    Melissa P.

    After a bad experience with my first failed attempt at progressive lens, I did hecka research, discovered Next and never looked back. Rick and Melissa were so intuitive, customer service oriented, just ... delightful. In a very short time I ended up with artsy glasses that put a pizzaz in my step. Plus, I can see! Writing this, I am two pairs of successful progressives later, plus two of Melissa's "Mel O. Art" calendars and lens cleaning cloths (which I've given as gifts as well). Make a note to self, this is the place to go for your NEXT pair of glasses!

    The glasses I came in with.

    Stellar selection and unmatched service. Not only did they hone in on several pairs that looked great on me but they adjusted the pair I came in with from another optometrist in Oakland and switched out the metal nose pads for the cushion ones to improve the slippage down the bridge if my low-profile nose. Their selection is unique and will fit everyone's taste. Run, don't walk to make an appointment. You will not be disappointed.

    After Next filled my most recent prescription, I could see more clearly than ever. Now I see why higher end opticians are worth it. Wow!

    I've gotten several pairs over a decade or more from Melissa and her team. FAN-freaking-tastic place and choices.

    Ask the Community - Next Eyewear

    I have a prescription and just need new lenses in my favorite frames. Is that something I could get done here?

    Yes, I think so but you should ask. They specialize in hard to find/unique frames. When you make your appointment, they will have you send over your prescription.

This may be the nicest frame shop I've ever been to What I appreciate most is their honesty. They recently saved me a significant amount of money by advising against anti-reflective coating after I mentioned my frustration with smudging. Most shops would just take the upsell, but Karen and Aimee actually care.

    Okay, first of all can I just say how wonderful Aimee and Karen are? They're an absolute joy of a…read moreteam and I love spending time with them talking about anything and everything! I've been going to The Optician since 2018 and my god it has changed my life and how I've viewed glassesware! I didnt even realize that glasses needed to be adjusted to your own face and the amount of comfort it gives you over the entire day, amazing! I never feel fatigued after adjustments done to my frames with them. Simply amazing. I have about 10 pairs of glasses with them now and have brought most people I know who wear glasses into the store for a new pair or two or three of glasses and the level of care and attention to detail to everyone I bring and myself is so above and beyond with what I've gotten in the past before I found The Optician. They not only help guide what looks good on you but also listen to the comfort/needs of the client in such a nuanced way that really lets the person pick what they feel the best in! Not to mention the unbridled enthusiasm when someone finds a pair that they're so in love with is just... chef's kiss moment! Honestly can't wait to start shopping for a new pair every year :)
