I was looking for an optometrist in Concord. I checked the reviews on YELP and decided to call Monument Optometry. Maria answered the phone and booked my appointment with following week. I was delighted they took VSP Insurance. The office is small and clean. They have affordable eye glasses for the family. There are no high-end frames. I found a bold, PINK frame that fits my personality. I ordered two of the same frames: one for eye glasses and one for sunglasses. Dr. Blaylock listens to your eye concerns. She is friendly and thorough with the exam. I was comfortable talking to her and I didn't feel rushed. Her equipment is not fancy, but it gets the job done without paying for expensive services or equipment. Her business is great for the local community. I highly recommend her office for your eyes care needs. read more

Very friendly. Affordable, good selection of frames. I was grateful how kind they were to my mom.

I love this place! Been coming here for a few years and we've always experienced wonderful professional service. Dr. Blaylock is wonderful and competent. She has good prices and makes sure to test you thoroughly. My kids & I love her and Maria and look forward to the annual visits! We'll be back!! read more

I just moved back to the area and called around to several local optometrists and I received a punctual call back to schedule an appointment the following week. I walked in and was greeted with a clean office and comfortable waiting area. Maria was very friendly and professional. You can tell she likes her job and being there, which is harder to find these days. I filled out a standard medical history form since it was my first visit. A short wait and I was pleased to meet Dr. Blaylock, she is very kind and understanding as we discussed my previous and current eye care needs. Her exam room was simple and organized. The eye tests and process were very thorough, yet familiar. She took a lot of time to go over my prescription and advice on keeping my eyes healthy. I learned a couple important of things on preventative care and honestly no other optometrists have ever done that before. I would have never known there was a quality eye doctor at the end of this shopping center that I frequently drive past. And I'm so glad I finally found one that I want to go back to! It was a pleasure getting to know the doctor and her staff member, making me feel at ease through the entire appointment. Highly recommended and it was very easy to use my VSP insurance as well. read more

Dr. Blaylock and Maria are the best! Her office is small and organized. Maria pays special attention in helping you find the perfect frame. Dr. Blaylock is knowledgeable and makes every effort to get your prescription correct so that you have the best vision. She works with multiple insurance plans to ensure that you maximize your coverage and benefits. Both are kind and helpful. Even though her office is small without the high end designer brand frames that I typically wear, I travel over 45 minutes to get the clearest vision possible and always find the perfect frame. I rather forsake high end designer frames for quality care. I was tired of the large optometry offices that do not give you the personalized care that Dr. Blaylock offers. She continues to add more designer frames to her shop and I am loving it. I can see perfectly and look fabulous! Highly recommend! read more

The office staff and doctor was super helpful as I had to transition from one vision insurance to the next. I was lapse in my exam and needed additional contact lenses to tie me over to me next appt. Even though I hadn't gone in for an official eye exam yet, they offered to honor and extend my contact lens prescription until the time of my exam. Eventually, my company transitioned to another vision insurance and I was able to return to my original optometry office. Had that not been the case, I would've been thoroughly impressed with this office and happy to be a new client. read more

Dr. Blaylock is so kind and phenomenal with kids. My grade-school aged daughters got a thorough eye exam and one them said even the tests with the puff of air and hot air balloon picture were fun. Dr. Blaylock took her time with them and didn't rush through helping choose eyeglass frames and explaining what options I had for the lenses. My kids were also interested in trying contacts for the first time and she even gave them a lesson on how to insert and remove contacts safely. She is a doctor that will go the extra mile to make sure you get the best eye care possible. I highly recommend! read more

It's my first year with vision insurance (VSP) and Monument Optometry was one of the most solidly reviewed providers. I already had a prescription so I went to browse for glasses. It was a really nice low key experience, the assistant listened to what I wanted and provided me with different options as I tried on frames. She was also happy to explain my benefits and how much each would cost with my coverage, which I appreciated. I love my frames, and ended up adding on some cute sunglasses for a reasonable price. I met Dr. Blaylock when I picked up my glasses, and she was very easy to talk to. She adjusted every frame until they fit perfectly. I'll be back! read more

Dr Blaylock is very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended this practice. She prescribes the newest technology contact lenses! I was in Oasys for 15 years and she gave me Precision1 and Total30 to try. Loved them both! read more

Monument Optometry - Great glasses selection - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Concord, California

A pleasant experience at a optometrist. Dr Blaylock was friendly, thorough and extremely efficient in running through the various tests of the eye exam. She took her time answering my eye questions and recommended frames that were in line with my insurance budget. The receptionist was professional and helpful and did not rush the frame selection process. read more

Doctor Blaylock spends time with you to be sure that you understand your eyes and what you need to know! Excellent doctor and service!

Super nice and very helpful! I just picked up my new glasses and I can see! And I look fabulous! :D Fast service, and knowledgeable providers. They know their stock and they know their stuff. If you're looking for a reputable practice, you've found it. This is your place for eye care. Thank you! read more

Dr. Cynthia Blaylock is the best OD you will find! I called multiple places looking for someone who knew how to treat my specific eye condition. I've had a hard time getting the correct prescription for a good number of years. My last doctor from Kaiser retired and after that it's been hard to find someone to figure it out. Not the doctor's fault it's just hard to figure it out. I called a number of places and asked if they knew how to do prescriptions for amblyopia. And Dr. Blaylock did! The first exam she blocked off a bigger time frame than usual so she can test me thoroughly. Her personality is fantastic by the way! She's patient, kind, and understanding. She took her time to give me the best chance at a good prescription and literally pulled out every trick in the eye exam book. The same ones they used at UC Berkeley when I was a child. She drew up a prescription. Unfortunately it was the same issue. Couldn't use them with both eyes. But each were clear on their own. I went in and she blocked off another big time slot to see what was going on. Well with a change of prism and axis she made it happen. I just picked up my glasses and my eyes are no longer straining to see and read. Which is what I do all day...read. I can't tell you how grateful I am for her knowledge, patience, and figuring out what was probably the most difficult prescription to make (my thoughts.. to her I believe it was a piece of cake..heehee jk I know she worked hard). I'm summarizing here because she did so much more throughout the process to help me investigate, what works and didn't as far as prism. Optometry is one of the hardest professions because you are going off of what the patient is telling you is clear or unclear. That's the only way they can figure out your prescription. It takes a lot of patience, and when you're given a curve ball like mine, a lot of investigative work. This doctor does that. She listens, takes her time with you, takes everything you say seriously, is very knowledgeable, and will not give up! She's a sleuth! When picking up my glasses she also told me I have a 2 year scratch warranty on my glasses! Yaaay! She takes care of her patients throughout the whole process! She's also young and won't be retiring anytime soon. If you need a new prescription this is the place to go! read more

Monument Optometry got my prescription right. The new prescription replaced my my last two bad prescriptions (from UC B Optometry Clinic). Lenses are now replaced on my three previous frames. Doctor and staff were kind and professional. read more

I just love Dr. Blaylock! In fact, I drive at least 30 minutes to get my eyes checked and to pay for glasses. She is professional, personable, competent and flexible. I should know as I have been going to see her for many years at another eye shop. Enjoying her personal service more than the alternative shop, I decided it was worth my time and money to drive out to where she is located...so glad I did! read more

Dr Blaylock is AMAZING It had been ages since I'd been to an optometrist so I was a bit nervous, as soon as I met Dr Blaylock my mind was put at ease. She was super friendly and personable I felt extremely comfortable and relaxed. From the moment that I scheduled my appt and all the way up to the end of the visit I had an overall positive experience. Thank you so much Dr Blaylock & Team. read more

Love love love doctor Blaylock! She's the best. Her staff is always friendly. They take their time to give you great care and products. Unlike most of the other optometrists in the area, they aren't trying to squeeze every last cent out of you. Instead they focus on your care. Highly recommend. read more

Can I just say that 'Monument Optometry', is the BEST place to get yourself or your kids some glasses. Let me tell you they are the NICEST/FRIENDLIEST people ever. You won't be let down. Joseph, the receptionist...omg! He is absolutely adorable. Super funny and professional at the same time. Oh, and he has an amazing voice-his singing skills are top notch. :) And Dr. Cynthia, she is the sweetest. Believe me when I say she goes over and beyond to help you with what you need. I had missed my appointment and I called to reschedule and she didnt really have any openings so she had me come in the very next day and she seen me ON HER LUNCH! Bless her heart...so if your looking for an Optometry place go here Monument Optometry, on Monument Blvd. you will not regret it. :) read more

I highly recommend this Optometry! I am a new patient and was able to get a back to back appointment for me and my 11 year old within a week. I'll admit when I arrived and parked outside I wasn't sure about this place. And I regret judging a book by its cover. The receptionist was very nice. The doctor was very personable and easy to talk to. She was really great with my son who is Autistic. I just really enjoyed talking to her. She made me feel really good in her care. She helped me pick out great frames and did not try to upsell. My frames were covered completely by my insurance although I was willing to pay out of pocket for designer frames. She has good taste, because it was hard to decide. I am truly happy to have found her on Yelp! And thankfully her 5 star reviews helped me to pick her as my first choice. read more

Dr. Blaylock did an outstanding job with my eye exam. Her office was able to fit me in with two weeks of me calling. I am a new patient transferring in from another city. She even worked with me on the price of some simple frames to keep the price in line with what my insurance covers. All was good. It was above my expectations, hence the five star review. read more

Dr. Blaylock is a prescription magician! Back for a 2023 appointment, I asked for not-so-faraway & computer glasses and my eyesight has changed. BINGO! Everything is perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you!!! read more

Dr Blaylock is a great optometrist. She provides personable and thorough service, and offers a great range of glasses.

Fantastic optometrist and front desk staff! I sent in a request consultation using their website and was contacted by their staff within 24 hours. They were able to fit me in that same week: just a few days later. COVID safety precautions were taken throughout my visit. I had my contacts and glasses prescriptions in hand within the hour. Everyone here is very kind and personable. I will be returning for future visits! read more

Dr. Blaylock is excellent. She takes her time with you, is extremely personal, and takes any eye concerns seriously. She always gets my prescription right, and has helped me pick out glasses on different occasions. Also, she works within my price range, which I appreciate. I am so indecisive but she makes the process easy. Everyone is very Covid safe in her office, always masked, always conscientious. If I could give her ten stars, I WOULD!!! read more

Very personal service and respectful of your insurance and budget. They were very detailed in explaining what my insurance covered and l what I would pay, as well as what was recommended for my situation. Will definitely return when I need new glasses. read more

The optometrist is very professional and helpful even when I expressed that I was not planning to purchase glasses here nor get an exam. She made calls on my behalf to get clarification on my coverage even when I told her I did not find any sunglasses there I would purchase. I would come here again! read more

Dr. Blayblock is fantastic. I was looking for a new optometrist that took my plan. I got a list and started my research. Dr. Blayblick was the only one with a 5 star rating. After my visit I have to agree. She was very knowledgeable and personable. She took her time and explained everything to me. Jessica was also very pleasant and knowledgeable. When it came down to getting a new pair of glasses, Jessica was very helpful. She told me what glasses looked good on me and which ones didn't. If you are looking for a new optometrist, I highly recommend Dr. Blayblock. My fiancé is planning on going to see her too. read more

I went here to get my eyes checked and glasses made. When I picked up the glasses and brought them home I noticed instantly that they were made wrong. My vision was blurry, could not read and immediately got a headache. I thought maybe I had to get use to them so I used them for short periods of time over the next month. There was no change. I called the office and told them what was going on. I talked directly to the Dr. She said oh, come back in and I will reexamine you and we will get you new glasses. I told her that I could not come in right away and she said whenever you want to come in just call ahead of time and I will see you that day no matter what. Her words were "even If I am with someone else". I thought that was great. Over the next several months I was having health problems and was in and out of several doctors offices and hospitals. So I called them yesterday and told them I was ready to come back in and finally get what I needed done. The girl at the front desk made me an appointment for today at 12 something. Then I get a call back very quickly and the girl says that the Dr said I waited to much time to come back. I explained to her about how the Dr. told me to come when I could and put no pressure or expiration date when I could come back. She would not hear it. I told her to have the Dr. call me and she will know what is going on. Then she puts me on hold and comes back to the phone and tells me that my Eye coverage insurance is no longer good. I was confused. I told her I would call her back. I called and found out that yes my insurance for dental and Vision had to be renewed every 1st part of the year when you have Medicare and an advantage plan. So they fixed it and I had dental and vision back in a hour. This made it so I could go back to that Dr. and have my new year appointment and have my exam and glasses paid for. I have a question, Do you think I will go back to that office? ding ding ding. The answer is NO. read more

Very thorough inspection. Doctor paid attention and took time to correctly test and focus my eyes. Check in was easy and fast, payment was as advertised with no additional taxes or fees. A+ pleased with service. read more

Dr. Blayblock is the only eye doctor you'll ever need to visit. I've had a few uncomfortable eye exams and was really dreading another one. I had a really great experience with Monument Optometry and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great eye doctor. Dr. Blayblock is a dedicated professional who's passionate about helping her community. You can really tell she loves her job and she even helped me pick out my new glasses. Not only did I enjoy my visit but she took a lot of extra time to make sure my eyes were getting the best prescription. I look forward to 'seeing' her again! Dr. Blaylock habla Español :) read more

Great service! I have a very hard to fill multi focal contact lens prescription. It always takes multiple visits back and forth to the doctor! But Dr. Blaylock took the time to listen to my needs, did a very thorough exam, and made sure that I left with contacts that fit my prescription! I am so impressed with her skills! She even talked about lasik and how it might work for me. I had always been told that LASIK would not work for my vision and was discouraged from researching that option. She is also cost conscious - looking for cost effective solutions for you! Dr. Blaylock really listens to you to understand what you need and works hard to get you a solution! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

Still going to see Dr Blaylock and Jessica. Always fast and courteous. New contacts and exam is all I need but I love trying on glasses. so many improvements from those heavy clunky ones from childhood. So, we made sunglasses out of a pair of glasses frames! Love the customization and better fit. I have VSP so I can go anywhere but I chose Dr Blaylock at Monument Optometry. read more

By far the best experience I've ever had an an optometrist. Very clean and friendly. I would highly recommend using Monument Optometry for all of your eye care needs! read more

My girlfriend and I went to this place today to get her eyes checked. The service was amazing. Dr. Blayblock was so sweet and the receptionist was very nice as well. My girlfriend said the whole experience was awesome and that she was comfortable. Dr. Blayblock spoke some Spanish which made my girlfriend more comfortable since her English is not that good. Even so, Dr. Blayblock's receptionist is able to translate if needed. They were not pushy in sales like some other optometry's we have been to in the past. They broke down all the co-pays and prices for everything. Looks like we will be coming back here every year. I high recommend this optometry! read more

Best service ever! I lost my glasses and had only one pair of contact lenses that were super worn out so it was getting hard to see. I called as a first time patient to try make an appointment to order some new contact lenses but I didn't think it was possible during this stay at home order. The person on the phone was super helpful and so understanding of my situation that she placed my order over the phone and was able to ship out my order so that I didn't have to go into the office. It was my first time contacting them and I can tell right away that they really care about all their patients. I will definitely be going back again. read more

I came here after searching through Yelp, when I ripped my last pair of contacts and needed a new prescription. Do not judge the location -- this is the best optometrist I have been to; I highly recommend Dr. Blayblock. She was very informative and friendly. I will definitely be returning here when I order glasses. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Blaylock if you're looking for a new optometrist. She was very thorough and took the time to really listen to me and understand my concerns. The front desk staff was very courteous and pleasant as well. They worked with me to squeeze in a new patient visit before the end of the year, and I am very appreciative! read more

This is my 1st time getting an eye exam and I have absolutely enjoyed the service. They are very friendly, detailed and understanding. I will definitely recommend this place. read more

In my typical optometry experiences in the past, they just did what they had to. At Monument Optometry, Dr Blaylock did a lot more than just that. She explained every detail and helped me find the best option for me. The experience was very pleasant and I am confident that I got the best pair of glasses that I will use for years. Since glasses are the tools that I use the most, practically all the time while I'm awake, getting the best matters. That is what Dr Blaylock got me. read more

What an amazing staff! Highly recommend this place. Staff and Dr were very friendly and they even helped me pick out my first pair of glasses. Dr took the time with me and was through with the exam. She answered all my questions. Will be definitely be going back every year for my exam. read more
