I brought two pairs of eyeglass frames here for a routine adjustment…read more During the first visit, the staff member adjusting my glasses, Amanda, accidentally broke one of the frames. While accidents can happen, when I asked, she implied risk was minimal "unless you don't know what you're doing." After the incident, she then restated "there is always a risk for things to break." To her credit, Amanda made a genuine, constructive effort to resolve the issue by helping me find an alternative frame that could accommodate my existing lenses, which would need to be recut. If everything went fine from here, I would not have bothered with writing a review. The reason for this review is the follow-up encounter a few weeks later when I returned to pick up the new glasses and pay the remaining balance. I was met with a different staff member or owner this day to assist me. I asked if I could return for follow-up help if I experienced eye strain or optical issues from the recut lenses; her response was unexpectedly confrontational. Instead of addressing a standard customer concern, she took an aggressive, defensive stance, implying that any future issues were solely my responsibility and I should have thought about those future issues ahead. She diminished the situation by stating my original frame (which was only several months old) was "cheap" and already depreciated, stating word to word: "It is our job to help people. But we are not completely responsible for all the issues that happen while we do our job." Rather than engage in this argument, I completed the fitting as quickly as possible, paid for the replacement frame (she emphasized I was getting a very generous $30 discount for the inconvenience - I didn't argue or haggle). Then I just left politely as quickly as I can. After a day of using the glasses, I also realized one of the recut lense has a small chip at the rim. But at this point, I would rather not have any more encounter with this shop. I went to another shop who did the final fitting adjustment for the new frame for me after a trial for a day or so. Throughout this entire process--despite the broken frame, the weeks of delay, and the expense--not once did anyone offer a basic apology. Being treated with what essentially feels like hostility when asking a routine question about lens adaptation made an already frustrating situation far worse. If you are simply purchasing a new pair of glasses from scratch, your experience may be fine. However, how a business handles mistakes and communicates when things go wrong speaks volumes. Even though I won't return, I hope store does better job for future customers and more importantly, hope no one else has my experience.

I recently visited an ophthalmologist with the hope that he'd help me resolve the issue. Long story short, he did not. Not even close. I explained my symptoms to Dr. Wong during my annual eye exam. She examined both of my eyes closely based on my comments and diagnosed the issue pretty quickly. I am so thankful that she gave my poor painful eye the attention it needed. I also really appreciated all the covid-19 precautions everyone in the office took.

I've been to this location a few times before and have had great experiences, but today was an…read moreexceptional one! I came in and was immediately greeted by Samantha. I was just browsing for a new pair because my current sunglasses were getting loose and I needed to find frames that fit my thin and low nose bridge better. I found some frames I liked and Samantha let me try them on in all the colors they offered. After I decided on the colors, I was pleased to find out they were having a buy one get one free sale which I think they had last time I came in. I chose brown and black. When we got to the register we got to talking about my current sunglasses, also from Quay, and Samantha let me know they offer free adjustments for Quay sunglasses if you bring them in! She took one look at how they sat on my face and went to the back to adjust them; in no time she came back out and had me try them back on. She adjusted the sides and the nose pads, and to my surprise, she adjusted the nose pads the complete opposite way than I thought I needed and they fit me SO much better! My mind was blown realizing I didn't exactly need new sunglasses, I just needed them adjusted to fit my face correctly! I did need a new style though so I'm happy I found not one, but two colors in a new style. I also ended up purchasing the cute little black and gold zip up sunglasses case that I could potentially use as a wristlet wallet if I really wanted to. So two pairs of sunglasses, a new case that has multiple uses, AND I my current sunglasses fixed to perfection? Yeah, I ABSOLUTELY got my money's worth here! THANK YOU SAMANTHA! You are a life saver. I was so so so happy with my experience at Quay today :)

One of the representatives, Wendy, was incredibly helpful, as she took it upon herself to bring them to the back and reshape them back to normal. She was very attentive, going back and forth a few times to do adjustments to make sure it fit to my liking. She also offered to replace the nose pads and do a deep cleaning of the lens and frame since there was a bit of oxidization and wear/tear. She helped save my glasses and they definitely feel like new now - I cannot express how thankful I am for such good customer service and is a reason why I appreciate QUAY as a brand ever since I got my glasses from them a few years back.

I'm not even a customer at this store, but they didn't hesitate to help. They offered me a free sample box of contact lenses that matched my prescription, no pressure and no strings attached. I had also checked with Costco, and while they had samples available, they said I could only get them if I placed an order. That would have left me without contacts for a week. This store actually cared and helped me when I needed it. Excellent customer service, and I'm very grateful.

Warby Parker has been my go-to store for glasses and sunglasses for the past 10 years, so I'm…read moregenuinely disappointed to say that my most recent experience has made me decide not to go back--not just to the Walnut Creek store, but to Warby Parker in general. My original order was entered incorrectly as single-vision instead of progressive lenses. After I contacted customer service, Warby Parker acknowledged the mistake and corrected the order at no additional cost. I received a new invoice specifically showing progressive lenses with a $0 balance. Unfortunately, the replacement lenses were also incorrect and I could not see properly through them. When I returned to the Walnut Creek store to have that problem addressed, I was suddenly charged $230 for the difference between single-vision and progressive lenses--the very issue that had already been resolved weeks earlier. What bothers me most is the principle of how this was handled. If I owed $230 when the progressive-lens reorder was placed, I should have been told and charged then. Instead, Warby Parker processed the correction at $0, and only when I returned because there was a problem with those lenses did they reopen the issue and charge me. I've spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to resolve errors I didn't make, including an insurance issue created by the original incorrect order. Customer service has since offered to refund $100 of the $230, but that still doesn't address the underlying issue: I should never have been charged retroactively for an order correction that Warby Parker had already made and documented at no additional cost. After 10 years as a loyal customer, this experience has unfortunately cost Warby Parker my business.

Dr. Ensor is among a very small number in the bay area, who is well versed and equipped in monitoring and in available treatment options for AMD, being on call 24/7 for emergencies in vision changes, and his office accepts medicare and other related senior insurance plans.

Nordstrom itself is still a great place to shop. This review is really for the free styling…read moreservice they offer. I was in need of a professional wardrobe after working from home the last few years. I set up an appointment with a stylist online and she called to ask what I was looking for, my sizes, color preferences etc. I was very specific- I needed an interview suit for my conservative industry, as well as day to day office pieces and shoes. I also said I was open to jewelry (costume - Nordstrom is one of the best stores for costume jewelry that is still high quality IMO). We set an appt and I cane in and she had reserved a large fitting room and had it filled with suits and separates. Everything in row sizes (I'm a 4 or a 6 based on the designer). Nice job of bringing in both high end and more reasonable prices. No shoes, no jewelry, no outfit suggestions. That was the "style" part I really wanted. Basically for a free service it's a nice time saver to have clothes pulled and ready for you to try on. But that's it. I was prepared to spend a lot of money because I hadn't shopped much in a long time and I ended up with a single suit, a blouse, and a random t shirt I later texted the same stylist to ask if she could pull some options for an upcoming wedding I had to go to. Never heard back.
