Turns out on Sunday's they are a bit short staffed, so I had to give them a break for that, but one of the employees was obviously cranky and a bit unprofessional as a result. Luckily it wasn't the doc. She was fabulous! Did all of the eye tests and was offered the opportunity to do an image. Essentially, this does the same thing as dilation, except, you don't have to go through the dilation process, just stick your eye to a machine, and viola, no dark crazy sunglasses for the rest of the day. It took a long time to get fitted for glasses due to the short staffing, but I was able to pick them up a couple hours later and they were ready when I was told they would be ready. They were running a sale so I got 30% off and a pair of glasses and an eye exam...did I mention this was on a Sunday? read more

Superb customer service The most enjoyable eye appointment I have ever had. Dr ng was fantastic and very knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. Top notch read more

AWFUL EXPERIENCE - Actual eye exam was fine but awful follow-up. COULD NOT REACH THE BRANCH FOR OVER TWO HOURS! This is not an isolated event and I would be careful using this group. read more

Horrible, unorganized, incompetent chao every single time I am in Corte Madera store...people seem to have no system.or clue. I had.exam.and ordered a pair of Ray Ban frames - shoulda.gotten them in a couple days. Crickets. Called.2 weeks later -nope not here. Just called one month later and guy on phone can't find any record of the order although I was given a print out of complete frame.and lens package. The frames are listed online - I could have them in 2 days if I ordered myself! What is going on. I need my new.prescription and now I have no confidence that they can even measure lens properly! Seems to be a bunch of misfit toys! The doc is cool but they also dont explain totally separate company and database. F'd up!!! read more

Only if I can give no stars.... horrible service, they've gotten my prescription wrong on more than one occasion. A complete waste of time .

The staff is excellent! They are always so helpful when I'm ordering contacts or in there for an appointment. They are always so pleasant and always try to find the best discounts that they can. Usama has always been super attentive and helpful! read more

I am thrilled with the service and care I received at Lenscrafters. The gentleman that helped me, Mike found the frames I liked at a great price, and I had shopped around! I have really bad eyes with different prescriptions and have had trouble getting it correct for many years. I also decided to get gradated tinted lens and Mike ordered exactly what I wanted. I'm really happy with the result. prescription is perfect!!!! yeaaaaaa read more

Dr. Ng is amazing. She is engaged, knowledgeable and very friendly. This was my first exam in 14 years and a lot has changed for me since my Lasix surgery. She answered my many questions expertly and confidently. I was examined, fitted for glasses and contacts all within 1 hour. The staff were professional, although not as outgoung and cheerful as Dr. Ng. Although, not many people can rival her. She is wonderful! Make an appointment, and you will be impressed. read more

These people are like zombies. I tried for three hours to get a simple DMV form signed. One line. If it was not me I would say comical. Finally I left. Then they called and said it is signed. But they could not mail. Unbelievable. Avoid! read more

I had my eyes examined here by Dr. Hum (who did an outstanding job). Then had my lenses and glasses made from an online source. When I put my glasses on however, something was off. I brought them in to get checked and the frames were a tweaked. Mike and Jim we're great and helped me dial in where my glasses should be on my face, while also giving me thorough explanation of why they needed adjustment and gave new measurements had I wanted them to be redone. I understand some people may be unhappy with their experience here but, my experience was way different. I really believe these folks do have passion for jobs and it shows. Thanks guys. read more

I have been going to Lenscrafters for many many years and have always had a good experience . Today was worth mentioning. They have a special of $99.00 for free frame and special lenses that have blue light protection. Amazing, right! I returned today to have my glasses checked as I noticed the left glass seemed blurry and my eyes felt they were cross-eyed somewhat. Wayne helped me and he was so patient and really checked and thought out different possibilities of why this would be happening. It turned out to be such simple fix. Ask for Wayne for the best service though everyone who I dealt with previously were wonderful too! read more

I bought a pair of glasses with single vision lens but realized after wearing a few days that I should have gotten progressive lenses. I called my sales person Blanca who looked-up my order, checked with the lens technician Jim, and then explained my various options. I could use the same frames, Jim could create new lens to insert, and it could be done in a few hours. I was very happy I had called and got help from both Blanca and Jim to resolve my problem in such a short time. read more

This Lenscrafters is your standard Lenscrafters. What is exceptional is the service provided by Jose Valencia. He goes above and beyond for his customers. He is knowledgable, honest and committed to ensuring you get what you need. read more

I have to rate down my review I previously wrote, due to the fact that I called multiple times in regards to my contacts being shipped to the wrong address and being informed that they would be shipped back to the store. I was told by the manager I would receive a call when they come to the store anticipated to be in store Monday 7/24. 7/25 I call twice to check if my package was in store, the first employee said they would call me back, but never did. The second employee informed me that it was not found and I would have to wait for the doctor or the manager to call me back to tell me where my package was (rather than checking the tracking herself). I received no call from either the doctor or manager in regards to my issue. I call today 7/27 to only find out that my package was delivered to USPS on Saturday 7/22 and I'm suppose to pick them up. It's not a problem picking them up, but not being informed is what's frustrating. If I would of been called back like I was told with proper information, I wouldn't have been as frustrated, and I would of had my contacts by now. I usually have a great experience with this Location, but it's disappointing to have to keep reaching out only to find out it could of been resolved much sooner if someone would of called me back informing me to pick them up myself. read more

Responding to an advert, I visited this LensCrafters location in Corte Madera. There were perhaps two other customers in the store. I was browsing and trying on various frames for at least 15-20 minutes. There were two employees in the store that I could see. At no time did a single LensCrafters employee approach me to inquire if I needed assistance. Geez, had I forgotten to remove my invisibility cloak? Business must be superb if they can ignore customers. Imagine what the rest of your eyeglass buying experience might be, having to deal with such a crass attitude as I encountered yesterday. No thanks! read more

I walked in on a Saturday hoping to schedule an eye exam. Surprisingly, I was immediately accommodated with an appointment in 30 minutes. The doc was really nice and staff were helpful. I got my glasses ordered the same day and they were ready in less than 24 hours since they had my lenses and frame in stock at the store. I would say for someone who needs basic eye care, I would recommend going here. read more

The glasses I got were fine, made within a week as promised. The sales girl that helped me was good at finding the styles I wanted, but I am giving them three stars only. First I got the feeling they were pushing the more expensive options, for the lenses, and giving me a really hard sell. When my glasses finally arrived $500+ bucks later they came in a butt ugly plaid case, when I asked for a replacement case they told me I could buy one. I think for the high prices they charge they could have given me a case that I liked. P.S. I went into Costco optical the next day and they gave me a nice case for free. read more

Wayne is Fantastic. He spent about 30 minutes explaining the differences in lenses, curvature, quality, thickness and much more prior to completing my frame/lenses purchase. He was very comprehensive with his thorough response, and I could not be more satisfied. He exceeded my expectations, and I would happily recommend him to my fellow yelpers. Very pleasant and outstanding individual. Thank you Wayne! :) read more

A year ago the ear piece on my prescription sun glasses broke. I took them back into LC, as that is where they were purchased, and was told there was no way the could repair or order a new ear piece. I was so disappointed. Happened to be in Mill Valley and walked into Rims and Googles...sure we can fix them. In 48 hours my favorite glasses were repaired. I needed to have an eye exam and thought I would give LensCrafters a second chance. Boy was that a mistake. The intake person who was to do the preliminary exam was incredibly unprofessional. It was the first time I have ever had to crook my neck so much that it was painful just to read an eye chart. Later I found out the machine was adjustable. I guess it was more fun to watch someone contort their neck than to tell or show them how to adjust the machine. Never again LensCrafter...sorry but I am unwilling to give you a third chance. read more

This is the first review I have ever written. I hope it is helpful. I have gone here for 5 years. I returned because I am lazy. They aren't bad - not awesome. This time, for the first time, I had insurance. I SPENT THREE HOURS THERE. The man helping me did not know how to apply my insurance. They accept this plan and should have known how to use it! To make a long story short, I figured out half of it for him by reading some simple directions. Then, I asked him to ask someone else for help -- and WOW -- my insurance worked! Aside from this, the optometrist I worked with a month prior (who seemed too awesome to be working here ) had switched me to multifocal lenses. She told me that if they didn't work well to call, and she could help me switch back to monovision. The lenses are great except when I want to watch my child perform in play. Too blurry. So I mentioned this while I was there. Of course they CAN'T HELP ME. I need ANOTHER APPOINTMENT (despite what the first optometrist said). This was during the three hours I was waiting for them to deal with my glasses. SO -- Here is the deal. It seems like the employees just are unwilling or too busy to communicate with each other. If they took the time to do so, they would be better. If you are going in for something simple - you will be fine and think everyone is awesome. If you have a problem/ issue, go elsewhere. This is akin to fast food. read more

Pathetic service I paid for eye exam then went back a few days later for dpd measurement and they wouldn't giv it to me Went down to other store did it in one second. The manager everett was belligerent interrupting rude and threatening. Total waste of money time and clearly no one taking responsibility when asked who is the owner they said no one its publicly traded. Don't ever expect them to help read more

The exam was fine, but don't even think about ordering trials or purchasing. I had to follow-up every single time and they had somehow misplaced my orders. Multiple times! They put you on hold until the phone hangs up. I don't even know how they can hire so many incompetent people. read more

A great location, with good staff, friendly people. Have used both the Lenscrafters and the EyeExam co-located here a number of times and never had any trouble. The obvious negative is that LensCrafters is TOO expensive (I dropped them a star for that) but that's life with modern glasses. Its not like they force you to buy glasses with expensive frames. And they certainly push the extra coatings on you, though again, its up to you to say no if you want to keep your costs down. All in all highly recommended. read more

This location is not striving for the same standards as the rest of the chain. I am not going to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new pair of glasses. read more

Took my money and haven't heard from them for over 2 weeks so far. My lenses were supposed to be here within 4-5 days max, I have a very basic prescription, nothing special to order. And they don't answer their damn phones so I can't even talk to anyone. Have gotten zero updates. This is ridiculous. Guess I will have to go there and break necks. What kind of customer service is this? read more

Run as fast as you can from this store! Yes, the cliché "they will get blood out of turnips" is truly fitting for this LensCrafters. Recently, I was sent by my eye surgeon to LensCrafters in Corte Madera with a prescription stating that the only thing I needed was a revaluation of my reading glasses: all the other tests - glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinopathy, floaters /flashes, etc - had just been performed in his office. The manager refused to accept the doctor's prescription because they wanted to do all of these costly and uncomfortable tests all over again! There is only on rule that need to be apply here: never, ever do business with dishonest people! Fortunately there are plenty of decent optometrists that will do exactly what the doctor recommends. read more

My sunglasses are scratched, i went to find out if they could buff them, NO. Since I have only had the glasses for 8 months, I asked if they could replace the damaged lens, NO Because I did not choose the lens coating when I bought the glasses, there is no replacement??!! What is that about??? Where did I sign any such waiver? A bad experience, and lousy service, they suggested I buy a new pair of lenses for $300! Are they just trying to weasel out of their guarantee that they will replace any problems within ONE YEAR. read more

I'd lost my prescription sunglasses right before going on vacation to Hawaii, and they were wonderful in helping me out with getting a new pair within one hour! They offered no fuss, great customer service, and a solid selection of brands and style. Additionally, when I was in Hawaii, I needed the glasses tightened to my face, and the LensCrafters there took great care of me, adjusting the lenses at no charge. I'm really grateful! read more

I am a fan of Doctor Jeff Iwami. He checked my eyes several times when he was at the Northgate Mall location in San Rafael. He is laid back, very professional and I have always been happy with the results. I cannot speak to the quality of the retail operation at Corte Madera, but if you need to have your eyes checked, I suggest ensuring you are going to meet with Dr. Iwami. read more

I truly cannot understand the negative reviews on here because after my time at LensCrafters in the Town Center I know that I will never have to find another eyeglass store again. I walked in at 9:58AM for a scheduled eye test at 10:00AM to get a new prescription as well as new frames. My eye test began immediately after I finished my paperwork. I was helped by a very warm and knowledgeable lady named Ryan. She took care of the preliminary eye exam and answered all of my questions with poise and understanding. Dr. Ng then walked in to begin my eye test. On a personal I want to let everyone know that very rarely is my energy or passion matched when I meet someone, the optometrist here not only matched but passed me that morning. Dr Ng came in with such passion for Optometry and spoke with such clarity and understanding of the subject matter, as well as being extremely receptive to my questions and concerns. I'm telling you, the love for her job almost makes you want to become an optometrist. She doesn't try to sell you anything but merely lists your options and puts you in full control of your decisions. Later, as I was fumbling through glasses and having no idea of what kind of pair I wanted for my daily activities, Ryan and another knowledgeable employee Rachel both took over 20 minutes going through different pairs with me, talking about the pros and cons, as well as the way it fit my face (I have a narrow one and a big nose). Rachel as well as Ryan were warm and gregariousness and made my time at Lenscrafter's a real experience instead of a cold transaction. Lastly, I was going to buy a used pair of a pair of glasses for about $160 I believe the store manager's name was Amy who took a look at the glasses and decided that they were not in good enough condition and then proceeded to mark the new pair of burberry glasses I purchased to the used price of $160. WOW. It was just further validation of the kind of store they are running here. My glasses were ready for pick-up the same time and they fit perfectly as well as drastically improving my vision in spite of my stigmatism. LensCrafters Corte Madera thank you. This is the place to go for your eyeglass care. read more

I have never been a huge fan of LensCrafters - I've typically walked in and walked out in the past for a number of reasons. Not the case at the LensCrafters in Corte Madera; Jessica helped me find a perfect pair of glasses (and was really honest - she actually noted that a $99 frame looked better on me than a $400 pair), adjusted them to perfection, and made sure I was 100% satisfied with my glasses before I left. I am a fan! read more

The case of the loose screw: LensCrafters is one of the most efficient and reliable businesses you'll find. Great people, excellent service, and follow up care is remarkable.. We have been going to this location for many years. But something happened today that baffled me...still they will get their stars, but I was perplexed. One of the screws that holds the frame together and the lens had been coming loose for about 2 weeks. I would tighten it and it would eventually come loose and the lens would fall out. No damage to the lens. I had been meaning to get to LensCrafters to have it fixed but no time until today. A few days before I dabbed some household glue on the screw thinking that might hold it but, it didn't. I came in and showed them the problem and I was asked if there was glue on the screw hinge and I said yes and explained the problem and could they put in a new screw. The glasses where then taken to a tech and the report was that since there was glue present a new screw would not fit. After I rebutted that the glue did nothing to hold the screw tight, why wouldn't simply replacing the screw be the solution. No solution and no fix. I went to the drug store, bought an eyeglass kit with multiple size screws, found the right one, removed the remaining glue and screwed it in...holding perfectly like I knew it would. I don't know if there is a liability issue and replacing the screw could damage the lens or frame, but it was just very unusual as they go out of their way to keep our glasses in good shape and this item being something so logically simple to repair. Still love LensCrafters and will continue to go there and recommend to all. read more

Jessica is fantastic. She will tell you exactly what you can get with your insurance and what is the best deal. She will also go above and beyond her job description to help you out. Thoroughly satisfied every time I go in. I won't go anywhere else. read more

The only redeeming part of this particular Lenns Crafters is Matt...he is patient, smart and an incredible multi tasker! He has to be as the place seems very under staffed and he tries to help everyone while still giving you his attention! If you are planning on going to this place do not go unless Matt is there! read more
