I was in town from Minnesota for my cousin's graduation week. On my first morning I woke up to…read morerealize I had forgotten my entire stash of daily contact lenses! AHHHHH!!!!!! In a mad panic I called several local optical clinics/shops. No one could help me, that is, until I had the fortuitous luck of reaching Emma at Dr. John R. Preset Vision Care! I explained my situation and she immediately jumped into action. She was able to get my faxed prescription from my Minnesota eye care provider, and found a pair in-stock that would meet my needs. I was literally able to pick up the new pair of contact lenses right away...when I pulled up to their office less than 30 min later, Emma came out to the front door to greet me with a smile and my contact lenses already to go. She is my savior this week! She saved me from having to squint and not be able to see my cousin walk across the stage during graduation. This is a priceless gift she was able to give me!! Thank you, Emma, for making an out of town visitor feel like a VIP valued customer!!! You are truly such a huge asset to your office!!!

I had been putting off getting 2 pairs of Ray Bans fixed. The time. The expense. In my mind, I…read morecreated this overwhelming process, so much so, I just lived without these otherwise awesome glasses for over a year. Then Lisa fixed me. Having an 'appointment time' was very welcomed with my schedule. Lisa quickly sized up the problem, put together a plan and within a few minutes, my previously 'overwhelming processes ' was completed, all the while we joked about early '80's pop culture. Then she wouldn't take money from me! I was completely taken aback by the whole experience, and I found myself looking for ways to pay it forward after leaving her shop. But know, it all started with Lisa. I look forward to seeing Lisa again then next time I need a new pair of glasses! Lisa is the change we all want to see in the world.

Highly recommend going elsewhere. Dr. Chang was great! Unfortunately, the front office staff were…read moreconsistently incompetent over the course of a couple of weeks. I was inaccurately told services weren't covered by insurance. Also, they stated not knowing the compound pharmacy information my prescription order went to or how to retrieve the medication, and then acted as if it was an inconvenience for them to find out from the doctor. They didn't know which doctor completes specific tasks such as contact lens training, so we were incorrectly scheduled with a doctor who doesn't do the training and had to reschedule much later. I asked for a school note which wasn't provided, so I had to ask again about an hour later. They also handed my young son his new eye glasses in the case and never offered to make sure they even fit him. Who does that?! Nevermind that we were never greeted while at least two staff members weren't even helping other customers, there were so many more specific examples demonstrating their level of incompetence and poor customer service. Again, save your time and patience by going elsewhere.

Fantastic Costco Eye Care Experience in SLO - Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D…read more This past Saturday, my wife and I walked into the San Luis Obispo Costco anxious and on edge. She'd noticed a new, growing floater and, after some well-meaning but alarmist input from friends, was convinced vague "flashes" (really just night-driving fatigue) might mean impending blindness or a retinal detachment. We called Friday. They said, "Come in tomorrow." No weeks-long wait. No HMO MD nor triage ER nurse gatekeeping. Just: Saturday, quick appointment friendly. Enter Dr. Loren Yasunari, O.D., the weekend relief optometrist who doesn't take insurance -- and who just delivered the most thorough, thoughtful eye exam either of us has ever had. We both went to the University of Hawaii, which was very cool indeed. He just does the weekend and is semi-retired and is a nice guy who takes pride in doing a great job like in the old days. It feels sort of like Costco priced Concierge medicine in a way. To be fair, this is not the same as seeing a MD for potential surgical advice, but it does focus on ruling out the immediate need to see a surgeon. What Made This Different (and Better) Not a refraction mill - This wasn't about pushing new glasses. It was 100% focused on ocular health and our acute concern. Step-by-step, gold-standard eval: Detailed history Slit-lamp exam (used twice) Pupil dilation Retinal photography by tech Intraocular pressure check Multiple angles of fundus viewing Informed consent done right - Every step explained, risks/benefits clear, differential diagnosis walked through out loud. Bedside manner: A+ - Calm, present, zero rush. Made a scared patient feel seen. The Verdict: All Clear No bleed No detachment No urgent threat Just a benign floater + reassurance The Logistics? Shockingly Good Cost $125 total (includes retinal photos -- a $50+ add-on elsewhere, even with VSP) Insurance None accepted -- didn't matter Wait time Next-day, Saturday, appointment needed ER/Urgent Care alternative? Zero chance they'd dilate + image Pacific Eye / SLO Eye wait? 3-6 weeks -- useless for acute concerns Local Context: Eye Care Access in SLO County Specialists are booked solid ERs have no ophthalmology on call Medicare? Great. Spouse without it? Good luck. Costco? Open Saturdays, no gatekeepers, real diagnostics. Pro tip: While waiting 20 minutes for dilation, you can roam the aisles, try all the samples including AG1 samples (tastes like lawn clippings & is priced like Presidential Crypto), or just people-watch. Best bet Kirkland Multivitamins...not Gummies. Gummies are missing vital Thiamine, and Iron for the ladies....not to mention being low on most others. For some reason, random vitamins and minerals are missing in multiple formulations...so one can be forced to buy multiple formulations to cover even basic needs. Weirdly therapeutic.
