I had a great patient experience at Lunettes du Monde. It was my first real eye exam in over two decades so I wasn't sure what to expect. Dr. Dossa's knowledge immediately stood out and her thoughtfulness put me at ease during the appointment. Her explanations throughout the process taught me so much about eye function and health. I'm looking forward to returning to pick up my new frames once my lenses are ready. I highly recommend Dr. Dossa and Lunettes du Monde to anyone looking for an optometrist! read more

I can not say enough about the positive professional experience I have every time I buy glasses from Lunettes du Monde. First class team and women owned! read more

The Best Experience! Appointment with Dr. Dossa and impressed with her thoroughness in conducting an eye exam using newer technology to assess optical matters and providing suggestions for proactive care as a super senior. Bill, a fun and professional, located good quality complimenting glasses and took the measurements. I highly recommend Dr. Dossa's office for your optometry needs. read more

I'd like to highly recommend this business. Yesterday was my first optometry appointment in over 20 years, and I found the doctor extremely professional, knowledgable and efficient. I've developed an area of concern in one of my eyes and received a clear diagnosis and some strategies to address the issue. If you are looking for a great optometry provider, look no further! Everyone at the office was friendly and helpful. read more

Lunettes du Monde Optometry is the BEST. The staff always has warm greeting and are very helpful. The selection of glasses is amazing. Dr. Dossa is truly concerned about our eye help and always has the latest information to share to keep our eyes in the best of shape. read more

I've had two excellent experiences with this optometrist office, and will continue to see them into my future. I've had some horrible optometrist experiences, and Dr. Dossa and her staff were such a warm, friendly and competent contrast. They have the most amazing and stylish collection of frames as well, mostly high end but a great selection of midrange as well.. My out of pocket bill was higher than usual after insurance, but you really do get what you pay for. They do seem to have frames for all budgets. read more

I came in for new lenses for my Swissflex glasses (after being referred to this shop by the manufacturer). When making the appointment I told them what kind of frames I had and they confirmed they accepted VSP insurance and could replace my lenses. When I came in for my appt the story changed and they said the insurance doesn't cover the lenses. I called VSP from the shop to check and they said they would in fact cover the lenses, and just need the optometrist to call for instructions since the frames have a unique lens mount. The optometrist was busy that day, but said they would call to confirm the details and then send the lenses in for replacement. Two days later they called me back and said that while they confirmed the insurance covered the leaves, their lab could not do these types of frames. However, they had another lab that could replace the lenses but wouldn't take insurance and I would need to pay full retail price. This didn't make any sense to me, so I checked with VSP again and they said there are no labs that they are aware of that will not take their insurance payment. I've now picked up my glasses and will find another optometrist to take care of me. Everybody here seemed nice, but they definitely didn't seem interested in my business, perhaps knowing I have a regular optometrist, and was just looking for someone to help me with one pair of glasses. Very disappointing experience. Follow up - I received a call and email from the owner apologizing for the problems. Although they couldn't provide the service originally promised I appreciated the follow up. read more

Very professional and attentive exam and expert care in helping pick out new eyeglasses. The whole experience was delightful.

I'm a fan of Lunette du Monde. Dr Dossa is superior in her attention to my unique vision issues as I get older. She gives me guidance for maintaining healthy eyes as an athlete and I found sports glasses with her help. She helped my teenagers with prescription eyeglasses so they can read better in school. The staff is friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I have spent hours over the years choosing the right frame and they have a beautiful selection, sourced from around the world. read more

For the second time in more than 8 years I wanted to get a pair of eyeglasses. I stopped in places on Madison Avenue in NYC. I stopped in places in San Francisco, Marin County....and then went to my go to... Lunettes du Monde. Not only do they have an amazing selection, but their service on many levels is appreciated and so rare in today's world. They have helped with selection, with problems, finding good insurance, broken glasses and more. I am happy to give them a stellar recommendation and will end by saying GO to LUNETTES du MONDE for your glasses and more read more

Superb selection that is so worth the price. Personable, knowledgeable optometrist listens, explains, and makes pertinent suggestions about both eye health and what looks good. Expert fitting and styling by a top notch, kind optician. The first pair of progressives that I love and that stay on, by choice and by fit. No more at-home frame shopping for me! read more

What a wonderful experience. I actually walked out of this office in a great mood- and I need eye surgery! Visiting a new doctor is anxiety-provoking for me, but I was so thankful for my experience with Dr. Dossa and and the opticians at Lunettes du Monde Optometry. Dr. Dossa is amazing, and treated my acute eye symptoms with the urgency that was needed. She was kind, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful by referring me to an opthamologist for a possible surgical remedy. Her staff is lovely as well. Very friendly and personable, which I really appreciated. I can't wait to pick up my new glasses! (It's so hard to find a genuinely nice and talented doctor since Covid first began, so I consider myself lucky I found her. I highly recommend her office.) read more

I've been going here for a handful of years now, since it's conveniently nearby, but I'm done. The Dr. is just too interested in making money. There's like an insistence from her to buy new lenses or frames and last time I was there, she seemed dismayed that I didn't want to buy replacement frames, so I could use my old glasses until my new lenses were ready. Umm, yea. It's called "saving money." I'm headed elsewhere, even if it means 15 minutes more of commuting. read more

Dr. Dossa saw me on short notice and she and her team provided me with exceptional care!

Lunettes du Monde staff are very friendly and capable. They make you feel like "family". Dr. Dosa is an exceptional physician, who cares deeply about her patients' and their health. She listens carefully to her patients' concerns and advocates for the best patient care. She keeps abreast and informed about the most current procedures and products so that she can keep her patients informed. read more

I'm so happy that Dr. Dossa is my optometrist. The team there is top notch. I've gotten my wife to be a patient and she's thrilled.

Excellent, engaging optometrist. Gorgeous frames, great advice, expert fitting. Best ever by far.

I wrote a review for Dr. Dossa some six years ago and want to update it. It is very easy to use adjectives like "fantastic," "excellent", "extraordinary," "wonderful", "awesome" etc. However, such superlatives are insufficient to describe Dr. Dossa's talents. She is professional and personable in every way! Dr. Dossa not only explains things in a clear and helpful way but also she thinks outside of the box. Dr. Dossa is genuinely, and generously, concerned about her patients' care and demonstrates patience in this regard, taking the time to detail what you can do to maintain your eye health, including diet and supplements. She is thorough in every way! When I started to develop cataracts, she carefully monitored them and eventually recommended an ophthalmologist for me to see, and, should he deem it necessary, do the surgery. She kept in contact with the opthalmologist throughout my check-ups, my surgery, and my post-surgery. They worked together as a team to give me individual attention and continue to do so now, several years later. Dr. Dossa does not provide a one-size-fits-all treatment; she sees her patients as unique and deals with their specific problems in a thorough fashion. She takes the time she needs to answer all questions a patient may have--I had many--and to provide intelligent responses and practical advice. She listens carefully and is easy to talk to and to share confidences about one's health, lifestyle, and personal matters that may influence eye health in particular and physical well-being in general. Her staff is equally generous in their attention, always greeting me with a smile and immediately making me feel relaxed(thanks Bal and Bill!). Moreover, they create a welcoming mini-community where you end up talking to others who are there to purchase Lunette du Monde's fabulous selection of glasses. Dr. Dossa is both a scientist and artist as all good health care practitioners should be, but few achieve. I highly recommend "Lunettes du Monde" for all your eye needs. In short, Dr. Dossa is "fantastic," "excellent", "extraordinary," "wonderful", and "awesome"!!!! read more

Dr. Dossa is an incredible woman. So much care, excellence, patience, kindness, smarts, equipment, and experience. I am SOOOOOOO lucky to have insurance and to have the extraordinary care of her in my neighborhood. If only more women like her felt compelled to study medicine and run a business we would be living in a world where our health care was something were excited about. I have and will share her as a referral with anyone who will listen - and I consider myself extremely fortunate. Thanks so much! Lucy read more

Excellent optometry practice. Dr. Dossa is a skilled optometrist who treats you attentively and always has a tip to improve eye care. Her opticians, Bal and Bill, are also a joy to work with and have a good eye for which frame will complement your style. Speaking of frames, they have an amazing selection! (I'm currently enjoying a beautiful pair of Theo's) Drop by and pay them a visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

If you are looking for cool, unique or fun frames Lunettes is the place to go. I have worn glasses most of my life and do not want to look like everyone else. When walking around 4th street in Berkeley, my attention was captured by the bright colors and unique styles of the glass frames in the window. Going into the shop I was dazzled by the variety and colors of the frames. I have purchase two frames from Lunettes. I have been more than happy with both pair. Though not inexpensive, they fit well and are different. I have a small face and Lunettes have a good selection of frames that fit my face and do. It make me look like an bug or alien. If you are looking for something different in frames, Lunettes is the place to look. They also take Vision Service Plan insurance. read more

Dr. Dossa has great bedside manner and the lenses in her office are fun and stylish! Her staff is also great!

I've been quite happy with Dr. Dossa and the staff at Lunettes du Monde. I'm getting great care, she's thorough. Lunette du Monde is not close to my home, there are plenty of practices closer, but I think the drive is well worth it. read more

I've had to wear glasses since I was about 10, and I've seen a lot of optometrists over the years. Dr Dossa has probably been the best. I've been going to her for the last 3 years. She takes the time to get to know your vision history and listens to all of your concerns. She has lots of helpful advice and is very knowledgeable and professional. She also takes the time to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. And she doesn't miss anything! There was a change in my right eye that warranted some investigation and she explained everything to me and wrote up a note so I could get a referral at Kaiser. I didn't even need the referral to see a specialist, but that was very helpful nonetheless. Her staff is also great! They really helped me to find the perfect frames and are so patient while I try on basically every single pair in the office lol. Thanks for taking such good care of my eyes! I'm glad I dragged my husband in to see you too. There are so many beautiful frames for every face. Lots of unique options with fun shapes and bright colors. Or if you're like my husband, you can pick out a boring pair of rectangular glasses in matte black that are basically exactly like your previous pair. Whatever makes you happy. We all deserve love. It is worth mentioning that the location of this office is amazing too. Right off 4th Street so you can visit the new Amazon store or get Peet's coffee while you wait for your spouse to finish their exam. Then when you're done you can get a piece of flourless chocolate cake at Bette's to go. Or not! You do you. This is your adventure. Also Saturday appointments. Also Sunday appointments. For reals people. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

It's always fun to see what Faisa Dosa has on her shelves. I've found some unusual frames over the years and am always complimented on them. The staff is so knowledgable and helpful. Bal has an eye for fashion that extends in every direction, and will be completely honest in her appraisals--for which I am grateful. read more

This doctor truly cares about the health of your eyes. She's driven by her need to get to the root of problems, and willingly explains exactly what is happening, is transparent about possible solutions, and gladly answers all of your questions. She stays on top of all technology and only offers those that truly help. In addition to her professional practice, the frame selection totally soars above other options. read more

Dr. Dossa is the most caring, patient, compassionate doctor I know. She never rushes me through an appointment, and is incredibly thorough (and geeks out in the best possible way about all of her amazing diagnostic tools). She's a great listener and responds well to my needs / concerns (ie, works with me to find a good solution for me, when I'm apprehensive about a course of treatment). And she has a fabulous team and eyewear selection to boot! read more

I tried a number of places before seeing the optometrist here and ordering lenses with frames. I'm happy with the frames they helped me pick out and with the lenses. And their service and responsiveness to their customers is unparalleled. I can't praise them highly enough. Everyone affiliated with Lunettes is terrific. read more

I've been coming to Lunettes du Monde for several years. Dr. Dossa is very thorough, and she explains everything she's doing. She noticed a tiny tear in my retina and referred me to a retina specialist who was quite surprised she even saw it! They seem to have the most up-to-date diagnostic tools and the staff is great as well. Highly recommend. read more

"I called the day before to confirm their operating hours and spoke with the Optometrist (Dossa), mentioning my previous purchases and explaining I was browsing for frames on this occasion. Despite this, the Optometrist scheduled an appointment without my consent via text. When I visited the next day and clarified that I was only looking at frames, her attitude changed drastically; She became rude, dismissive, confrontational, and condescending. Uncomfortable with her unprofessional behavior, I decided to leave. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this business. She left me with the impression that her level of service was directly related to the amount of money she perceived she could earn from my visit. #0Stars. read more

Lunettes is such a wonderful business! The doc and everyone working there were incredibly friendly and professional, the tech they used was new, and I felt like my eye exam was more thorough here than other places I've gone. I definitely recommend. read more

You should know, if you don't, that they have the coolest selection of frames around. Now that that is out of the way. . . The staff here are stellar. They aren't interested in rushing you. They aren't pushy. They are quite the opposite. They are attentive and do their best to really help you find what you need. I needed an eye exam, I got one. The entire time questions about my life , my work, we're incorporated in the exam. I was impressed that my daily routines and needs were take into consideration. This was the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. I wore my new glasses for a week, progressives, they were slightly off most likely due to the lab work. I brought them back and they spent a long time making sure that they could make the corrections needed and sent them off to the lab to have the lenses corrected. Again, no rush, total attentiveness. Bill is epic at setting you up with your new frames making sure you get the fit you need. He has a lot of knowledge and experience. It shows. I mentioned that I have noticed dry eyes and they were quick to recommend some eye drops and give me samples. I tried one when I got home and it made a huge difference. I can't say enough nice things about every single person that works there. They have a lifetime customer with me and my entire family. read more

There are two reasons why I think Lunettes du Monde Optometry is the best. (1) They are the ONLY place that has frames that fit my face. I have close-set eyes and have struggled with finding frames that fit and look good. (2) The opticians are amazing - they are friendly and honest and will bend over backwards to ensure you have frames that you love. My only "issue" with the practice is that they don't take my insurance, but that has more to do with the cheapness of my employer. I opted to get my eyes checked within my network but had my prescription filled here. Lunettes du Monde frame selection is just that amazing! I'm willing to spend a little more and go out of my network to get a pair of glasses that I will be very happy with for a long time. I purchased my last set of frames with them several years ago and I just recently got a new pair. But this time I was even more blown away with the service I received -- Blown. Away. The optician (I think her name is Bal) really bent over backwards for me to make sure my prescription was filled correctly. It's so refreshing to have such good service nowadays. I highly recommend this optometry practice. read more

Dr. Dossa always provides great care. Many thanks to her proactive approach with issues for my husband we actually uncovered that he had a more serious health condition. She is very proactive and very caring towards her patients. Her staff is always very friendly and helpful as well. We gladly travel from San Ramon to Berkeley for our eye exams. read more

Dr. Dossa has been my optometrist for three years now; I lucked into her (probably through Yelp) after moving to the area. Her active, inquisitive, and caring approach to eye care has been a breath of fresh air -- she asked more questions and made more suggestions in my first visit than my prior optometrist did in ten years. As a result, she switched my contacts brand and the type of solution I use, which has my eyes feeling better than I can ever remember. Since then, she's continued to monitor my eyes for changes and to suggest ways I can take better care of my eyes -- none of which make her a dime. I trust her advice and expertise completely. read more

My husband and I recently had our progressive lenses replaced in existing frames and received excellent care from optician Bal. It can be challenging to get progressives to fit just right, and Bal went the extra mile to make sure we were completely satisfied with our new lenses. Everyone in the shop is friendly and accommodating, and it's a pleasant, brightly-lit environment with a lovely assortment of frames. read more
